Marisa Berenson - The Art of Ageing Gracefully

She looks great.

She also looks like she’s aiming to appear about 48.

Yeah with lots and lots of money which most people don't have. They have to worry about housing and medical bills.

Madonna could take a few pointers from Marisa. Especially in the dressing department.

R2 - Shut the fuck up and get a second job.

Is she a case of get a little done, starting early and going often? Because that's not a face without work but it's an excellent example of subtle work.

Reconsidering, it's just a good photo. It's an adequate example of reasonably subtle work. It's obviously done, it's just not a freak show outcome.

I'm sure Berenson has 3 jobs to afford all that plastic surgery and couture exactly like R2.

She's European.

She never adopted the Joan Van Ark sick need to be 75, blonde, and in a short tennis dress.

Yes, Marisa has some money socked away. Don't begrudge her.

The Art of Ageing Gracefully takes a huge bank account. Nobody begrudges her it but there's no merit to it either.

Marisha Berenshon ish one of my dearesht, closhesht friendsh. She'sh jusht shpectacular!

Sexy and stylish (not slutty and desperate.)

Take note. Madonna!

Her sister Berry Berenson died on 9/11, in the first plane that hit the WTC.

The trick is to carry no extra weight. Then as you age your face reveals the skull underneath. So attractive

She’s classy, always has been. What would one expect of Elsa Schiaparelli’s granddaughter and Gogo Schiaparelli’s daughter? Well, I guess there was Berry…she was a bit butch, but still had “something,” in her own way. I know everyone here knows this inside and out but the tragedy of losing your sister on a 9/11 plane must be intense. I would be haunted by those last minutes my sibling experienced. Here is Marisa with her only child, Star.

As you get older, it pays to dress more conservatively and to not chase trends. Invest in better fabrics and designer pieces. And only wear silhouettes that flatter you.

Michelle Pfeiffer said that the sim should be to look good for your age, not not look your age. That’s when all the problems start. You start looking like a science project.

People don’t realize that not only do we lose the fat in our faces but our skulls begin breaking down, making our eyes look sunken in. You can’t fix that. They then pump you full of filler to make up for the bone loss and you end up looking freakish.

She has some Italian in her, so that helps. Their oily skin helps with the aging process.

oh come on. that skin is tight! one more face lift and she'll have a beard. when she crosses her legs, her mouth pops open.

When she was good she was very good.

Oh hi!

She was gorgeous! It must've been amazing to be a hot sexy bitch in the 70s.

She does look really good

Keep it natural, bitches!

Good genes + good taste + intelligence + luck + financial resources = living well and aging gracefully.

R25, wow.

I wonder how the HOLIDAY reviews were.

Marisa had the It Factor.

Yes, she has money, but so does Nicole Kidman, and she looks like a freak.

That's a really good wig

True r30, money isn't everything. Madonna has more money than all of them and she looks like some kind of science fiction creature.

R14, it can work if you have exquisite bone structure.

Berenson is a very lucky woman. She's not a celestial being. She's not a super hero. Everything that she could want or need was handed to her. Being born into great privilege doesn't make you worthy of worship and praise. The way some of you plant your tongues on some woman's ass for being born rich or marrying into wealth (or both) is so stupid and disgusting.

Someone as luck as her should age gracefully. Why wouldn't they? They don't have to struggle, like average people. They can afford the best of everything, including medical care and cosmetic surgery.

Before the Oh Dear asshole shows up:

Someone as lucky as she should age gracefully. Why wouldn't they? They don't have to struggle, like average people. They can afford the best of everything, including medical care and cosmetic surgery.

I believe she did actually have some surgery If I remember reading an interview correctly. She was in a car crash at some point and required some sort of reconstructive surgery. But aside from that she gives every indication of being above the surgery none sense. She’s in the same vein as Audrey Hepburn and grace kelly- I can’t see either of them caving into cosmetic surgery to look like a freak.

She looks a bit like Carole Radziwill

Flat nose, wide mouth, lank hair and dental veneers at R11.

[quote] She's European. She never adopted the Joan Van Ark sick need to be 75, blonde, and in a short tennis dress.

Oh stop. It’s nothing to do with being “European”.

Elderly American Susan Sarandon looks great, with subtle work.

Elderly European Donatella Versace looks like a handbag.

[quote] What would one expect of Elsa Schiaparelli’s granddaughter

Who was Elsa Schiaparelli? She was always in the second rank of clothes-makers, wasn't she?

I looked at this page for two seconds and found grotesquerie.

Look at her image in OP R36. She’s had a facelift and is fully injected. There is not a line on her face and you could shave on her jawline.

What is noticeable is that her work is very good.

OP must be a Brit. In the US, we drop the “e” from aging.

R35, and yet tons of stars age badly anyway. Tons of money isn't always a great thing - sometimes people go overboard on the plastic surgery

[quote] yet tons of stars

Yes, 'tons'!

Vogue Italia

Sweet Marisa has to be one of the most stylish lesbians on the planet. I hope she has a lady friend tucked away somewhere. Her therapist daughter pings as well. A lot of gay in those genes.

