Celebrities Who Have Aged Gracefully And Flawlessly
Jennifer Lopez
When Jennifer Lopez took to the stage at the half-time performance at the 2020 Super Bowl, people couldn’t believe what they were seeing. How can someone in their 50s look that good and sing and dance with so much energy? Well, as it appears, sheer luck cannot be attributed for how amazing Lopez looks now.
Lopez looks ageless because of hard work — exercise, skincare, and a healthy diet. The actress works out 3 to 4 times a week, with trainers David Kirsch and Tracy Anderson (it depends whether she’s in New York or Los Angeles). And with regards to skincare, she swears by regular use of products containing glycolic acid.
Cindy Crawford
The word ‘beautiful’ might as well have a new synonym – Cindy Crawford. The model and actress (remember her in Fair Game and According to Jim?) is almost a half a century old but somehow manages to look better than most people half her age.
Looking at her today, it’s no wonder why she is the leading choice for brand endorsements. Cindy, with that trademark mole above her lip, says that she feels happier, younger and healthier now in her 50s. Her skin care philosophy revolves around protecting her skin in the day time, and restoring it at night.
Angela Bassett
How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Green Lantern and Black Pantherare just some of the movies that seasoned actress Angela Bassett is known for, besides her ageless looks! The 62-year-old looks like she is half her age, and confidently carries off a bikini like no one else.
Angela spills the beans as she says that 85% of the work is done by following a good diet enriched with healthy fats. She is known to work up quite a sweat at the gym and also has a nifty trick to stick to her regime – by making gym buddies who motivate each other.
Sam Elliott
As long as he has been popular in Hollywood, women have been shrieking for Sam Elliott. Whether he’s playing the lovable guy (Lifeguard) or the guy you can’t trust (Road House), fans just can’t help but adore this terrific actor. For a long time, Elliott had been type casted in Western-themed shows and movies because of his deep voice, Western drawl and that healthy mustache!
Now in his 70s, Elliott definitely is aging gracefully, he doesn’t seem to need prescription eyeglasses or hair transplant, as his hair looks extra thick. When he’s not acting, he spends his time with his wife, actress Katharine Ross, in their huge ranch in California.
Bridget Fonda
Looks like everyone in the Fonda family is blessed with the “good-looking” gene, as proved by actress Jane Fonda (9 to 5, Monster-in-Law) and her talented niece, actress Bridget Fonda. Bridget is known for her roles in many blockbusters from the 90s such as Single White Female, Jackie Brown, Lake Placid and The Godfather III.
Bridget has been acting since she was 5, and by the time the 90s ended, she had herself a huge body of movies, working non-stop and in a very short period of time. Her later movies and TV career did not get her many accolades and eventually she quit showbiz to concentrate on her family life. Whenever we spot this beautiful actress these days, we wish for her comeback soon!
Emmylou Harris
Emmylou Harris is considered one of the music industry’s most revered voices in country music. Although the singer-songwriter’s career started 50 years ago, her musical career is still very much thriving. Some of her greatest hit songs are Beneath Still Waters, Wayfaring Stranger, Two More Bottles of Wine, and If I Could Only Win Your Love.
Harris’ big break came when she became a member of Gram Parsons’s band, the Fallen Angels. Later, the duo would record an album entitled Grievous Angel. Just like her voice that remained beautiful through her 50-year career, Harris has aged gracefully. In fact, no one would believe that the singer-songwriter is now in her 70s.
Denise Richards
When actress Denise Richards starred in Wild Things, she started out being a hot vixen. With time, Denise graduated to a girl-next-door looks and eventually turned into supermom. While other stars swear by costly spa treatments Denise never even had a facial before.
Then actress has great skin and maintains her amazing complexion by sticking to her regular skin-care treatments, exercising and eating lots of vegetables and fruits. She also uses a lot of oils, like olive and avocado, to soothe her dry skin.
Neve Campbell
Party of Five, The Craft and Scream franchise star Neve Campbell pretty much had the world in the palm of her hands by the time she was in her late 20s. But, after starring in Scream 5, she left Hollywood and moved to London to live anonymously.
The Canadian actress felt overwhelmed with all the success, and we quite understand! Now that Neve is officially back and has starred in the 2018 movie Skyscraper, we are left in awe of how pretty she looks. It has been ages since we last saw her, but nothing has dulled her beauty in all those years.
Marcia Cross
Actress Marcia Cross became a household name after she was cast as the perfect wife, Bree Van de Kamp on the TV show, Desperate Housewives. But she has been acting since the 1990s on television, and finds her name in the credits of plenty of popular shows.

Tom Brokaw
In 2021, NBC Newsman Tom Brokaw announced that he was hanging up his microphone for the last time, as he was retiring after spending 55 years with NBC News. He is the only one to have anchored 3 of their signature shows NBC Nightly News, Today and Meet the Press.

Traci appeared in television shows like Gilmore Girls, Will & Grace, and MacGyver, besides starring in low-budget movies. But she did manage to bag the movies Blade starring Wesley Snipes and Cry-Baby starring Johnny Depp. She still acts today.
Amy Locane
What a life actress Amy Locane has had! She was once a rising star thanks to her roles in movies and TV shows opposite A-listers such as Cry-Baby, Melrose Place, School Ties and Going All the Way. While professionally, Locane was killing it, her alcoholism was getting to her.
In 2010, she caused a drunk driving accident which killed a lady, and she was sentenced to prison in 2013 for 3 years. Upon her release, her husband filed for divorce and took custody of their 2 daughters. Amy is still doing the rounds of courts as she was re-sentenced, and looks frazzled and unhappy, as is natural.
Hyapatia Lee
Beginning her career being an exotic dancer, Hyapatia Lee has graced many theatre and club stages before she won a risqué photograph contest, twice. That is how she got her start in these risqué movies and became the only Native American in her time, to do so!
However, Lee also tried her hand at having a musical career and has a string of albums and singles under her name, which she released in the 80s and 90s. She has also written columns in magazines and had written her autobiography. She retired in 1993.

Some of his biggest hits include ‘Red Roses for a Blue Lady’ and ‘Daddy Don’t You Walk So Fast’. Having a baby face worked in Wayne’s favor for many decades, and he did try to preserve his youthful looks with a little help of plastic surgery. His skin does look very taut, doesn’t it!
Charlie Brooks
Charlie Brooks is a British actress who is best known for portraying the character of Janine Butcher in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. She achieved great fame and recognition since her debut performance on the show which got her more projects.

Martine McCutcheon
British actress and singer Martine McCutcheon is perhaps best known for playing the role of Tiffany Mitchell in the long running soap opera, EastEnders. She would appear in the show for 3 seasons before her character was killed off, and she then launched a music career.
In fact, her debut single ‘Perfect Moment’ ranked number 1 at the UK charts and other countries! However, despite this kind of success, Martine filed for bankruptcy in 2013. You might also remember her playing a small but important role in the movie Love Actually.
Elizabeth Berkley
After airing her teenage angst as Jessie Spano in the hit TV show, Saved By the Bell, actress Elizabeth Berkley was all set to make it big in Hollywood. However, starring in a 1995 skin flick called Showgirls, completely tanked her career.
She kept trying to get more roles, such as in Armitage III and The First Wives Club, but nothing came out of it. She then became an internet Agony Aunt, and made her TV comeback with The L Wordand CSI: Miami.
Mindy Cohn
Playing the sweet and ever-smiling dimpled Natalie Green in the 80’s sitcom The Facts of Life for almost a decade got actress Mindy Cohn instant TV fame. All the while, she kept making guest appearances on other shows such as Charles in Charge and 21 Jump Street.
Mindy would eventually side track into voice acting as she grew up, since she could not replicate the success she had achieved as a child performer in television. She took over as the voice of ‘Velma’ in the cartoon Scooby Doo since the 2000’s. She also went back to school.
Tina Yothers
The TV show Family Ties ran for 6 seasons in the 1980s before being cancelled, and young actress Tina Yothers played the role of 9-year-old Jennifer on it. However, unlike her co-stars, she is no longer acting as she quit show business in the 90s.
Tina is now almost 50, has a few acting credits to her name, but has largely remained out of the limelight. In the 2000’s she was seen in a few reality TV shows such as The Weakest Link and Celebrity Fit Club, but she’s content just looking after her family.
