Answer to Question 1
There are many examples. Among them are Sean Connery, who looks more regal and intellectual as the father of Indiana Jones than he did as 007 in Dr. No; Alex Trebeck, who has hosted Jeopardy for years, looks smarter as he has grown older; Dick Clark, the never-aging teenager, appeared more and more mature as he grew older. On the other hand, actresses who have lost their edge as box office attractions due to aging include Elizabeth Taylor, Demi Moore, and Jane Fonda.
Answer to Question 2

It may refer to U.S. patriots who fought wars throughout our history to preserve freedoms for not only this country, but for people from all parts of the world. The tyrants were the people these brave Americans fought, such as Adolph Hitler.
