'The Outsiders' Cast: Where Are They Now?

The Outsiders': Where Are They Now?

    Stay gold!" a dying Johnny Cade tells pal Ponyboy in 'The Outsiders,' Francis Ford Coppola's look at teen class warfare in Tulsa, Okla., circa 1967.

    On the film's anniversary, we check in with the "Greasers" and "Socs" to find out who's stayed gold ... and who hasn't. --By Tom Johnson

    C. Thomas Howell

    Then: As introspective dreamer Ponyboy Curtis, Howell set many a pre-pubescent girl's heart aflutter, but it was his far-from-PC star turn in 'Soul Man' that gained the actor enduring fame. He played a white student who pretends he's black to get into Harvard.

    C. Thomas Howell

    Now: Film stardom, including a role in 'Red Dawn,' has given way, mostly, to rounds of TV guest spots on hit shows such as '24.' Like 'Outsiders' co-star Tom Cruise, he starred in 'War of the Worlds' in 2005 -- except his version was low-budget and straight-to-DVD.

    Patrick Swayze

    Then: Swayze's turn as buff older bro Darry gave 'The Outsiders' needed gravitas. It was just one of many roles ('Dirty Dancing,' 'Roadhouse') that showcased the machismo of this classically-trained ballet dancer and thrill-seeker.

    Patrick Swayze

    Now: In January, Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Though initial tabloid rumors claimed he had only weeks to live, the actor's doctor denied these reports, saying that Swayze has a "limited amount of the disease" and is responding well to treatment.

    Rob Lowe

    Then: As tough-guy Greaser Sodapop Curtis, Brat Packer Rob Lowe was more bumble than rumble. No matter, the chiseled actor weathered a damaging sex tape scandal, hitting his stride (and winning an Emmy) in the long-running TV hit, 'The West Wing.'

    Rob Lowe

    Now: A tireless fundraiser for cancer charities, the actor is also an avid political activist and "renowned" sportsman (he famously killed the Iowa state bird, a goldfinch, while golfing there). He can currently be seen on the ABC drama 'Brothers & Sisters.'

    Ralph Macchio

    Then: Too bad Ralph couldn't channel the survivor instinct of his most famous role, 'Karate Kid,' into doomed hood Johnny Cade. He was a popular cover boy on teen mags like Tiger Beat, but his boyish good looks exacted a price and he never "grew" into adult roles.

    Ralph Macchio

    Now: Macchio lives with his wife and kids in Long Island and has showed good humor burlesquing himself as himself on TV comedies like 'Entourage.' He makes a rare film appearance in this year's horror-comedy, 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead.'

    Glenn Withrow

    Then: Withrow's Tim Shepard was a Greaser of few words, but the actor parlayed that minimalist approach into roles in five Coppola films.

    Now: Jettisoning acting for a steadier paycheck, Glenn is the CEO of an L.A.-based media production facility.
