That we are all destined to grow old and grey is an immutable fact of life (for now, at least, who knows what the future holds with regards to technology and science).
It doesnโt matter how much money we have, how strictly we control our diet or exercise, how much sleep we get, or what we do for a livingโฆ sure, we might ageย differently,ย but in the end weโre all headed in the same direction. Itโs basic biology, and not something we can do too much about.
Which is why itโs somewhat amusing that we can still be shocked when we see the hand of Father Time working its magic. Perhaps you havenโt seen someone for years, only to be taken back by how much theyโve aged? Or you spot an old movie star you remember from your childhood, only now their hair is white, their youthful exuberance gone.
Itโs an interesting thing actually, the way celebrities age. Their appearances change as they get older โ just as with any human being โ only their path to old age is documented for the whole world to see. Be it from film to film, red carpet to red carpet, they leave a trail one can literally follow with their finger.
Now, time for todayโs not-so-subtle segway: who remembers Meg Foster?
Meg Foster over the years
Of course you do! With her captivating, icy blue eyes, piercing gaze and raw beauty, how could you not?
The American actress made her acting debut alongside Michael Douglas inย Adam at 6amย (1970), going on to star in numerous projects includingย The Six Million Dollar Man, Bonanza, The Twilight Zoneย andย Murder, She Wrote.
Once a burgeoning talent and in-demand actress, Fosterโs star has steadily shrunk from the limelight in the last two decades. These days she looks virtually unrecognizable from the woman whoย Mademoiselleย magazine said had โthe eyes of 1979โ.
I mean, thatโs hardly a surprise given that sheโs now 76 years old, but it appears that people on the internet simply canโt grasp just how much sheโs changed. Weโll be honest, some of the comments to be found are borderline cruel, while others simply reinforce the idea that the actress looks nothing like she did.
That said, we think that her decision to age naturally โ without resorting to the plastic surgery that has become so commonplace in the film and TV industry โ should be commended, not lambasted.
In any case, Foster continues to work within film and TV, as well as reportedly breeding horses from a large range which she owns by herself.
Do you remember Meg Foster? What do you think to how she looks now? Let us know in the comments.
