Actors/Actresses you'd bring back or make younger... (1 Viewer)

I was talking to people at work about my thread about who will be the acting icons of the future. The discussion turned to "If you can bring an actor back or if they are very old and want them younger who would it be?" Give you 5 choices....

1-Jimmy Stewart
2-Steve McQueen
3-Kirk Douglas (make younger)
4-Sean Connery (make him a little younger so he will be around for a while.)
5-John Belushi (So much comedy left to give)

I am bad. I didn't pick any woman. But, these were my 5 top choices.

Myrna Loy...

Madeline Khan...

Just one for right now: Phil Hartman

I don't know if he's considered an acting icon, but it sure would have been cool if Bruce Lee lived longer.

Along the "wish they would have lived longer" idea, I also add River Phoenix.

1 - Elizabeth Taylor definitely! (younger)
2 - Marilyn Monroe
3 - Chris Farley
4 - Richard Pryor
5 - Gene Siskel (to review them)

Bill Murray so that maybe he will go back to doing comedy

Bring back....John Ritter

Made younger....James Garner

Make younger - Paul Newman

Bring back - Bette Davis

John Wayne
Grace Kelly
Kim Novak (younger of course)
Cary Grant

Bring back: John Ritter and John Candy.

Make younger: Susan Sarandon. She was hot when she was younger, still a fine looking woman now, though.

Both Audrey and Kate Hepburn.

Lauren Bacall-younger
Peter Ustinov
Peter Sellers
Sophia Loren-younger
Ann Margaret-younger
Susan Hayward
Ava Gardner
Fredric March
Spencer Tracy
Marlene Dietrich
Claudette Colbert
Joan Crawford

John Spencer. So West Wing could be completed without his sad demise "forced" into the storyline, and so he'd be available at reunions or spin-offs, if any. And of course for his own sake, he was great -- it would've been nice to see him as the lead in his own series.

Gosh...so many I'd love to still have around, or have around for a long time to come. Some first reactions:

Bring back:

Vincent Price (in a class by himself)
Lon Chaney (a truly outstanding performer)
Denver Pyle (one of the best character actors ever, along with Dub Taylor)
Buddy Ebsen (simply classic)
Michael Landon (a tremendous multi-talent)

Make younger:

Jack Klugman
Dustin Hoffman
Clint Eastwood
Dick Van Dyke
James Garner

Is James Dean better left dead with all of the mystery of what his career could have been?

Bring Back:

W.C. Fields
Marlene Dietrich
William Demarest
Nancy Marchand (Just to see what would The Sopranos be like if she hadn't died?)

Make Younger:

Robert De Niro (remember when he used to make good movies?)
Woody Allen
Catherine Deneuve
Gena Rowlands

Oh yeah, duh. *slaps head*
