Well, to each his own I guess, but if I didn’t know better I would never have guessed that the woman in the first photo was Olivia Newton-John.
May I have the honor of serving as your second, my good man?
Liam Nesson seems to be ageless.
And what part of grandmotherly looking does not synch with born in 1934 and 77 years old? Would you prefer she do a Joan Rivers and have facelifts until her pubic hair needs electrolysis because it turned into a beard?
Jan Hooks was quite attractive on SNL in the '80s and '90s. The years between then and her appearance on 30 Rock a couple years ago look like they were kinda rough.
So…how about those who aren’t old yet? Under 40, say. Lohan gets a lot of press, but there are actors who are aging just as badly too, Ethan Embry and Ben Foster, for example.
They’re 34 and 31 respectively.
It would be easier to identify those who HAVE aged well, because there aren’t very many in my book. But anyway -
Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Sylvester Stallone, Russell Crowe… and Charlie Sheen. Man, he’s a good example of what hard living can do to you. It kills me that he’s only in his 40’s and looks like that. So disgusting.
For actresses, I thought of Diane Lane and Catherine Zeta Jones. I seriously hope they are lying about their ages, because my mom has at least one or two decades on either of them, yet still looks half their age.
Kelly McGillis, who co-starred with Tom Cruise on Top Gun:
Today she could probably play his mother.
Show me a little sympathy, please! My favorite actress, Bette, put me through quite the infatuatory (this isn’t a word, but it should be) roller coaster over the years. One year, I’d consider “tappin’ it”, the next year I wouldn’t “do that” with a 10 foot pole. Very frustrating.
She started off pretty enough: A, only to let herself go a few short years later: B.
5 years later she cleans up her act and turns back into a sex kitten: A, only to let herself transmorgrify (this is a word, but it shouldn’t be) once again into a scraggly ol’ alley cat a mere 13 years later: B

Then, after a few years of eating well and exercising, she turns herself back into someone I wouldn’t kick out of bed for eating crackers: A, only to let it all go to hell in a hand basket a short while after that: B
…well, ok, I wouldn’t kick that last one out of bed for eating crackers, either, but still…
I have to wonder how much of the differences are young/made-up/studio shots vs. candid/real-life/paparazzi photos. Especially since some of the “now” shots I’ve seen seem to have been chosen to be as unflattering as possible. I think it would be interesting to get an older celeb posed similar to a younger headshot, professionally made up and lighted. Seems to me that would be a fair comparison. Or perhaps a candid, real-life shot of the younger self compared to a similar photo of the older self.
Some of the comparisons I’ve looked at are apples-and-oranges. To me, the ones who have aged the worst are the ones who seem to refuse to accept that they’ve aged at all. Some plastic surgery results are downright terrifying!
Ellen Barkin was on the recent roast of Roseann and she looked like an alien. Katy Sagal looked amazing for 58. I would still do her.
So your mother is in her fifties or sixties and looks half as young as this and this? Wow, how fortunate to be a part of your gene pool.
Sorry for the snark, it just strikes me as odd that you would choose an actress who is known as much for how well she’s aging as for her acting skills (Ms. Lane)
You take back what you say about my boy Ben Foster! You take it back right now!
Um, I mean, yeah, he probably looks a little older than 31. But I still love you, Ben!
That’s my opinion too. Lane has aged very well.
I totally agree! I was watching that roast and was distracted by how hot she looked.
That’s no excuse. She should be at the gym this moment for my viewing pleasure!
Boy Amanda Seyfried has not aged well at all. It looks like she went from being 26 to 90 in a short while. Not to mention she now apparently looks like Bette Davis did before she died.
I’d say she looks better now than she did in ‘8 Simple Rules’. Hubba, Hubba.
and, presumably, for at least a short time after.
