Mia Farrow. Remarkable when you consider what she went through ---

Michelle Phillips, and a second for Erin Grey. I make it a point to chat with her and get another autograph every year at Comic-Con. ---

This thread is weird… because so many of these actresses have obviously had some serious plastic surgery. Michelle Pfeiffer, Morgan Fairchild, Florence Henderson, Raquel Welch, Julie Andrews, all very much not allowing time to do its thing. To me, they look obviously fake, which makes it hard for me to think that “their looks have scarcely faded.” Sure they have, and now they look like they’re wearing masks. Eh, no accounting for taste, I guess. Give me Jodie Foster or Diane Lane instead any day. ---

Not that she’s amazingly beautiful or anything, but I recently looked up Jennifer Tilly on IMDB after she was in the background a bunch in high stakes poker and was pretty surprised to learn she was almost 48. (She looked better there than she does in that IMDB photo) ---

Kim Basinger [at almost 53](http://movies.aol.com/celebrity/kim-basinger/4427/photos/actress-kim-basinger-attends-the-premiere-of-the-hbo-american-undercover/1482657) shows some slippage - but I suggest that she shows less wear than one might expect 20 years after 9 1/2 weeks and almost 25 from Never Say Never Again. Mary Hart is closer to 60 than 50 and looks closer to 40 than 50 to me. (but that might stretch you idea of “actress”) ---

I’ll second the Sandra Bullock, Diane Lane, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Doris Day is looking pretty good for 60+, too. ---

I agree about Julie Andrews, Diane Lane and Sandra Bullock. We just got a kids’ video about wildlife in Belize which was hosted by Mariette Hartley. She’s aged very well. Here’s a recent photo: [http://www.jacneed.com/PhotoFile/Mariette\_Hartley.jpg](http://www.jacneed.com/PhotoFile/Mariette_Hartley.jpg) The years have also been kind to Mary Tyler Moore: [http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/news/in-vivo/Vol3\_Iss11\_nov\_dec\_04/img/mary\_tyler\_moore.jpg](http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/news/in-vivo/Vol3_Iss11_nov_dec_04/img/mary_tyler_moore.jpg) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/actresses-whose-looks-have-scarcely-faded/371806.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/actresses-whose-looks-have-scarcely-faded/371806.md?page=5)
