Fred Astaire.. Cary Grant.. Gary Cooper
because in the late 50's these guys were still very big movie stars and despite their age, the public wanted them to continue in romantic roles with young beautiful actresses.
(To be fair to Fred...he was an amazing dancer who defied gravity and age and continued dancing through his 60's in
popular television specials.)