Kellie Shanygne Williams
The 90s sitcom Family Matters certainly deserved more credit for being a great show, and child performer Kellie Shanygne Williams played the role of Laura Winslow on it. She starred on the for 9 years, and after it ended, she only got a handful of acting offers.
Thankfully, Kellie grew up to be a well-adjusted young lady, unlike many of her peers who began acting young. She still acts in movies and takes a lot of pride in giving back to her community by designing a fine arts program for the youth and the masses.
Elizabeth Berkley
Elizabeth Berkley is an actress who achieved teen cult status when she was cast as 17-year-old Jessie Spano in the teen drama Saved By the Bell. Things were looking bright for her until she was cast in the infamous 1995 skin flick that bombed at the box office – Showgirls.
That movie single-handedly torpedoed her career before it really began and she was basically shunned by Hollywood. She was then involved in a lawsuit with Leo DiCaprio, and later, participated on the reality show Dancing with the Stars. We last saw her at the Saved By the Bell reunion.
Mamie Van Doren
The 1950s were a more conservative time, but the three M’s – Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren, were breaking this image across the nation! Mamie, like Mansfield and Monroe, got into acting and was known for her steamy appearance and clothes.
Among her works, you find movies such as Untamed Youth, Teacher’s Pet and Born Reckless. While the actress did not find many great movie roles from the 70s onwards, she kept entertaining her fans with nightclub acts, TV appearances and a scintillating memoir!
Phoebe Cates
You are most likely familiar with who Phoebe Cates if you are part of the Generation X. The actress was all over the television and movie screens in the 80s, with her most prominent roles being in Paradise, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Gremlins 1 & 2. Part of Cates’ appeal was her fresh face and cute smile. Those characteristics never changed, even when the actress is already 56 years old.
Cates is already retired and spends her time managing her New York-based boutique, Blue Tree, so she doesn’t really need to maintain her Hollywood-worthy appearance. Nevertheless, Cates has retained her youthful look, probably because of her unique mixture of ancestry – Russian, Jewish, Chinese, and Filipino.
Ali MacGraw
Ali MacGraw’s appeal is one of a kind, and that is exactly what made her a big international sensation in the 70s. By starring in only three films, the actress was once named one of the highest grossing actress in the world, thanks to success of her movie, Love Story.
The movie remains to be MacGraw’s greatest hit, as the critics hailed it as one of the best romantic movies of all time. Aside from her movies, MacGraw is also famous for her fashion style and beauty. Now in her 80s, she continues to dress in style, with her beauty still untouched by plastic surgery.
David Charvet
As a newly cast member of the much watched TV show in the ‘90s, Baywatch, French actor David Charvet was sure to be a hit with the ladies. The good looking actor also modeled, sand and acted in the 1995 Baywatch movie.
However, David seems to have retired from acting now and focuses more on building homes in LA. He says he left acting as he wanted to focus on his family, and showbiz was just too time consuming. He is happy running a residential contracting company now.
Loretta Swit
Playing Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan on the TV show M*A*S*H sure made actress Loretta Swit the poster girl of American beauty. Now that Swit is well into her 80s, she’s in a perfect position to dole out tried-and-tested beauty advice that has worked for her.
Even with people accusing her of getting plastic surgery, Loretta said that protecting one’s skin is very important. She also keeps looking and feeling young by doing exercises every day, talking supplements, avoiding smoking and drinking and staying busy with a passion, which in her case, is theatre.
Angie Dickinson
Angie Dickinson was to the 50s, what Winona Ryder and Drew Barrymore were to the 90s. Many had a crush on this beauty who hailed from Kulm, North Dakota. It was during her stint in the Miss America contest that a Hollywood casting agent noticed Dickinson, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The actress’ breakthrough roles were in Western-themed movies that starred big ‘Western’ actors. Dickinson starred alongside James Arness in Gun the Man Down, and John Wayne in Rio Bravo. After making more than 50 movies, Dickinson turned her sights to television, and she’s best remembered today for portraying Sergeant Leann ‘Pepper’ Anderson in the NBC crime series Police Woman.
Alison Sweeney
The NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives made Alison Sweeney a household name, as she became famous for playing the character of Sami Brady on it. She then hosted the reality game show The Biggest Loser for 8 seasons before leaving in 2015.
Sweeney, now 44, seems to be blessed with great genes, as she hasn’t aged much at all from her Days of Our Lives time. These days, Alison has joined the Hallmark bandwagon and appears in many of their shows and made for TV movies, as they are less demanding of her time.
Shaun Cassidy
He’s an singer, actor, and producer who has excelled in all his roles. Shaun Cassidy was only in high school when he was signed on by Warner Bros. Records to produce various music albums. This also led him to be signed on for television roles.

Tatyana Ali

Tatyana, who is now 41, isn’t just blessed with good looks, but she’s smart too. She graduated from Harvard University and was picked to be Barak Obama’s spokesperson for his 2008 presidential campaign. Ali also modelled for the brand Beats by Dr. Dre.
Dermot Mulroney
Dermot Mulroney captivated the heart of audiences when he played Michael O’Neal alongside two of America’s Sweethearts, Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, in the 1997 film My Best Friend’s Wedding. More than 20 years later and Mulroney still has the boy-next-door appeal, even when he’s already in his late 50s.
Some of the other movies the actor is famous for are Young Guns, Point of No Return, Angels in the Outfield, About Schmidt, and The Wedding Date. The actor is still very much active in Hollywood today, and he can be seen the USA series The Purge.
Barbara Mandrell
Barbara was the eldest of her sisters, who would eventually form the musical group, the Mandrell Sisters, make some chart topping country music, but then just fell off the radar. She released her first album in 1971, and the following years were her best.
In 1997, the ‘I Don’t Want to be Right’ crooner announced that she would not be recording and performing any music, but she continued acting until 2000. The reason for her retirement was that she wanted to spend more time with her family and she has hardly made any public appearances since then.
Judd Nelson
Judd Nelson is a former teen idol and member of Hollywood’s Brat Pack, who starred in the hit teen movies Sixteen Candles, The Outsiders and Pretty in Pink. Although we don’t hear much of Judd these days, he is still acting.

Anthony Michael Hall
Anthony Michael Hall’s golden ticket to Hollywood was when he was cast as Rusty Griswold in the 1983 movie National Lampoon’s Vacation. He would become a small part of Hollywood’s brat pack for a bit, but his acting career didn’t grow that much.
He starred in The Breakfast Club and Edward Scissorhands, but as an adult, his drinking problem sunk his acting career. He got into trouble with the law a couple of times, and fell out of favor with his show biz contacts until they stopped calling completely.
Molly Ringwald
Actress Molly Ringwald has enjoyed a long and fruitful career in the public eye and in the 1980s, she was a member of the much sought-after member of Hollywood’s ‘Brat Pack.’ Her biggest shows back then were Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club.

Ally Sheedy
The Breakfast Club star Ally Sheedy played the role of the basket case Allison Reynolds on the show and became an overnight success and cemented her name in Hollywood’s Brat Pack. She did drop out of Hollywood for some time, as she said she couldn’t find work.
On the cusp of 60 now, Ally still acts, but work has slowed down for her. However, she finds fulfilment outside show business, as she volunteers her time teaching film and theatre to NYC’s public schoolkids. She also keeps busy with her family.
Emilio Estevez
An esteemed member of the ‘Brat Pack’ Emilio Esteves gave us a string of hits in the 80s and 90s. He was seen in Mighty Ducks, and Young Guns, but has since almost disappeared from the lime light, while his father and brother, Martin and Charlie Sheen continued to act.
While most Hollywood stars are happy taking up work on the small screen, Emilio refuses to do television and missed out on many projects. He is fine working behind the scenes now, being a producer and director and does not want to be a celebrity.
Kristy McNichol
Other Hollywood actors and actresses struggle for many years to achieve fame and success, sometimes catching that elusive break when they’re already in their 30s and 40s. Others, such as Kristy McNichol, are lucky to find success at a young age. She’s famous for the TV series Family and the coming of age movie, Little Darlings.
The actress was one of the biggest teen idols of the 70s, receiving an unprecedented six-figure salary for the movie The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. After retiring from acting in 2001, McNichol found a career teaching acting in a private school in Los Angeles, but still looks very much like her old self.
Tara Morice
Tara Morice is an Aussie actress who made her stage debut at 16, starring in a production of The Diary of Anne Frank. She has since worked with various national and international treater groups such as the Ensemble and Sydney Theatre Company.

