Which actor or actress from the golden age of cinema do you miss the most?


Recommended Posts

  • Chishu Ryu (actor in many of Yasujiro Ozu's films; (Ozu is my favourite director, bar none).  Films include:  Tokyo Story (voted the greatest film of all time in the 2012 edition of a poll of film directors by Sight and Sound magazine) ; Floating Weeds, Good Morning, Late Spring, Early Summer.
  • Takashi Shimura (200+ films, including 21 of Akira Kurosawa's 30 films).  Ikiru, (considered one of the greatest movies of all time) Seven Samurai, Sanjuro, High and Low, Kwaidan.
  • Toshiro MifuneSeven Samurai, Rashomon, Yojimbo, High and LowThrone of Blood, Red Beard.  Also, Hiroshi Inagaki's beautiful 1962 film Chushingura (in my opinion the best film about the 47 Loyal Retainers) as well as Inagaki's celebrated Samurai Trilogy
  • Others:  Jean Gabin, Anthony Quinn, Peter Ustinov, Alec Guinness.

recently watched his movie and saw him on an old episode of 'what's my line' 

Yes I saw it too, what a hero and excellent actor.

Apparently Donald Duck is still around, it's a Trump alias.

 

Vance fits Goofy to a T.

Ooooh!

Ouch.

They may be the next incumbents on Capitol hill.

Given a choice of either, I think I would still prefer Goofy over Donald Duck though.

Having said that I would not wish either on the American electorate.

Dirk Z:

Liv Ullman and Marie-France Pisier

 

Oh, thank you, sir, for your discernment and impeccable taste.

Good memories of Liv and the beautiful Bibi Andersson in Ingmar Bergman's fascinating 'Persona'.

Marie-France I watched with pleasure in Truffaut's 'Stolen Kisses'.

When she died, President Sarkozy made a public statement honouring 'her supreme elegance born of the most perfect simplicity'.
