Well now that Tony Curtis has passed away there are very few actors from the so called "Golden Age" of Hollywood left alive save Kirk Douglas and Eli Wallach. Certainly I can't recall any of the stellar names who were active pre war except the child actors such as Liz Taylor and Mickey Rooney and it certainly does feel like the passing of an era with few links back to that time in film making. Curtis himself helped forge a link to the previous generation with his Cary Grant impersonation in "Some Like It Hot" and I would like to think that there are enough people who still enjoy watching the older films and film makers still indebted to their predecessors. Silent comedy had a recent upsurge thanks to Steve McQueen's art instillation and Paul Merton's TV series but as mentioned previously I miss being able to see such movies on TV during the daytime instead of the endless uninspiring chat shows, makeover shows and cut price quiz programmes.
   Anyway just to annoy my daughter at some undetermined date in the future I remembered the various people (sort of) that she reminded me of when first born.

Granted I'm not claiming some sort of spitting image and tiredness may have played a part but at a certain angle and light there was an occasional passing resemblance.
