I am not sure about "refined" what do you guys mean by that?
What i have noticed is maybe a . . lack of charisma in many of today's actors that is disconcerting.
There was something about watching a Cary Grant on the screen or a Maureen O'harra that suggested a lot of prescence.
Most of the actors today, are likeable, but don't have that intensity that I have seen in some of the older movies.
There are exceptions: Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman, and Jack Nicholas come to mind.
Also, there is a tendency for hollywood to use younger and younger people in very dramatic roles, and sometimes that youth seems to betray them a bit. You just aren't as good at being yourself at 22 as you are at 35 and it can really show on the screen.
