Hi Christine:

I looked at some Julie Christie movies last night - Darling and Zhivago (both 1965). What strikes me is that though about the same age as the Titanic romantic leads (24), she had a gravitas they and their contemporaries do not possess. Christie was young, but she was an adult.

Maybe it's just my own perspective but I don't see any Hepburns, Davis's, Colberts or Stanwycks out here. The men have the same problem - with the exception of Richard Dreyfuss, who went from teenager to grandfather in a flash. Like his cohorts, Tom Cruise looks like an aging teenager to me. DiCaprio just looks like an androgynous boy.

Maybe it's just the times or perhaps the food supply, all those preservatives working their wonders in untold ways, retarding aging and adult development. Since we know that drugs can age (Dreyfuss, Slick), could it also be the food chemists have unknowingly brought us synthetic ambrosia?

What? Did you say "please pass the Velveeta"?

S'ok. I won't cry for you. You do seem to be growing younger with each slice you are dealt. Better watch it though, looks like you're starting to break out.
