One thing I like about old movies is to see wrinkles on faces. The actors look like honest-to-God real people to me.
Especially on men's faces. How can I believe you're really 55 or 60 if you have a baby face? Yet, that is the way now, even among non-actors. Everyone aims for looking like nothing older than 40. Then, they die and you read they were 86. This, IMO, is age-shaming.
This a picture of Cronkite maybe close to the year he retired. How dare the man have laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, deep cheek folds, working on a double-chin and jowls and yet they still ALLOWED him to be on Television! What low standards we had back then!
That is a joke. It is rumored Cronkite was inspired to retire when the News Division was put under the Entertainment Division at CBS and news was going to have to vie for ratings and ad dollars just like Entertainment TV had to. He didn't see war, murder, greed and graft as entertainment. Old fuddy-duddy.
Anyway - that's what I like seeing in old movies - normal aging on people's faces.
