A gallery pairs early-career and later photos of 21 Old Hollywood stars, from Marilyn Monroe and James Dean to Brigitte Bardot. It also lists their final or most recent roles or performances and death dates for those who had died.
The lineup includes Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, Shirley Temple, John Wayne, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Fred Astaire, Lauren Bacall, Sophia Loren, Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Rock Hudson and Brigitte Bardot. Dated pairs include Monroe in 1946 and 1962 and Bardot in 1955 and 2007.
For Judy Garland, the listed endpoint is a performance, not an acting role: a 1963 taping of Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again alongside Barbra Streisand. The article describes The Life Ahead (2020) as Sophia Loren’s most recent role.
