Incredible Pictures of Old Celebrities and Their Younger Selves

Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews was named the "Youngest Prima Doma" in Britain in the 1950s. She was then cast in Mary Poppins, which won Julie her first Academy Award. This led her to star in The Sound of Music, but she didn't stop there. Andrews starred in The Princess Diaries as the Queen of Genovia. Her presence in films has always completely changed how the public viewed them. Even when she took up voice acting, she was able to boost the popularity of movies like Aquaman and Despicable Me. 

Morgan Freeman

Believe it or not, before Morgan Freeman became the "voice of God," he spent the majority of his life touring with a musical group. He acted in minor films as small characters until the age of 57 in 1990. That's when Freeman landed his big break in the movie The Shawshank Redemption.
