I would consider the American "Golden Age" of cinema to about from 1927 (with the advent of the first "talkie") to about 1960. Or, more precisely, 1963, with the costly debâcle that was Elizabeth Taylor's CLEOPATRA.



There are not too, too many stars still living who were highly visible during this time.... How many can you name?





Off the top of my head, I'm thinking:



Doris Day

Olivia DeHavilland

Charlton Heston

Shirley Maclaine

Paul Newman

Elizabeth Taylor

Jerry Lewis

Kim Novak

Joanne Woodward

Margaret O'Brien

Shirley Temple

Robert Blake

All I could think of was Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman. It is a shame how few are left...time marches on...

Mildred Pierce's Ann Blyth



Charles Lane is 101
I did not know his name but recognized his face

I'm trying to think . . . Maureen O'Hara is still living, I believe . . . she has to be up there, too. Loved her.

How about Micky Rooney? I think he's still around . . . had thought about Ann Miller, but she died two years ago!

Ann Millar the dancer.
Cyd sorry cannot spelt her surname.



On a side note. I was watching the Bio channel and they had clips from Cleopatra with Joan Collins and Stephen Boyd!!!!!! They scrapped the whole thing and restarted with Liz and Richard!!!!

Here are two more;

Luise Rainer - The Good Earth 1937

Jane Russell

Cyd Charisse (who shares the same birthdate as me!)

That's all I can think of at the moment...

And, Maximilian Schell?

James Garner



Kathleen Freeman (?)



Julie Andrews



Albert Finney



Joan Plowright



Cloris Leachman (Ever see her as an ingenue in Mickey Spillane's KISS ME DEADLY ?)

Debbie Reynolds ?

Jennifer Jones - Song of Bernadette & Duel in the Sun

Esther Williams

The above are some of the few who are left from MGM days who have agreed to participate in a tribute to the late June Allyson. Have Liz and Debbie ever spoken since their famous rift?

Sydney Poitier is still around too.
