What middle aged men in Hollywood still get to look like:

I have the same eyes and am now 50. In the third picture, she's clearly had a lid lift. Our eyes just don't age well. My dad had surgery in his 70s because the heavy lids started obscuring his vision. Insurance covers it.

I think she's fabulous and love that she's allowing her real age to show. (I don't put the lid lift for her in the same category as normal cosmetic surgery for aging.)

If you haven't seen her movie, The Sessions, give yourself a treat and watch it. It is unforgettable. So funny and moving.

Seriously. She was everywhere in the 90s until she stepped away from acting for a bit (raising her child in Hawaii, I believe). But she had been everywhere for years. Are you young, OP?

Nope, I'm 46. I never said I didn't know of the show, I did. I just did not watch it. It's not unusual for me. I never watched Seinfeld when it was airing, I only started watching after it went into syndication.

Im fairly young (31) and even I watched tons of repeats of Mad About You in my youth. So Op has to be under 25.

OP, maybe you recognize her from the movie Twister?

Yes, I did see that movie!

I know who she is I just didn't recognize her. I never watched that TV show but I have seen her in a movie or two.

This is what smoking and sunbathing do to your skin.

She looks the same, just older. She was never that attractive to begin with.

I didn't word that well, I am most certainly not a troll. She is the governor but the story revolves around a small southern town.

Please, my mother is 76 and looks better than this. Sunscreen and vitamin c serum ladies, it works. She has access to all of that and said "I don't care", she should care she is in pictures as they said I the old days. This is about aging gracefully and role model crap, this is about just nit even trying

OP again, I just googled to see what she looked like on Mad About You and she had the disappearing eyes back then too.

She plays the Governor of a town? I call troll.
