Justine Bateman couldn't wait to look "old"

And how does she explain those lips??

Uhm why does she have that blur filter on her lens? I saw her like a decade ago at the Sunset/Sta Monica Whole Foods and she looked...ancient. Maybe all the reflective surfaces and camera lenses in her life are smeared with vaseline.

A very underrated actress though. Surprised Jason got all the latter day breaks. She was always better than given credit for, even back then.

(And, as discussed elsewhere, did you know she got all the way down to the end for a big role in "Steel Magnolias"? The Daryl Hannah part. She auditioned every time wearing a big blonde wig too).

This is much closer to what she actually looks like:

Holy fucking shit! She is clearly TRYING to look old and ugly. What gives?

Is she doing the Frances McDormand thing? I'm a natural aging granola and happy about it (but I just can't let go of my black eyeliner.) How does her brother look so much better? They have the same genes and can't be that far apart in age.

She's 60, that's what a natural 60 year old looks like....deal.

Not the 60 year olds I know. With or without makeup. She looks shitty, even for 60.

She looks like an aged Fiona Apple. She's 60?!

She is 53.

How is she 60? She can't be 60.

She looks 60.

She must have spent years out in the sun. Is she a smoker?

She looked OK in 2016.

She looks okay in some pics, not in others. She has thin-face.

"I'm a computer scientist!"

Let’s focus on her brother instead.

She looks like PJ Harvey

She looks like Melanie Scrofano.

The I’m an old soul and can’t wait to be an old lady schtick isn’t anything new. I remember Tracy Nelson (whatever happened to her?) saying the same thing years ago (when she was still actually young). I wonder if she feels that way as an actual old lady.

I always thought Tina was the hot one on the show in the last couple of years.

She's struggled with anorexia forever and remains whisper-thin. Literally starving yourself for decades will age you like nobody's business.

She's 60? No way. I thought she was closer to my age. How old was she with Family Ties? She looks fine in the youtube video, but ancient in r5. Like 70.

She is 52, she looks old for 52, she needs a little bit more weight in the face and she would look fine.

Jason does not look good for his age, he has not aged well either. He looked fine until like a year ago and then like shit.

I acted opposite Jason Bateman in something last year and, at one point, his microphone was being adjusted under his shirt. He had to lift it up and hold it while the sound guy got it all worked out, leaving me a nice long lingering look at his flat belly and nice (if small) backside, in pants of course. He is in incredibly good shape for his age and being so tall helps, apparently. I was impressed.

Last time I saw Justine act was in "The TV Set" with David Duchovny and she was great, even in a small role. Hope she gets the comeback she deserves someday.

Adorable.

Thanks for paying attention, R26! More, please!

He was an extremely nice guy too. The best kind of nice guy -- with a flat belly and long legs. And a nice little brown goodie trail leading down behind his zipper. I stared so much, it was probably obvious but, hey, it was there two feet away so why not?

Maverick.

Well, she got her wish.

She marches to the beat of her own drummer that is for sure.

In a nutshell: She's broke.

Steven aged the best of all of the cast.

r34, She's been married for like 15 years to an unattractive LA real estate tycoon. She ain't broke. But, if you're looking to purchase a $1.5-4.5 million dollar casita in Hidden Hills, I'll bet she's got a suggestion.

She’s one of the few people whose looks peaked at 16, when most people are still going thru their awkward phase, but then by the time most women are at their prettiest (say 25) she already had lost her looks. Even the later seasons of FT she wasn’t as pretty.

Even I look better than her, and I look butch now

"A friend of mine was at a "Family Ties" table read not long after Michael J. Fox became internationally famous -- when the show's writing turned from a Keaton family focus to a Michael J. Fox focus. The director was giving notes and Justine Bateman, sitting across the table from him, mouthed over and over again, "Fag-got. Fag-got. Fag-got.""

