Hollywood Legends Over 80: You Won’t Believe How They Look Today! (Then & Now)

Dick Van Dyke and Mel Brooks just turned 100. Clint Eastwood is 96, Julie Andrews 91, Harrison Ford 84. How do the Hollywood legends we grew up with look today — and who is still with us in 2026? One of the toughest stars of them all didn’t make it to this episode by just a few months. Remember Saturday nights at the video store? In this Then & Now 2026 episode we look at 25+ classic Hollywood stars over 80 — the faces from Mary Poppins, Dirty Harry, The Godfather, Rocky, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Home Alone and Lethal Weapon. See how these old Hollywood actors look now, who is still acting, who has retired, and which movie legends we’ve lost. Along the way we explain the psychology behind nostalgia — why the stars of our youth still look young in our minds, and why seeing them again means so much.
