Re: Priscilla Presley [Actress]
Priscilla simply has a hard time aging gracefully. She started wearing gloves CONSTANTLY in the late eighties/early nineties, when her hands started to get wrinkly and covered in liver spots. The eighties is when she started to, subtly, tweak her looks (her face) to maintain her natural beauty. I don't know when collagen and botox came in vogue. I do know that she was one of the first to start with injectables and implants. She had small cheekbone implants, partial mini face lifts to remove crows feet and wrinkles around her mouth, fat removed from her eyelids, peelings.... And then she went overboard with collagen and botox injections. She had way too much collagen injected in her top lip, so it became lop sided and so thick, that when she laughed, her upper teeth didn't show anymore. Her overdose of botox gave her the appearance of a Kabuki mask. She never had much of an expressive face, which is why we all thought she wouldn't develop much wrinkles, but when she moved to California, she lived the sun worshipping lifestyle for over a decade. I guess that her skin type couldn't take that.
For a while there, I think she had a bad reaction to one of her treatments, because for several months the tip of her nose was constantly red and no amount of make-up could cover it up. It seems to have settled now. And although she stopped wearing gloves after about three years back in the eighties, she often has way too long sleeves that cover part of her hands.
Keeping her face wrinkle free though isn't going to fool anybody when you forget about the neck> she really has a turkey neck and I think it's odd her make-up artist doesn't at least cover it in the same color make-up that's on her face (very pale).
She was a stunning woman in her prime and I think she could've aged quite well and ended up looking like a charming, mature woman of 61. Instead she half looks her granddaughter's age, half senior citizen (face opposed to neck and hands).
