Bridget Fonda hit headlines on Wednesday after she was photographed out in public for the first time in more than a decade.
The 58-year-old former actress — who quit Hollywood in 2002 and hasn’t walked a red carpet since 2010 — looked unrecognizable as she ran errands in Los Angeles.

Fonda has proven that even the most glamorous stars change over the years, and she joins a growing number of former pinups who are defiantly owning their age and prioritizing personal comfort over public expectations.
Other ’80s and ’90s heartthrobs, however, have taken a different route — sparking speculation they’ve received cosmetic enhancements in a bid to fend off the aging process.
Here, the hottest stars of yesteryear and how they look now.

I stopped going for a lot of reasons, but mostly because I had grown up and moved on. Life happens. FB came along and I was able to get back in touch with some. I don’t do FB anymore, but maintain a very limited presence there. That’s where I’ve seen the photos of the reunions. Very few aged well. Most were people who still lived within the state or a nearby one.
People get old. Fighting it takes a lot of effort.
And lots of plastic surgery.

Woohoo!!!!
I’ve got a date next week with a woman that according to this could be an aged hot movie star.
Matthew “man boobs” Perry.
The rumor was that the Friends reunion was to benefit him as he had blown through most of his earnings.
These pictures don’t show natural aging - they show excessive weight gain due to the Food Pyramid. You didn’t see stars of the 30’s - 60’s looking like this when they aged. Wrinkles, yes - giant blobs of fat, no.
The Post is so sly.
That's funny! I had no idea! I'll have to try and find that one. Ajay's cool in that he's left but very respectful of everyone.
Clint Eastwood has aged really well.I heard he was in his 90’s and still making movies!
I could live very comfortably off of the “Friends” residuals.
Melanie Griffith was so cute in her younger years, but cosmetic surgeries altered her natural beauty. Lots of emotional baggage has robbed her of her natural beauty as well.
Somebody should post Russell Crowe. Yikes!(Shamefully, admitting that I don’t know how.)
She’s seesawed up and down in weight, but you’re correct about always in the spotlight.
Many former classmates aren’t looking so hot anymore.
Dudes are fat and balding, and the women are near menopause after raising kids, or being single, sleeping around, and slamming Chardonnay...
Wanna see older actors, check out Netflix show starring Michael Douglas called Kominsky Method...Really like it only 3 seasons and we’re in #2 already. Kathleen Turner shows up in season #2 as Michael’s ex-wife (ironic) and I told my husband who it was and he said, no way that’s Kathleen Turner...she changed alot from those early films with Douglas...

One of my best friends is in her mid-70’s and she can still pass for 40.

I was at a birthday party last weekend for a lady who just turned 80... keeps herself in topnotch shape and could pass for a very fit (and beautiful) 50 year old.
One lady who I greatly admired was Harriette Thompson of North Carolina... a concert pianist and cancer survivor who started running marathons at the age of 76. Here’s a picture of her at 91 in 2014 at race... cancer came back and she died at 94.

Poor Ned Beatty got the short end of the stick in that department.
She’s annoying as hell, but I gotta say Fran Drescher still looks pretty damn good.