Robby Benson
If you were growing up in the ‘70s, then there’s a good chance that a Robby Benson’s poster hung on your wall. He acted in the movies One on One and Ice Castles, which sealed his fate as a teen star. He would also voice the prince in 1991’s Beauty and the Beast.
Robby would go on to do more voice acting roles thereafter and recently ended an 8-year acting hiatus after acting in the Hallmark movie, A Feeling of Home. His love of acting led Benson to become a film professor at UCLA, Indiana University and NYU.

Kirsty Gallacher
Before she became a presenter on Sky Sports News, she was working behind the camera as a production assistant. However, it was clear to see that British presenter and model Kirsty Gallacher had great knowledge of the sports world and a vibrant personality that looked good on TV.
Kirsty was soon hosting special events and interviews, and also bagged her own show, Kirsty’s Home Videos. You must have also seen her shimmy on Strictly Come Dancing, besides many other reality and television shows. She really is everywhere!
Keith Thibodeaux
It has been 6 decades since child performer Keith Thibodeaux won the hearts of millions of Americans as Little Ricky in Lucille Ball’s show, I Love Lucy. He has now become one of the last surviving cast members from the show.
Keith actually began appearing on TV at the age of 4, as a drummer! He was then cast in the I Love Lucy, The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour and The Andy Griffith Show. He eventually ditched acting and joined his professional ballet dancer wife as the director of Ballet Magnificat!
Shelley Hack
From 1976 to 1981, a bunch of starlets kicked up a storm on our TV screens by starring in the original Charlie’s Angels television show. One such pretty face was that of model turned actress Shelley Hack, who would replace actress Kate Jackson after she left the show in its third season.
Hack, who played the role of Tiffany Welles, only starred in one season and went on to act on The Love Boat and L.A. Law. She has not appeared in anything recently, but is co-president of the production company Smash Media, alongside her husband. So Hack never left the entertainment industry, after all!
Erika Eleniak
Bagging a role in one of the most watched TV shows around the world, Baywatch, was the biggest career booster for actress Erika Eleniak. The pretty blonde was stunning on that show in her red swimsuit and soon became a poster-girl for her hot images.
But before her Baywatch days, Erika was child performer having acted in E.T., and The Beverly Hillbillies. She would eventually leave showbiz to settle with her family in Calgary, Canada and has stayed out of the spotlight. Now that she’s on social media, we love to see her flawless selfies and her ageless looks.

Heather Matarazzo
Actress Heather Matarazzo played the role of Lilly Moscovitz in the movies The Princess Diaries and became everybody’s BFF. But this wasn’t her first movie, as she has been acting since she was a child. However, she had been MIA for a while.
Heather said that she had taken a short sabbatical to work for charities, and began writing, producing and directing indie movies. Recently, she has been spotted at a couple of public events, and sadly, tweeted that her acting career wasn’t really going anywhere.
Samantha Fox
Former English glamor model, singer, and actress Samantha Fox is perhaps best known for two things: posing topless and her timeless hit ‘Touch Me,’ which reached the number 1 spot in 17 countries back in the day! While Fox’s long blond hair has stayed the same, her weight often fluctuated.
Fox finally got around to hitting the gym with a vengeance and a qualified personal trainer, moved around more during her stage performances and adopted a more nutrient-rich diet. This led to a rapid weight loss that made the singer look and feel much younger than her actual age.
Greta Scacchi
Italian-Australian actress Greta Scacchi has been acting in the movie industry for 4 decades now. Some of her best known movies and TV shows have been Emma, White Mischief, Heat and Dust and Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny.

Susan Tully

Jenny Jones
Canadian-American talk show host Jenny Jones, was quite the busy bee between 1991 to 2003 when she was the face of her own talk show, The Jenny Jones Show. But before she made it big with her TV career, she was a struggling musician and stand-up comic.
That’s right! Jenny started her career as a rock band drummer, and performed stand-up comedy, even winning the reality talent show, Star Search in 1986. She’s now quite the celeb chef, and has websites and YouTube channels showing off her cooking skills.
Sharon Gless
Sharon Gless was ruling television in the 80s, as one-half of the female crime fighting duo, playing the role of Sgt. Christine Cagney in the TV show Cagney & Lacey. The show helped break down stereotypes around female cops and set the stage for other police dramas on TV which came later.
Gless later starred in TV’s Switch and the 2018 show Casualty. She is now in her 70s, but she is not ready to quit her job and retire. Her talents also shone on stage and she starred in several theater productions and she is associated with Los Angeles Student Film Institute as an advisory board member.
Olivia Hussey
As a young 16-year-old ‘Juliet,’ debutant actress Olivia Hussey must have found the overnight fame and Hollywood’s gaze on her quite intimidating, but she fit right in. The pretty Argentinian-British actress was cast as the titular character in Franco Zeffirelli’s 1966 movie Romeo and Juliet, and it remains her most famous role to date.
Olivia would go on to have more acting and voice acting parts in video games, but could not recreate the magic of her first role. Even as she is semi-retired now, Hussey, who is 68 years old, can make a comeback to movies whenever she wants. After all, talents don’t just fade away with age!
Shelley Fabares
After bagging the sit sitcom The Donna Reed Show as a child artist, actress Shelley Fabares was on her way to silver screen stardom, starring alongside THE Elvis Presley in 3 movies such as Clambake. In the late 80s, she bagged a meaty role in the shows Coach and One Day at a Time.
Right around then, Shelley suffered major rib fractures at her under-construction home and this would only open up Pandora’s box for her as she suffered many health issues in the years that followed. These days, while acting projects are far and few, Shelley is a producer, who has produced the SAG Awards for 7 years!
Susan Boyle
When Susan Boyle started singing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables on the third season of Britain’s Got Talent, everyone was shocked with her voice. Although she only placed second in the finals, her appearance on the how opened many opportunities for her musical career. Boyle said she was absolutely astounded by the audience’s reaction to her ‘looks’ on the show – which were pretty negative in nature.
She even told The Sunday Times that how she looked like didn’t really matter because BGT is a singing contest not a beauty contest. Nevertheless, Boyle made an effort to change her appearance and lose weight, since she’s now a musical star. The singer’s hair looks different today, and she now wears makeup, including eye shadow and mascara.
Denise Austin
Fitness guru Denise Austin may be in her 60s today, but she can definitely pass for a 40-year-old. She does not need to thank cosmetic surgery for that, only the healthy lifestyle she lives. Austin gained prominence during the late 80s and early 90s for her workout videos. She’s someone every women listened to in those times, since she is an expert on fitness.
Julia Roberts
The movie Pretty Woman was the perfect breakout movie for Julia Roberts, because she personifies the title of the movie. Roberts truly personifies the ’50s as the new 40s’ slogan for women, because she is aging flawlessly. Some Hollywood actresses her age may have sought the help of cosmetic surgery, but not Roberts.
Her face looks the same as when she appeared in Pretty Woman, except her eyebrows are less thick, and there are visible smile lines from her constant donning of her million-dollar smile. Perhaps Roberts’ anti-aging secret is simply laughing and smiling all the time.
Rachel Ward
Before Rachel Ward became an actress, she worked as a model and appeared on the covers in some of the most popular magazines in the world, such as Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Harper’s & Queen. She gained attention quickly when she transitioned into acting, getting nominated for the Golden Globe New Star of the Year for the movie Sharky’s Machine.
However, her breakout role is considered to be in the TV miniseries The Thorn Birds, where she played Meggie Cleary. She starred alongside Richard Chamberlain in this famous miniseries. The actress, once voted as one world’s 10 most beautiful women, prefers to always look natural, usually wearing nothing but lip-gloss and mascara.
Marlo Thomas
One would assume that a seasoned actress such as Marlo Thomas, who has spent a lifetime on TV, would be more concerned about her look as she ages, but the 82 year old, does not give a hoot! The award-winning actress is best known for her roles in the sitcoms That Girl and Free to Be…You and Me, and was more recently seen in Friends, Frasier and Ballers.
While people say that Marlo has gotten plastic surgery to alter her looks, Marlo just simply doesn’t care. She says that she is at that age that she doesn’t listen to anyone, anymore! What keeps her looking fit and youthful even today? Marlo says she gets facials, uses oil to moistuzise, and advices other women to not obsess over growing older, too.
