{snip} …pulled a Jennifer Grey…
[/QUOTE]
I give you E.G. Daily, “Dottie” from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure (1985), and the singer from Better Off Dead (1985): today.
Some might like her new look (I honestly hope she does and is happy with it), but I thought she her natural self was adorable.
I’m pretty sure that’s Kelly Lynch from Roadhouse or Priscilla Barnes from Three’s Company. Either way, she looks good for 55/58.
Gasp! Where, oh where has my Nurse Betty gone? <cry>
If I was her husband, I’d feel like I was having an affair every time I was with her. Hey, maybe that’s their kink.
I wouldn’t say that, as she got a similar amount of publicity for exactly the same thing almost exactly twelve months ago:
Another surprising change in appearance is Zach Galifianakis. He stopped drinking and lost a bunch of weight.
Well… I’m not so sure I’d give her mid-40s. Especially in Hollywood, I think I’d give her “mid-60s hoping to pass for 40s”
This is just the break that Joey Lauren Adams has been waiting for!
If nothing else, I bet she could steal Zellweger’s restaurant reservations.
“No, I’M Renee Zellweger! She has MY table!”
“Yeah right, lady. go back to your PTA meeting…”
Brett Butler. That’s who I’ve been trying to remember.
Part of what is so distracting to me is that her eyebrows are so sparse. It really lengthens the top of her face because she is missing that bit of definition. If she filled in her brows, I think she’d look much more like herself.
Other than that, I can’t figure out what she might have done. She has the wrinkles you’d expect for someone her age, so I don’t think she’s done Botox. I agree that she looks to have lost a good bit of fullness in her face, which could be surgery, aging, or illness. Plus, she’s not doing the squinty, pouty thing she usually does.
Is that really Zellwegger? Seriously, is there proof the woman in those photos is actually Zellwegger and not someone claiming to be her with plastic surgery? I’m not trying to be cute. I’m looking at older photos right now and I genuinely see no resemblance.
Folks keep mentioning Jennifer Grey, but she’s still recognizable. You look at her and you don’t need anyone to tell you her name.
These are my thoughts. It somehow doesn’t look like surgery to me. Many people are quick to jump on plastic surgery as the reason for any change that may actually be natural or due to illness, diet, or exercise, and I don’t think it is surgery this time.
But if it is, it’s comments like this that may be responsible for her wanting it:
She’s turned herself into Glenn Close’s sister.
She’s not smiling either, and she used to smile very big and toothy (squinty eyes and all).
In the future, nobody will be able to understand why this was supposed to be funny…
This. I’ve seen some stories saying how people are being mean and bullying her about her looks but to me it’s not an “OHMYGOD She looks horrible!” but “Who the hell is that?” moment. She looks like a totally different person. If I had been shown that picture and not told who it was, I never would have guessed it was her.
I had the same thought as well.
What can you say when you’re late to a thread and everyone’s already said all there is but there’s still something inside that you’ve just got to say?
Renee!
That was exactly my reaction. I wonder if she’s gone Hollywood super-skinny which may be why her face is so thin. In one of the articles, they were comparing her current look to one of the earlier Bridget Jones-era pics. From what I remember, she’d gained weight for the first one at least (I lost interest after that).
I sadly admit to snickering at the sidebar on one of the articles posted above. There was another article entitled: “5 Stars Who Look More Like Renée Zellweger Than Renée Zellweger”.
I hope it’s not permanent. Doesn’t botox eventually wear off? It’s too bad people think they need to tweak their appearance to the point they lose their distinctiveness and end up all looking alike. Made me think of that game where contestants would try to guess the celebrity from just a portion of their faces—I wouldn’t be able to recognize the eyebrows between Sly Stalone, Kenny Rogers, and Al Pacino.
Which is odd, because IIRC, he looked like himself in that GEICO commercial to me. Did it just “wear off” or something?
