It's obvious to me that she's had work done on her face, but only because I saw pictures of her not too long ago that showed her true skin and features. Well, also because there is no 75-year-old who has such a smooth, wrinkle-free face naturally!

I don't know why, but she vaguely reminds me of the grandmother on The Waltons with her current look...must be the angle of her face in that particular shot or the pulled-back hair.

Not sure what an "Equestrian", or "Hamptons" look is supposed to be, but she looks nice for an elderly woman.

And since when is 75 elderly?


What age do you think qualifies as elderly?

mid 80s

That would probably mean 50 for most people {#emotions_dlg.scared}

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

How young is one supposed to look at 75?

Ali looks a lot better than some who don't know when to stop with the nipping and tucking.

Maybe it's the hairstyle but IMO she looks 85.

I think she has done some ""nipping and tucking"" to her face. She has more wrinkles in the other pictures. (posts 6 & 7)

I also think she's had some nipping and tucking done. But it seems like she knows when to stop. Some stars keep going and look anything but good or younger.

She looks great! I think, for a lot of the older baby boomers, letting our hair go gray IS "making a statement" just as much as coloring your hair makes a statement. One is not better than the other. It's how it makes you feel inside. For me, it is a freeing experience and I just like the way it makes me feel.

Just as a matter of fact - 75 is not a baby boomer - baby boomers were born between 1947 and 1964. Ali McGraw was born on 1939 - before WW11.

My DH was born during ww11 and he is not considered a baby boomer.

I guess I need to brush up on my history. I didn't pay much attention in history class and I'm afraid it shows. Thanks for the info. Smile

I can only where my hair like that if I put a fake bun or short curly ponytail at the crown and have some tendrils around the face. She seems to be able to pull it off pretty good.

Okay...waaay more years behind you (added a few more "a's").

I know that people in their late 60s through early 70s don't like to think of themselves as old or elderly or "seniors". However, in western countries, it is generally held that that chronological demarcation is reached when Social Security benefits begin, or even "senior citizen discounts."

It's not surprising that as a person ages, their own definition of what is "elderly" and what is "young" or "middle-aged" tends to creep up higher the closer they get to those benchmarks. However, there is no reason to get silly about it and start thinking that 60s, 70s or older is "young" or even "middle-aged." They just aren't, regardless of how "young" one feels. Your body is old, your bones are old, your internal organs are old. It's just what it is.

I think she looks beautiful.

I do think a different hairstyle would be more flattering.

She's beautiful in any look--a great beauty.

But I think dark hair is even better on her. jmo.

For sure, I agree the 60s aren't elderly, and the definition does change when we get closer to what we once thought of as old.

But, with fashion, makeup, hair coloring, fitness and healthy food, and medical advances, probably a lot of people are in better shape than someone their age 50 or more years ago.

For sure! I'd love to know how she go rid of the wrinkles.
