[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Was just thinking this while watching True Detective. Jodie Foster and Fiona Shaw both have lined faces. They look (and are) older women. They both look beautiful and the lines in their faces give them character and depth they wouldn't have with every wrinkled filled, stretched, and smoothed out.

My mom got wrinkles on the late side (didn't really start seeing them until her late 50s) and they were mostly fine lines for a long time. Now in her late 70s she has deeper lines, but I still like how her skin looks -- she still has a glow and there's still color in her cheeks. I would be totally okay with following in her footsteps. She's never had any procedures done at all -- just moisturized her skin and stayed out of the sun.[/quote]

There is 0 way that Jodie Foster isn't doing both fillers and botox. Just because it looks more natural doesn't mean they haven't had something done. I think that's a big myth about Botox and Fillers. You actually need to do a ton (10+ syringes of fillers in the face or 2-3 in the lips) to even start seeing a unnatural look[/quote]

No. I really do not think she does anything. I think she looks beautiful, but she has jowls, neck sagging, forehead lines, drooping eye lids, smile lines, fine lines around her mouth and eyes, you name it. She look her age. She's always had sharp features and she's kept them, but she looks older because she is.

It's possible she has had Botox, but it does not look like she's getting it now or that she's done it regularly enough to prevent a lot of the lines. She's not doing fillers as there is zero evidence of it and she also doesn't have any of the weird shifting that happens as they settle. And the state of her neck and eyelids indicates no surgery, either.

The assumption that everyone does it is just false. I do think some actors (1) are less vain and don't care as much, and (2) more committed to keeping their faces looking natural for purposes of wanting to believably play older women (and not just rich older women who've had procedures done). I also don't think Emma Thompson, Sigourney Weaver, Sissy Spacek, Frances McDormand, and Juliette Binoche or going largely without interventions. A few of them might get Botox occasionally for big events, but I think some of them eschew even that.

The truth is that some women do not mind looking older and might even embrace it. Even some famous women in the public eye. I mean if I had the kind of long and successful careers these women have had, I'd like to think I wouldn't care either. What do they have to prove to anyone?[/quote]
