Some people never have a spark in their eyes, even when young.
A lot of celebrities and society people and gay guys have a certain "dead eyes with a smile" look.
QEII, in the '50s, had very lively eyes. At some point, though, by the end of her life, they'd become dead. (Didn't do research on photos through the decades, but by the 2000s, in the public pictures, she was only smiling with her mouth and not her eyes---not an "ageing" thing; a lot of old people, including QEII's own mother, kept the twinkle.)
I remember pictures of my brother in the '90s---the light was there. A decade later, it was not. (Just an ageing thing, or a wife thing? I couldn't tell you.)
