Happy 90th birthday, Bruce Dern! The first of his movies I’d ever seen was The Great Gatsby (1974) as we meet his Tom Buchanan, dressed for polo in blue jersey, white breeches, oxblood boots, and a tri-buckle kidney belt—supplemented with a shawl cardigan.

You guys are such cliches. He has no idea what he's wearing. He's buttoned both buttons on a two button jacket, which is basically never acceptable. He's wearing a tie pin with a waistcoat. The collar is wrong and it's unbuttoned. Combining 1920s hair with a Victorian moustache is gauche. He looks like a waiter at a try-hard artisanal cocktail place in 2014.

Born 100 years ago on June 1, 1926, Andy Griffith debuted in A Face in the Crowd (1957) as drifter-turned-demagogue “Lonesome” Rhodes, whose clothes like this silky sport shirt, string tie, light flannel suit, and cowboy boots reflect his homespun persona.

Joseph Cotten was born 121 years ago today on May 15, 1905, and there’s a reason he starred in three of the greatest directors’ favorites of their own films!

[Stephen Gibbons @Gibboanxious]

— Joseph Cotten
