Then or Now?
June 8th 2009 08:11
Who passed their screen-life and curdled early, and who only got better as they ripened on the reel? It’s as easy to romanticise the past as it is to focus only on what is familiar to us in the present day. I think the well-known actors listed below are a mix of those who have taken a more relaxed, less ambitious view of their career after roles for which they will be forever remembered, those who are as steady as ever, and those who are still climbing, and for whom the best may be yet to come.

Meryl Streep: Manhattan to Mamma Mia
John Travolta: Fever to Fireman
Helen Mirren: Hermia to Her Majesty
