some improved, some got ugly, and yet some didn't change at all

Kathleen Turner looks like hell.

Melanie Griffith

Anjelica Houston, Jane Fonda and Madonna all look great, and Bette Midler! Good lord, she's gorgeous!

I don't have to make myself feel old..........I am.

I don't have to make myself feel old..........I am.

Then what does that make me....

You my dear are no where near old..... and we both know it. If anything you are very young, just ask the gorgeous wife.....

Actually, since I feel like I am pretty old (40s), these pictures make me feel young! Thank you, gg!

P.S. I don't care how old Pacino gets, he will always be welcome in my boudoir

I thought that, overall, they've all aged pretty well. Some horrible pictures of them though ... anyone looks bad when its a bad shot.

I thought Michelle Pfiefer looks better now - some people look better as they grow into themselves and thier looks. Sort of like Darryl Hannah or Uma Thurman - I never understood the big deal about them until they got a bit older (or maybe it was just the skin tight outfits they work in Kill Bill).

Ok, why did they compare now Sally Fields to a preteen Sally Fields?

 

[impressive]

Just reinforces my bias against the visual aspects of "beauty."

I think most of those women aged beautifully. I love the laugh lines around their eyes, so expressive.

I stopped before I got that far. But Sally Field in the ads for medications, still looks good. She's apparently dating one of her Brothers and Sisters co-stars and he's in his 30's. She > 60.

To me, for the men, Tom Selleck, George Clooney, and Bruce Willis all look as good or better now than they did. Some of the others aged okay as well, but some have not aged well at all.


Most of the women aged pretty well but there were a couple of "yikes" in there.

I think Raquel Welch is sipping from the Fountain of Youth. Amazing.

Some of them aren't fair.

They paired a retouched "then" photo from oscar night or a publicity still against an informal event "now" photo.

It would be more interesting to see an apples to apples comparison. The makeup, hairstyle, hair coloring and airbrushing can make a huge difference.

I thought that too.

Now I really feel old. I think all of them were younger than I am.

Indeed. A tabloid at the grocery store a few months ago had Halle Berry walking around in sweats and without makeup. Mind you, she still looked good, but more human, and less "Alien from the Planet Wowza" that she looks when dressed up and made up.

Of course, those tabloid photos are the opposite side of the coin from the publicity stills, etc. They buy unflattering photos, and I believe they then retouch them to make the subject look worse.

Of course, somebody as young and beautiful as Halle Berry is going to look good, no matter what is done to change that, unless they make her completely unrecognizable.

Gawd. Robert Redford.

Tom Selleck is just a hottie no matter what.

I think for some of them, their current hairstyle is dragging them down. Like they think longer hair will make them look younger, when that is really not the case. Isabella Rosellini, for example.
