I agree. It kills me that the highest voted pictures are usually taken when the person is on the verge of death. For example, https://www.themoviedb.org/person/190-clint-eastwood/profiles It baffles me that people insist on upvoting a picture of him at age 80 instead of one from age 40.

Interesting request. It's funny that you say you don't like Clint at 80. To me, it's not about age it's simply more to do with what they look like today, ie. as current as we possible or that is uploaded.

I guess it's a personal preference thing but I totally fall into the camp of contributing and voting up images of what they look like today.

I guess it does come down to personal preference - when I picture people, I tend to picture them from the period at which they were most notable or producing their best work. Of course, I tend to disagree with the populist vote for just about every type of image on this site, heh. But I must ask, when you picture Alfred Hitchcock, do you picture him as a tombstone, or a skeleton? :P

For a japanese granma who now play in family dramas, I found only photo from her when she makes erotic movies in the 70s. No chance the granma version beat the pinup version in a picture vote...
