Stars who have aged gracefully: Post one!

[Blue-Jay]

And by "gracefully", I mean that they aren't trying to artificially remain young, but instead embrace the passage of time.

I'll start with Lena Horne.


(I've had a crush on Lena Horne since I was a wee lad)

[XemaSab]

1. I think Judith Light looks good

She might have had some work done, but she's not trying to look 20.

[flvegan]

2. Nick Nolte

[Blue-Jay]

5. Every time I see that picture, I think "Bill The Cat".

ACK!

[ThomCat]

64. There's a definite family resemblance.

:P

[GCP]

3. Audrey Hepburn

[Parche]

4. ABE VIGODA OF COURSE

:woohoo: :woohoo: :hi:

[driver8]

16. Abe Vigoda looks the same now as he did in The Godfather!

Amazing!!

[trof]

46. He looks the same now as he did at birth.

:rofl:

[Bake]

25. What? He's not dead?

I had no idea!

:rofl:

Bake

[Blue-Jay]

27. He's gonna outlive all of us.

He gets daily blood transfusions from Keith Richards.

[Hawkeye-X]

33. I keep wondering if Abe died

and the guy is ageless!

I love him!

Oh, and my favorite therapist closely resembles Abe with a beard, so it can't hurt either.

Hawkeye-X

[Blue-Jay]

6. Sean Connery.

[sasquatch]

90. That's my pick too

[carlyhippy]

7. Jane Fonda and Raquel Welch

[Blue-Jay]

8. Jamie Lee Curtis.

hubba hubba.

[terrya]

9. Lauren Bacall

She's 84 years old. Aged very gracefully.

[NV Whino]

72. She looks great, but she had some work done at least once.

[lizziegrace]

10. Diane Keaton n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Susan Lucci, Judi Dench, and Maggie Smith are the first that come to mind.

Maybe there's something about being born in December that let's one age gracefully.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. I'm screwed then.

[bigwillq]

20. Susan Lucci

looks like she had a lot of surgery done...I don't know for sure but it looks like she did. Plus, she could afford to eat a few cheesecakes...too skinny, imo.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. What amazes me is that her soap opera daughter looks like

she could be her daughter in real life.

[bigwillq]

24. Yeah, she does.

I don't watch AMC. I am a Young and Restless guy!


I really dislike Susan Lucci..I think she's phony, and I really don't think she's all that good of an actress; even for a soap.

:) :hi:

[Kat45]

75. Her daughter in real life is also a soap opera actress.

I forget her name, but she played (plays?) Gwen in "Passions." I don't think they look alike; I think Susan is prettier.

[Gormy Cuss]

12. Still looking good at an advanced age...

[southpaw]

13. She could use some Porcelana for those spots...

But, yeah... she hasn't gone black-hole on us yet.

[MilesColtrane]

82. Not even middle aged yet.

When the middle aged spread hits her, whatever life is left on this planet is going to get a Kingsford tan and a permanent orange afro.

[sniffa]

14. Natalie Portman

Look at her in The Professional and then the Star Wars prequels.

:yoiks:

[driver8]

17. Ha Ha -- good one! She really has aged gracefully, hasn't she? n/t

[sniffa]

18. Yeah, she has

:loveya:

Acting skills aside, of course...

[kimmerspixelated]

15. Ellen Burstyn.

I can't recall any others now. I know who DIDn't age gracefully: Kathleen Turner! She really looks different-not older-but bad!

[livetohike]

22. Richard Dreyfuss - he'll be 61 this year

[mnhtnbb]

23. Vanessa Redgrave

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000603/mediaindex

[PeaceNikki]

26. Michelle Pfeiffer, Glenn Close, Bernadette Peters

[Blue-Jay]

28. I'm pretty sure that Bernadette Peters is a vampire.

She just doesn't age EVER.

[Lorien]

29. Diane Lane and Harrison Ford

[freethought]

32. Score one more for Diane Lane! Very Sexy! n/t

[SoxFan]

43. Diane Lane is only 43!

Come on! That's too early for the "aging gracefully" discussion!

