to think 'omg there's something WRONG with her FACE' when I see so many American actresses

[OTheHugeManatee]

Especially older ones. Their mouths don't move properly! It always looks like they're trying to hold in a mouthful of marbles. I think it's all the Botox and it gives me the creeps.

I find it really unfair that male actors are allowed to have foreheads and lips that actually MOVE while the moment women hit 28 or so they're supposed to become increasingly mannequin-like. Often too you see these frozen old-lady-dolls playing great characters and their weird, weird faces just makes me dislike them no matter what. AIBU to be creeped out by it? Should I just accept that this is the way the world is now?

I was fascinated by Denise Van Outen in Eastenders recently. Her top lip looked very odd. It didn't move at all.

It looks damaged her lip i mean very odd

I think people like Susan Saradon and Helen Mirren either get very subtle changes or have had a face lift at a younger age.

I think Dench and Mirren have both had stuff done

Joan Collins is all natural. Not a filler, scalpel or needle has touched her "just lucky with genetics" boat race.

Noooooo not Judi Dench!!!

Lots of pictures of both smiling with mobile lower face and static brow

Sylvester Stallone suffered nerve damage at birth and has partial facial paralysis as a result. Its not really fair to criticise him for his looks, IMO.

Has Michelle Pfiefer had anything done?
Last time I saw he she was pretty natural - she really is stunning with fabulous bone structure...

I've always admired her after she said she'd never do nude stuff because it might embarrass her kids.

No one's criticising the looks he was born with, he looked fine in Rocky and Rambo. But he's had extensive work done and just looks strange these days.

I think Emma Thompson looks fab and I don't think she has had any surgery. I think Kate Winslet has had some work done.

Jennifer saunders said on Tv ages ago she had a face lift she looks amazing i wonder why some look ok and some not so much i wonder if its the botox and fillers that make look odd

Stockard Channing looks completely bizarre in the Good wife now. I can't take my eyes off her. She almost doesn't look human.

Totally agree - she's actually one of the faces that prompted this thread. Her and Barbara Hershey. Totally uncanny-valley-ish

Some people get it spot on. I give you the beautiful 61 year old Christie Brinkley.

some don't.

Jessica Lange. 62

I love Jessica Lange as an actor, shame she felt the pressure to do that to herself.

Omg what has she done , christine obviously has a picture hidden in her loft somewhere

Ugh, Jessica Lange was so gorgeous in her youth too - just look at her in Tootsie. I don't get it, these women have money. So why not go to the best cosmetic surgeons out there?

We were watching TV the other day when a beauty products advert came on it was a range owned and promoted by Victoria Principle....(are many of you old enough to remember her in Dallas in the 1970's?)
Well DH and I both commented that she didn't look any different to how she looked when she was on the show nearly 40 years ago!

She did marry a plastic surgeon though.

They probably do but they'll all go to the same few plastic surgeons. Also there is only so much you can do. It's the human body and it's not like replacing eg a door panel on the car and having a respray. We age and change and the docs can't work miracles. neil diamond is looking 'young' in recent publicity shots. We'll see more and more of this as the next generation of actresses just regard surgery as normal, but hopefully don't use M.Rourke as a good example

I think it's all to do with your surgeon.

If you manage to find a good one with an artistic eye and a feather light touch, you'll look amazing. If on the other hand, you go to one who's just in it for the money (getting you in on a regular basis whether you need it or not, without an artistic eye) then you'll end up like Jessica.

I think Christie has probably had lots of laser work done (IPL, Fraxel, etc..) plus needling and a touch of botox and a blephroplasty. When her daughter had a nose job, Christie went in with her and I suspect she also had some work done because afterwards, she looked incredibly youthful and plump faced.

The duchess of Marlborough had her nose done, but the wax 'migrated'

It makes them look half cut. I'm never sure who's had obscene levels of work/a stroke/a skinful

I think Jessica Lange is gorgeous now, but not so much when she was younger (I haven't seen Tootsie, but I've seen lots of her other movies)
