Growing old and getting grey is a fact of life that we all face, regardless of how much money we have, how well we eat, how much we exercise, or how much sleep we get. We might age differently, but in the end, we all follow the same path. It’s just basic biology, and there’s not much we can do to change it.
That’s why it’s a bit amusing when we’re surprised by the effects of aging. Maybe you haven’t seen someone for years and are shocked by how much they’ve aged, or you notice an old movie star from your childhood now has white hair and has lost their youthful look.
It’s fascinating how celebrities age. Their appearance changes just like anyone else’s, but their journey to old age is captured for the world to see. From film to film and red carpet to red carpet, you can literally trace their aging process.
Now, let’s talk about today’s topic: who remembers Meg Foster?
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 in Adam at 6am (1970), going on to star in numerous projects including The Six Million Dollar Man, Bonanza, The Twilight Zone and Murder, She Wrote.
Once a burgeoning talent and in-demand actress, Foster’s star has steadily shrunk from the limelight in the last two decades. These days she looks virtually unrecognizable from the woman who Mademoiselle magazine said had “the eyes of 1979”.
I mean, that’s hardly a surprise given that she’s now 76 years old, but it appears that people on the internet simply can’t grasp just how much she’s changed. We’ll 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 – without resorting to the plastic surgery that has become so commonplace in the film and TV industry – 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.
