Who's aging WELL?

[Dookus]

I nominate Catherine Deneuve...

[101 Proof]

1. Dick Clark.

[Dookus]

2. That pic must be 15 years old....

He's lookin' pretty creepy these days.

[101 Proof]

3. It's the only one I could find.

:shrug:

[Dookus]

4. Here's another...

I was pretty shocked when I first saw it, but she still looks beautiful. Grace Slick:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

19. I will ALWAYS love Grace Slick for saying old people shouldn't do

rock and roll...Mick and Rod need to retire or do jazz or something like that...they are embarrassing themselves.

[Cooley Hurd]

5. Barbara Eden...

She's going to be 70 this year...

[Dookus]

7. Good god, you call that aging well?

I saw her on Larry King awhile ago. She's had her face pulled back so far her ears meet in the back.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. Catherine Deneuve is a classic beauty

her anti-aging secret: She has never put her face in the sun or sunbathed.

[Dookus]

11. well it works...

she's still stunning.

Sophia Loren is another one who just stayed gorgeous well into her "senior" years.

[ornotna]

13. You bet

Yowza!

[Dookus]

15. thanks...

she's gorgeous.

[toodles_oduff]

8. Kim Novak . . .

She was on "Larry King" tonight. Still looks good and she's got to be close to 70. Others: Raquel Welch, Susan Lucci, Lauren Hutton, Julie Christie.

[Dookus]

12. hrmm...

I just switched over to Larry King to see...

She's been botoxed within an inch of her life. NOTHING moves on her face. That's not aging well, in my book.

[toodles_oduff]

28. Maybe it'll wear off . . .

and she'll get some movement back in her face. They had a clip of her and Elizabeth Taylor from an old film they did together and botox-or-no, Kim's looking better than poor Liz is these days.

I'll add Jaclyn Smith and Kim Basinger to the list. And speaking of two 1970's TV blonde bombshells, Suzanne Somers is looking better than Farrah Fawcett these days. I'm sure all these gals have had "procedures" done, it's just that the results on some have turned out better than others.

[Dookus]

9. And here is...

the 58(!) year old Deborah Harry. Saw her last year in concert - she looked fantastic.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. I saw her down here at the Coach House

near to where you visited when you were here...she is SOOO COOOL

[BurtWorm]

23. Patti Smith is, too

[SOteric]

10. Diane Keaton and Lauren Hutton

[madrchsod]

16. yes lauren hutton

is still good looking..of course she`s my age so she better be!

[Shakespeare]

14. Tippi Hedren

http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0115906/Ss/0115906/2?path=pgallery&path_key=Hedren,%20Tippi

Edited for link...IMDB won't let you link the photo directly.

She's 73 and looks younger than her daughter! (That would be Melanie Griffith)

[Dookus]

17. And we can't leave out the men:

Paul Newman

[stanwyck]

39. Plus Dennis Quaid, Willem Dafoe, and

Jeff Bridges.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch

I emcee'd an event with Raquel Welch and Edward James Olmos a couple years ago. She is more stunningly beautiful in person and actually shorter than I thought.

[Tinoire]

26. Damn! You beat me to it! Lol

:hi:

[ornotna]

21. The other Italian sex symbol

Gina Lollobrigida



Not to shabby for being born in 1927

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

22. Cher

[Dookus]

47. no fucking kidding...

Yes, she's had a lot of work done...

but I saw her retirement special on TV (and I saw her in concert a couple years ago) and NO amount of plastic surgery gives a woman her age the body she has.

She has the ass of a 20 year old. A sexy 20 year old.

[dawn]

24. Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery.

Love those Bond men! :)

[Tinoire]

25. Good choice. Here's mine for the aging

From this:



To this:





or

From this:



To this:



Raquel Welch

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

27. Connie Stevens

and that Brady boy

[leftofthedial]

29. Dolly Parton

Raquel Welch

Tina Turner

[Dookus]

30. Hrmm...

we've never actually SEEN Dolly Parton. She doesn't even leave the bedroom unless she's fully made-up and the wig is on.

Pretty much the same for Tina Turner. I adore Tina, and she's sure kept her body, but she's had a lot of work done on her face.

Raquel Welch looks great, though.

[Dookus]

31. regarding

Dolly... I will say that I love her. The best Dolly story I heard was a few years ago when I was visiting my sister in a small town in upstate NY for christmas.

Her next door neighbors (an elderly couple) had gone to the local nursing home to visit his mother.

They were so excited when they got back. Dolly Parton was there visiting the people on xmas day. She happened to be in the area and while she didn't know anybody in the nursing home, she just went on xmas to spread a little cheer.

I love that.

[leftofthedial]

32. I've seen Dolly up close

though not without makeup.

