Have you seen Farrah Fawcett lately?

JACQUE...@webtv.net (Jackki5)
This evening on Entertainment Tonight, there was a segment about Farrah.
I couldn't believe how much she has aged. Maybe she chose to grow old
gracefully, and if she has, more power to her. Personally, I've adopted
the old "Oil of Olay" pitch as my personal motto: "Don't grow old
gracefully, you've got to fight it with everything"
It seems that time hasn't been on Farrah's side. There is a lot of
creepiness (loss of elasticity) in her skin. Her complexion is shallow
and she is frail. Yet, she (tries?) to come across as an older but sexy
woman. Sure, she still has the figure, but her aging face throws
everything off balance.
...and to think, this is the woman whom almost every man (and maybe some
women as well) leered and ogled at back in the 70's.
As a contrast, Cybill Shepherd is somewhere in Farrah's age range. She
decided not to have plastic surgery for her wrinkles, but she really
carries her aging self well. Every time I've seen her, she looked great.
Just wonderin'

I was a young child back in the 70s so I don't recall a lot about Farrah–mania.
But I do remember seeing her ubiquitous posters. To my child's eye back then
she appeared to be mostly hair, teeth, and a perpetual dark tan. The tanning
probably has more to do with her aging skin than anything else.

Different outlooks on life. Cybill doesn't put up with anything and Farrah
has put up with abuse. Farrah is 56 and Cybill is 53. Amazingly enough,
they were both born in February.
FWIW, I don't like how obnoxious Cybill has become. I like her more in her
soft spoken days. I wish she'd tone it down a bit. I like the Moonlighting
Cybill.

I saw that segment.
Everybody is different and we can't really compare how two people age. It
can't be easy to "age" in the public eye. Female stars are under a lot of
pressure to look young. We scrutinize, compare, criticize...celebrities are
damned if they do and damned if they don't. We focus so much on their looks.
Fact is, every body is aging. I think that both Farrah and Cybill carry
their "aging selves" well. Both have had long carreers in an unforgiving
industry.

Cybill is quite a bit heavier than Farrah. IMO, Farrah's haggard look has
everything to do with her near skeletal weight. If she would gain a little, it
would benefit her facial contours greatly.

I agree. Super thin does not age well.

I haven't seen any recent pics, but I do agree that tanning is really
hard on one's skin and speeds up aging. To me, a *healthy* tan just
doesn't look healthy...

I was a college student and neophyte software weenie back in the 1970s
so I also recall Farrah... hair, teeth, and Nikes.

A few reasons that CS may be aging well:
CS was born and raised in Memphis and all that humidity seems to
really be good for the complexion.
Humidity? or like many other Southern girls of that era, being
cautioned as a youngster to limit sun exposure?

I do think CS looks better and chalk it up to her having a higher percentage of
body fat. Also, if the tabs are to be believed, FF has had a drug problem,
which is reflected in how gaunt she looks.
mypetandyo...@hotmail.com (mypet)
Actually Cybill still lives in Memphis at least part of the time. She
has a home on one of the bluffs overlooking the river. The part about
being advised to stay out of the sun and gaining a few pounds is
probably contributory to her lack of lines, though.

Yep. About Cybill, I think she may drink a bit and why her eyes look puffy.

I met Farrah one nite in the ladies room of a restaurant and she looked
very
attractive. I really did not notice the lines as she still has the most
incredible smile and was very approachable. She passed me a towel. I tried
to act normal. hahah

That was really sweet.

I just saw Cybill on I think Access Hollywood and she had so much
makeup on, she looked like a 60 year old lady who has not idea how to
apply makeup. Her blush was BRIGHT red and dark eyeliner......it was
just horrible, and I think she is very pretty.
I agree with other posters, too thin makes you look old. I recently
saw a friend I haven't see in about 4 years, I always was envious of
her beautiful skin, well she was in great shape physcially but had
lost about 20 pounds and had aged 15 years, her face skin was all
wrinkled and she just looked awful.

She's got her man back so it can't be all bad.
Someone else made reference to her poster(s). One of them is the

She always had him. If anything, and I don't know that they are together,
he has her back. He has always been gah gah over her.

Indeed. I had a roommate in Academy who had trouble keeping weight on.
Also, various life circumstances can cause it too, such that cause
depression or anxiety.
My roommate by the time she had three children came to be of normal weight.

There's a picture of her in the N.E. where she's wearing the old Charlie's
Angels hair these days, side by side with a 70's picture. The most
noticeable difference in the new pic is that her nose is pushed up and
flattened in an odd way; either it's a plastic pug, the result of cocaine
erosion, or Ryan slugged her.

That and the fact that she can't even smile any more. In that 70's poster
she had an incredible wide and beautiful smile...now she can barely smile
and when she does it looks really strange.

Hi there.
I agree she look dreadful. Sometimes women or men for that matter who
have it all in their 20s or 30s lose it – never to return again. She
looks terrible for her age. She is only 7 years older than me and
yuck. She also had a facelift or something after her appearance on
Letterman. Looks bad still.
Terrible job. I feel sorry for her. Always seemed like a nice
person.
Funnilly enough, a guy that I did an encounter weekend retreat with in
university became the director that she was going out with an
apparently abused her. His name is James Orr. I had a crush on him in
university.
Very very bright guy and so sexy.
