Most people like things they have a natural talent. But it doesn't explain why they used to be taller. Could be. Most people like things they have a natural talent.

I believe more of the taller, athletic young men are primarily involved with sports rather than drama club.

A few years back models were very popular so the transition to actress was more likely than today. If your theory is correct then actresses should become shorter now. Klum, the youngest of those you mention is 35. Notably, Ellen Page, 21, is a mere 5'1''. True. A few years back models were very popular so the transition to actress was more likely than today.

My main point, however, is about height, not toughness. I don't think they're correlated. Bogart, James Cagney and Al Pacino are all short and tough, whereas the opposite goes for Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith, for instance.

The US isn't short on Tough Guy Actors, the casting universe is short on curiosity and willingness to see, audition available, new, amazing, strong, tough american actors... If the US is short on Tough Guy Actors -- tell me why the brilliant and amazing Bruno Gioiello isn't working every day. Don't know him? I wonder why?? Look him up on IMDB He's a GREAT ACTOR, strong, amazing performer. WRONG.

It's kind of apples and oranges. Different artistic goals, different technologies, different social order. Comparing old to new is like comparing directors from different countries. Both are wonderful -- and it's great that we have access to both. Absolutely, the old movies are great. It’s kind of apples and oranges.

It would look silly today if actresses looked up at their male counterparts the way they do in the old movies. Still, I like the old movies. Until recently I never watched anything in black and white, but then I saw "All about Eve" and now I'm into the noir films. You may be on to something.
