When I was a kid, I thought Brooke Adams was the hottest thing going


Especially when she was all naked and I was 13. But man, when she got old, her looks dried up like she was being absorbed by a pod. I saw her on Monk with her hubby, Tony Shahloub, and oof, her looks had faded.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Generally happens when you reach 67. But I do think she is hot in this movie.🐭

reply

She was not the hottest in her time, she still loses to Bo Derik, Jane Seymour, and Erin Grey. The 1970s was a real era of sexiness in no small part to the fact that it took place BEFORE shaving off pubic hair became common. Back then most women had full triangles of pubic hair. I hate the modern trend of shaving it off.

reply

You've seen Jane Seymour and Erin Grey's pubic hair have you? Lucky man. (And you'd probably Seymour grey now than back then)

What possesses people to post things like this? Love to know what jgroub looks like.

Unbelievable.

Ah, yes, the school of "don't criticize if you're not better" shows up to make a feeble argument. I suppose IMDb should just dry up and blow away, then? Just like Brooke Adams' looks?

I don't think that was the argument. It's more like, what point are you trying to make? That people look different when they get old? Colour me amazed! Let's all insult them, because that would make for a fascinating discussion!

reply

All I'm saying is - and yes, it's petty, it's mean, it reflects badly on myself - is that she aged notably worse than other Hollywood stars. I mean, there's aging, and there's aging. She looks like the cryptkeeper warmed over.

tragic, that's why you should only be serious about women 20 years younger

At least Brooke had a prime, some people can't even say that. And, besides, she was pushing friggin' 70 when the OP posted. I guess he hasn't learned about AGE yet.

Nevertheless, her face in this movie is exquisitely sculptured and a pleasure to view -- eyes, nose, chin, cheeks, lips and teeth.

She was gorgeous in this film. She also had a bubbly personality. Absolutely the sort of lady you'd do your best to save during an Alien invasion.

Her death scene is one of the best in Horror history in my opinion.
