It would be uncouth to use that picture as an excuse to mock Hillary Clinton. But I will anyway.

Still looking pretty good for 90.

But Sarah, Abraham's wife beats her. At 90 years old Sarah was so beautiful, she was made part of a king's harem.

She was gorgeous and those are her real lips. Not those big fat deformed rubber looking lips the gals are getting done nowadays.

https://www.grunge.com/921433/the-tragic-2006-death-of-mariska-hargitays-father-mickey-hargitay/

He was a bodybuilder..article is poorly written - probably by a robot. He didn’t die a tragic death, his former wife Jayne Mansfield did. Says he was the father of two famous actresses without naming them. Only one Mariska on Law & Order and the other?????
