There was a time in the 80s when I thought she was beautiful, but I haven't gotten her appeal for about 25 years now. Somewhere along the way she adopted the look of schoolmarm with open arms.

I do like the crazy bitch though.

I think she stopped using any kind of facial cosmetics after a big mishap with some cream or treatment messed up with her face.
(I can't remember when that happened and if it was with Lancòme or another manufacturer)

I always thought she was kind of plain, even in her heyday.

I thought she looked great in Wild at Heart. But then, she hardly looked like Isabell Rossellini in that movie.

i think she's still beautiful, but she's picked a really unfortunate haircut. she could look better if she tried a bit ....

Back in the day:

I love a good short cut, but I actually liked a bob on her more.

She was gorgeous. And she still looks good now. She's just not doing the glam thing right now.

We're so used to seeing women from her generation like Sharon Stone and Melanie Griffith botoxed and face-pulled and shit, we can forget what a woman in her early 60s is SUPPOSED to look like.

I thought she looked gorgeous in Death Becomes Her.

She's one celeb who did not age as well as I thought she would...

I've hated that haircut since Blacklist, and wish she would go back to the bob or the Italian cut. She's still lovely, but she looks like she's attending the opera on her living room couch.

I think she looks great.

Her features and bone structure are gorgeous, but it's been apparent for a long time now that she doesn't give a rat's arse about being seen as physically beautiful. It's not her priority. I think she kicks ass.