She's a real beauty and a great person too.

Not to mention an excellent songwriter.

Wigs don't bother me. Women's hair is often as phony as it gets anyway.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

33. kick

[terrya]

34. I'll also nominate Susan Sarandon. eom

35. Sandra Milo at 68..

She was in Fellini's 8 1/2 and Juliet of the Spirits

don't know how to post a picture but this is the link

http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id=1800054551&cf=pg&photoid=478288&intl=us

[Ellen Forradalom]

36. The Hon. Hillary Rodham Clinton

keeps looking better and better.

[angee_is_mad]

37. Sean Connery

[aQuArius]

38. Matt Lauer

Yummy!

[maveric]

40. Anne Margaret, Faye Dunaway, Lauren Bacall...

Emmy Lou Harris (grey hair and all)
Sophia Loren

[Dookus]

44. Hrmm....

have you seen pics of Faye Dunaway lately?

Her face doesn't look anything like it used to. And I thought she was one of the great beauties of hollywood. But she's had so much work done she's unrecognizable.


Plus, I got turned off to her when a friend who worked in a very upscale L.A. antiques store told me she used to sweep into the store and announce very loudly "Faye Dunaway is here".

Ugh.

[Catherine Vincent]

41. My main man Bill Clinton and his wife, Senator Clinton.

[Dirk39]

42. The pope, the pope, the pope....

Leave me alone with all these Deneuves (arghhhh!), these Hillary Clintons (Ughhhhh!), and all of these silicone mountains. Give me some human dignity, give me something, that's alive. Or should I vote for Fidel Castro!? Or the pope, or both. I can't decide...

Helpless in Germany,
Dirk

[Lindsey]

43. I think the Clintons look great

I saw Hillary during her book signing last summer and I thought she was radiant.

[Dookus]

46. I agree..

they both look great.

Bill aged a lot during his presidency, but now he looks more relaxed than ever. He's really grown into his face.

And I don't care what anybody says, Hillary is gorgeous.

[Dookus]

45. Hey!

I really don't think Deneuve's had much, if anything, done. She still looks gorgeous, but still natural.

[Gore1FL]

48. My Oedipus dream....

Linda Carter

http://www.celebritystorm.com/celebs/pics/LindaCarter/index.html

and Stockard Channing



Preferably at the same time :)

[Dookus]

49. Yowza!

Apropos to this thread...

Mark Harmon is on Craig Kilbourne right now.

be still my heart. I never liked him much when he was younger, but God, what a hunk he is now!

[rumguy]

50. Leonardo Dicaprio

[Dookus]

51. good lord...

he's too young for us to know if he's aging well!


I mean AGING, baby!

And by aging well, I don't mean "looks young". Somebody posted Barbara Eden above. I don't think a 70 year old woman trying to look like a high-school cheerleader is "aging well". I mean taking it gracefully. Accepting your looks, but still looking good.

Having a totally reconstructed face is not aging well, even if it DOES make you look 10 years younger. I mean people who've grown naturally into their looks and handle it with grace and dignity.

Like Catherine Deneuve :)

[rumguy]

54. Leo is getting old

[Dookus]

56. he just turned 29 a few months ago!!!

whippersnapper

[VOX]

52. Cheryl Tiegs will be 57 this year...

And at 57 she is still stunning...

[Dookus]

53. Cheryl Tiegs is 57?

sigh.... I am SO old...

[VOX]

55. Born 9/25/47...

Right there with you, Dookus -- is it time to buy a walker and stock up on soft, bland foods? ;-)

http://www.askmen.com/women/models_100/139c_cheryl_tiegs.html
"Born on September 25, 1947, Cheryl Tiegs was raised in a modest home as the daughter of a florist and a mortician..."

[Dookus]

57. modest?

I've known a couple of morticians, and they all did quite well for themselves. Add a florist wife, and it's a money machine.

But still... Cheryl Tiegs is 57?!!

I'm 42.. it's strange to see the sex symbols of my teenage years, both male and female, join the AARP.

[VOX]

58. My wife grew up in the same 'hood as Ms. Tiegs: Alhambra, CA...

It's not quite San Marino, it's not quite South Pasadena...but it's a notch above modest.

I'll be hitting the double-nickle (55) this year, and it seems like I only just got here, and have finally figured out how things work!

The old saw of "youth is wasted on the young" rings truer and truer with each passing month...

[Dookus]

59. heheh...

There are only parts of youth that's wasted on the young. Yes, they don't appreciate how healthy or sexy or resilient they are. But they lack a lot, too.

I'm 42. I've been through great times and awful times in my life. But I wouldn't be 19 again for anything. Now if you could transplant my 42 year old mind into my 19 year old body... then we can talk :)
