Stars' Changing Looks: From Lena Horne to Elizabeth Taylor
The evolution of actors' appearances over their careers is fascinating. Let's explore how the looks of Lena Horne, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, Gregory Peck, Lauren Bacall, and Elizabeth Taylor changed from their first to their final major film roles.
Lena Horne, who began her career at 21 in 'The Duke is Tops', transformed dramatically by the time she was 61 in 'The Wiz'. Similarly, Marlon Brando, starting at 26 in 'The Men', looked vastly different at 77 in 'The Score'. Humphrey Bogart, from 'A Devil with Women' at 31, aged to 57 in 'The Harder They Fall'. Gregory Peck, from 'Days of Glory' at 28, maintained a consistent dignity but aged to 48 in 'Behold a Pale Horse'. Lauren Bacall, from 'To Have and Have Not' at 20, evolved to 83 in 'Wide Blue Yonder'. Elizabeth Taylor, from 'There's One Born Every Minute' at 10, changed drastically to 62 in 'The Flintstones'.
While comparisons vary, Cary Grant is often noted for a broader range of roles and visible changes, unlike Gregory Peck who maintained a consistent image.
These actors' appearances evolved significantly over their careers, reflecting the passage of time and the diverse roles they undertook. Each left a lasting impact on cinema, showcasing their versatility and longevity.