"I've posted here before about a male friend who had a long-term affair with Fox during Family Ties. my friend was definitely a top, but I don't know what they did besides stay up all night doing coke and drinking. It was definitely sexual (though it was based around drugs) and it went on for nearly a year. They never broke up, but my friend stopped going up to Fox's house frequently and it finally just withered away.

Fox was already both a TV and movie star at the time - my friend went with him to the "Family Ties" set a few times as "a friend" and said he heard Justine Bateman call Fox a "faggot" (actually, she mouthed it silently at Fox and my friend when they were sitting together: "fag-got, fag-got...")."

"I posted this a long time ago, but a friend of mine used to do coke and have sex with Michael J. Fox when Fox was still playing Alex Keaton.

Fox was this clean-cut, young eligible bachelor at the time, and my friend said Fox stayed up all night, chaining bottles of Molson and Export A cigarettes and doing coke, and then going back to work the next day like nothing happened. I remember the last part because shortly thereafter Fox was shooting one of the "Back to the Future" movies by night and "Family Ties" by day, and a magazine profile marveled at how he could work 7 days a week on 3 hours sleep.

Fox said that Meredith Baxter Birney didn't like him because she thought it should be "The Meredith Baxter Birney Show." Oh, and once when my friend visited him on the "Family Ties" set (to deliver coke, I imagine), he sat and chatted with Fox for a while near the set -- and said Justine Bateman sat across from them, mouthing the word "Fag-got, fag-got" at MJF.

He said it was a professional but not terribly friendly set - Meredith Birney was chilly to the rest of the cast, Justine Bateman was an outright bitch and Michael Gross was pleasant but clueless."

....on the benefit of the doubt side, maybe she thought Fox was cowardly for being closeted and wanted him to be honest? Did Justine ever comment publicly on Meredith Baxter-Lesbian's mid-life gaywakening?

[quote]The director was giving notes and Justine Bateman, sitting across the table from him, mouthed over and over again, "Fag-got. Fag-got. Fag-got.

It was just something to say. It's like when I say "Men are blinded by my beauty, they don't actually go blind. They get their sight back in a few days"

[quote]magazine profile marveled at how he could work 7 days a week on 3 hours sleep.

It could also have been because he was in his early 20s. I work with a lot of young people who work with me full time and go to college full time and it marvels to me that they can get by on 3 hours of sleep. Now they come back to visit and they are 30 and are all, "How did I stay up all night?" It's called being young.

As they say, "It's a shame youth is wasted on the young."

Was she considered talented in her day? I'm glad I'd never heard of her until now.

She's 52 now & aged terribly.

Turning a hobby into a business: In the early days of the internet, around 2000, Justine had a crudely designed website hawking her knitted goods.

In 1980s LA, she was on the go and everywhere. The press called her Just-seen Bateman.

LOL, that was when Just-Seen Bateman was dating Leif Garrett and going to every opening of an envelope. It wasn't a compliment. L.A. Weekly coined that nickname, I think (wasn't there a pretty prominent gossip columnist of sorts in that free rag?)

Bless her heart.

It seems like she's given up on the acting profession it's sad because she was a good actress.

It generally considered by most of Hollywood that she was robbed of an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for iconic work in the 1988 film, Satisfaction. This is probably due to the really shitty supporting no-talent actors in the film as evidenced in the trailer below.

Justine Bateman is 52. Her brother, Jason, is 49

OP, in your video she talks about being 44 years old. Since she's now 52, that video is 8 years old.

She's back!

Justin Theroux! Now, there's one who was supposed to be going on to great things but never really happened.

I just think she's tremendous.

Correction:

Grant college attendee.

No evidence she finished.

Alex was such a dick to Mallory.

Does Jason support her? She could've written her own ticket after that show.

Isn't her husband successful?

R58, he was. but most of the time his digs went right over her head figuratively, and his, literally.

Mallory had a teacher who called her out on her ditzy act and said she was smarter than she let on.

I watched her in this interview and thought she still looked pretty.
