Edythevanhopper Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It might be interesting to draw similarites/differences between your favorite star of old such as Jimmy Stewart and today's star Tom Hanks, or Spencer Tracy/Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It would be less about personal opinion and more about strengths and how each perceives their roles. Would be interesting reading for an old lady like me. No interesting things happening here in Monte. Edited by: Edythevanhopper on Nov 6, 2009 2:33 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugaarte Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 One of my Favorite Actors from Days Gone by would have to be: Peter Lorre. After making 'M' 1931, which left him 'Type Cast' Peter Lorre made a Wise Decision to Leave Germany during 'Pre-Hitler' days. Thus began his Long Road to Hollywood & Stardom where he 'Conquered' the English Language (though somewhat 'Choppy') when he starred in his Next film, "The Man Who Knew Too Much", Directed by Alfred Hitchcock . . . Besides English & German, Peter Lorre also spoke French. ......................................................................................... Some of the Actors of Today, that I Admire would have to be: Michael Caine Anthony Hopkins Sean Connery Clint Eastwood Meryl Streep Harrison Ford Susan Lucci Solely based on the Fact that I Remember them, Wholeheartedly, when They and I were both Younger and we 'GREW' up together . . .

Edythevanhopper Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 More analogies would be: Laurence Olivier/Jude Law. Can you see Jude Law playing Max DeWinter. I can. How about Joan Fontaine/Kate Winslet or Joan Crawford/Tilde Swinton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Could we compare Clark Gable to Harrison Ford?...or Michael Douglas, or even Leo Di Caprio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFavell Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I like your ideas and I can see resemblances between those actors/actresses.... I think that you definitely have an eye for it. I am trying to come up with some similarities - I guess to me, the most old fashioned actor we have now is George Clooney. He reminds me of Clark Gable. He has a sense of humor in the way he says a line - as if it were the biggest joke in the world that he is making a living acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Charles Laughton/Anthony Hopkins? I could see Anthony Hopkins playing in Winess for the Prosecution. What about good old Charlie Ornot chugging down the Udanga on The African Queen...could Russell Crowe possible fit with Rosie old girl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