[Lorien]

45. So am I

but by Hollywood standards she's "old".

[leeroysphitz]

61. Those are some nice...

earrings that Ms. Lane is wearing in that tasteful photo.

[Catch22Dem]

66. Mmmmmmmmmm Cherry Valance.

Dear LORD!!!

[Genevieve]

[Blue-Jay]

31. Good choice!

She's beautiful.

[Genevieve]

34. I think so. I just loved the way she looked when she received the award for 'The Queen".

Aging naturally and gracefully - absolutely stunning!

[Hawkeye-X]

36. Isn't that California Peggy without the glasses?

37. Sidney Poitier

I saw a recent pic of him. I believe he's in his late 70's...he looks great.

[Blue-Jay]

38. Yes, sir. He's a class act.

Always has been.

[Texasgal]

39. Bonnie Raitt

And yes... I Love Lena!! :)


Edit: My pic ain't workin... :(

[Blue-Jay]

40. How did I forget about Bonnie?

She's never tried to be anything other than an awesome singer/songwriter and a kickass slide-guitarist. (Underrated on slide, if you ask me.)

EDIT:

[rug]

41. Emmylou Harris.

[Blue-Jay]

42. That's a lovely photo.

She looks like a fantasy novel queen.

[terrya]

44. Lena Horne is one very classy woman.

The woman is 91...and is still working! (I went to IMDB).

[Blue-Jay]

47. When I was a kid, I saw a B&W of "Cabin In The Sky", and I fell in love.

[Xipe Totec]

48. HE 1523 - Ancient Star Nearly as Old as the Universe

Long before our solar system formed and even before the Milky Way assumed its final spiral shape, a star slightly smaller than the Sun blazed into life in our galaxy, formed from the newly scattered remains of the first stars in the universe.

Employing techniques similar to those used to date archeological remains here on Earth, scientists have learned that a metal-poor star in our Milky Way called HE 1523 is 13.2 billion years old-just slightly younger than 13.7 billion year age of the universe. Our solar system is estimated to be only about 4.6 billion years old.

The findings are detailed in the May 10 issue of Astrophysical Journal.

[Blue-Jay]

[Catch22Dem]

67. Don't forget the other Nancy Wilson!

[PassingFair]

50. George Clooney. RRRrrrrrrrrr!

Honestly, I don't blame her. That guy is fuckin' awesome.

[leeroysphitz]

62. It's just not fucking FAIR... n/t

[IDemo]

52. Betelgeuse

I don't know what sort of maintenance work she does, but she's still an absolute stunner.

[Blue-Jay]

56. Speaking of Angels, Kate Jackson was on "Criminal Minds" last week.

She looked wonderful.

[leeroysphitz]

63. She looks surprised. Very surprised, all the time. n/t

[Blue-Jay]

[GCP]

59. Richard Gere

[Catch22Dem]

68. Redford, Ford, Brolin

[Kat45]

76. Redford?

I don't think he's aged well at all. :shrug:

[Catch22Dem]

95. Sure

The dude's like 70 and strong and healthy as an ox. He's never had any work done and still looks pretty good. You may not think so, but if I look like that when I'm 70, I'll consider myself lucky!

[Faygo Kid]

69. Cary Grant. Angela Lansbury.

Two that just popped into my head, but who fit the bill, I think.

[bluesbassman]

70. Ellen Barkin - More at 54!

I think she looks better now than earlier in her career.

[Blue-Jay]

71. Her eyes are too far apart.

Sure, she's aged well, but she still looks like Admiral Ackbar with boobs.

[NV Whino]

73. Naw. She got her nose "fixed."

I loved her nose. Really bad decision.

[NV Whino]

74. Julie Christy

Not that she's "old," but by Hollywood standards, she is (47).

[Number23]

94. GREAT choice

Anna Mae rules...
