It’s pretty wild how much they’ll deface themselves to attempt to hold onto their youth, esp when they’ll look much better if they avoided it in the first place. Anyone considering doing any of that shit just needs to compare old Madonna to her recent self. After seeing that, if that’s really what you want, go for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh fuck off. Actors who are famous for their faces have no good path forward. They will be criticized regardless, either for “letting themselves go” or “getting work done.”
“Age gracefully” means “get work done that I can’t clock, because it hurts my feelings to acknowledge that faces change in aesthetically displeasing ways as people age.”
I’m really sick of this pseudo-feminist policing of aging women’s faces.
Right. I’ve never seen an old person without immediately recoiling in horror, because I was raised in an under-30 only creche on a remote island without internet.
Your strawman has some bearing in hollywood circles where image is everything, but as several aging celebrities have shown us – you can literally disappear from the public whenever you want.
We are talking about actors, specifically Courtney Cox. Your weird island idea is the straw man in this conversation.
The idea that she should age in a way that continues your “crush” on her or else “disappear from the public” is continuing the policing of women’s bodies that I am referring to.
I’m not claiming agency over her like a fawning stalker… I expressed a small crush on a public figure and lamented that she had to turn to drastic surgery to remain in the limelight, when she could have just disappeared from the public consciousness altogether.
And I‘m here, only ever knowing Rowan Atkinson as a celebrity, and maybe George Clooney.
And I refuse to accept the Botox buttox as celebrities.
I like celebs who age gracefully. I had a lifelong crush on Courtney Cox before she had that horrific facelift. Just age, and maintain your dignity.

Madonna now looks exactly like Wayland Flowers’ puppet Madame. I call her “Madamma”.
it’s made even stranged by the fact that many people are clearly into old women, and have been so for ages. the concept of a cougar is NOT new!

Holly Molly! She looks like a ghoul!
Aniston is still stunning
Eh, never really my thing. Aniston needs constant validation, whereas Cox just had it, it used to be part of her allure.
I was only going on looks … personally wise I’d say Lea Thompson is the OG
Give me Kate Beckinsale on looks.