Why is she wearing Sally Kellerman's old face?

I appreciate she never had a nose job. She's what I imagine Christy Turlington would like if she hadn't gotten a nose job at a young age.

I saw Marisa in Beverly Hills 25 years ago and she looked older than she does now.

R46 oh dear, the daughter is deepening her knowledge with crystals…

R25 Those filters are pretty extreme. The optical trickery basically removes all the shadows and the deep labial folds (I mean, the ones on her face).

I think she looks like a muppet now.

Pretty in pink...

^^ yes, here with her daughter she looks as if she was just topped-up. Her face ebbs and flows with treatments. But she's a sweetheart so we don't mind.

[quote] "Yes, Marisa has some money socked away. Don't begrudge her."

She's had her own career R9, but I wonder how much of her money is Schiaparelli money...

The necklace she’s wearing is worth a fortune.

I doubt she owns those jewels. Probably a loaner for this day during Fashion Week. Just like the gown.

On 9/11. Marisa was flying from Paris to NYC so her flight had to divert to Canada where she spent days in hangers relying on the kindness of strangers. This is where she learned her sister had died.

This going to make a great biopic.

It's helpful to have healthy skin on which to operate. Drinking, smoking & excessive tanning does not promote healthy skin.

Marisa did all three r59

Why, thank you, R11! And you're spectacular, too! Why, I do not know no other woman who is giving her body so frequently to men .... Oh! I am sorry, my English. Have I offended you?

Liza and Marisa made quite the couple.

: )

R58 She was one of the Come from Away people stuck in Gander?

Her style is atrocious though.

R62 It makes me sad to think that that was HALF a century ago.

Marisa had a relationship with model/actress Ann Prentiss, Paula's sister.

There must be a lot of crazy in their genes because Paula had a breakdown during the filming of What's New Pussycat? She cut her wrists and climbed up into the scaffolds over a set. Blood dripped down onto the set. It was very upsetting for the cast.

Ann died in prison after making threats to kill her father and Paula's husband and son.

What caused Paula’s breakdown? I never heard this before.

Paula had great eyes:

Scroll down for the breakdown story she tells. She omits the wrist slashing but I knew someone who worked on the film so I got the entire story. She spent months in psychiatric hospitals. I was told that she's quite a fragile type of individual.

Marisa and Halston...

I think the sentiment of "aging gracefully" is bullshit. Just another form of ageism, by most, really. People, especially women, should have the right to 'age' however the fuck they want...as long as they're not hurting themselves or anyone else. Plus, there's no one way to live, or age.

[quote]People, especially women, should have the right to 'age' however the fuck they want..

Excuse me for stating the obvious, but they already have that right. So what are you going on about?

Some use that right well. Others make themselves look like fools.

That’s hideous r74

R74 - Love. LOVE!

Interesting photo from the Cabaret set.

Does her skin care line sell?

[quote] Excuse me for stating the obvious, but they already have that right. So what are you going on about?

Look at the nasty crap most of you say in these threads about aging women anyway, and you've answered your own question.

Maybe I'm missing something but she doesn't appear to have aged gracefully at all, but instead looks as pulled and filled as your typical aged socialite did about 10-15 years ago. Just because her many plastic surgeries haven't rendered her as freakish as others doesn't mean she's "aged gracefully."

She should have stopped with the face she had in 2010.

She was gorgeous in "Barry Lyndon."

I love her whiteness.

R80 is a nasty piece of shit because he/she is clearly ignoring what we say about aging men like Redford, DiCaprio and Cruise. The fucker feels all gay men hate women. Get off DL asshole.

With DL fave Helmut Berger on the set of the Garden of the Finzr-Continis (1970). A great film btw. Highly recommended.

She looks great. You bitches are just jealous. She has it all: looks, a bank account and a fabulous life. Mazel tov to her!

Plus she's a sweetheart. How does she manage this?

[quote]She has it all: looks, a bank account and a fabulous life.

But no tits.

She does look marvelous but she can’t hide the aging process in her movement and voice. She was in I Am Love with Tilda Swinton a few years ago and she was a bit creaky.

[quote] Mazel tov to her!

Is she a believer?

[quote] I love her whiteness.

I can't believe you haven't been assaulted by a DL adolescent yet for saying that.

[quote] DL adolescent

I suspect they would have avoided this thread which caters for us Eldergays.

I’ve always thought Ms. Berenson was a beautiful woman.

R92 You're right, and maybe I meant "adolescent".

R84 I never said anything about "all men hating women" here. Quite the contrary actually. And yes, the stuff said about the older men can be nasty as hell too. Take your meds honey.

[quote] Get off DL asshole.

You first.

[quote] I love her whiteness.

[quote]I can't believe you haven't been assaulted by a DL adolescent yet for saying that.

Because we all ignored the obvious fishing for attention.

Who is she wearing here? This is magnificent.

....

Best to avoid being pictured next to a younger, beautiful woman.

It helps not to have your plane slam into the World Trade Center.

Unless she's your gf. Then you show her off.

I especially love her blonde whiteness.

R97, in that photo, she appears to be wearing J.C. Penney.

Versailles 1973
