Of course there are some fabulous middle-aged actresses doing amazing work. On HBO, and on Desperate Housewives, for instance...
Saw a review of a Cameron Diaz movie (something about sisters) and was aghast at how she looked even in a glimpse. She's gotten the Julia Roberts treatment--looks like she spent a week in a wind tunnel, all skull and stretched skin. You know they're goners when they start going to the butchers.
I've never seen this Desperate Housewives...should I rent the 1st season DVD? I like watching series TV that way. We watched the entire three seasons of THE SHIELD in less than a week and the 1st season of NIP/TUCk also. Have you ever seen NIP/TUCK...LOVE Julian McMahon!!!
