Now just do a post like this for men who found success at an older age!

I personlly see a closer one with ScarJo and Angela Landsbury. Jessica Tandy reminds me of Anna Torv from Finge. So I ran a myheritage.com celebrity collage on those two photos. Angela Landsbury looks like... Jane Fonda, Sarah Michlle Gellar and Elisha Cuthbert Jessica Tandy looks like...Fiona Apple and Claire Danes and Jane Fonda again (she gets around).

For one, most people refer to their heyday as a time when they were younger than they are now. That is such a loose expression that reading so much into it is really just looking for something offensive to complain about. The fact that they made it big after they were a bit older is proof that none of this has anything to do with sexual attractiveness defining a woman's success. It may not be impressive or neat if you aren't into that sort of thing, but I would bet that most of us enjoy looking at old family pictures to see what great-grandma looked like in her own "heyday". The difference here is that the women are not great-grandma, but stars that most people are familiar with.

I think it's always neat when you think of someone in a way you haven't thought of them before. Gives a whole new dimension to that person. And I certainly didn't mean anything by the "heyday" title... obviously when you're winning Oscars at the age of 80 you're not past your prime. Point taken. I must respectfully disagree!

The fact that actresses looked different when they were younger is neither noteworthy nor "neat." And, incidentally, all of these actresses' "heyday" was not when these pictures depict. All of these actresses found their greatest success when they were older than they were in these pictures. So, I suppose their heyday is defined solely by their sexual attractiveness. Shame.

She was stunning. It's funny to see these familiar older faces in their youth, though, especially in that clip with Betty White. The voice and the face take a moment to make sense together.

Bea Arthur. Once again the past yields its power to the future. Jokes aside, she was an amazing participant in her craft. Love the list, and would like to add Angie Dickinson. Sure, she was milfish in Police Woman...but she was scintillatingly perfect as John Wayne's love interest in Rio Bravo. R.I.P. Bea Arthur. Once again the past yields its power to the future.
