Это статья о Фрэнсисе Форде Копполе.

...with the two Godfather films and The Conversation, he was the lord of a new generation of moviemakers - young comers like George Lucas, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg, whom Billy Wilder derisively labeled the "kids with beards." Over the past three-and-a-half decades those three kids, now clean-shaven sexagenarians, have maintained and enriched their status as moguls, auteurs, producers. Coppola still has the chin whiskers but not the cachet.

Как лучше это перевести, и что именно это означает?
По-прежнему носит бороду, но...
