Who was gonna tell me Dick Van Dyke was so hot?

I don't know about you, but I LOVE looking back at photos of celebrities from Hollywood's Golden Age — the "then and now" comparisons are just fascinating to me. And we've done the '80s and '70s...so now we're going back to the '60s.

Specifically, we're gonna honour the famous actors and musicians from the '60s who are still living, and absolutely killing it six decades later. So I'll give you a photo of them from the 1960s and you'll guess who they are — then, I'll reveal their name alongside a current photo of them.

Sound good? OK! Here we go...welcome to the '60s!
