I actually mistakenly listed my guesses youngest to oldest. So I actually got DeNiro wrong and Redford right.
I knew Redford most be old- cuz I seen him on a 196O episode of Route 66 on TV!
I was thinking Redford was oldest but the rest I wasn't sure of. Good game.
RC's are even harder.
Give it a whirl- it's only a game!

ok fair enough... (however if we were under exam conditions I'd have to take your answer as it was listed :teddyr:)

totally uninformed guess incoming...
oldestBELA LUGOSI
BUSTER KEATON
CHARLIE CHAPLIN
LON CHANEY JR
GLORIA SWANSON
youngestedited to clarify oldest/youngest... not because I cheated. no sireee...
The ones in dark are correct-
Charlie Chaplin
Gloria Swanson
Bela Lugosi
Buster Keaton
Lon Chaney SR. (not JR.)
So yeah- the order is pretty obvious now. GOOD JOB! :thumbup:
hah, not bad, although more fluke than educated...
how about some ladies in the house
alphabetical:
JAMIE LEE CURTIS
JUDI DENCH
HELEN MIRREN
MERYL STREEP
SIGOURNEY WEAVER
(I haven't looked these up yet)
Oldest to youngest (guess):
Dench
Streep
Mirren
Curtis
Weaver
more I think the more I'm changing my mind... watched that recent Newspaper reporter film with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in it (forgot the name) and was surprised how 'not old' Streep looked... think Mirren might be older... also I'm guessing Lee Curtis is younger than HALLOWEEN than Weaver was in ALIEN , maybe?
JUDI DENCH
HELEN MIRREN
MERYL STREEP
SIGOURNEY WEAVER
JAMIE LEE CURTIS
Helen Mirren
Meryl Streep
Judi Dench
Jamie Lee Curtis
Sigourney Weaver
well by total fluke it seems I got that one right, the correct order is:
JUDI DENCH -- 1934
HELEN MIRREN -- 1945
MERYL STREEP -- 1949 (July)
SIGOURNEY WEAVER -- 1949 (October)
JAMIE LEE CURTIS -- 1958
only 3 months between Streep and Weaver, did not think they'd be basically the same age
battle of the tv hunks...
alphabetical:
DIRK BENEDICT
PIERCE BROSNAN
DAVID HASSLEHOFF
DON JOHNSON
TOM SELLECK
Oldest to youngest:
Benedict
Johnson
Brosnan
Selleck
Hasselhoff
agree with your oldest + youngest (don't think Hoff was in anything much before NIGHT RIDER in 84 and Benedict was not a spring chicken in BATTLESTAR GALACTICA)... got a hunch Selleck might be older than you'd maybe assume, the 'tache plays tricks!
I'll go
DIRK BENEDICT
TOM SELLECK
PIERCE BROSNAN
DON JOHNSON
DAVID HASSLEHOFF
I'll try-
1.Dirk Benedict (just cuz I don't know who he is)
2.Don Johnson
3.Tom Selleck
4.Pierce Bronsan
5. Davis Hasselhof

you do....
(https://www.nbc.com/sites/nbcunbc/files/files/NBC-The-A-Team-Keyart.jpg)
dude on the far left :)
scores on the doors...
TOM SELLECK -- 1945 (January)
DIRK BENEDICT -- 1945 (March)
DON JOHNSON -- 1949
DAVID HASSLEHOFF -- 1952
PIERCE BROSNAN -- 1953
none of us got any in the right position
I was right about Selleck being older... didn't think he'd be the oldest
^ I knew Seeleck was the Marlboro Man in the old cigarette comercials in the early 70's..
OK- I got some-
.Charles Bronsan
.Clint Eastwood
.Bruce Lee
.Jack Nicholson
.Tom Lauglin (Billy Jack)
damn that's a toughie...
CHARLES BRONSON
CLINT EASTWOOD
TOM LAUGHLIN
JACK NICHOLSON
BRUCE LEE
not seen BILLY JACK, and can't even picture Tom Laughlin so that one's a total guess.
DAM! You got them all correct!
Bronsan- 1921
Eastwood- 1930
Laughlin- 1931
Nicholson- 1937
Lee- 1940
Eastwood
Lee
Nicolson
Bronson
Laughlin
I got them all wrong. :drink:

I knew Eastwood was born in 1930, and I knew Bronson was around his mid 70s in DEATH WISH V (1994). and I was pretty sure Bruce Lee was in his 30s when he died in the early 1970s... educated guesses with those, Nicholson I wasn't sure and Laughlin was a lucky guess
mega directors
alphabetical:
JAMES CAMERON
BRIAN DE PALMA
RIDLEY SCOTT
STEVEN SPIELBERG
OLIVER STONE
genuinely no clue on this one...
De Palma
Spielberg
Scott
Stone
Cameron
^1/5
1 more than I probably would've got :)
RIDLEY SCOTT -- 1937
BRIAN DE PALMA -- 1940
OLIVER STONE -- 1946 (September)
STEVEN SPIELBERG -- 1946 (December)
JAMES CAMERON -- 1954
my last 3 line ups have each had two people born within 3 months of each other...
Ok- Try these ones-
.Chuck Norris
.Jackie Chan
.Fred Williamson
.Issac Hayes
.Pam Grier
hmm, all in their prime in the 1970s. going to be close
NORRIS
CHAN
HAYES
WILLIAMSON
GRIER
ok now thinking ISAAC HAYES might have been the oldest. he sounded pretty old on his 70s soul tracks... might just have had an old sounding voice. I'll leave my list as it is tho
How about
Norris
Hayes
Williamson
Grier
Chan

??
^ Yessir!
Ok- some more-!
. Mia Farrow
. Faye Dunaway
3. Ursala Andress
4. Jane Fonda
5. Cher
These surprised me!
ANDRESS
FONDA
CHER
FARROW
DUNAWAY
ANDRESS -YES!
FONDA- YES!
CHER-No
FARROW-YES
DUNAWAY-No
So Cher is the youngest...which seems odd, being she's had the most plastic surgery.
yeah I was tempted to say Cher was oldest for a sec... haha
seeing as you picked Isaac Hayes, how about some acting musicians...
ART GARFUNKEL
KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
KEITH RICHARDS
GENE SIMMONS
TINA TURNER
not checked these yet
btw in my last job I worked with a Chinese guy called Kris, who later revealed his middle name was Kristofferson... his parents were just big fans, lol
Richards
Kristofferson
Garfunkle
Turner
Simmons
?
TINA TURNER
KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
ART GARFUNKEL
GENE SIMMONS
KEITH RICHARDS
yeah I've gone off the wall here...he looks ancient but I don't think Keith Richards was an original member of the Stones, and maybe would've been too young to be in them in the 60s? and Ike + Tina were around in the 60s I think.... Kiss didn't start out till early 70s.
RC you want a go on this?
. Keith Richards
. Kris Kristopherson
. Tina Turner
. Art Garfunkel
. Gene Simmons
Keith WAS a founding member of the Stones. The only one who isn't is Ron Wood- who replaced Mick Taylor-and he replaced Brian Jones!
yep... I was wrong about Keeff not being an original member there,
however the list makes for interesting reading... Rev wins with 2/5 in the right place, me and you both got 1/5 :)
KRIS KRISTOFERSON -- 1936
TINA TURNER -- 1939
ART GARFUNKEL -- 1941
KEITH RICHARDS -- 1943
GENE SIMMONS -- 1949
KR was still one of the youngies!
