i don't think she has - 'water drops' was almost 10yrs after unforgiven + true romance + Vera was supposed to look much older, and not as pretty, especially as she used to be a he. just good make-up i reckon.

This is the same Anna Levine? Man does she look different. If it werent for the same skinny arms and ample bosom I wouldn't believe it! And I always thought plastic surgery to change one's looks to where they couldn't be recognized was only in the movies. Now I see it for real. She is a different woman indeed!

Does anyone remember her (billed as Anna Levine) in Desperately Seeking Susan? She was Madonna's friend/roommate who was fired from the Magic Club for not being able to assist the magician without her glasses. Her hair was odd, it looked blue or almost purple rinsed like an old woman, though she was only about 30 then. Her breasts seem almost a large than as now ( I just watched Water Drops on Burning Rocks)so if she had them done, she didn't add THAT much. I also think, in Water Drops on Burning Rocks, she IS portraying a transsexual and her look is very much that free-base-injected-silicon-faced look that TOO MANY trans girls fall prey to. I would bet on really good makeup work on the film, AND that she was 45 then and probably had some colagen (lips, etc) and botox (like almost everyone at a certain age in film, and even real life) as for being rail thin, Anna Thomson was always somewhat thin.
I've always wanted to see her in a remake of Of Human Bondage she (as a blonde as she was in the old Tracey Ullman Show) has always remi111cnded me a great deal of Bette Davis pre-1940s. -

She has had more cosmetic surgery than any other actress I can think of. If you see pictures of her from the seventies and eighties it's like a whole other person. The most recent photo I saw of her in the new book by photographer Bettina Rheims (sic) is seriously scary. She looks like the transexual Amanda Lepore's older sister. She had a very original look and a delicate beauty before she went under the knife. Now she looks extremely artificial, very sad. But maybe she is happy, who knows?

I (and many others I am sure) do not give a flying FIG exactly WHAT she has had done. The fact remains that Anna is a fabulous entity and practitioner of the acting craft. I just saw her in Capote's "Other Rooms, Other Voices" for umpteenth time and if ever one wants to see realism (in Southern Gothic excess and eccentricity, that is) she supplies it here.
While we're on the subject. we ALL are born, ALL live, ALL age and ALL our bodies (vehicles for THIS life) die. If we fulfill our purpose and find our lessons in this plane, who cares what toll our "bodies" bear in the meantime?
A note on Anna Levine as an example of the actress with the most plastic surgery.. who's taken a look at Melanie Griffith (and A LOT of others) lately? Her mother, Tippi Hedren (The Birds, Marnie) is almost 80 and looks amazing and EXACTLY as she should and as good she did half a lifetime ago in Hitchcock's films. Her daughter looks like a Malibu KITCHEN EXPLOSION thanks to plastics. Though I like M. G. in some films, I think you guys should lay off Anna Levine. I b68mean, truly see the Capote film (for God's sake, who could be a NYC JEW and play a Southern Belle used and driven mad THAT well?) and Water Drops on Burning Rocks, she has always been and always will be amazing. Amanda Lepore, whom I have met, is also amazing (though in a very different way.) I still sort of don't get Jocelyn Wildenstein. -

Calm down, I think that she's a great talent too. I just think that she got a little carried away with the surgery. Granted, it is her body to do with what she likes. Actresses get surgery to hold back the clock because they feel that they're going to loose roles, but making yourself look like an experiment at Dupont gone awry is no way to keep the casting directors knocking.

I've only seen two movies that I recognized her in, The Crow and Unforgiven. She had one of the most beautiful pair of eyes I've ever seen. One has to wonder what happened in those 10+ years though, I don't think it's simply a case of not aging well, she looks completely different now most notably a hell of a lot skinnier.

She must have . . . I was just watching "Murphy's Romance" on Encore. Classic. But I saw her in a bit part and had to look her up as she looked familiar. I realize it's from "Unforgiven" and "the Crow," and based on the picture here at imdb.com it look5b4s nothing like her anymore.

Well of course she has - you don't think those scars from 'Unforgiven' were going to magically disappear by themselves, do you?
But seriously, it's sad to see what was such a sweet looking young woman looking so scarifying in later life. -

I heard that in addition to plastic surgery she has been battling an illness for about 15 years. This may have something to do with her appearance as well. I hope it is not true and that she is well and I wish her the best. I really enjoyed her in Angela.

The terrible plastic surgery she had may have been appropriate for playing a post-op transsexual, but it was an insurmountable distraction trying to watch her in 'Fast Food Fast Women'. Hideous. One of the worst face jobs I've seen, and the breasts look terrible in relation to the rest of her scrawny body. It actually makes her look older than she is, and infinitely less human.
