Helen Hunt - WTF happened? (mild)

So, I’m watching Letterman from last night and Helen Hunt is the first guest. She is about 2 months older than me and she looks like she’s 10 years older.

She looks like she’s been chain-smoking 100 cigarettes a day for the last 20 years.

Man, really kills THAT fantasy.

Huh? She’s 42, right?

The last time I checked, she still looked absolutely fantastic. Did something terrible happen in the last month or so? Because unless something drastic has happened, she looks like a totally beddable 42-year-old to me. She’s always had that kind of realistic, non-plastic beauty.

Ah, Here’s a recent piccie.

Yeah, her face is showing signs of age, almost like it’s been used to form expressions and stuff.

I hope this means she’s going to age beautifully, like Kathryn Hepburn did, and not turn into some horrifying parody of youth, like Joan Rivers, or something.

Her skin, especially around the eyes, looks like parchment.

Yeah! What’s she thinking, trying to age gracefully?!

Helen Hunt looks like a 42-year-old woman who takes decent care of herself. I don’t see the problem.

Too much tanning/time spent outdoors in direct sunlight.

I caught a bit of her last night, too, and was surprised to hear it was Helen Hunt. Maybe she just had a bad night, but she looked like she’d aged a lot recently.

Yeah, in profile, it looked mostly like her, but front on she looked almost entirely unlike herself. Not just a cutie aging, but her facial features looked different. Maybe she was sick, or doing meth, or incredibly stressed, whatever. She did not look like the Helen Hunt I saw a mere few months back.

I thought she looked fine during her early days on her TV show, but when it got down to its last season or so, she’d lost too much weight, her hair was stringy, and they put her in ugly clothes. Maybe that was the beginning of an inexorable downward spiral?

Wait until you see Priscilla Presley on Letterman.tonight. She was once so lovely and I had to turn it off because it she looked very scary. She’s using waaaaay too much collagen and botox in her quest to look younger. I won’t even mention the hair color.

Letterman must have fired his lighting and makeup crew

How dare she look like a normal person! She’s a celebrity. She’s supposed to get those eye’s lifted, puff the lips with collagen. Are those lines I see on her forehead? Where’s the botox?

Actually she does look good for 42, but when she was in her 20’s she looked alot older than her age.

Not a problem. The problems are: a) she’s too thin, and b) she dresses like a couture whore.

Put 20 lbs on her and dress her in something short and black, and she’d be delicious.
