Actors Who Got Better With Age
I will put up Robert DeNiro. He was a great actor that started phoning it in years ago.
In a similiar vein, John Hughes had an incredible run as a Writer, Director and Producer but either burnt out or got ruined by the success of Home Alone.
He directed 5 classics from 84-87He wrote these classics and decent movies:
- Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
- Weird Science (1985)
- The Breakfast Club (1985)
- Sixteen Candles (1984)
But from 1990's megahit Home Alone on his quality disappeared.
