I liked the red head.

‘ You just don’t get it’

Unfortunately I do.

Happens all the time. ‘Women don’t age well’ was your comment.

She’s 91 years old and still has to endure people like you commenting on her looks.

Seriously. It’s not defensible. It’s poison.

[Fuzz]

‘ Her plastic surgeon needs to go to jail.’

Post a picture of yourself.

Let people comment on how sexy you are at whatever age you are. You 91?

[Varsity Flight]

Nimoy was good in Columbo

Seriously. It’s not defensible. It’s poison.

She had a career in Hollywood because of her looks. She wouldn't have been successful as an actress without them. There were no ugly women in Hollywood in the 60's, and no trannies either. That's a fact, Jack. Posting the picture invited such comments. If the purpose of the story was to discuss her experience, they posted the wrong picture.

‘ Posting the picture invited such comments’

Did it really? Seriously, did it really invite a comment on a 921year old woman’s aging appearance?

Let’s see what you look like and see if you’re sexy enough at whatever age you are.

Helen Hunt is along similar lines. We tried watching a movie with her in it the other night. She was so ugly she’d scare little kids so bad they’d never sleep again. To play a part as a witch she would not need any makeup, just put on a pointy hat, giver her a broom and she’d do great.

[ViLaLuz]

I’m not knocking her. Obviously she’s struggling with insecurities and she has my empathy, especially as a 91-year old. What angers me is the Hollywood celebrity machine that literally destroys people. Look what happened to Maryann and Gilligan. Ginger survived but some unethical surgeon is more than happy to mutilate her for $$$$$$$$. That mindset is spread throughout American society. There’s nothing wrong with aging. I bet she’d still be beautiful at 91 without all the fillers and implants. But no, some quack got ahold of her.

Have you noticed the same with some of the young ladies in Trump’s circle. The quacks have created something called Mar a Lago face. It’s totally unnecessary, a waste of money and destroys natural beauty at all ages. It can’t be good for health either, having all those materials and chemicals injected into the body.

Yes, a normal person sees the change. It reminds us of our own mortality. We don't like to see a woman's fading beauty. It hurts. I don't come to FR for PC talk. Take it to DU where everyone will agree with you.

[TangoLimaSierra]

$1,500 in today's money is around $15,000. So she made close to half a million per year.
Poor thing.

[redfreedom]

“If the purpose of the story was to discuss her experience, they posted the wrong picture.”

Agreed! The story discusses her pay when working. With that said a picture of her taken from the show would have been much more appropriate.

[Fuzz]

‘ Yes, a normal person sees the change.’

Of course people see the changes.

You said it invited comments on her appearance when a picture was posted.

Totally different things.

When you make comments about a 91 year old woman’s appearance and then talk about how it’s unnecessary for them to get plastic surgery do you not see the connection between those two things?

[ViLaLuz]

I’m not in my 90s yet. I’m a sexy sexagenarian. How about you?

[TheCipher]

And back then a million WAS a million.

And Thurston Howell III brought suitcases of it with him on a 3 hour tour on the SS Minnow ( instead of touring on his own private yacht ) !!!

[Fuzz]

‘ I’m not in my 90s yet. I’m a sexy sexagenarian. How about you?’

Younger than you and a helluva lot uglier than I was 40 years ago.

Post a picture of yourself mom so we can judge her looks and how much she looks like gollum.

“Those eyes, those lips, those nose...”

[Dr. Franklin]

When you make comments about a 91 year old woman’s appearance and then talk about how it’s unnecessary for them to get plastic surgery do you not see the connection between those two things?

No, I never mentioned plastic surgery. That was someone else. I just noted that I preferred to remember her as she was. I don't like to see a beautiful woman age. Life is cruel like that. More people here will agree with me than you A recent photo wasn't helpful to the topic of discussion: her salary in the 1960s.

[RckyRaCoCo]

“...with the show’s creator and producer, Sherwood Schwartz, reportedly making an estimated $90 million from the reruns”

[Fuzz]

‘ More people here will agree with me than you’

lol. So?

[RckyRaCoCo]

Jeannie(Barbara Eden) is 93...99 (Barbara Feldon) is 92

Makes one want to cry...

...wait...I'm what?

Whaaaa...
