For me it's Clint Eastwood. I watched him as a young man in "Rawhide", as a late-30s actor in his spaghetti Westerns, as Dirty Harry in his 40s and 50s, in his 60s in "Unforgiven" and "In the Line of Fire", in his early-70s in "Space Cowboys" and "Million Dollar Baby", and at age 79 in "Gran Torino".
There are celebrities who have passed have passed away during my lifetime--and I miss them dearly--like John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, but they began much earlier than Clint did, when I wasn't around.
It's been a pleasure "knowing" you, Clint. I hope you--and I--live forever! :seasix:

Sh'e probably a good example of what I was talking about with Clint. Barbara Eden kinda faded away after Genie, and seeing her pic as she looks now is kind of a shocker. Not so with Clint because he's been in the limelight since Rawhide, and we've been able to watch him age.

Ah, Barbara Eden! Still a beauty, even old! I'd put her in the same category with Raquel Welch too!

I think Raquel Wlech looks much better...at least from a distance.

That said, HARRISON FORD has aged before my eyes. First noticed in American Graffitti then Apocalypse Now. Became big time as Han Solo / Indiana Jones / Jack Ryan, among many others.

I saw her last month at the Chamber of Commerce meeting. She wasn't that bad for her age.

But Mr. Moose still looks like an old piece of carpet.
I'm going with Bruce Jenner. Every time I see him on TV I remember him at the Olympics and think how far he has fallen.

Goldie Hawn. From being a bikini clad dancing billboard on Laugh Inn, to a major celebrity. She still looks pretty good for 66 she still looks pretty good.
