Ageless:Joel McCrea

I wanted to post this a few days ago, but I was both sidetracked and things were so hectic, that I just never got around to doing it. I'm sorry for that but today, I've got it posted.


Even if I had randomly chosen out of the comments, it would have been the same person- Joel McCrea. Nearly every one, who had posted comments wanted to see Joel, next as a candidate on Ageless, so now I shall give you some pictures of him, from his early days in Hollywood to his latter days. Joel McCrea was born on November 5th 1905 in South Pasadena, California and died 84 years later on October 20th 1990 in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, California. Joel's career spanned from 1927 in the film "The Fair Co-ed" as a student and ended his career in 1976 in the film "Mustang Country", after 49 years in the movie business. With Joel, the older he got, the more rugged and masculine he appeared.

For some reason, I had a very difficult time, trying to find pictures of Joel after 1962, so I'm giving you him from the early 1930's to the 1960's. I hope that you'll enjoy it, anyway even though I didn't deliver the best. ;)
