Unlike the stars covered so far, the legendary George Takei is better remembered for what he looked like in his 20s, and is probably unrecognizable to many.
Born on April 20, 1937, he is best known for playing Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek.
At the time, Takei sported chiseled, angular features and short jet-black hair, but his eyes stood out above all.
Takei was 29 when the series premiered on September 8, 1966, per the National Air and Space Museum.

Mary Louise Streep, born June 22, 1949, is more than just a pretty face. She made her stage debut fresh into her 20s in the 1971 Playboy of Seville, followed by an on-screen appearance in The Deadliest Season six years later — one year after receiving her MFA from Yale.
In that same decade, her roles in The Deer Hunter and Kramer vs. Kramer propelled her to stardom, according to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
It wasn’t all flashing cameras, though. The young actress endured humble beginnings, which, as some on Reddit note, didn’t detract from her “extremely breathtakingly beautiful” appearance.
