To be honest, just judging from the handful of photos here on site, I don't think she looks bad at all. I mean, if she was walking down the street towards you, would you cringe?
She is in her forties, though, and I think the big shock comes when you remember how truly beautiful she was as a young woman. So now she simply looks normal. Happens to all of us. Sigh. -

This woman looks awful because she hasn't taken care of herself. She was a notorious party girl back in the 1980s. Unfortunately, the excessive consumption of liquor and cigarettes ruined her looks. She already looked old and haggard by her early thirties. If you want proof, watch any film she made during the late 80s or early 90s. She looks truly hideous! It's a shame because she was one of the most attractive actresses of her generation: tall, great body and perfect facial features.Sure. Physical beauty fades with age, but Rachel accelerated the process by living a reckless, unhealthy lifestyle.

Take a pill, you guys. She's a 48-year-old mother of three. I think she looks fit and radiant. She probably just isn't hung up on spending tons of time and money on looking perfect forever like the rest of the actresses out there. I just watched the Jeff Bridges/James Woods commentary on the "Against All Odds" DVD and they spoke of her as being dedicated personally and professionally, also of Bryan Brown being supportive of her and that she chose to semi-retire to start a fam. Give her a break.

She had 3 kids, smoked a bit in past and drank a bit, so what do all of us look as good as she once did?
its easy to forget that 90% of actresses in hollywood go under the knife, perhaps this one didn't and therefore looks like everyone else, which is what any actress is anyhow, just like anyone else eat sleep and sh*t!
For whats its worth at 48 she certainly looks better than youre average woman, so quit dissing her! -

~ I find Rachel Ward has age, but she's still pretty
. Especially for her age
. Maybe not as beautiful since the 80's
. I hear Rachel smokes and I know for a fact that smoking makes your skin age faster.

I was a little surprised when I saw some recent pictures of her and an interview on the special feature of The Thorn Birds DVD. She's definitely not the same beautiful Meggie from the Thorn Birds. But then I realized that she really disappeared from the media after the mid 80's. So it's a shock to see her then and now. It wasn't a gradual change for us. But I don't think she's let herself go. She said she wab68nted to become an actress to meet a handsome actor to marry and make babies. She came from money so she didn't need to work. So she met Bryan and pretty well focused on her family after that. I know she's made some appearances but for all she's not living the glamorous Hollywood life. Therefore I think we should just remember how beautiful she was and not worry about how she looks now.

There's a difference though between looking aged and looking like there is a problem. THe pictures of her from the sydney film festival are shocking She looked like she was basically high or drunk.. The pictures from the event can be found at getty images. SHe looked terrible I just wonder if she is ill or something.

I think she is too thin-
At her age, if she gained some weight- I think she would look a lot healthier- Women in their 40's and 50's look older then they are if they are too thin-
In a lot of those Getty Image photos, it also appears that she does not have on makeup in the pics, In the ones where she is formally dressed with makeup, she looks a lot younger.
In addition, maybe it could be the photos themselves- some people are not photogenic- ie: look heavy, older, squatty whatever- I personally take terrible pictures NONE of them ever really look like me ( I hope ) : ) -

sorry but she is either ill, or there is perhaps a substance abuse problem those getty images she looks terrible, photos of her from several years back she looked great dressed nice, . Presently she looks like she has just let her appearance go down the toilet. No need for it, you can be mature and look beautiful she seems to be doing her damnest not too. I mean come one people open your eyes, something doesn't seem right.

no i agree. I just think somethings wrong. She looks the extreme opposite to what she use to until recently. Whether it's alchohol, drugs, personal problems or all of the above. Even in photos of her at formal events.

Had to add my two cents here - I just (August 05) had the pleasure of working with Rachell on a film in Thailand. In all honesty, she was totally charming, friendly, funny, smart and very beautiful. Sure, she isn't 30 anymore, but she carries herself extremely well, has a fantastic laugh and a vivacity that you don't find in a lot of actresses anymore. Everyone is allowed to have a few bad pictures once in a while.