Nicole Kidman
Joining the ranks of many Hollywood A-listers who are aging like fine wine, is actress Nicole Kidman, who, against all odds is already in her 50s. The Australian actress, known for her movies The Hours, Moulin Rouge and Rabbit Hole, may be a mum-of-four, but she’s still giving the younger actresses a run for their money!
The secret to her glow? Having fun while aging gracefully. Nicole attributes the use of sunscreen and hydration as the key to avoiding skin damage, and it seems to be working wonders for her. Her younger avatar loved perms, harsh hair color and big hair, but the actress now flaunts a more natural look.
Sade
The 80s were a wild time in British history and Sade (real name Helen Adu) was on the rise. She started out as a fashion designer, while moonlighting as a model but she gained wild recognition as a singer and performer when she founded her band Pride. Some of her hits include ‘Smooth Operator’ and ‘Your Love Is King.’
Unlike any of her contemporaries, Sade did not want to bask in her fame, and chose to keep a low profile. She appeared in public from time to time, usually when she dropped a new album, but would then disappear and lay low. One thing is for sure that every time we see her, we are certain that time cannot dull her beauty and poise.
Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer has come a long way since she starred in Friends. The actress was trying to establish a name in Hollywood when she was cast as Rachel Green in Friends. It was the role of a lifetime, and her popularity once grew once the show ended.
Today, she’s one of the most sought after stars, not to mentioned she’s amongst the richest actresses in Hollywood. She’s also one of those who is proving that the 50s are the new 30s for women. Aniston is aging gracefully, probably because she drinks a lot water every day, plus she follows a diet composed mainly of greens.
Lisa Bonet
Even as a teenager, Lisa Bonet appeared on The Cosby Show as the lovable Denise Huxtable and later, in A Different World, and we realized she hardly ever wore make up, but still looked gorgeous with flawless skin. That trait is something that has followed the actress even today, as she crosses over the 50-threshold and is a mom to 3.
With just a little mascara and eyeliner, Lisa is still able to turn heads on the red carpet, and she recently spilled the secret to her beauty regime. Apart from a few trusted skincare products, Bonet uses coconut oil for her body and hair, follows a clean diet and dances to keep fit. A beauty tip that she wants to share with young girls… “never over-tweeze your eyebrows!”
Demi Moore
It’s hard to believe that Demi Moore is just a few years away from turning 60. The actress screen debut was in the movie Choices, then shortly after she was cast in the soap opera General Hospital. Armed with a beautiful face and the so-called ‘X Factor,’ Moore became a member of Hollywood’s 80s Brat Pack, and appeared in the movies featuring other members of the group, such as Blame it on Rio, St. Elmo’s Fire, and About Last Night.
Moore’s career peaked during the 90s — it was the decade her movie Ghost, became the top grossing film of 1990, and she became movie history’s highest paid actress with the salary she got for Striptease ( ~ $12.5 million).
Alanis Morissette
Canadian singer Alanis Morissette took the music world by storm when she release her album Jagged Little Pill in 1995. The explicit lyrics of her song You Oughta Know captured the attention of the public, which gave focus to other songs in the album. Jagged Little Pill sold 33 million copies globally, making it the second top selling female album of all time.
The singer gained a few pounds since she first gaining prominence, but that’s just about it for major change in appearance for Morissette. She may be glowing due to the fact that she’s enjoying married life and motherhood. She married rapper Mario ‘Souleye’ Treadway in 2010 and they now have three children together, with the youngest one born in 2019.
Tom Cruise
“Does he ever age?” is a common question when we look at Tom Cruise. More than physical appearance, people are shocked by the actor’s capability to perform death-defying stunts in his movies. Cruise rarely uses a stuntman in his movies, and he even flies helicopters and planes by himself. The actor, now in his 50s, is one of the biggest stars on the planet. He achieved popularity after appearing in the movies Risky Business and Top Gun.
He’s one of the few Hollywood stars who have been a consistent box office draw throughout his career that now spans almost 4 decades. And there’s no stopping Cruise, he’s set to star in the sixth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise and he’s made a promise that action will be more explosive than before!
Debbie Harry
If you are wondering what made Debbie Harry a music sensation in the 70s and 80s, the answer is really quite obvious. Harry possessed the perfect combination of her big beautiful voice and smoldering beauty.
Harry, considered by many as the ‘queen of new wave and the darling of punk rock’, still looks beautiful and hip even in her 70s. She’s the rocker version of actress Michelle Pfeiffer (they look so much alike). Harry and her band Blondie popularized the songs Call Me, Heart of Glass, and The Tide Is High.
Salma Hayek
Remember when Salma Hayek played a vampire in the movie From Dusk Till Dawn? Well, the actress may well be a real-life vampire because she doesn’t seem to age at all! But no, cosmetic surgery is not her secret, although she can definitely afford several procedures (her husband is a billionaire)!
Her secret seems to be just good Latin genes. Hayek seems to not age at all since she first graced the television screen with the telenovela Teresa. In fact, she appears to grow more beautiful as she ages!
Stockard Channing
Looking absolutely different from her days playing Betty Rizzo in the iconic musical movie Grease, is actress Stockard Channing who is in her 70s now. Grease, starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John may have released 40 years ago, but Channing feels like that was just yesterday, and that she is the “world’s oldest teen!”
With her recent TV appearance as a guest on the British talk show, Lorraine, fans of the actress noticed a marked change in her looks. Over the years, Stockard started looking very different from what she used to. Plastic surgery experts reportedly said that she went overboard with her lip and cheek fillers, probably used Botox, and even had a mini facelift, but she could barely talk on that show!
Jill St. John
Today, Jill St. John is recognized as the wife of actor Robert Wagner. Yet, even before she met Wagner, St. John had a thriving acting career, to her credit. In fact, she started acting at age 6. The actress holds the record for being the first American Bond Girl, appearing as Tiffany Case, being cast opposite Sean Connery in the movie Diamonds are Forever.
St. John, later in her career, focused her attention to cooking. She appeared in the cooking segments of Good Morning America and even published her own cookbook, The Jill St. John Cookbook, in 1987.
Cote De Pablo
Cote De Pablo made quite an impression to fans of NCIS that they couldn’t take it when she left the show in 2013. Fans of the show anticipated her return, and in 2019, they got what they hoped for when the actress appeared in the season 16 finale episode. Looking at De Pablo’s face, it seemed like she did not leave the show at all, since her face didn’t seem to age.
What is with these gorgeous Latin women? They all seem to age slowly and flawlessly. De Pablo is from Chile, born and raised in Santiago until she was 10, when her family moved to Miami, Florida.
Elin Nordegren
We all were team-Elin when it was revealed in 2009 that her famous husband, professional Golfer Tiger Woods, was a serial cheater, and she walked out on the marriage and divorced him. The mom-of-three then moved on in life, putting aside her broken marriage and still looks so stunning!
Elin doesn’t really talk to the press, so we can’t say what her beauty secret is. But, considering that she used to be a model before she married Woods, we think she may have some skincare hacks that only models know. Elin is Swedish, and aging gracefully may just be in her genes.
Barbi Benton
Much like her name, singer, model and actress Barbi Benton looked very much like an innocent doll, even as she appeared in risqué poses in Hugh Hefner’s magazine PB. Once known for dating Hefner, Benton then went on to retire from the spotlight after becoming a mom in the late 1980s.
The Hee Haw star still looks as gorgeous as she did when she wore her bunny years all those years ago. While many of Barbi’s contemporaries in their 70s may have resorted to plastic surgery, she has not admitted to going under the knife. Either way, she doesn’t look her age all at!
Lauren Tewes
What would a cruise ship be without entertainment? That’s probably why Lauren Tewes, the actress who played the role of lovable and bubbly cruise director Julie McCoy on the TV show The Love Boat, became one of the show’s most central characters. Some other shows she has been on are Hunter, T.J. Hooker and Murder, She Wrote.
In the 90s, Tewes went back to live in Seattle and focussed on theatre. She also attended culinary school, became a cheese specialist and now works with a catering company. We’re sure that her clients easily recognize her as Julie, as she still sports her signature bright smile.
Nicollette Sheridan
For Nicollette Sheridan, acting may be the best career to enter, as both her mother and stepfather were actors. Her mother was small-time actress Dani Sheridan, while her stepfather for a time was the great Telly Savalas. Sheridan is prominent for appearing in the television series Paper Dolls, Knots Landing, and Desperate Housewives.
