I wonder why it is so very obvious when an actor has had "work done" these days? The Red Carpet at the Oscars last night was populated with formerly beautiful faces now wrecked by bad surgery.
I understand that their profession demands youth and beauty. But does it? Surely not like this. Sandra Bullock... oh, honey. Why? What did they fix when they removed the pretty?
Emma Thompson. Yes. PLEASE. Let me take Emma Thompson home with me. So stunningly beautiful and fascinatingly sexy. And her face appears to be her.
What happened? Certainly Joan Crawford, Betty Davis, etc., had face lifts. But I don't remember ever seeing them and thinking "who did that? Vincent Price?"
Is it that they overdo it? Or that they can't recognize the tipping point? Skin at 40 doesn't mend so nicely and heal as well as skin at 20. Is that it? Or is it really that cosmetic surgery as a field has forgotten how to do what they do?
Creams and moisturizers, yes (I have a battery of the stuff that Warren Beatty would envy). Good health choices, yes. Staying in shape, yes. Going under the knife to remove the things that audiences have bought tickets to see, like character, personality, mobility of expression, beauty? Why?
