Is it me - or does Jodie look like she's been rode hard and put up wet (as my Dad used to say)? Jeez

She is a lesbian, so I don’t think rode applies. She is not much of an actress anyway, so bless her and her oscars

She is a woman in her 60s who, at a young age, dealt with the media hounding her for something she had no control over.

Let her be.

She looks like herself, which means she looks better than most of us.

No. That expression is used to describe whores. Foster doesn't look like a whore.

I think she looks fantastic. I just watched “Nyad” and was really impressed by her bangin bod - she clearly spends a lot of time in the gym.

I’ve seen her in person. Recently. She looks good! No obvious surgery, good skin and really nice hair color.

Jodie, why haven't you returned my calls?

Jeez. She could at least shave. Fuzzy cheeks favor no lady.

She's an exceptional actress.

I’ve loved and admired her since I was 10-12 yrs old. She’s beautiful, interesting and intelligent. Always

I think she always looks together, classy and smart. On a visual sidenote per the post's topic, though -- does she no longer have the very pointed, alien-like chin that she used to sport?

She looks GREAT! What's your problem, OP?

OK - I am overruled. All of these comments are valid. Maybe I'm jealous. She's 2 years younger than me and looks way better.

Clarice, are the lambs still screaming?

[quote]She is not much of an actress anyway, so bless her and her oscars. R1, who would you consider a good actress?

2 years younger than I (look) OP.

One of the few actresses who hasn't succumbed to a lot of fillers/botox/plastic surgery. But keep in mind she has access to the best derms, facialists, skincare, and nutritionists. unlike we poor peons.

Her acting always seems very wooden to me.

My favorite thing she's done was direct Home for the Holidays.

I've always thought she was very attractive, but I think it's fair to say she looks a tad wizened and pinched now. This is no doubt a result of being so lean. To paraphrase Catherine Deneuve, after a certain age a woman has to choose between her ass and her face.

She's no Priscilla Presley, that's for sure.

Very unnatural, her naturalness.

Typical lesbian. Manly features.

[R19] The expression is, “Your face or your fanny!”

Her skin above her upper lip looks like she has smoker’s lines (vertical).

She’d look incredible for her age if she was 10 pounds heavier. The wizened look is lack of fat.

She's 61. How do you expect her to look? Like a 30 year old?

At least she doesn't chase after youth, undergoing awful plastic surgery like Meg Ryan.

I hope she's smart enough not to smoke but maybe R23 is right.

I think she looks pretty much the way most 60-year old women look who haven't had much, if any, work done. You can tell, though, by those telltale lines around her mouth that she was or still is a smoker.

Okay, well then smoking is going to take a toll on her looks.

She used to be gorgeous. Now she looks like a sourpuss lez. Still pretty though.

She's 61. She looks fine to me. The best-looking 61 year old? No. But hardly terrible.

[Quote] I think she always looks together, classy and smart.

here she is on a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel

You can get those vertical lip lines even if you never smoked.

Definitely see the smoker's lines in R30's video. If she put on 20 pounds, she'd look better. Too thin.

[quote]Is it me - or does Jodie look like she's been rode hard and put up wet (as my Dad used to say)? Jeez

This is what 61 looks like without excessive amounts of face altering plastic surgery OP. It's obviously a shock to you.

I think she's pretty and kind of dignified looking. We just aren't used to seeing celebrities without filters, fillers, and just aging naturally.

[quote]I just watched “Nyad” and was really impressed by her bangin bod - she clearly spends a lot of time in the gym.

Chose her ass over her face.

[quote]“Your face or your fanny!”

Lesbians will take the fanny every time, surely?

She looked good on Kimmel. She looks her age but very nice and trim. When she was speaking about Taxi Driver she said Scorsese and De Niro were newbies to film and she had made so many more movies than they had at that time.

OP is a fucking idiot. She looks good for her age, and is maturing nicely, without any indication of plastic surgery.

She grew up in Southern California and was exposed to gigawatts of sunlight, plus she began her career with an ad for Coppertone, so the sun exposure alone would wreck many peoples' faces. That said, she looks fine, and if she wanted to look different she'd wear more makeup.

I saw her at a q&a a few years ago and was surprised at how warm and funny she was with the audience. She always seemed like the cold intellectual type to me but she was a total goofball. And she looked fantastic.

If she’d had too much plastic surgery, we’d be complaining. Tom Cruise is also 61 and look what we have to say about him. Now we’re complaining that she’s too wrinkled i.e. natural. Also, she’s too thin, too smart, too cold.

I’ve always liked her. She’s exactly my age and so I feel like I grew up with her.

A facelift wouldn't kill her.

Gosh, I think she looks better as she ages--and less sharp, more approachable.

No, R43. It could be disastrous.

I'm about 2 months younger than Jodie and I think she looks great! IThank God she hasn't ruined her face with damned fillers like so many others (women AND men) in Hollywood. That shit makes someone look like an alien 👽

People can still look decent in their early 40s if they take care of themselves. After 50, everyone looks like the wreck of the Hesperus.

Brazil is an extreme satire as is "Network". How depressing is it to recognize our society resembles the outrageous scenarios in these films.

I watched The Brave One, Foster never looked or behaved more dykey than ever. It was distracting. I thought she was a good actor but she cant play straight.

I want to see her and Jamie Lee Curtis in a project together. They both have the same strong energy.

She looked great in that Kimmel interview. She’s a very interesting person.

