Then, a celebrity who ages naturally is criticized.
For example, actress Rachel Ward, 68.
Recently, Rachel was criticized for her older appearance. She responded that she's happy the way she is.
She and her husband raised a family, and now in their golden years, they run their farm and enjoy their time with their grandchildren. That's a good life.
Compare her to Madonna, 67.
Given a choice between one or the other, I'd rather age like Rachel.
"The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement."
- B. Franklin, in "Advice to a Young Man on the Choice of a Mistress," (1745)
