Brad Pitt turned 50 the other day (bless his heart), and that prompted a little media interest in celebrities over that age. There’s definitely something to be said for Mr. Pitt, Johnny Depp and Colin Firth, but I wondered what actors of different generations looked like at 50.

I did some research and came up with pictures of old-time movie stars at 50. (Except for one, who’s 55 in the photo. Guess which.)
