Who knew she was such a bad-ass?
And her point is well-taken. Actresses are constantly put in a damned-if-they-do, damned-if-they-don't position, criticized for aging gracefully or for taking measures to fight the aging process.
The new cry in the tabloid news—which, as the lowbrow individual I am, I follow—is that so-and-so is "unrecognizable."
Recognize this: We all change with time and even from year to year.
I am fond of a phrase Jane Austin sometimes uses regarding one of her heroines who, in Edwardian times, was considered a spinster, i.e. past 25 and unmarried.
The woman—whose spirits and physical glow have been dampened by disappointment and time—has a "second bloom." She moves again to the height of beauty and health.
It happened to every woman's favorite protagonist Elizabeth Bennet in "Pride and Prejudice," a story on which "Bridget Jones Diary" is loosely based. Proximity to fresh air and the excitement of matching wits with Mr. Darcy put some color in her cheeks.
With 42 looming, I'm ready for what I figure will be my seventh bloom! Here's to me looking recognizably unrecognizable.
