I saw this a few months ago, and I fear that what we've created today with Botox and fillers available in every salon, even dentist offices are doing them... mega plastic surgery as well.. and making it ''normal'' to deny ageing... is a generation now who are so afraid of looking older and dying... that they lash out at anyone in the public eye, who reminds them of old age , and that could be them if one day they can't afford these procedures...

And if she tried to look younger, there would be people complaining about that, too.

Yes. It seems like woman are darned if they do and darned if they don't. Men don't seem to be held to such high standards.

Sally Field is also aging naturally and she looks great. Many of the movie stars look awful with all the work that they’ve had done. They would’ve looked better if they would’ve just aged naturally.
It is sad that so many think they have to turn back time to land roles in Hollywood. Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the hardest working actresses right now.
Not necessarily an actress, but this is a good example of trying to hang on for too long. So much plastic surgery, and Madonna still looks like a 67 year-old woman who's had plastic surgery. This is just proof that you can't turn back time unless you're Cher.

I will say that I imagine it may be very difficult to be an actress in Hollywood when so much is centered on appearance. One woman that I think has been beautiful for decades is Michelle Pfeifer. She still looks stunning but natural. She clearly has good genes.

To Rachel Ward I would say,: "Be proud of your wrinkles, they are where your smiles have been."
To her detractors, I would say: "The lady is your future...........................if you can make it that far!"

that's what they're terrified of... they will do anything not to look like that in the future...look at people like Sharon Osbourne and the late Joan Rivers... they look like freaks... but they're so desperate not to look old...

My DIL in Virginia works for a plastic surgeon and tried to sweetly shame me into
Botox. I simply told her, I want my grandchildren to see the stages of age. I don't
want them being shocked when I die "But grandma was so young!".
I know by family genetics the next 2 years are going to be the big changes for me, I
want them to see it.
I applaud those actresses for staying natural, You know they had to have pressure on them
to have procedures done.

Everyone wants to look young forever. Better, my mind is young than my physical looks.

I think the "excuse" celebrities are given or believe that they have to have work done or taking weight loss drugs etc. It is untrue.
if an actress embraces age she can still work regularly. The roles are just mom or grandma roles not leading lady.
When people have work done (some badly) that is all someone sees .......many have ruined their career. People only see the bad facelift or over plumped up lips etc.

I've read every post and see valid points on both sides. My thoughts are, there is a way to take care of one's appearance without going to extremes. I still like this photo of Joy Behar, age 83 which I've posted before. She can be seen daily on ABC television's "The View."

she has already admitted in interviews she has a lot of work done to her face...
Quote :
Joy Behar has shared the secret to her ageless complexion – revealing that she gets laser treatment and Botox to keep her looking young.
The View host, 83, confessed that she would not look like she does without non-invasive help and additional hair and make-up.
Speaking on Wednesday's episode of the ABC show, Joy delighted in revealing to her co-stars Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farrah Griffin that she underwent three procedures just yesterday.
'I don't wake up looking like this,' she said.
'I had a laser treatment,
She then quipped: 'I had so many procedures I almost didn't have time to have sex with ChatGPT! I was so busy getting procedures.'
Sharing more detail, Joy added: 'So, a little Restolin, a little Botox, hair and make-up professionally done and you come out looking like me and Helen Mirren.
'If you don't have help like that, you're not going to look as good. That's the truth.'
This isn't the first time that Joy, has candidly revealed what procedures she has had.
In 2023, the television star shared that she had fillers.
'How do you think I look so good for 115 years old?' she said on the program.
She then detailed: 'Yesterday, they did a (procedure) which puts collagen back into your face.'

I wasn't claiming Ms Behar had no work done; just that she looks good for 83.
By going to extremes, I'm referring to dispropotionate lips, cat eyes, or morbid side effects.
Some women use expensive creams and beauty products, some have dermatological procedures such as laser resurfacing, chemical peels or microneedling; some have surgical procedures. It all depends on individual choices, how important it is to them personally, and to their careers.
Whether Ms Behar has had one procedure or forty, her skin and appearance has been well cared for, and it shows not only in the still photo I posted, but on her current TV appearances which I watch every weekday.

but that's precisely the point of this thread... she doesn't look good for her age naturally, she has had many procedures... another one who is terrified of looking old..

No, the "point to this thread" is stated in thread title "Actress whogot backlash for looking her age," [RachelWard].
Posts #7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and [your] post #13 render personal opinions on other actresses and opinions of them, rather than sticking with the "point to this thread," yet my post was singled out as not in alignment with the "point to this thread." Interesting.
