The most beautiful older women at the Oscars are the ones who...

…are aging with grace and pride.

It's so sad to see Kim Novak and others who have mangled their faces with elective surgeries. I don't see the men doing that. Why do women do that to themselves?

In your opinion, what makes the older women most beautiful?

There is a grace and elegance with women who are natural with aging.

There's charm at every age. It's probably worthwhile for folks to consider that fact.

Some of the older women who've elected extensive cosmetic procedures must be doing it purely for vanity since many of them are really not vying for parts these days anyway, it seems. Even if they were, there's no way they're going to pass themselves off as ingenues or starlets... I don't have a problem at all with reasonable, limited cosmetic procedures, but some clearly work out better than others.

I fully embrace what both of you believe. The loveliest older women have let nature take its course. After all, she knows what she is doing. To try to maintain "the look" of your youth is a fruitless endeavor. Your age shows, no matter how you try to disguise it. If you have good genes, hurrah! But they are from Mother Nature.

Meryl Streep was SO VERY beautiful when young, and today she is aging natural and is still so beautiful.

To name just two Judi Dench and June Squibb (actress up for nomination for Nebraska - I think that is her name. Theses Ladies are older and look beautiful compared sadly to Lisa Minelli and Kim Novak.

I have nothing against a LITTLE surgery to perhaps make you look a little better, but like yourself. Don't get these beautiful women turning themselves into unrecognizable wax museum faces. I've seen pictures of actresses and others that I don't even know who they are until I read the caption. Used to be good plastic surgery made you like a "refreshed" version of yourself.

When your smile lines run horizontal you're plastic surgeon should be sued.

I knew June Squibb was an older actress but I never would have guessed she was 84, she looks wonderful. By the way, Kim Novak is 81. At first I thought Liza looked good i think her face does)until I saw her bra less look, couldn't anyone close to her tell her?

It must be very difficult to age in Hollywood. It's a different "neighborhood" than most of us live in. I'm not going to say anything negative about anyone for doing anything they think they needed to do for their self esteem or career.

I will say that some look better than others, without naming names, that's for sure. I also think actresses are sometimes damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Yes. It has to be especially difficult in the world of the young and beautiful, but do they really think they're fooling anyone?

I couldn't tell that was Lisa Minelli. The lesson here, I believe, is when having work done, LESS IS MORE.

I suspect that many of those aging naturally are actually those who have the best genes along with the most skilled and most artistic surgeons.

Probably not. Maybe they just want to feel better about what they see in their own mirror. I dunno.

You also don't see men criticising other men for such foolishness. What one woman does with her own body is her business and hers alone. Don't forget older women in the entertainment business have challenges and body image issues that we, thankfully, do not have. So, if plastic surgery boosts their self esteem or helps them get jobs, so be it. If they are happy with results, who are we to criticize?

Never would have recognized Kim Novak. She still would have been a beauty if not for her terrible surgery. How sad. Maybe Meryl Streep and others have had ""procedures "" too but minimal using a skilled surgeon. Let's not forget Helen Mirren. Wow. I hope I can age naturally and healthy enjoying every step of the journey.

I watched an interview this Sunday morning with Eva Marie St. She is well into her 70's or more.

She is beautiful! She has never had anything done to her face. The young man asked her about that. She said her family a long time ago asked her not to do anything to her face and she agreed.

She is so graceful and so beautiful.
