Ravages of time - remember any of these former stars?

 It sure takes me back, and it seems to unfairly target females in particular.  It also makes me want to take a hammer to every reflecting surface in my apartment.  😝

Was Vivien Leigh one of the women?

I saw Vivien Leigh in a 1960s Broadway musical, called "Tovarich."

But, I am only vaguely sure of a few others, like Elizabeth Taylor

The only male in the collection of actors is a Frenchman (now Swiss) actor named Alain Delon- 

In his day, he was considered top billing as a male actor.  

He is alive and lives in Switzerland.

As a side comment, unrelated to the main topic here, but I really love the song...seems perfect (even though I have no idea of what is being said, lol).

When I was living in Switzerland, Delon’s son was involved in a terrific car accident. A good looking boy like his father. The only thing that saved him according to the police was that he was driving a Mercedes, which held up pretty well despite the forces of the crash. Just like Princess Diana would have survived had she worn a seat belt. And maybe Princess Grace who also didn’t have her belt on. 

But I digress. These stars were all beautiful at one time but time waits for no-one. Most of them still look elegant in old age. Maybe not Bardot. I ran into her in St. Tropez 40 years ago and she looked older than her age then with her face totally wrinkled from the sun.

 Let us not forget Hedy Lamarr who is among the actresses shown in the video.  

She was often called "the most beautiful woman in the world" in the film industry. 

In addition to her acting, she was also an inventor.  

We can thank her for her invention of early cell phone technology.

My takeaway is "wear your sunscreen".

[wsc]

I'm happy, sad, embarrassed, or fill-in-the-blank, that I knew all of them except for No. 2 (after Alain Delon) and No. 7 (after Jessica Lange and before Ava Gardner). Can anyone put names to those two faces?

[Phil_musc]

I'm no expert in this but I think #2 might be Lauren Bacall.

[+ azdr0710]

Not Lauren Bacall.

I do not know who it is. 

Here is a collection of Lauren Bacall photos from childhood onward.    There are 40 photos.  Click to advance and you will see that the photos are not of number 2 in the video. https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/g31038655/lauren-bacall-life-in-photos/?slide=1

If I learn who number 2 is, I will post it.  

 

 

[wsc]

In order:

Alain Delon
No. 2   ?     [Later ID'd as Anita Ekberg]*
Brigitte Bardot
Angie Dickinson
Elizabeth Taylor
Jessica Lange
No. 7   ?     [Later ID'd as Claudia Cardinale]*
Ava Gardner
Vivien Leigh
Olivia Hussey
Deborah Kerr
Hedy Lamar
Ursula Andress
Jane Russell
Sophia Loren
Tippi Hedron

Ironic that in one thread, posters are chiding escorts for doing things to keep themselves in-shape and fresh-faced, yet in another, they're beating up celebs for not aging well.

I'm not pointing any fingers, but it's certainly ripe for just a little ridicule.

I think #2 might be Anita Ekberg (1931-2015), best remembered for her role in Fellini's La Dolce Vita.

And #7 is Claudia Cardinale.

Ekberg and Cardinale were the two names on the tip of my tongue for 2 and 7. Congratulations.

Now who is the French singer? He sounds familiar too.

I loved that generation of French singers from the 60s. My first visit to France and I brought home some records. Still have them

As long as you're not suggesting there have been examples of hypocrisy on these boards. 😂
