Oh, man. I had an Elle MacPherson swimsuit calendar back in my early teens. I, uh, spent a lot of “quality time” with that calendar. ---

Jerry Lewis comes to mind. Michael Jackson is the poster child of celebrities who did not age well/plastic surgery done wrong with drug abuse > **[Michael Jackson Through The Years](https://www.tmz.com/photos/2009/06/26/1949-michael-jackson-through-the-years/)** > > Michael Jackson Through The Years 1984-1987 is when he starts to look odd or has noticeable surgery By 1995-2000, he looks unattractive with deep cheekbones, bad facial hair, redder and redder lips, narrower nose etc. ---

Good DNA beats the clock most of the time. Liam Neeson has been mentioned, but maybe that’s unfair because most men can age gracefully. Julianne Moore is an example of how 50+ doesn’t have to look like it. [Wowza](http://i.cocoperez.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/julianne-moore-vs-magazine-spring-2012-cover__oPt.jpg).

I just ran across a [recent picture of Natassja Kinski](http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSnwW2WerfI-Jfv0aiT81RfamwWhoRXGS6sSWIifsuIZ5k7qUfU). Now, really, she looks quite good for 50-ish, but what really freaked me out was seeing [her dad’s face](http://i2.listal.com/image/844020/600full-klaus-kinski.jpg) on her body. ---

I’ll mention Paul McCartney and Dick Clark as celebs that aged well to around 55 or so, then lost their youthful looks. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-actor-actresses-have-not-aged-well/605894.md?page=7)
