Gen X AARP Cover Celebs

My grandmother used to get AARP newsletter tabloids featuring celebrities on the front cover that the target AARP audience of the time could relate to: Hume Cronyn, Bing Crosby, Katherine Hepburn, etc. I remember noticing (in the 1990s?) when Kenny Rogers and others who rose to prominence in the 1960s started showing up on those AARP covers. The old target audience was being replaced by the Baby Boomers. Susan Sarandon (my reaction: "Hey, she was in Rocky Horror and The Hunger! She's not old!") was the cover star in the 2000s sometime. Years pass. Then, the December 2023 AARP Bulletin comes out, with John Lydon (ex-Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten) on the cover! Way to make me feel old, AARP! And this month, Drew Barrymore ("that little girl in *Poltergeist*"!) is the AARP cover star!
