Wow, I really wonder what they see when they look in the mirror.

Granted, the last pics are pretty sad.
That said, she's in her 90s, she's been married to the same guy since 1962 (!) and if Hollywood in 2022 is tough on aging female talent, in her era it was merciless, and Lee Grant was a celebrated and award-winning actress. I'm giving her a pass.

Sorry for the double post, but I liked HWBL's idea and decided to offer up some male PS gone really, really, wrong. Mickey Rourke of course. Poor Barry Manilow. Well, Wayne Newton always looked creepy. He gave a great show in Vegas though. I saw him years ago and he brought down the house. The list just isn't complete without him. To be fair this probably wasn't plastic surgery - Sean Penn is just such an asshole his face reflects his personality and character.

Sean Penn is picture proof that your nose and ears never stops growing. The alcoholism and smoking probably doesn't help. What Mickey Rourke did to himself is tragic. People younger than a certain can't even believe it when I tell them he used to be hot. That first lady.... Holy fuckballs. Do people really think this frankenstein looking monstrosity is preferable to a few wrinkles?? People go way beyond face lifts these days. Then some even have the gall to call themselves "never having had PS or work done" if it's all been injectables.

Wayne Newton looks like a Fraggle Rock version of himself.

who the fuck is lee grant? she looks like every overly plastified d-list older actress in TV movies from the 90s kristin davis. i couldn't stop staring at her face in AJLT. so bad. so grotesque. and this photo doesn't even capture the full extent of it. nicole kidman. and the stills don't even capture the worst of it. in motion her face looks really distorted and weird and almost like she suffered burns or paralysis and had skin grafts. i wish i could find better GIFs.

I remember Lee Grant, and know she was in dozens of things but couldn't tell you what they were (until the wiki entry above) I also forgot about her daughter Dinah Manoff. I never watched Empty Nest but she was in the sitcom Soap, played Elaine who was in love with the priest. And yes, Lee Grant definitely went too far. I thought she was quite pretty in her prime.

Thanks for the Wiki entry, HWBL. She was a little before my time, but has had an amazing career by anyone's standard. The picture above is just because Sidney Poitier was so beautiful.

oh i remember her in mullholland drive. well her or any of the other older actresses who had a ton of work and kind of all look the same and you've seen them in stuff but you can't really place them or tell the apart because with every surgery they look more and more alike.

From my recollection, her role in "Shampoo" was Lee Grant's most significant and well known. She was the wife of a guy (Jack Warden) who is going to bankroll Warren Beatty's new hair salon. And Warden almost catches them in flagrante delecto when he's walking into the house, but they have the presence of mind to throw a towel around Grant and Beatty turns on a hairdryer, and when Warden burst through the door, they start frantically waving for him to leave because he's going to mess up the hair job. So, he pops out. She really was a beautiful, refined woman at one point. What has happened with her face, from these photos, is an absolute horror story. But she could be around 97 years old if you believe some of the estimates of her birth date.

In the movie Beatty's character is hairdresser to Jack Warden's businessman character's wife (Lee Grant), with whom he also - well - does other stuff than her hair, LOL. Meanwhile Warden's character has an affair with the hairdresser's ex (Julie Christie, hence the pretending to be needing the steam in the bathroom for her hair, when Warden pretty much walked in on them in the middle of the act). During all this Beatty's hairdresser character is in a relationship with another girl (Goldie Hawn) and Jack Warden and Lee Grant's daughter (Carry Fisher in her first screen role) sort of dares the hairdresser to have sex with her to prove that he's not gay, something like that. What I don't understand is why a woman nearing the age of 100 insists on trying to look like a Jennifer Anniston wannabe during her Friends years? This pic is from 2020!!!!!
