Yup, newer models don't last as long.

That must have cost a fortune all in all, but at least it is well done. If you do it, do it right. True craftsmanship is always worth it.

How about Joan Rivers? She looks younger at 79 than she did in 1965!

...and at this rate, her eyes will be completely pulled shut by the time she's 89.
Too bad they can't tighten the skin around her massive pie-hole.

She's been reborn and is alive and well.

When Claudia started her career (modeling for Guess Jeans) the similarities were even more overt (and certainly intentional):

Most fittingly, however, the American public chose to go bananas about Heid Klum rather than Claudia Schiffer (even though, I hasten to add, Claudia never sported a Hitler 'tache!). Alas!, but then you liked Foghat better than Roxy Music too. Heidi is the Foghat of supermodels.  :mrgreen:

A mention of Gwyneth she who may not be named in every thread in this thread would certainly not go amiss, would it? She even has a stadium (or arena rock) hubby.

Why? Is she 70+ like Sophia Loren? She's not in the same league as Loren anyway. Never thought Bardot was all that either.

Joan Rivers is pulled so tight, her navel is probably on top of her head by now.

This is actually perfectly normal for a woman her age.
I find all those plastified women disturbing and pathetic (including Sophia Loren)

True. Ms Bardot could still be an It-grandma if she wanted to, dragging herself from one party/charity to another and living off her fame and undergoing cosmetic surgery in regular intervals. She decided against all that and her then still existing blond bimbo image decades ago and became an animal rights activist. That might not be to everyone's liking, but it sure beats being invited for what you once where and fighting age all the time.

She never made me cream in my pants when she was young (though I understand why people found her beautiful), but I respect how she lives her life now.

I just thought these different women were good contasting examples of how differently they approached their looks as they aged. Looks aside, Sophia will always be remembered as a great actress, Joan a talented comedian, Brigitte maybe wasn't the best actress but is definitely and admirable woman. So Dave who floats your boat from the 70 plus gang? Ursulla Andress perhaps?

Don't think she had much work done. I think it's cool she was in Matthew Barney's multimedia art exhibit The Cremaster Cycle I saw at the Guggenheim in NYC.

Ursula had a lot of work done, just not very well done. Sophia should share an address with her. Or Demi Moore. Demi, never a really beautiful woman in my book (neither was Ursula, that Bo Derek prototype), has been in skillful hands too. Didn't help with Ashton in the long run though (but their marriage lasted longer than most in Hollywood, to their credit).

Heading: Dame Diana Rigg may be 70 this month but she still drives a Mercedes sports car, smokes 20 a day and swears by a bottle of Merlot before bedtime. The spirit of Emma Peel lives on, finds Nigel Farndale. Portrait by James Deavin.

I would take Claudia over Heidi in a heartbeat! Which makes sense I guess, since I have more Roxy Music in my collection than Foghat.  ;D

In terms of looking hot for a long time, from any era, I think it's hard to beat Marlene Dietrich. Look at her in 1932 in Shanghai Express and then in 1958 in Touch of Evil and she holds up solid. She was bi too.

Gene Tierney was beautiful, but by the time she was in her early 40s she looked terrible. Years in mental institutions and electroshock therapy tends to do that.

I loved her in "The Ghost & Mrs. Muir" - such subtle beauty and poise.

...and Dave, she probably was the classiest chick in the Electrotherapy ward.

Post by: Dave W on November 29, 2012, 06:48:18 PM
She was just beautiful in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

She may have been the prettiest when she went in, but not after she got out. She moved to Houston (where I grew up) in the early 60s after she married a local man. She appeared on TV in connection with some fundraisers and may have acted in some local plays. I remember being amazed at how much older she looked than my mother -- they were about the same age. She looked like a much older woman who had abused alcohol for years. Then I read about her history of being in and out of mental hospitals.

Not a good example for natural beauty IMHO. Good ole Raquel started "helping mother nature" so early we never got to see the original state in the first place. I remember seeing a movie with her in the early seventies and a - needless to say: American, you know how these people are - member of the audience yelling: "Yeah, Silicon-Welch!"

It had nothing to do with computers.

Hollywood being Hollywod, you never know how much this old girl had done, but it was at least done with respect for the achievement of age:

I had a crush on Donna Reed when I was a teenager and she was in her mid 30's.
My girlfriend at the time (my wife for the past 22 years) thought it was kinda creepy to be pervin' on someone in their 30's.
Now, I'm in my 50's and watching her in "It's a Wonderful Life" when she was like 25 or something...

Did I go through some worm hole or something? 
How did I become older than Donna Reed, so now I'm perving in the other age direction?

You know, I was going to mention her.  And, she aged very gracefully.
