That woman needs a make-over from an individual she can trust. Even if the face lift cannot be reversed there is still a lot that can be done. Different shade for the hair, new make up for sure, then some sporty, age appropriate clothes. It's not that difficult to bring back some normalcy.

Women that age should not be dressing in overly youthful clothing.

My dermatologist has long had a theory about how Joan Van Ark became this disfigured burned face as you can see in R119. He has not treated her but he thinks that she had a phenol facial peel. It is the most aggressive type of peel and is normally only used drop-wise on the radial lines women get around the mouth (especially sun-happy smokers like Aunt Magda). It burns the skin so extensively that wherever phenol has touched your skin, you're only left with scar tissue that will never be wrinkled again and no melanocytes which means your as white as the late years Michael Jackson and you absolutely cannot tolerate the sun. So she probably went to a quack who promised her that she would never ever have a wrinkle again (true) but without telling her it makes you look like you tried to immolate yourself with gasoline. Kind of like Freddy Krueger.
My dermatologist told me he had already had patients that had a phenol peel all over their face and the women had to sleep with a silicon mask all night every night forever to try to mitigate their self-immolated look. He also pointed out that usually with these women, the lip is no longer defined as the scar tissue and the lip mucous membrane are a continuum of each other. Which is pretty much what we have on Joan Van Ark. Yikes!

Looking at photos of Joan, you can see that, over the years, her makeup has stayed the same, with the same skintone lip color, dark foundation on the forehead at the hair line, and light foundation in the center nose and mouth area. It's the application that has gotten worse and worse. Honestly, I think she started doing all this with her makeup in the 1970s. Now she's just blind as a bat and can't apply it properly.

Joan looks her age (finally). I'd love to see what some of you eldergays look like who are 10-20 years younger. LOL. She was gorgeous in her youth, but that was 35-50 years ago. She looks better than Bridget Bardot.

R148 and R146- I have never seen a woman with that central face purple-ness that she has. Her makeup doesn't even cover it-
It doesn't look like bruising but all of the veins in her face..
Its crazy.

Actually R146, since you had to ask, I fuck my dermatologist so yes, we have a lot of time to talk of Joan Van Ark or Catherine Deneuve or mostly French stars, since we're French. That's how we came to discuss Joan Van Ark or that I've also learned that Catherine Deneuve got part of her facial nerve cut off during a facelift and they had to postpone the release of her film by almost a year for her to be able to promote the film (I think it was Place Vendôme 99-ish). And since this is a full disclosure, I'm also the guy that busted Isabelle Adjani in a waiting room near Lyon waiting to see the plastic surgeon, Franck Trepsat.

Joan went to Yale drama and is a Tony nominated actor with numerous prestige Broadway credits, so I have to say I'm surprised that a serious actress like her would feel the need to resort to plastic surgery, etc and not be comfortable playing roles for women her age like Maggie Smith, Vanessa Redgrave and Judy Dench.

Years ago a friend told me that their friend (who I never met) worked in the make-up dept. for a year or two on Knots Landing. All he said was that the drama doing the ladies' makeup was more over the top than anything you saw on the show. I always assumed he was talking primarily about Joan. I like Joan (as much as anyone can like an actor they've never met), and I do think she is a talented actress, but she always struck me as flighty, neurotic and horrifically insecure about her looks. The woman was beautiful, but that doesn't always mitigate a person's view of themselves and I imagine being in Hollywood didn't exactly allay her fears. These were B-actresses in their late 30s to early 40s at a time when 30 was old for a woman in the industry. Whoever said she suffered from body dysmorphia was probably right. It's sad, really.

R169 is right- I heard that the ladies were vicious about LIGHTING and MAKE UP. Not nasty, but utterly neurotic and perfectionists.
I think Donna Mills confirmed this- Donna knew EXACTLY what she needed to look her best and did her own make up.

JVA definitely has body dysmorphia.
In the past, JVA likely looked at herself and was extremely insecure, even when she was younger and attractive, that's when the plastic surgeries, fillers and her downward spiral started. JVA must also starve herself to remain so skinny.
Does she now look in the mirror and think she's perfect? As for the horrific makeup, JVA likely got stuck in an era where she thought her makeup etc was great and she stuck with it. Scary.
Most of these people need therapy, not getting their faces and bodies mangled.

She’s hardly a recluse. She appeared with Michele and Donna at Oscar’s in Palm Springs a few months ago. I know she’s wrecked her face, but her persona is so likable in interviews. She is bawdy and very self deprecating. You can tell she’s a kook but a fun one. I find her very endearing.

Michelle Lee has the Anne Miller, ZSA ZSA Gabor nose job. Like a tiny pekingese. Just terrible proportions to the face. Sissy Spacek, I love her. But wow. You can't fix that kind of damage.
Yes you can add grafts and bone from the rib, but that's more for reconstructing caved in noses. You can't make a miniscule nose much larger.
Van Ark has an obvious nose job too - it's far too thin. Like every other feature on her face and body. I suspect she likes the way she looks. What she doesn't like is being OLD.

Purple hands usually come from gardening. Or blood thinners. Some cancer treatments.
Suzanne Somers has coarser skin and features because she is 100% natural. She has undergone no cosmetic procedures or surgery. ZERO. If anything, Suzanne has found the fountain of youth. She's a miracle of a woman. Her decision to dedicate her life to science and medicine is Broadway, Film and TV's loss. She'll always have her Oscar and Tony awards. The EGOT she can do without.

R44 is correct. She basically has Michael Jackson Syndrome. A gawd-awful nose job (or several) to the point where she's had to plaster her face in pancake makeup to cover the prosthetic nose. Similar to Ann Miller.

Just came across a New York Times theater review by Clive Barnes in 1971 of a show Joan was in. Moliere's "The School For Wives" starring Brian Bedford, David Dukes and Joan, It's a rave with Barnes calling the production "a treasure" in the headline. Featuring a gorgeous photo of Bedford and Joan. Barnes says..."The two other leading actors, the flourishing Horace of David Dukes and the radiantly innocent Agnes of Joan Van Ark just show the right panache, also giving the play the verve and sparkle it demands. This is proving a fine New York theater season, the best in years, and "The School For Wives" is certainly among it's treasures.
Joan was nominated for a Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Play.
