I can't understand why aging "stars" get plastic facial surgery. They usually look ridiculous. Everyone knows that they're old, so why would they make themselves look ridiculous?

Of course, I still look like I'm twenty-five, so that's not a concern for me. 😁

You surely look old for being 25.

Tell them you're 90 - then they will tell you how young you look

I guess if you have the money and your self worth is tied to your looks, you go that route...the Joan Rivers effect. I just saw a photo of 85-year-old Jane Fonda and like a similarly aged Cher, it looks like she's had so many face lifts she's now sporting a permanent smile...or grimace, if you prefer.

I've always thought that Raquel Welch who recently passed still looked great as she aged from her 70s to 80s. She claimed she never had any work done. Speaking of Cher, here's a musical song done by the duo from 1975:

After looking at my records during my last physical, the doctor and nurse expressed their astonishment I was 75. "Looking at you I would have guessed early 60's" they said.

As I thanked them I thought to myself, "Jeez; when did I ever think I'd take that as a compliment?!"

Same pic in same truck for a dozen years, Jerry. I bet both you and truck now look worse for wear.

As Phyllis Diller once said... "I have had so many facelifts, if I have one more I will be sporting a goatee." Then she would let out her famous laugh.

Miss that comedian.

I still feel 25, every day, as long as I don't see a mirror!!!

Yes, mirrors can be shocking.

People with facelifts often have a perpetually surprised look on their faces.

I walked around Beverly Hills some years ago. Someone suggested eating at Nate'n Al's when we were visiting LA. By the way, Larry King was eating in the back, but I dare not approach him. I saw some women walking around whose faces looked grotesque from plastic surgery, like they could really scare children. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, the injected "duck lips", the cheeks that look like golf balls, the Botox droop and skin that doesn't look like actual skin. It's unbelievable that people do that to themselves, and it's not just stars in Hollywood. I was on a plane once sitting near a woman who looked about 30 until she turned her head. Then her whole face wrinkled like crumpled up paper.