She didn’t use Coppertone as a child.

[quote] I want to see her and Jamie Lee Curtis in a project together. They both have the same strong energy.

Jamie Lee is incredibly try-hard and needy. I think Jodie would want to kick her, like the famous wounded bird.

and discusses being scared of Lucille Ball @4:30 in the clip at R30

[quote] That said, she looks fine, and if she wanted to look different she'd wear more makeup.

She should tint her eyebrows darker. Her face would look less washed-out.

She should also depilate the lower half of her face. That is more than peach fuzz. That is a beard.

At 61, she's overly wrinkled before her time.

she's my sister's age, and like a good old dyke like she is, she loves the sun and riding on her motorcycle

The balkan population of datalounge doesn't know what "rode hard and put away wet" means

She was much more butch as a child. I thought she was a boy in “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” except her name was Audrey.

What a dumb bitch, she's aging too gracefully!

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore is a great movie and totally different than the TV series. Ellen Burstyn is fantastic in it. And anyone who saw Jodie’s performance would have known that she was a lesbian.

She looks dessicated there, like she's out of estrogen. She always had a masculine chin. Please don't follow the Jamie Lee Curtis/Shirley MacLaine indulgently apathetic path to aging hideously! A little TLC would make her lovely.

She looks like a senior woman who hasn’t been touched by a cosmetic surgeon. She looks great.

Marilyn Monroe also had that peach fuzz, and it's actually a boon to actresses: it makes their skin seem to glow in movies.

Jodie has eschewed fillers and Botox throughout her career: she's comfortable with her skin looking the way it does. She would likely look fabulous if she had good subtle work done, but that's just not who she is: she's happy being a no-nonsense lesbian who happens to have fabulous cheekbones.

[quote] A facelift wouldn't kill her.

They're incredibly painful and require weeks of care. Why should she have one just to please you? It's not like she's wanting for work or money.

Have Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster ever been seen together?

She's 61. No spring chicken, as my mother used to say. And she looks fine. Would you prefer her with huge fake lips and a winter's supply of nuts stored in her cheeks?

She looks great- like a real, healthy good looking 60 plus year old. Great that she’s stayed away from face altering procedures.

In DL you just cannot win. Would love to see a pic of the OP!

OP I think you need your eyes checked. Jodie is an amazing actor and a good director. She's been doing it almost her entire life. She also is one smart cookie. She speaks French fluently and has a degree from Yale.

I think she looks amazing, is fit as f*ck and HELL YES I STILL WOULD.

Yes I know she and I are both married, but she's on the exception list.

Il n'est pas rare qu'un diplômé de l'Ivy League parle très bien français. Bien sûr, Jodie parle un français impeccable, avec un accent neutre. Les acteurs savent comment y parvenir.

I only thought she did Becky Thatcher in that Sherman Bros Tom Sawyer musical. Did she do something else?

[quote] She's no Priscilla Presley, that's for sure.

I'd rather be Jodie Foster than Priscilla Presley.

I think her starting out so young really helped her understand the part an actor plays in telling a story. As a character especially a lead you have a big responsibly to the story. Many actors want to shine and win Oscars and act in movies the director is not making. She understood as a child you are pushing the story. That's why Gene Siskel believed her to be a genius. A perfect example is her likely competitor for an Oscar this year Emily Blunt who in every scene but one in Oppenheimer was acting for herself not the story. She did that in that awful Girl on Train movie she made. She was just constantly breaking down trying to win an Oscar and I never understood her character's motivation towards the story. Funny enough she was playing a messy drunk in that too. She just picked that character back up.

She looks fine. Not every woman in their 60s needs to look like a slab of plaster like Madonna or Kris Kartrashian.

Tommy in "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" was lucky to find a cool lesbian pal in Tucson.

I love Foster in the scene at the jail, after Audrey (r/n Doris).and Tommy get caught shoplifting. Tommy is wearing a borrowed shirt because he threw up on his after having too much ripple. Audrey/Doris has a brief conversation with Alice--"so you're the singing waitress?"--and then just before her mother "Ramada Rose" pulls her out the door of the police station, she leaves everyone with a parting "So long, suckers" salute.

Charlotte Rampling also avoided the knife.

Charlotte Rampling and Jodie should team up for the Holland Taylor/Sarah Paulson Lifetime movie.

Even in old age those two actresses would never be thought of as Lifetime level

It was a joke, R89. They are leagues beyond Lifetime level (great phrase, by the way).

I don't know how much French she is speaking nowadays, but the lines at the side of her mouth are very typical of French people, who need to use the muscles around their mouths to pronounce certain sounds and often get those lines.

Are we sure that isn't a picture of Maureen McCormick at OP?

I do think she’s had a necklft, perhaps.

At least Jodie has some class still, unlike 99% of the females in the entertainment industry.

Famously bitchy incompetent network execs: Lifetime.

She looks great and natural for her age. I'm glad she hasn't caved in and had even "tasteful" work. I think she'd look great with an extra 10 lbs on her, but I don't think she's ugly because of that at all. And hopefully, she's happy with her life and doesn't starve herself or work out like a fiend. She's earned the right to not stress out about that.

Leave her alone. And make her an example of why it's okay to not cut your face up/fill it with shit just to fit some weird Hollywood beauty aesthetic.

^She really is a Hollywood success story that should be celebrated. She learned along the way and did things right. That's why she is so beloved by not only her peers but the general public. Everyone like and respects Jodie.
