Speaking of ages, I'll take this thread in a bit of a different direction. I was jarred to find cutie Patty Duke pay Meg Ryan's mom, as if she'd had the kid in junior high. Though her playing Alec Baldwin's mother-in-law was even more of a jolt, as she's only a dozen years older than him.

Guys are allowed to get fat. And bald. Sean Connery was still playing action roles in his 60s - AND getting girls 30 years younger than he was.
Women? They're harrassed if they're too skinny. They're harrassed if they're too fat. (Like, 5 pounds too fat.)
Is it any wonder women develop anorexia, and have those plastic surgeries, when they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

I don't think it's just double standards at work here, I also think it's Meg Ryan obviously having "work" done. I honestly think if she allowed herself to age naturally, she wouldn't look so strange now.

no. That does not, as a rule, happen.
What happens is that some people, obsessed with their own image, harass THEMSELVES in this manner, then pursue all sorts of diets, regimens and surgeries that rob them of their health and youth.
If someone is harassing you because you are 5 pounds too thin or too large, you need to find a better class of people with whom to comport yourself.
Seriously. -

I hate to say it, because women tend to be single out far too often for their looks, but Alec Baldwin has aged far better than Meg Ryan. Admittedly, I might not have said so fifteen years ago as Baldwin blew up quite quickly, but now that I have had over a decade of getting used to a rather chunky Alec Baldwin I can say that he still looks pretty darn good, and some men, John Travolta and Baldwin bring too such examples, do tend to wear that added weight quite well. Sadly Ryan hasn't aged gracefully and is the victim of bad plastic surgery. She'd be much more attractive allowing herself to get a little plump, like Baldwin, rather than messing up her face the way she has done.
