Famous & well-known people who defy/defied aging...

[Aunt Marg]

Defying age has been something that has been sought after since the dawn of time. Serums, lotions, anti-aging creams, pills, supplements, specialized diets, exercise, plastic surgery... the lengths and extremes people go to look younger and maintain their youthfulness are endless, but short of being blessed with good genetics, the sands of time in the hourglass tell the truth and can't be tricked or cheated.

Thought this would make for a fun and interesting topic to engage in.

At the top of my list... Robert Stack. He always looked years younger than he was.

Good topic I don't buy into all those anti-aging creams I think they are just a big business or for making a lot of money and I just am my natural self and I guess I always will be.

She looks amazing. It’s surprising what being rich will do.

I always liked Kitty Carlisle. She looked the same from the 1950's until she died.

I've always been fascinated with Betty White's secret. She's ageless with a beautiful soul.

Audrey Hepburn had that ageless graceful look

cher then and now.

When I see a photo of Cher, I'm reminded of a line from "Lethal Weapon."
Mel Gibson & Danny Glover are trying to dismantle a bomb under a car.
While they're examining all the wiring, Mel says, "More plastic than Cher."

James Garner, was another actor I remember not only for being down to earth and real people, but for defying age so well.

Like fine wine, some people just get better with age. Sean Connery.

Like cheap wine, some people dry up and their corks fall out. Mickey Rourke.

That is true BUT there's no denying her svelte body is amazing at 74!

I don't know whether she's had cosmetic surgery or not, but regardless, I'm always stunned when Marlo Thomas appears on t.v. promoting St. Jude's Children's Hospital. She's 82 years old!

i am not so sure that all the surgeries and botox and implants and what have you, would be worth that much. they do not look natural at all. i think it spoils their beauty.

Agree!

I fell in love with him decades ago, because he was never in the news constantly. He didn't go around looking for attention, unlike so many of today's stars, and he just seemed so honest-to-goodness to me.

In my eyes he was the few and far between, and of course, a really great actor.

I've always liked Mr. Cage:

Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin are hilarious starring in The Kominsky Method, streaming on Netflix. They make no attempt to look "young," but they don't exactly act like anyone's image of old age, either. They are mischievous, loving, at times stupid, very much involved with their families... in other words, they are portrayed as regular people, not stereotypes.

 

[Sassycakes]

One of my favorite actors Pierce Brosnan .

I loved Meg Ryan's face before she had all those plastic surgeries. Can't even recognize her now.

I've seen great results done by Korean plastic surgeons, movie stars ought to check them out.

I agree. Meg Ryan should have left well enough alone. She looks terrible. I wonder if they think they look better? If I looked worse after I would be so angry.
