Just read todays WSJ and there is a review of a movie where Julie Christie plays the role of a woman in the early stages of Alzheimers. What a downer. Wasn't it just a few years ago that she was the incredibly beautiful and young Lara in Dr. Zivahgo.
One of her best, that many have not seen is "Don't Look Now", with Donald Sutherland. The sex scenes are hot. The outtakes were the talk of Hollywood when it was made. A great mystery thriller love story.
...and it appears by her style/era of clothing that I was in pre-school when this pic was taken... I don't think that it's making you "feel" old, but merely pointing to the fact that you ARE old...IMHO
To you a "few years ago"... to me "a lifetime ago"... it's all a matter of perspective...
I know that makes me old, but I'm still here. When my dad was in the nursing home he hung out with the young nurses, not the ladies of his generation. Yeah LIFE.
My 87 year old dad is living in an assisted living center. The average age there is 85 and everyone calls me sonny. One benefit of living to that age is that the female to male ratio is 9to 1!
gas was $0.30 a gallon AND they came out to check your tires, and oil and wore a uniform at the filling station. Fruit in the supermarket was seasonal (not year round stuff) so we had strawberries in the spring, citrus & apples in the fall, tomatoes in the summer, etc. Movies were about $0.35-$0.50 and sometimes that was for a double feature. TV was only Black and White. Radio still contained "shows" with scripts. All cities were connected via 2 lane roads for the most part with some 4 lane expressways. When you went to buy new shoes, they "flouroscoped" your foot in the shoe - to determine if it fit. No kid played soccer. No one had a peanut allergy. Kids DID have fights on the school yard, but without knives and guns - and for the most part no adult was involved... You could buy a comic book for $0.10. Ice cream mostly came in 3 flavors... chocolate, strawberry (with real strawberries in it), and vanilla. Oldies referred to a totally different style of music, Glenn Miller, Arte Shaw, Bennie Goodman, the Dorsey brothers.... The Beatles were not yet on the Ed Sullivan show... Bob Denver was not yet Gilligan - but rather Maynard G. Krebs, the work phobe from Dobie Gillis... Most primetime shows delt with westerns.... The national TV news had new faces reporting it - Huntley and Brinkley. Soooo when I want to feel old...
I go onto the soccer field with my 10 yr. old daughter and try to block her goal shots! yea, I guess we are as old as we act.... and age is just a number....
