They get injections and surgeries to make themselves more youthful and that's criticized too. I mean, take your pick! What if all celebs stopped getting these surgeries and treatments, would that make everyone happy? I think not.
Another thing to remember is that some of these stars were in our favorite movies and TV shows how long ago? We can't expect them to look the same.
I've had a plastic surgeon tell me that thin (thin-skinned), nordic-type skins age the fastest generally speaking. Not only that but I'm in my 40s and when I was growing up we didn't have the great sunscreens we do now, and we were also told that tanning salons were safe.

Although I agree with some of this, I also have noticed that most people on this board don't mind plastic surgery as long as it is done well. What is ridiculous is when someone has their face ruined by overdoing it. For example, why get trout lips when it's possible to use lip fillers more conservatively? Sure, there's huge pressure in the entertainment business to be young, and, barring that, to
look young. But some actors are making themselves look unintentionally older--Nicole Kidman, for example.
As far as aging badly goes, I'll admit it makes me feel a little better about myself to know that I am aging well compared to some of these celebs who "can't win," as you put it. 'Cause most of the celebs we write about here are very well known ones who have earned plenty of money and therefore are already "winners" if you want to get technical about it. And we've also had at least one thread recently discussing people who have aged well in the public eye.