When prodded about her secret for aging flawlessly, Sheridan might reply that it’s by using a natural anti-aging moisturizer made by Biolumière Organics. The actress founded the company that manufactures the moisturizer, which is BPA, toxic, and cruelty free.
Nancy Allen
Aspiring to become a dancer in her younger days, Nancy Allen moved to Los Angeles and veered towards acting. Her biggest break came when he was offered the movie Carrie, and followed it up with Dressed to Kill, RoboCop and Poltergeist III. Nancy, now 70, is now an activist and no longer an actress.
Retirement seems to be doing wonders for Allen, as she quit show business in 2008 and concentrated on her work as the head of Los Angeles’s weSPARK Cancer Support Center. The organization was founded by her friend actress Wendie Jo Sperber before she died of breast cancer. Nancy is content in her post-Hollywood life and the happiness shows on her face.
Maureen McCormick
In a classic twist of fate and history repeating itself, yet another brilliant child actor’s career was ruined by drugs and addiction. Actress and singer Maureen McCormick was around 25 years old when her show The Brady Bunch ended and by then, was heavily into cocaine and quaaludes, while also suffering from depression and bulimia.
After several stints in rehab and even seeking experimental treatments, McCormick was able to get her life back on track. Even in her 60s, Maureen, who played the character of young Marcia Brady in the TV show The Brady Bunch, still retains that innocence from her famous role.
Jaclyn Smith
Fans fondly call stars of the series Charlie’s Angels as ‘angels’. It was what Charlie called them in the series after all. The term is appropriate for the stars, such as Jaclyn Smith, because they seem to possess supernatural powers that slow down aging! If the 74-year-old actress sat alongside women in their 40s and 50s, one would think that they are all in the same age groups.
That’s how good Smith still looks in her 70s, possibly because of a secret beauty regimen, a regular trip to the spa, or just the case of good genes being passed on to her by her parents. The glamorous actress is kept busy today with her fashion line Jaclyn Smith, distributed in Kmart and Sears.
Elisabeth Shue
Elisabeth Shue’s girl-next-door beauty has not changed at all, even when she’s a few years shy of 60 today. The actress was very popular in the 80s, appearing in some of the most famous movies of the decade, such as The Karate Kid, Back to the Future II and Back to the Future III, and Cocktail. In 1995, Shue proved she’s more than a pretty face, when she starred opposite Nicolas Cage in the movie Leaving Las Vegas.
She played a female escort named Sera in the movie, a role that earned her Best Actress nominations from the Academy, Golden Globe, and BAFTA. Nevertheless, she won awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics.
Gina Gershon
There may be something in the cocktails used in the movie Cocktail that slows down aging, because four of the stars in the movie are on this list! Gina Gershon is another actress who looks the same as she did back when she was starting her Hollywood career in the 90s.
Aside from Cocktail, the other movies she’s famous for is Showgirls, Bound, Face/Off, The Insider, P.S. I Love You, andHouse of Versace. The 57-year-old still possesses a flawless complexion, perhaps even better than when she was in her 20s.
Barbara Eden
When young Barbara Eden played the role of a 2000-year-old genie in the TV show I Dream of Jeannie, she didn’t show her age back then, but even as the actress is now 88, she still doesn’t look her age! She knew magic on screen, but she may be a magician in real life too, because she hasn’t aged much in a decade!
Of course, because of this same reason, people started accusing her of undergoing secret plastic surgery. Still, the actress is still looking as fabulous as ever, even donning her old genie costume on stage, showing everyone that she’s still got it. But, she did admit that aging makes her a little sad.
Victoria Principal
Victoria Principal’s career peak was in the 80s, when she starred as Pamela Barnes Ewing on the soap opera Dallas. The show ended more than 20 years ago, and yet Principal has remained gorgeous as ever. Her secret weapon is her flawless skin, attributed to her love for skincare since she was 8 years old.
The actress’ constant search for the best skincare ingredients led her to start Principal Secret, her own skincare brand. Aside from having glowing skin, the actress has also maintained her enviable figure. She’s almost 70 but her figure is that of a 20 or 30-year-old!
Sissy Spacek
Well in her 70s now, actress Sissy Spacek, who we know and love from movies such as Carrie, Coal Miner’s Daughter and The Old Man & the Gun, has done great many things for her roles, but she refuses to do one thing; give up acting jobs and consider retirement.
Although there were a few plastic surgery rumors in the air regarding Sissy’s looks, she never addresses them. Instead, the veteran actress says that this has been the best time of her life, even though aging can be a bummer. She loves the respect she gets now, so it’s worth the wrinkles or the occasional back pain!
Donna Mills
Donna Mills may have a sweet-looking face, but don’t let that fool you, because the actress is a very effective villain on screen. She has proof of that too, with three Soap Opera Digest Award trophies for Outstanding Villainess for her role as Abby Cunningham in Knots Landing.
Tatum O’Neal
Tatum O’Neal has a “first” to her name, as she was the youngest actress to win an Oscar at age 10 for the movie Paper Moon, starring opposite her now-estranged father, actor Ryan O’Neal. We all expected the Little Darlings star to make huge waves in Hollywood, but sadly, her drug addiction issues almost forced her to hang her boots up.
After a troubled childhood and broken home led her to abuse substances and then her drugs-related arrests, Tatum decided to become sober and received treatment from a drug rehab facility. Now, living a cleaner, healthier life, Tatum looks as gorgeous as ever, even as she struggles with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Keshia Knight
In 2017, actress Keshia Knight walked into court hand-in-hand with her disgraced former on-screen father from The Bill Cosby Show,Mr. Bill Cosby himself. Back then, she played the character of Rudy Huxtable as a child performer and this made us wonder where she was all these years, but in fact, she never left!
Knight was right under our noses and was acting in TV’s A Different World when she was young. She took a sabbatical from acting and got her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and was back with Tyler Perry’s House of Pain and a guest role in Orange is the New Black.
Christy Turlington
If you look at these photo of Supermodel Christy Turlington, you’d think that in the first one she had a good night’s sleep, while the second one she appeared to have had just a rough night. The photos don’t appear to have been taken two decades apart! There’s no question why Turlington achieved success in the modeling world during the 90s, she’s just an extraordinary beauty.
Just like when she was younger, Turlington tries to keep it natural, using as little makeup us possible. Some of Turlington’s beauty secrets include a healthy diet, using face oils at night, and using light powder only when she needs it.
Kate Jackson
Kate Jackson is another timeless beauty who is in her 70s but doesn’t look it at all. She’s an original member of 80s TV show Charlie’s Angels, along with Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith. What is it with these Charlie’s Angels gals? They seem to all have an anti-aging secret they won’t share to the world!
Aside from the hit 80s TV show, Jackson also star in Scarecrow and Mrs. King, a series that ran for 4 seasons. Although she still appears on television today, Jackson is kept busy finishing her memoirs that has a scheduled release date before 2021.
Heather Thomas
Heather Thomas is one actress who you feel you’ve seen somewhere but can’t remember from which show or movie. Well, one of her biggest roles has been in the show The Fall Guy, where she starred as Jody Banks. But sadly, during the show’s run, she became addicted to drugs.
Thomas, who is also known for her role in the movie Zapped!, would eventually enter rehab and things seemed to be fine for a while. She had a devastating car accident and later decided to quit acting in 1998. Since then, she has become an activist, occasional screenwriter, and is a published author with her 2008 book ‘Trophies.’
Claudia Schiffer
Claudia Schiffer is one of the most successful models of all time, gaining prominence in the 90s. One of the things people noticed about the model is that she looked so much like French actress Brigitte Bardot. Currently, the model holds a Guinness Book of World Records for being the model with the most magazine covers.
Although basically retired, Schiffer still looks she can give the likes of Kendall Jenner a run for her money. One of her beauty secrets is massaging her face for a long time every time she applies moisturizer.
Eve Plumb
Actress Eve Plump became famous in her teens as she was cast in the role of Jan Brady, the second oldest daughter in the famous ‘70s sitcom, The Brady Bunch. She then starred in many Brady spin offs, and in the shows Fudge and Little Women.
Now, Plumb is married, with three kids, and is still acting! She acts in plays and guest stars in TV shows, and you must have caught her on Blue Bloods and Law & Order: SVU. When not acting, she’s painting and even displays her work all over the country.
