Oh, I know it was Lena Headey who starred in Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, but you are correct in that I had my series mixed up - Linda Hamilton is guesting on Chuck, not Terminator TSCC. Thanks for the correction!
Emma Thompson is 52, nearly 53. I’m not going to say that 52 is old but for professional actresses to start thinking about plastic surgery I certainly think it’s old enough.
(Not old enough that I think they must do it, but old enough that anyone who is likely to do it would have done it already.)
And Kate Winslet, 36, even as young as she is, has been very vocal in her objection to being photoshopped. So, I can see her making the anti-plastic surgery pledge as a matter of basic principle.
Rachel Weisz, 41, well, anyone who so much as thinks of altering Rachel Weisz’ appearance will have to go through me first!!!
But surgery is a word that has “meanings.” For instance, botox is the most common procedure in Hollywood. Clooney seems to have had this done. Do veneers count? Virtually anyone over 40 with sparkly white teeth are veneers. You can’t get that level of white in real life. What about hair transplants?
Or you can do it in a round-a-bout way. Jennifer Aninston had a deviated septum. So she had it corrected and while the guy was doing that…
The thing is once you start you got to keep it up or it collapses even worse.
Before his death, Leslie Nielsen didn’t age a day in almost 30 years. He looked exactly the same in Naked Gun 33 1/3 as he did in Airplane!. Same with Harry Morgan.
In regards to the living, I suspect George Clooney is going to turn out like Frank Sinatra.
Guys who go premature grey or white (see also Steve Martin) tend to pick an age and stick with it. Still, before his death, which was 14 years after Naked Gun 33 1/3, he certainly did look older than he did in Airplane!.
And Naked Gun 33 1/3 was only 14 years after Airplane!. Looking good over a 14 year period isn’t hard if you take care of yourself, and it’s pretty much required that a professional actor be able to maintain a look for as short a stretch of time as 14 years. In the 28 years between Airplane! and his death, he did indeed show signs of aging.
I’ll be there with you, my friend.
Is there another Steve Martin?
Diane Keaton.
Robert Redford looks pretty unmodified to me.
I don’t think Susan Sarandon has had work done, or if she has then it’s been subtle. I think she looks good for her age, but she’s clearly not a young woman anymore and doesn’t seem to be trying to pass herself off as one.
no, but there may be a Lily Tomlin.
Goldie Hawn. Kathleen Turner, who appears to now resemble a man as well as sound like one. But watch her in Body Heat. Bawooga!
Though she hasn’t been a “Hollywood star” for some time . . . Brigitte Bardot.
If you don’t recognize her, here’s a “before” picture.
Kathleen Turner has had rheumatoid arthritis since the early 1990s, and she looks pretty goddam good, considering.
All I can say is that if Anita Ekberg has had work done on her, she deserves a full refund.
Imagine getting there from here.
In related news, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and the wraith of Steve Jobs got together to launch the “Anti-Ramen Noodles & Generic Hotdogs League”
There’s a huge amount of confirmation bias here. It’s relatively difficult to identify plastic surgery done right. People don’t look like they’ve had work done, they just look good.
The people you can identify as having had plastic surgery are usually partway into the uncanny valley of stretched skin, big lips, uneven features, etc. The only ones you notice are the ones that look bad.
Huh? That second photo is just taken too close up and she’s got too much makeup on. I hope I look half that good at 80. Actually, I think my eye bags already have hers beat.
I thought maybe Julie Christie but apparently she has had some ‘minor’ work done after all. Well hers doesn’t seem to have been disastrous at least.
