Time to play those grandma roles if she has the range. When she was young and attractive it landed her some Hollywood work, wasn’t complaining about beauty standards then. funny how that double standard works 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of an incident on a trail 😂 ( really, I like walking in the woods). Saw a bald eagle circling. A couple passed on bikes and I pointed it out. They said "oh, is that it?" looked for about 10 secs and took off. Like they see bald eagles in the wild every day and it's no big deal. Theron is a rare bird. not gonna see many like her in Wal Mart. But the cons here apparently think they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's an 11 physically, but emotionally she seems to be in the 6-7 range, worrying about things beyond her control. To the extent she may be correct, she obviously benefited from her looks to a great degree and seemed unconflicted at that time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read your link but I skimmed a different one and had a different takeaway. People were saying she got plastic surgery and she simply said she didn't, she's getting older. I applaud those actresses who don't go under the knife. It's sad they feel they have to for their career. Some plastic surgery results are horrific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between make up, filters, and other Hollywood magic who really know what she looks like. It’s big business. She talked about men aging v women aging, agism in Hollywood. It just makes me chuckle when people who are successful in large part because of their looks suddenly get all turned around when things change as they are sure to do. There are precious few Charlize Theron’s built like Lizzo—just as there are precious few leading men who look like your old pal Lenny. Get in line, Charlize, and suck it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look her up without make up. 7-8 if she has a great personality, otherwise just some other un noticeable 50 year old at the dmv. But she absolutely was an 8/9 even as a B word 2 decades ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The makeup free shots don’t change much for me, these are real people and the unmadeup look can be awesome imo. Still, as a 3.25-3.45 myself, a 7/8 is pretty good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'm old enough now to have seen the changing of the guards many times over. It was a big deal when the very young (and highly annoying) Jane Pauley took over the NBC Today show, leapfrogging lots of older women. Then in time when she was pushed aside for a younger woman it was just all so unfair ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need dialysis yet but just entered stage 4 CKD. Was from the high BP that caused my stroke 9 yers ago. BP is under control but see the nephrologist every other month. The stress test (one of the tests to see if I am healthy enough to go on the transplant list) spotted an abnormality so I have an angiogram scheduled next Wednesday. I feel like a pincushion. In the last two months they have taken over 40 vials of blood with more to be taken tomorrow. Edited August 23, 2023 by Wacka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
