My husband believes young pretty women are a dime a dozen, but really attractive older women are a treasure to behold. It's easy maintenance when you're young, but after 4, 5 or 6 decades, you have to give credit where credit is due. We see prettier women at our local malls then some of these "stars" will ever be.

I can think of no sillier criteria for picking a spouse than "what she looks like."

Recently, I was leafing through one of the tabloids and read a piece comparing photos of a number of female stars, one with their makeup and special lighting, the other without. It's amazing how ordinary looking most of them really are.

I'm a Lord of the Rings fan and can tell you how ordinary-looking some of the 30+ male stars are in these films -- for instance, Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean, both in their 40s, look much younger and are much better-looking in the movies than they do in real life.