Kate Bush
Even as English singer-songwriter Kate Bush never tried becoming a star, she was meant to become one. She was more than happy creating music and giving all the promotional events a miss, but this Grammy-winning queen of art pop finally managed to become the recluse she wanted to be.
With hits like ‘Wuthering Heights,’ ‘Running Up That Hill’ and ‘King of the Mountain,’ Kate still finds her music on people’s playlists, even after all these years. After many decades of not performing live, her 2014 concert was such a hit, that tickets were sold out in just 15 minutes!
Monica Bellucci
With killer good looks and a charming personality to boot, Italian actress and model Monica Bellucci still has lively and young looks. Thankfully, the actress is open to sharing her beauty secrets with us. The actress from The Matrix Reloaded, Bram Stoker’s Dracula and The Passion of the Christ takes cold showers.
Cold showers and moisturizer is the best way to maintain skin elasticity, says Monica. As she ages, she prefers to dial back on makeup and likes to look more “natural.” She also works out by doing kickboxing, swimming and yoga while also following a portion controlled diet.
Loni Anderson
She may not be appearing in any TV show or be signing any movies, but WKRP in Cincinnati actress Loni Anderson still has to keep up with her appearances as she is very much still a red carpet darling! At 75, the Baby Daddy and So Notorious star’s fans wonder what she looks like now.
Here’s a big hint – she’s still a stunner! Talking about aging, Loni says she is a grandma, just like many of the women her age, but she would love to break the traditional stereotypes associated with grandmothers. They can still turn heads, just like Ms. Anderson!
Linda Kozlowski
“To each her own”, goes a famous English idiom. It literally means, each person is entitled to his or her own preference. Other celebrities prefer nature to takes its course when it comes to aging, while others seek the help of cosmetic surgery to make them look youthful. Apparently, the latter is the choice of actress Linda Kozlowski.
She is most famous for appearing in the movie Crocodile Dundee, and being Paul Hogan’s better half (he played Crocodile ‘Mick’ Dundee in the movie), whom she met on the set of the Crocodile Dundee movie. Aside from going under the knife, the actress also undergoes regular cryogenic therapy sessions to keep her looking young.
Linda Lusardi
Those who grew up in the 70s and 80s would probably have a poster of British glamor model and actress Linda Lusardi in their rooms, as she was one of the hottest pin-up models of her time. She is now in her 60s, but it seems that time stopped for only her, as she proved by dressing up the same skimpy sequined silver bikini that she first wore 31 years ago!
Linda was doing some house cleaning in her attic when she found her old bikini, and wore it. As unfair as it may be, she still maintains a killer figure, beautiful hair and lovely skin. She says that she feels even better after her recent weight loss, just by reducing portion sizes from her daily diet.
Richard Dean Anderson
In the 1980s, actor Richard Dean Anderson was cast to play Angus MacGyver in the TV show MacGyver, and the show became hugely popular at the time. Before bagging the show, he worked on General Hospital, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
Post MacGyver, Richard went on to star in a slew of movies and TV shows spawning from the Stargate franchise. More recently, he has acted in Raising Hope, Fairly Legal and Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23. He has also been actively working with environmental organizations, but sadly, is not seen on TV that much.
Teri Hatcher
Actress Teri Hatcher was Louis Lane in the 90s TV show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, much before she became a hit with her younger fans because of her role as Susan Mayer in the show Desperate Housewives. Teri, all of 55 now, still looks as pretty as ever.
There have been plenty of people who have said that the actress has had a face lift and other cosmetic surgeries to preserve her youthful look, but Teri has rubbished these claims. Instead, she posted a few photos of herself without make up, bearing wrinkles and all, to prove that she has never been under the scalpel. Teri says that she is comfortable in her natural skin.
Tia Carrere
Wayne’s World, General Hospital, True Lies and Curb Your Enthusiasm are shows and movies which have a huge fan following and have one thing in common, they all star actress Tia Carrere in them. The Hawaiian actress, singer and former model, was accidentally discovered by a local producer’s family member at a grocery store and they decided to cast the teenager in her first movie!
Strongly representing Asian-American women in a racist Hollywood in the 90s was a tough task, but Tia’s talents made sure she always had work. The Grammy winner, now in her 50s, looks just as good as she did 30 years ago. She famously once said that beauty lasts only 5 minutes, but longer if they have a good plastic surgeon. Dropping subtle hints, Tia?
Philip Michael Thomas
Philip Michael Thomas was cast as detective Rico Tubbs in television’s Miami Vice, and little did he know that it would become a defining role in his career. After the show ended, this 80s heartthrob found some success starring in TV movies and shows.
The Psychic Reader’s Network even signed him on as their spokesperson, and he tried his hand at starting a singing career, but in 2006, Philip decided to hang up his boots for good. He recently resurfaced in an unrecognizable get up with a long scraggy beard and grey hair.
Bonnie Aarons
Before she was scaring the living daylights out of us and giving us nightmares in the horror movies The Conjuring 2 and The Nun, actress Bonnie Aarons was entertaining us in some family friendlier movies such as The Princess Diaries, The Princess Diaries 2 and Mulholland Drive.
When she was a young acting student in New York, Bonnie was told that she would never get any acting parts due to her nose and the way she looks. We are so glad that she never fell prey to changing herself because of criticism, and her natural beauty still shines through.
Valerie Bertinelli
Actress Valerie Bertinelli was once known for being the ex-wife of Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen, and for her role in the TV shows One Day at a Time, Touched by An Angel and Hot in Cleveland. She then made a seamless transition into the world of cooking and has written cook books and also hosts the show Valerie’s Home Cooking.
Linda Thompson
Former actress, beauty pageant winner and songwriter Linda Thomson has been snapped in the newspapers for many years now, as she once dated Elvis (she was also her bodyguard!) and was also once married to Olympian Bruce Jenner and music producer David Foster.
Some of the artists’ songs she has written are Barbra Streisand’s ‘All I Know of Love’ and Josh Groban’s ‘You’re Still You.’ She has also played the role of Hee Haw Honey on the variety show, Hee Haw.
Caroline Munro
Well behaved girls rarely make history, and British model and actress Caroline Munro is proof of this. She’s an original scream queen, whose career has lasted more than 5 decades and she still continues to make horror movies, although not that often.
Caroline was certainly gorgeous and showed off a lot of skin in her skimpy costumes on screen back then. The 71-year-old is best known for her horror and science fiction movies, but has also kicked some behind in action films, like in the James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me.
Sally Field
Is there any award that actress Sally Field hasn’t won already? The SAG, Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning actress has been acting on TV and in movies since the 1950s and some of her memorable movies and TV shows include Lincoln, Brothers & Sisters, Smokey and the Bandit and Forrest Gump.
Sally, the ever-youthful actress, had to convince Lincoln director Steven Spielberg to cast her as Mary Todd Lincoln as she looked younger than her co-star, who is in fact younger than her in real life! Her secret to amazing skin includes using sunscreen and moisturizing twice a day.
Matthew Labyorteaux
As fans of the TV series Little House on the Prairie, we are well acquainted with the cast of the show, especially all the Ingalls, on whom the show was based. One of the most popular Ingalls siblings was Albert who was played by actor Matthew Labyorteaux.
Matthew starred on the show as a child performer and by the time it ended, he was a teen. He later acted in Wes Craven’s Deadly Friendly and still takes up bit roles these days, but is primarily a voice actor now. He has more than 60 voice acting credits under his belt now.
Nicole Eggert
Nicole Eggert has been in the entertainment industry for many years now, as she started competing in beauty pageants since she was 5. As she got older, she was cast in Charles in Charge, Boy Meets World, and Celebrity Fit Club, but her biggest break on TV was Baywatch.
Nicole has been open about her struggles with her weight and not feeling confident about her body, although, we think she looks lovely at whatever weight! She attributed her weight gain to her father’s death and finding comfort in junk food.
Petula Clark
With a career that has spanned 80 years, British singer, composer and actress Petula Clark is a living legend and an establishment, all in herself. She would begin her career as a 7-year-old and by the time she turned 17, had already appeared on film, radio, TV, recording and in print!
The ‘Little Shoemaker’ and ‘Downtown’ singer also sang in French, Spanish, Italian and German, and toured all over the world with her music. Naturally, musicals, both on stage and the movies were a natural progression and Petula gained success there, too. Now 88, she is still acting on stage and singing, and is as beautiful as ever.
