Transformations

Meg Ryan.

Such a shame, she was so pretty once.

Meg Ryan just looks creepy. That seems to happen to many women they become a life size Kewpie doll with bright makeup.

Hollywood MEN do it too, skip.

No doubt some Pollies do as well. It is all to do with EGO and a certain male party around these parts has probably had a nose job, or something.

I always thought that Barbra Streisand with the HUGE Jewish nose could have had a nose job. Or did she?

I have always been happy with my "looks". However, I have friends and rellies who have had boob jobs.

I am always pleased to see Hollywood "stars" grow old, gracefully. NOBODY stays young forever and it looks ridiculous. The recently Late Joan Rivers is one ........ 80-something and STILL trying to look like her grand daughter!

Maybe it's the hair, maybe it's the tan, the eyebrows, maybe she's older and that's the difference, but...
If anyone had asked me to name Renee from that photo I wouldn't have guessed it was her.
I am still waiting for someone to tell me it's a prank.
When I think of Renee I picture her like this...

I'd say Zellweger had a breakdown or decided she had enough of Hollywood and slotted in her bestie because "like, OMG, right, like everyone always says we look the same right? And like we should have been sisters right? So like, lets totally swap places and like, you can be me and we'll see if anyone notices! OMG like this will be the bestest trick evar and you will be totes famous like moi and we can like, hang me everything!"

I agree with Mantra on that one.
Renee Z' is looking like someone completely ...someone else.
Maybe this is a psychological by-product of people living their life by impersonating other people???

Renee, and the other's above - have obviously never discovered their 'true beauty', that which makes people love them for what they are and makes them famous. Then you have people littered all over with 'ink' stains.

Rob Lowe is definitely a winner with his looks. Him and Michael J Fox just ooze the Fountain of Youth naturally. Brad Pitt doesn't move his mouth enough when he talks. Looks like he has a patch of tobaccie in there somewhere.
Even as a guy, I can't deny Rob Lowe's 'beautiful' disposition ...just has a bit of an ugly past.

If you'd ever listened to her being interviewed or receiving awards IQS you'd know she is nothing like that. I'd always found her to appear; talented, competent, and down to earth.

Ol Meg Ryan.
A former 'sweetheart' of Hollywood that complimented the good guy of Tom Hanks well.
Very beautiful to look upon.
Respected and loved in Hollywood because of her 'burdened' marriage to alcoholic actor Dennis Quaid.
But then she met Russell Crowe...
...the affair made her suddenly 'bad' in the eyes of Hollywood and the movie offers just vanished for the 'Good Girl'.
Since then - well, look at the above to see how 'fabricated' she has become.

The Golden Girl actresses were Golden, not because of their 'looks' - but their abilities of acting and personalities.
Down the track - these women will be Golden Girls who aren't really Golden, but just a thin layer of Gold Leaf on the outside.

Lots of ordinary females (and males) have Botox ... apparently it isn't that expensive, apparently. Facelifts are another thing, you know when that happens as their eyebrows get that "I'm amazed" look. A bit like Monk (GeorgeH) with his use of exclamation marks. !!!

[Black Orchid]

The wind tunnel "I'm amazed" look is the result of a brow lift that has been stretched too tight.

Facelifts can be very flattering and will enhance the original face without changing it. The trouble is that some people just don't know when to stop and go way too far.

So true. Knew a Polish woman once, in a job. She was over 50, but she looked like 30 - but her movements and mannerisms betrayed otherwise. Its common for women of Poland and colder, darker climates to have wrinkle-free skin in their older years. A lot of white people don't understand that it took black people 'thousands and thousands' of years to genetically build up 'black skin' - it doesn't happen overnight after a day of sausage-sizzling on a towel on a beach. Doing that just accelerates the destruction of cellular growth in the skin. Saw a picture of some Mexican dude whose face on one half looked 30 years older as it was the side of the face that copped the sun too and from work each day during his 40 years of work.

...like Black Orchid said: The trouble is that some people just don't know when to stop and go way to far.
I'll add: Over-Achieving is just as bad as Under-Achieving.
