Nice! She's always been beautiful. Wow, 75! If I make it that far I think I'd be glad to let the hair go to grey/white. Mine will actually be white, judging by the few white hairs I have currently.

Also love the Ali & Ryan pic.

I still remember seeing Love Story in the movie theater, eons ago. I arrived just after the beginning so I didn't even know what was going to happen. That was actually kind of cool, as I just saw their story unfolding with no prior knowledge of where it went or how it ended.

I think the hair color and hair style are terribly aging on her.

She looks fantastic & I love the natural look with the gray hair! I tried covering my gray hairs once & hated the look, so never again. Right now, it's salt & pepper with a shock of white at my left temple.

It's hard to believe she's 75. Where does the time go? Hope she's healthy and happy with her natural tresses.

That photo of Ali and Ryan is beautiful.

I was surprised that she is 75 too. I didn't think she was that much older than me. As for her grey hair - she is still beautiful. However, for me there will be no grey - ever. She wears grey well - I would not.

Seeing the pics of her and Ryan, I think the 'granny bun' looks awful. She needs to let down her beautiful hair. Or at least let a few pieces fall around her face in a messy bun.

I saw the pic.'s yesterday and I think she looks wonderful and is embracing the new stage in her life. Katherine Hepburn always looked beautiful with the gray bun. Sometimes her bun was a bit messier than other times.

I think she looks fabulous. One day I plan on letting my gray show. But I'm not quite there yet.

As soon as I retire, I'm letting it go grey---if I don't like it I can always go back. I'm at the point where I am getting it colored every 3 weeks---and even that is now not enough--it is less than a week since I got it done and I can see the grey starting at my part (I have the old Ali McGraw color and look--but just got it cut on Saturday). I'm getting close to need dying every 2 weeks and I just can't see that and won't succumb to it---all that dye and all that money. So I'm about 21 months from retiring--that's about 30 more hair dyes until I start the "go grey" process---and that's $1800 in just my hairdresser's dying charges, does not include the cut and tip. Ouch! So, if I "go grey" and stay grey, I'll save over $1000 a year in retirement---that's money I can put in my travel budget---way more important to me than "grey-less" hair. My mother had pretty grey hair so fingers crossed mine is just as nice as her's was.
