What’s the cutoff for the golden age? Do we include the 1960s stars?
Do we include Julie Andrews? Carol Burnett? Barbara Streisand?

Is Nancy Olson like the blonde Jane Wyman? They were both in Pollyanna, and I remember thinking as a kid how identical they looked in their appearance, only one was blonde and the other was brunette.

Claire Trevor is 93 if this were 2003, but she died in 200 so it's a moot point.
I've always thought the Golden Age ended in 1959 but Universal was still putting people under contract through the mid1960s. I think a good marker is when the MPAA came out with movie ratings, whenever that was.
And I'm still angry that the Academy has been spending precious Special Oscar resources on people with scant filmographies. Irene Donne? Marsha Hunt? Shame on them.

R31 Up until just recently George Chakiris was still dyeing his hair dark brown or black, which made him look sad. He finally went grey, which makes more sense since he is now 91.

R49, Margaret O'Brien was in an episode of 'Adam-12 (S3, Ep12) when she was 33 and I didn't recognize her until I looked up the cast on IMDb. It will be coming up soon on MeTV as they're back to season one. 'Adam-12' is also on another retro channel (FeTV?). Margaret O;Brien, now 87, also has two credits listed as in post-production on IMDb.

Hollywood's Golden Age coincides with the Motion Picture Production Code (aka 'Hayes Code') which lasted from 1934 to 1968, when it was abolished and replaced with the ratings system (G. PG, R, X; later PG-13, NC-17).
SILENT FILMS (1890s - 1927)
PRE-CODE HOLLYWOOD (1927-1934)
GOLDEN AGE (1934 - 1968)
NEW HOLLYWOOD (1968 - 1980)

Child star Sandy Descher (b. 1945) has 50 credits to her credit despite retiring at age 23. Probably best known for playing the screaming little girl in 'Them,' she also played the screaming little girl in 'The Bad and the Beautiful' and the daughter of Elizabeth Taylor's character in 'The Last Time I Saw Paris.'

R59, if the '60s are included in The Golden Age, Candace Hilligoss (b.1935), best known for 'Carnival of Souls,' is still living, despite also starring in 'The Curse of the Living Corpse,' co-starring Roy Scheider. Let's just say he was a much better actor by the time he did 'Jaws.'

Golden Age to me is until the very early 60s at most. Once movies become more risque and the code lost its power (about 1962) it ushered in a new era.