Cheryl Ladd
Did you know that Cheryl Ladd almost didn’t become part of the original TV series Charlie’s Angels? It was the show that turned her into a big star, but Ladd first turned down the offer to star in it. The reason is understandable, as Farrah Fawcett left the show to become a big movie star, and she left a void that Ladd felt she couldn’t fill. But since producer Aaron Spelling really wanted Ladd, they came up with a great solution.
Instead of replacing Fawcett on the show, she was cast as a new character, rookie Kris, who’s the baby sister of Fawcett’s character, Jill. And the rest, as they say, is history. The face many Charlie’s Angels fans have come to love has remained the same, as gorgeous as ever, even though Ladd is a few years shy of 70.
Brigitte Bardot
In the 60s, French actress and fashion icon Brigitte Bardot walked into everyone’s heart with her perfectly tousled hair and her trademark smile that lit up the whole room. But she actually began her career in the 50s, when she started modeling at 15.
She acted in her first French movie, 1952’s Le Trou Normand and the next year, she was touring to promote her first Hollywood movie, Act of Love and later, her breakthrough movie And God Created Woman. She retired in 1975 and moved to St. Tropez, after which she became an animal activist. Now 85, Bardot keeps a low profile and looks as graceful as ever.
Tina Majorino
Before she store our hearts as Enola from the 1995 movie Waterworld, 35-year-old actress Tina Majorino had starred in huge movies such as Corrina, Corrina, When a Man Loves a Woman and Andre. She actually began her career at the tender age of 7, acting in TV’s Camp Wilder in 1992.
After collecting a huge fan following as a child actress, Tina took a hiatus and returned at 18 to play the role of Deb from the cult classic flick, Napoleon Dynamite. She played a few recurring roles like on Veronica Mars, Bones, True Blood, and Grey’s Anatomythereafter and is open to more diverse roles these days.
Patty Smyth
Even before Patty Smyth met and married legendary tennis player John McEnroe, she was a big name in the music industry. The singer-songwriter saw her career peaking with her music videos being aired on cable TV in the early 90s. Who can forget her hit single ‘Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough’?
Patty began her career as a part of the group Scandal, but the internal strife within the band members led to their break up and she embarked on a successful solo career. Patty continued making music but eventually slowed down with time. She has come far from her ‘wild child’ days that she was known for, and now looks very poised and elegant with her newfound dressing style.
Nancy Sinatra
Even as a child, Nancy Sinatra already showed interest in art, and she has had many years of training in voice, piano, dramatic arts, and dance. She was bound to enter the world of her famous father, Frank Sinatra, which is show business. But unlike her father, Nancy is famous today for just one song, which is These Boots Are Made for Walkin’. We all know her famous crooner father has several popular songs, not to mention the movies he starred in.
Nonetheless, even if Nancy is best remembered for the song These Boots Are Made for Walkin, she released singles that became hits in the 60s, such as the duet of Somethin’ Stupid with her father. Nancy attempted a musical comeback in the 90s and still continues to do musical projects even though she is in her 70s.
Tom Selleck
Did you know that the handsome and dashing actor, Tom Selleck, turned down the role of a lifetime because he was committed to his television series, Magnum P.I.? The movie was Raiders of the Lost Ark, which sealed Harrison Ford’s status as an international star.
It may seem to be a bad decision, but turning it down meant continuing to play the role of private detective Thomas Magnum. The show is considered one of the best detective series of all time, and to the audiences around the world, he’s the one and only Thomas Magnum.
Jennifer Grey
Ms. Grey was once the reigning queen on Hollywood, with her early movies Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Dirty Dancing and Reckless were declared huge hits. However, after she was involved in an accident, along with then-boyfriend Matthew Broderick, she decided to quit acting.
Grey would also undergo a nose job that left her unrecognizable, and her acting offers dried up. However, Jennifer would return to the small and big screen soon enough, and was also competed in the 2010 cycle of Dancing with the Stars.
Joyce DeWitt
Best known for her role as Janet Wood in the 70s TV sitcom Three’s Company, actress Joyce DeWitt had all the makings of a star, but after the show ended, so did the actress’s luck in the entertainment industry. After Three’s Company, she only acted in one other show, before quitting acting for several years.
Fabio
If you were a fan of those insanely popular romance novels that were published in the 1980s and 90s, then there is a good chance that the poster boy of that era, Fabio, has been on the covers of at least half of those books. And guess what? He still looks that handsome even today!
The long-haired Italian-American stud, started out as a model in Italy, then moved to New York to try his luck, and quickly became the face for many brands like Gap, Nintendo, and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Fabio, now 61, has turned entrepreneur with his clothing line, fitness videos and books, and a nutritional supplements company.
Raquel Welch
Raquel Welch is an age-defying beauty whose anti-aging secrets many would like to know. Her figure looks like that of a 20-year-old, and her skin looks as luminous as it was back when audiences first saw her in One Million Years B.C. (that was in 1966!). Although her wrinkles are more pronounced now, as she nears the 80 mark, her face can still pass as that of a 50-year-old!
When asked about her beauty secret, the glamorous beauty shared she uses a brand of ointment used by cattle farmers called The Big Balm. This particular ointment apparently contains amazing moisturizing and repairing properties!
Lucy Lawless
When people see actress Lucy Lawless, they won’t probably say “It’s Lucy!”, but rather, “It’s Xena!” The actress from New Zealand is best known for playing the lead in Xena: Warrior Princess. Furthermore, fans are familiar with the actress in costume, since most of the roles she’s portrayed are either set in the future or the ancient past.
Lawless is now in her 50s, but looking at her you’d think she’s only in her 30s. Her secret? Lawless believes what you put inside your body is more important than what you put on it. Most of the food her family eats comes from the produce in their own garden. Lawless also admits to drinking very little alcohol, not smoking, and doing yoga.
Jolene Blalock
Television audiences are used to seeing Jolene Blalock with short hair and pointy ears, since the actress is famous for playing T’Pol in Star Trek: Enterprise, a Vulcan first officer and Science officer.
Blalock was once quoted saying she’s glad she was able to transition from modeling to acting, since being a model required her to be constantly on some sort of diet. Now in her 40s, the actress is rarely spotted on screen, even though she still has a face that the camera loves.
Pauley Perrette
After watching actress Pauley Perrette play Abby Sciuto on TV’s NCIS for 15 long seasons, fans were surprised when she quit the show in 2019. Reportedly, it was because fellow NCIS co-star Mark Harmon physically assaulted her. But following her departure, we saw more of Pauley without the trademark goth make up on.
It’s surprising that the actress, who is 51, looks many years younger, and is in great shape too. Her secret is baby oil that she slathers on after washing her skin with drugstore face soap and she avoids the sun, as it can speed up ageing.
Fairuza Balk
Fairuza Balk managed to scare many movie goers when she played the witch in The Craft. But they might have forgotten her as a child actress who played Dorothy in Disney’s 1985 film, Return to Oz. Her role as Nancy Downs in The Craft made quite an impression, since Balk was typecast for ‘dark and gothic roles’ in the movies she starred in.
Not much has changed with the actress since then, even though she’s already in her 40s. She probably regularly visits the spa to get a massage therapy to get rid of the stresses a busy Hollywood career brings.
Sally Struthers
Two-time Emmy Award-winning actress Sally Struthers has played many roles on TV over the years, but the newer generation would remember her as Babette from the show Gilmore Girls, and as the voice of the cartoon characters from the animated TV shows TaleSpin and Dinosaurs.
But, many years before this, she played the role of Gloria Stivic in the TV sitcom All in the Family, which made her an instant audience favorite. She may now be in her 70s, but with that amazing skin and complexion, she can look many years younger on any of today’s TV shows!
Melissa Sue Anderson
American-Canadian actress Melissa Sue was only 11 when she landed her biggest role in the TV show Little House on the Prairie. This role made the pretty actress such a huge star that she was getting hand-written marriage proposals in her fan mail, when others her age were just developing their first crushes!
Before her career-making show, Melissa was acting in commercials and guesting on shows like The Brady Bunch and Bewitched. But after leaving Little House… the actress could not recreate the magic of the popular show and stuck to guest appearances on TV shows and playing small parts in movies.
Justine Bateman
Justine Bateman is a beloved actress whose career started in the 80s. Her most memorable role was in the TV sitcom Family Ties, where she played Mallory Keaton, the superficial sister of Michael J. Fox’s character, Alex. Some of her other most famous works are in the television shows Satisfaction, Men Behaving Badly, The TV Set, Desperate Housewives, and Californication.
