r3 represents the most common misconception about plastic surgery, which is, if these two or three people all used the same surgeon and they look great, why does the fourth person look awful?

There are no guarantees in plastic surgery, including surviving the procedure. I met someone who had the same procedure I did and his scarring was so minimal, i asked which dr he used--same one as i did.

Also dont be so impressed by what celebs use. Prescilla Presley thought the doctor who was giving her injections was reputable because she met him at Lionel Richie's house. He was filling her face with garbage and permanently disfigured her and I think went to prison?

Jane Fonda does look amazing. It may be her results, it could be that when you see her, she has had professional makeup, is under flattering lighting, and shot from far away. If you saw her at the supermarket without makeup or a wig, you might say "what a pretty 85 year old." (The wigs these actresses wear do a lot of heavy lifting after the age of 75).

Jane appears very fit for a woman her age, so must eat better. She's also clearly used more restraint than Meg over the years - at least until the final season of Grace and Frankie where she looked like the alt future, plastic surgery victim version of herself from a prior season.

I've always heard that it works better to have smaller stuff done more often than big surgeries all at once - a little nip here and tuck there.

I'm sorry but have you seen Jane in High Definition without any filters? It's a rare thing but it's out there. A few years ago she was in a French film where they obviously didn't bother to filter her and, OMG, if she had been pulled any tighter her twat would have overlapped her nose. Or maybe it did.

Also, on the exercise thing, she can barely walk. A friend of mine was working at one of those Hollywood functions opening limos to let the stars out and Jane limo pulled up. As he reached out to her to let her out of the car she said to him, "Careful, I know I don't look it but I'm a very old lady."

R59 When actors are on they try to move like their younger selves, on the red carpet for instance and definitely in movies. You catch those snippets and think, wow Jane Fonda's in such good shape. In reality, she's had several hip replacements, many face lifts and other adjustments. Yes, she looks good but looks are deceiving. She's survived years of anorexia and bulimia and that couldn't have served her very well in the aging department, so that's where plastic surgery comes in handy.

JFC The Guardian is so predictable:

[quote]Oh no, it happened again: a famous woman didn’t follow the rules of ageing

[quote]Meg Ryan was declared ‘unrecognizable’ in headlines after attending a screening – even though the tabloids clearly recognized her

[quote]Meg Ryan leaves house, faces instant misogyny Oh no, it’s happened again. Every now and again a famous woman over the age of 45 has the temerity to go out in public without following The Rules of Ageing While Female and all hell breaks loose. This time the offender is Meg Ryan. The 61-year-old actor attended a documentary screening in New York this week, sparking immediately scrutiny from all the usual tabloids about her appearance and how much plastic surgery she might have had. Both the Daily Mail and Page Six declared Ryan “unrecognizable” in their headlines. Which is weird, because they clearly recognized her.

[quote]Anyway, since so many people seem to be unaware of how to age in a tabloid-friendly manner, a quick recap of The Rules. First and foremost, ladies, remember that you need to age gracefully and naturally. But not too naturally. Not so naturally that you get wrinkles and grey hair and actually look your age. Yuck! Not like that. No, you need to age naturally in a way that makes it looks like you haven’t aged at all. You need to age in a way which makes it seem like you’re still youthful enough for Leonardo DiCaprio to consider dating. Which, unless you have a portrait in an attic somewhere or are half-vampire, probably means getting plastic surgery.

Will someone please help me recall the timeline for all this. Did Meg get the plastic surgery before or after she ended her marriage to Quaid by having an affair with the younger Russell Crowe, was pillared in the media for being a homewrecker, and then dumped by Crowe, who claimed she was "getting too serious" before he quickly became engaged to a younger blonde woman? Is it possible Meg destroyed her face in an effort to look younger because of the trauma caused by Crowe dumping her in such a public manner for a younger woman after Meg ended her long-term marriage to be with Crowe?

The Guardian are playing dodgy by not using a recent photo of Meg. I think the surgery overhaul was during/after the affair with Crowe? And "a source close to Meg" has in the past implied she was upset that she actually ditched Crowe, but Crowe didn't "come to her aid" by clarifying that he got dumped. WTF?

I also remember that when Ryan and Crowe were first sprung together by the press, they were stupid enough to publicly deny it, meaning that when it was obvious they were a couple, the press had it in for them. That must have played a part in the press tearing Ryan down, plus her rejection of rom-com roles to attempt "serious" work. She was stupid to leave behind her mushy films, however dumb they were. There wasn't much of an audience for her to be taken seriously and she embarrassed herself in flicks like Hurly Burly.

They both sound like narcissistic monsters who played the press wrong. And at his peak, Crowe was dumb enough to complain in a televised interview that his fans were too fat. He called them "salad dodgers". He's the size of a truck now himself!

She lied to reporters about having her affair, then got all precious about her acting career. Then mutilated her face and got prissy about it. Now has mutlated her face again.

A "no comment" when first being rumbled with Crowe, staying in her lane with her stupid rom-coms and finding a better surgeon would have giver her a much better result, career-wise.

The press don't like being called liars, the public in general don't like adulterers who lie about it, few people want to see a cutesy blonde in serious movies and now she has a Joker mouth with a face full of filler but gets all high and mighty when asked about it. She should just admit she had work done and it didn't all go to plan. She's full of shit.

>>Ryan previously got candid about the negativity surrounding her looks, telling Porter magazine in 2015 that she doesn’t “pay a lot of attention” to the gossip.

>>“There’s a lot of hatred in the world today, it’s so easy to judge,” the “City of Angels” star said at the time.

>>“Imagine being a hater, how stupid! My women friends are not sitting around talking about … well, sometimes there are conversations like that, but the people I value talk about kids growing up, what kind of world they are going into, what we are eating, what we are breathing.”

Um, so if looks aren't a priority, why buy into the beauty myth? Why not age naturally or at least "more" naturally instead of *repeatedly* having a shitload of work done?

And when is this woman going to get a decent bra? It was obvious from the previews of that film with Crowe she loves getting around with her tiny tits on display by not wearing a bra under her tops, but to still be doing that at r158's link is ridiculous.

As for her acting efforts, the photo from 2008 shows her giving her standard "amazed" look in whatever that film was. Has she ever completed a film without doing that?

by Anonymousreply 185May 9, 2023 12:18 AM

The eyes and general puffiness is why I asked (way up thread) whether she was on steroids or taking prednisone. There are diseases for which steroids are used as treatment, and they are well known for causing facial swelling. Could also be why the differences in her face were seen several years ago - maybe she's chosen not to share that she has a disease for which she uses such medication(s) and instead has simply stated that she hasn't had any cosmetic surgery.

Stranger things have happened.

She’s also extremely pale and unless you do the self tanner white legs are never attractive.
