That we are all destined to grow old and grey is an immutable fact of life (for now, at least, who knows what the future holds with regards to technology and science).
It doesn’t matter how much money we have, how strictly we control our diet or exercise, how much sleep we get, or what we do for a living… sure, we might age differently, but in the end we’re all headed in the same direction. It’s basic biology, and not something we can do too much about.
Which is why it’s somewhat amusing that we can still be shocked when we see the hand of Father Time working its magic. Perhaps you haven’t seen someone for years, only to be taken back by how much they’ve aged? Or you spot an old movie star you remember from your childhood, only now their hair is white, their youthful exuberance gone.
It’s an interesting thing actually, the way celebrities age. Their appearances change as they get older – just as with any human being – only their path to old age is documented for the whole world to see. Be it from film to film, red carpet to red carpet, they leave a trail one can literally follow with their finger.
Now, time for today’s not-so-subtle segway: who remembers Meg Foster?
Of course you do! With her captivating, icy blue eyes, piercing gaze and raw beauty, how could you not? The American actress made her acting debut alongside Michael Douglas in Adam at 6am (1970), going on to star in numerous projects including The Six Million Dollar Man, Bonanza, The Twilight Zone and Murder, She Wrote.
Once a burgeoning talent and in-demand actress, Foster’s star has steadily shrunk from the limelight in the last two decades. These days she looks virtually unrecognizable from the woman who Mademoiselle magazine said had “the eyes of 1979”.
I mean, that’s hardly a surprise given that she’s now 76 years old, but it appears that people on the internet simply can’t grasp just how much she’s changed. We’ll be honest, some of the comments to be found are borderline cruel, while others simply reinforce the idea that the actress looks nothing like she did.
That said, we think that her decision to age naturally – without resorting to the plastic surgery that has become so commonplace in the film and TV industry – should be commended, not lambasted.
In any case, Foster continues to work within film and TV, as well as reportedly breeding horses from a large range which she owns by herself.
Do you remember Meg Foster? What do you think to how she looks now? Let us know in the comments.
Stevie Wonder gives Tom Jones an emotional birthday surprise that brings him to tears
Tom Jones, the celebrated Welsh singer, first captured audiences’ imaginations in the 1960s with a string of chart-topping hits including “2It’s Not Unusual”, “What’s New Pussycat?”, “Green, Green Grass of Home” and “Delilah”. With his powerful baritone and impressive vocal range, Jones earned acclaim for his ability to switch seamlessly from a deep, resonant tone to a smooth, melodic style, and received praise from critics such as AllMusic and The New York Times.
While he enjoyed popularity for several decades, Tom Jones’ image underwent a transformation in the mid-1970s. Once seen as a wholesome entertainer, he was increasingly viewed as a novelty sex symbol and his popularity seemed to wane. However, his career took a remarkable revival with his collaboration on Art of Noise’s cover of Prince’s “Kiss”. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of Jones’ reinvention into the beloved and respected figure he is today.