Charo
When Charo first appeared on television because of Johnny Carson’s show, the renowned talent agent Norman Brokaw wanted to sign her. Brokaw was the one who made Marilyn Monroe a star. However, the agent had one condition – she couldn’t use just one stage name, that being Charo, and she needed a surname, too.
The singer insisted and she won, hence she’s now recognized as Charo, actress, singer and Las Vegas star. Charo has retained her hair color and hairstyle over the years, as well as her colorful fashion sense, even now when she’s almost in her 70s.
Jami Gertz
Most us know actress Jami Gertz from the 80s, when she starred in The Lost Boys, Less Than Zero, Square Pegs and Quicksilver. But she actually started acting as a child on Diff’rent Strokes after being discovered in a talent search, so she has practically grown up in front of the camera.
In her grown up avatar, we saw her on TV’s Still Standing, playing Judy Miller, and more recently in The Neighbors, where she looked as beautiful as she did in her youth. Guess some people really are ageless! Did you know that she and her husband, Tony, own NBA’s Atlanta Hawks?
Holly Madison
Holly Madison is a TV personality and actress who has appeared in the reality TV show The Girls Next Door, Holly’s World, and Dancing With the Stars. It is safe to say that being one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends made her famous, and she used this to her advantage when she wrote her two books, which were well received.
Holly is in her early 40s now, but looks a lot like her younger self, when she had just become a “bunny”. She says that as she grows older, she touches up per roots once a week now, and has to take her skincare routine more seriously. She follows a 7-step nightly routine to keep wrinkles at bay.
Linda Kaye Henning
With a beautiful singing voice and being a talented actor and dancer, Linda Kaye Henning ‘s earliest acting breaks happened on stage and musical plays. She was able to make it to Hollywood eventually and her earliest screen appearances were in the movies Rebel Without a Cause and Gidget. However, she is most famous for the CBS series Petticoat Junction wherein she played the role of Betty Jo Bradley.
Out of all the cast members in that show, only three stayed throughout the show’s entire run on television, and Henning was one of those actors. In Petticoat Junction, Henning’s character married actor Mike Minor’s character, in real-life too, this on-screen couple got married, but sadly the couple got divorced in 1973.
Connie Stevens
The beauty of Connie Stevens didn’t just enthrall movie and TV audiences, but also one of the most famous personalities in the world, Elvis Presley. Yes, even Stevens couldn’t believe it when she was told the King of Rock n Roll was on the phone asking for her.
But Presley indeed called her to ask her out, and the two briefly dated. Stevens’ most famous part was Cricket Blake in the television series Hawaiian Eye. The actress may be in her 80s, but she doesn’t look like she needs senior care any time soon.
Shannon Tweed
Although Shannon Tweed is most famous for her appearances in risqué films and such magazines, she did appear in other acting genres. She has guest-starred in Falcon Crest, Married… with Children, and Days of our Lives. The actress found a career in show business, after joining a few beauty pageants, including Miss Ottawa and Miss Canada.
She did so to support her family after her father fell into a coma brought on by an accident. Tweed married Kiss rocker and singer Gene Simmons in 1983, then later on appeared with him and their children in the reality show, Gene Simmons Family Jewel.
Laura San Giacomo
While the movie Pretty Woman turned actress Julia Roberts into an overnight Hollywood sensation, it also made actress Laura San Giacomo a familiar face to movie goers. To this day, she’s best known for playing Vivenne’s (Julia Roberts’ character) best friend and roommate.
Seeing Giacomo today, you wouldn’t believe she’s almost in her 60s. Her hair color has remained the same, no gray hairs at all — but this can be attributed to a regular trip to the hair salon. Regardless, the actress, whose most recent screen appearances was in several episodes of NCIS, can still pass for someone in her 40s.
Sherilyn Fenn
After bagging an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination each for her role as Audrey Horne in the TV show Twin Peaks, one assumed that actress Sherilyn Fenn would go on to have a super-successful career on TV. Sadly, in the late 90’s Fenn got very picky with her roles and when she attempted to make a comeback later, she was stuck with just guest roles.
Nevertheless, with her never-say-die attitude, the actress took on projects such as Friends, Darkness Falls, Rude Awakening and Gilmore Girls. The 55-year-old still appears in bit roles, goes on signing tours and is generally kept busy with her husband and two sons. Hard to believe that this wild child once dated the likes of Prince and Johnny Depp!
Kirstie Alley
Kirstie Alley stuck gold in the 80s and 90s on TV and in movies with her roles in Cheers, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Look Who’s Talking and It Takes Two. Even back then Alley was lively, bold and brash, and after some time, she just wasn’t getting offered many meaty roles.
Her latest shows, Scream Queen, Kirstie, and Veronica’s Closetwere all eventually cancelled as they received a lukewarm response from the audiences. She may not be taking too many Hollywood jobs, but she has not retired, as yet. Instead, she was focusing her energy on her health and losing weight and look how stunning she looks!
Natasha Henstridge
When the movie Species came out in 1995, debutant Canadian actress and model Natasha Henstridge had everyone glued to their screens, as they were equally horrified and in love with her leading character of Sil. She then appeared in two more Species movies (Part II and III) and also starred in The Whole Nine Yards, Eli Stone, Would Be Kings and Ghosts of Mars.
Although she does not star in as many acting projects these days, she does take good care of her health and body. She has been open about her weight struggles in the past as her metabolism was ruined by taking diet pills and following fad diets. Having a healthier diet, embracing her curves and working out through boot camps and mountain biking keeps her glowing and fit.
Kirsten Vangsness
Fans of Criminal Minds will instantly recognize Kirsten Vangsness, especially when she styles her hair like her character Penelope Garcia and wears similar glasses that were used on the show. Besides playing the part of the tech genius of Quantico’s elite team of FBI agents, you may not know that Vangsness also wrote screenplays for some of the show’s episodes.
Through the years, you may have noticed something that haschanged in Vangsness, which is her weight. We don’t know if she planned to lose weight, but she reportedly shed around 35 lbs. The actress tweeted that her secret was listening to a free podcast of Renee Stephens, a nutrition and fitness expert.
Lesley Anne Down
If there’s one English actress we could think of who is aging flawlessly and gracefully, it would be Lesley Anne Down. The actress keeps on looking better as she ages! Down gained prominence when she appeared in the ITV drama series Upstairs, Downstairs. She has appeared in movies like The Pink Panther Strikes Again, A Little Night Music, Nomads, and Ladykillers, but she found more success on television.
Aside from Upstairs, Downstairs, she also appeared in the miniseries North and South, a role that garnered her a Golden Globe Award nomination, and of course the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, where she played Jackie Marone.
Kelly Lynch
Kelly Lynch counts herself lucky, career-wise, even if she did not really ‘peak’ as a Hollywood actress. The reason behind the thought were the two amazing actors, Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze, who she worked with on two of her first feature films. Lynch worked as a model before switching over to acting.
The actress is also one of those who chose family over career — she turned down the lead part in Basic Instinct to raise her daughter. The role of Catherine Tramell in the movie made Sharon Stone a big Hollywood star. Don’t let her looks fool you, Lynch may look like a 40-year-old, but she’s already in her 60s. The secret may be because she walks her dog regularly and picks up trash in the process.
Joan Van Ark
Knots Landing – that’s what comes to mind when people hear the name of Joan Van Ark and when they look at her today. But the famous soap opera is not the only acting job under her belt. Van Ark has also appeared in the TV shows Dallas, The Young and the Restless, Tournament of Roses Parade, and in several stage plays including Barefoot in the Park on Broadway.
Now in her 70s, Van Ark seems to want to battle aging, apparently resorting to cosmetic surgery enhancements. Doesn’t matter what age she’s at right now, the actress has retained her iconic blonde locks and beautiful blue eyes.
Bo Derek
It’s been 40 years since the movie 10 was shown in cinemas, but Bo Derek remained a ’10’, even in her 60s. She starred in the 1979 romantic comedy alongside Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews. When it comes to her secret for looking younger than her true age, it may simply be her genes, since the actress claims her skin is very much sun-damaged for being a surfer.
She makes it a point today to always use sunscreen when she goes out and she also regularly applies moisturizer. Derek claims her skin is like dessert earth for being parched (dry).
