She HAS aged - and yet she is still BEAUTIFUL!

I just saw Indy4.

I was struck that it was clear, on the giant screen, that Karen Allen HAD aged a lot; but it doesn't look bad on her! Unlike those horrible plastic, waxy women with excessive plastic surgery who look inhuman, Karen looked like a genuinely sexy middle-aged woman!

All too often, our society equates "youth" with "beauty" when it comes to women. Here is an example of how a woman can have the signs of age and still be very beautiful. She's not beautiful because she has no wrinkles; she's beautiful because what wrinkles and signs of age she has, have not destroyed what is beautiful in her face.

Those eyes and that smile shine through. Plus her hair is lovely; even though I'm sure it's colored. At least it's thick and wavy.

More women in Hollywood should learn from Karen Allen. A beautiful woman who ages naturally is almost invariably superior to those who decide to look like a slightly melted wax parody of their former selves.

Without make up she shows her age. Much respect to her though
But that's my point.

Yes, she shows age. Moreso without makeup. But because of her features, she still has some attractiveness despite that - unlike a lot of people who think the ONLY way to look appealing is to look "young". (Which is why so many aging actresses and some actors get that ridiculous plastic look as opposed to showing age)
