Is it just me, or does this list seem to be dominated by really old guys?

Hackman is in his 70s, Freeman is in his 60s, Robertson is pushing 80.

Yeager is past 80.

I hope young superstars aren't passing on GA the way everyone else seems to
be...

How would young superstars have time? This is not a casual passion, is it?

How would young superstars have time? This is not a casual passion, is
it?

Young superstar actors, unless they are in a TV series, work an average of
10 - 20 weeks per year.

The rest of their time is spent schmoozing, partying, and feeling great
angst (in preparation for their next role, of course). Hell, look at
Travolta. He makes two movies per year, earning enough to support a
Gulfstream and a Boeing 707. The rest of the time, he plays.

Now compare this to most of us, working full-time, with families...

I was under the impression that at least some superstars put in considerable time
training (physical and acting skill).

Even so, if I can get a PP-ASEL and own my own plane by the age of 30, with
a (more than) full time job and a wife and three daughters, then any "star"
with an unlimited budget and lots of free time should be able to accomplish
the same, no?

Maybe working out physically, but which "superstars" work on their acting
ability? :~)
