How about "Good-bye Cruel World"? I loved James Darren in The Time Tunnel tv series. Only later did I find out what a great voice he has.

Notice anything wierd about this clip:
quote:
James Darren , a film actor, TV star, singer, and director was born June 8th in Philadelphia. A chance introduction to the legendary producer/talent executive, Joyce Selznick, led to Darren's signing a seven year contract with Columbia Pictures. During his Columbia years, Darren made 19 films including playing Private Spyros Pappadimos in the big-budget The Guns of Navarone in 1961 and Gidget two years earlier. Darren played rich-kid surfer, Moondoggie, and returned to star in two of the sequels.

Notice it does not give year of birth!
Well, I did find it elsewhere.
quote:
James William Ercolani (born June 8, 1936), known by his stage name James Darren, is an American television and film actor, television director, and singer.
You realize that would make him 73.....and just look at his pics through the years. This guy does not age. There is something strange going on here. Have you ever noticed how so many Hollywood folk never get old? Do you think there is some ageless techniques, "special science" or something that is reserved for the stars??

I think what you describe can be explained through excellent health care, cosmetic surgery, access to a good make-up artist, and flatteringly lit photography. And yes, those things are reserved for the stars, in a manner of speaking. Nevertheless, although James Darren still looks pretty darn good, he has aged from his days as a teen heart throb. I pulled up google images on him, and there he is with gray hair and wrinkles. Sexy ones, but definitely present.
Did you hear about the flap in the UK about an airbrushed photo of Twiggy that made her look about 25 when she is several decades older? They were using it to sell cosmetics. But seriously, the images of stars are more real than the people they represent, and images can be ageless.

Legend has it that drinking blood is an elixer that preserves youth.
The sanctity of blood in Christian culture may stem from ancient blood drinking cults.
I think I will start a thread about that.
I have noticed too many Hollywood people that seem "ageless".
