Interesting considerations

However when I read the title of the thread a specific YS came into my mind...

Forever young - there was a movie with that title But to answer you question - I am not sure how it goes for me. Recently a friend of mine was wondering how come I do not know Barret Oliver ... ( for his this was almost an outrageous thing ) so I guess every generation has its own young starts - now Chase Ellison , Antonio Jose , Freddie Highmore - may be I will react the same way after few years when someone says to me that he has not even heard of " my " young stars. Then there is this thing - Billy Gilman , Steklovata, the members of Hanson ...etc - they are all grown now - and yet I fail to see them changed - may be because their image of the time when they were all around has stuck to my mind ( plus strangely enough its feels like only they have grown - and not me - which of course can`t be possible ) .

lol hopefully I won`t confuse you as much with this post as I just confused myself

Zitat von »Dreamer«

I still enjoy watching the Tarzan films with Johnny Sheffield and those were in the early 1940's around the time I was born. While watching these films it never occurs to me that "Boy" (Johnny) is now nearly age 79 I simply see and enjoy the YS

I also enjoyed these Tarzan movies. It was the time when the series with Ron Ely was shown on TV.
In my dreams I ran through the bushes and trees as Jai. My first Post here at CW was about Johnny Sheffield.
Seems to me my nick is related to this

For the last years I was able to collect nearly all Tarzan movies. Only the first silent movies I could not
find on DVD or VHS. Some are TV recordings from the german TV-Station "Kabel 1".
Since I moved to DVD I would prefer DVD's instead of VHS. I still have to move some VHS to DVD...

My first memory of Jay North was when I watched the movie "Maya" here known as "Gefahr im Tal der Tiger".
It took a long time till it was repeated on TV... Finaly I got it a few years ago on VHS

That's an interesting topic here and I believe everything has their own perception on it somehow which makes this subject indeed so broad.

Personally I oftenly find myself associating particular periods of time with specific actors whilst at the mean time I don't tend to see them as history; closed page. I've seen so many young stars comming and going. Sometimes for example when I come to think of early 90s of the past century I'll think of them as "the time of Macaulay Culkin, Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazzello". When I think of late 90s I'll associate it as "the age of Haley Joel Osment, Jake Lloyd, Seth Adkins, Michael Angarano and so on". Years late I will associate 2008 with the current top names. But in the mean time it feels as if it was all happening in few days time. It's been more than 10 years since the time when I would stay whole nights trying to download two short clips from David Gallagher's film Bermuda Triangle. It's been 8 years since the night when I nearly broke the TV set with an empty bottle of Coke when Haley Joel Osment didn't win the Oscar. But this all I feel as if it was the last night. For me it's like I still live in these ages; in all of them at the same time and I guess this is like they never end for me. Like the character from the movie which has the same title as this thread, but it's not the actors that have been frozen, it's their age which has been set to repeat mode over and over.

I hope I won't confuse anyone with these thoughts of mine as it all may look like a contradiction.
