The actors and their ages.

[Mrs. Luke Duke]

Both John and Tom still look handsome as ever for their ages: Tom is 53 (Sept. 9, 1951) and John is 44 (April 8, 1960). Tom is the same age as my uncle and my cousin and Tom is two days older than my uncle. John is the same age as my cousin. I come from a large family where some of my cousins are the same age as my parents.

Cathy still is pretty as ever at 50 (51 on March 1). She's the same age as my aunt.

Sonny and Ben still look good for their ages. Sonny looks like he hasn't aged much since the original series. James and Rick look good too!

What do you all think? Do you think the cast has aged gracefully?

[savh2]

yea i think for the most part they def. look good for their age. especially john, i think hes gotten even better looking with age. also sonny definitely looks way younger than he is

[426GeneralLee]

Rosco (James) I thought looked really old, but then again, I don't know what his age is right now, he must be gettin up there...

[MaryAnne]

He'll be 79 in July.

Watching him as Rosco, I had always pegged him to be younger than he was at the time. LOL. He was 52 when the Duke started....I had always thought he was mid to late 40's. Of course, it turned out Rosco himself was late 40's. Maybe that had something to do with it. LOL

[Daisy_Duke_Girl]

wow i thought the same thing..i thought rosco was mid 40's. :D

[HotHillbilly]

Yeah, I think most of them have aged pretty good. 'Specially John, he's gotten hotter with age!! :wink: Aww. James reminds me of my grandfather..he's 79 also, and he always was a kid at heart. Sonny has always looked younger then he really is... but yeah.

[dixierebel001@yahoo.com]

Sonny was pretty old when they started the show
too... late 40's early 50's?!?

[Canadian_Country_Cousin]

You know I just can't believe "Bo Duke" Is two days older than my dad! And my dad kinda looks like him too, it's freaky! But they all still look really good for their ages, the wonders of Hollywood!! LOL

Interesting!

[Cooter Davenport]

I was wondering.... how old was Ben Jones when he first joined the cast of Dukes of Hazzard in "One Armed Bandits" ?.

[boiscute2007]

John's 4 years older than my dad, but John looks way younger than he is and looks younger than my dad. Tom, Cathy, Sonny, and everyone else have aged nicely too.

[Qualapec the She-Wolf]

Y'know, it's weird. Sonny looked healthy and quite young for his age at last year's CMT awards, but this year at Dukesfest he didn't look so good. I was just wondering if he got sick or something.

I saw Tom recently in some interview and in an episode of "Smallville": not that he seems older than he is but, actually, is very different; I think I'd never recognized him if I didn't know who he was.
Instead, John is always very good and, whe I saw him in some films, had no problem to recognized him.
