Felicity Kendal - is it just me or

is she always pulling her face/mouth in an odd way when the camera is on her, as if she is hiding her teeth?

She looks as if she is pulling her top lip down to cover her teeth or something.

She swears he has never had surgery but I find her face very odd these days.

great figure and great energy- but sommut wrong with her smile?

there is something very strange about her face

and the selfconsciousness from a professional actress is a bit jarring, tbh

I wonder what it is..

LynetteScavo · 08/11/2010 18:09

She swears she has never had surgery? Grin

I saw her a couple of times in RL about 15 years ago, before she had surgery, and believe me, she's had surgery.

I thought long and hard before posting this as i really don't like being a Daily M "have a go at a celeb" but every time I see her, i cringe.
it is really as if she suddenly remembers she has bad teeth or something ( she hasn't) and makes very odd movements with her top lip, pulling her face into a non-smile.

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 08/11/2010 18:11

maybe she simmply cannot smile

purplepeony · 08/11/2010 18:12

She puts her youthful looks down to te "most expensive face creams" which is rubbish cos if they worked we would all look 21 forever. She does say she had Botox etc but i think she looks really odd nowadays.

How did he look before Lynette?

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 08/11/2010 18:12

her face doesn't look youthful to me

fabulous figure though

ShatnersBassoon · 08/11/2010 18:13

I know what you mean. Her skin seems to be stretching away from her orifices, as if there isn't enough skin to cover her entire face.

fartmeistergeneral · 08/11/2010 18:14

I thought it was just a kind of nervous tic, I find her face a bit odd (tho would kill for her figure and she's got 20+ years on me).

It's like Dustin Hoffman, he does this weird thing with his mouth too, like purses his lips all the time, very irritating - and it's definitely like a nervous habit.

c0rns1lk · 08/11/2010 18:14

her lips are weird
she gets on my tits - she's so up herself
she actually wrinkled her nose at that dancer the other week in a girly 'I can get men to do what I want' kind of way.

catinthehat2 · 08/11/2010 18:14

I see your Felicity Kendal top lip and raise you with <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=content8.flixster.com/photo/63/67/48/6367482_tml.jpg&imgrefurl=www.flixster.com/actor/zo-wanamaker&usg=__K1LpEWD9jZ783xZe8f4pQO2RBOE=&h=240&w=240&sz=10&hl=en&start=0&sig2=QZlZvAhDRaGwCFhksJvwBA&zoom=1&tbnid=7gOJoeIMTdPJfM:&tbnh=157&tbnw=162&ei=RT3YTMzqIY26hAfexaS7BQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dzoe%2Bwanamaker%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1659%26bih%3D816%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=530&oei=RT3YTMzqIY26hAfexaS7BQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=40&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:0&tx=101&ty=124" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zoe Wanamaker's

Normal people just don't go round doing that, it's bizarre. They both annoy me. But only Felicity Kendal glared at me when I was minding my own business walking outside a theatre where she was rehearsing. I have always resented her for that.

Here's a picture of FK looking like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.realbollywood.com/news/up_images/11118734.jpg&imgrefurl=www.realbollywood.com/news/2010/03/clever-women-beautiful-feels-felicity-kendal.html&usg=__YvlfUWOQlpIm-M1GatbXwTiRXms=&h=450&w=360&sz=59&hl=en&start=0&sig2=_gxcb7icRzdn9TX1dzcnzA&zoom=1&tbnid=MXSEiDcNL_SsBM:&tbnh=167&tbnw=130&ei=BD3YTO7eNYuIhQf7lvDOBQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfelicity%2Bkendal%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1659%26bih%3D816%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=171&oei=BD3YTO7eNYuIhQf7lvDOBQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=36&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=107&ty=96" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NAtalie Cassidy if you are interested.

fartmeistergeneral · 08/11/2010 18:15

Yes, she definitely has the face of a 64 year old woman without doubt. I do love her hair (for a woman of that age I mean) and her figure.

Bonsoir · 08/11/2010 18:15

Round about where I live I come across elderly women who had cosmetic surgery a long time ago. Seriously, shockingly dreadful look...

c0rns1lk · 08/11/2010 18:15

yes like her hair

catinthehat2 · 08/11/2010 18:15

Yes I do bear grudges, sometimes for decades.

fartmeistergeneral · 08/11/2010 18:16

Zoe is the oddest looking woman - to actually have no top lip.

fartmeistergeneral · 08/11/2010 18:17

And she has an extremely high opinion of herself which grates - as does Pamela Stephenson who quite clearly thinks of herself as FABULOUS darling.

purplepeony · 08/11/2010 18:17

I always thought she looked a bit like a frog when younger- angular face, big bulgy eyes and a wiiiiiiiiiiide skinny smile. But now......

Yes, but at least PS (whom I rather love) has a serious job as a shrink, and also is what DD2 would call Proper Sized.

FK's winsomeness makes me feel quite ill.

purplepeony · 08/11/2010 18:24

well my Dh was drooling over the size of her tits last night. (FK)

TheNextMrsDepp · 08/11/2010 18:26

Oh come on, most of us can only DREAM of looking that good at her age (or even now...Grin).

Nettee · 08/11/2010 18:27

She used to pull the same face on the Good Life. I think it is quite endearing

CarmelitaMiggs · 08/11/2010 18:34

FK is looking more and more like Princess Michael. Seriously, they're like twins or something. I wonder if they see the same guy. I think FK is fairly hot, though. And Princess Michael is not.

fayeso · 08/11/2010 18:44

Every time I see her I go running for my spf 30 face cream.............need I say more!

And yes I sort of feel she is hiding huge false teeth all the time.....

but she has got a lovely figure mind you.

Amanderrr · 08/11/2010 19:01

I remember reading an article that said a sure sign that someone has had botox or work done on their face is that they look rabbit like when they smile.

Did a quick Google search and it comes up with a DM article about 'bunny lines' which FK definitely has.

I actually think she looks amazing for her age and I don't care if someone injects stuff into their face or has a full blown Joan Rivers relationship with a surgeon as long as they're honest about it and don't say it's due to "Good bone structure. Every female in my family is blessed with it".

If someone looks fab for their age then I want a step by step guide to how I can look just as good. Stop trying to convince us that it's all down to a smattering of Nivea. Yes, I do mean you Joan Collins.

Helium · 08/11/2010 19:21

I find it embarrassing that she attempts the whole flirtation thing. Never thought she was particularly attractive (though could see why others may disagree) and think that hanging on to the sex symbal status and trying to be demure all the time is boring and demeaning.
