In "Dazed and Confused," the 1993 Richard Linklater coming-of-age film set on the last day of school in 1976, Matthew McConaughey's character has a few memorable lines. In one, McConaughey's relaxed, swoopy-haired Wooderson says, "That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older; they stay the same age."
That role helped make McConaughey's career. But the line seems almost like something another breakout star of the 1990s might say: Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio started acting as a child, rose to prominence with a recurring role on the series "Growing Pains," and became a megastar with "Titanic." Despite an Oscar and Golden Globes, we talk about him these days most often in reference to his dating life, which is ridiculous.
