That we are all destined to grow old and grey is an immutable fact of life (for now, at least, who knows what the future holds in technology and science).
It doesn’t matter how much money we have, how strictly we control our diet or exercise, how much sleep we get, or what we do for a living — we may age differently, but in the end we are all headed in the same direction. It’s basic biology and not something we can do much about.
Which is why it’s somewhat amusing that we can still be shocked when we see the hand of Father Time working its magic. Perhaps you haven’t seen someone for years, only to be taken aback by how much they’ve aged? Or you spot an old movie star you remember from your childhood, only to find that their hair is white and their youthful exuberance is gone.
It’s an interesting thing, actually, the way celebrities age. Their appearances change as they get older — just like any human being — but their journey toward old age is documented for the entire world to see. From film to film and red carpet to red carpet, they leave a trail that can literally be followed.
Now, time for today’s not-so-subtle segue: who remembers Meg Foster?
Meg Foster over the years
Of course you do! With her captivating icy blue eyes, piercing gaze, and striking beauty, how could you forget?
The American actress made her acting debut alongside Michael Douglas in Adam at 6am (1970), later starring in numerous projects including The Six Million Dollar Man, Bonanza, The Twilight Zone, and Murder, She Wrote. Once a rising talent and in-demand actress, Foster’s star has gradually faded from the spotlight over the past two decades. These days she looks nearly unrecognizable compared to the woman whom Mademoiselle magazine once described as having “the eyes of 1979”.
I mean, that’s hardly surprising since she is now 76 years old, but it appears that people on the internet simply cannot grasp just how much she has changed. We’ll be honest — some of the comments are borderline cruel, while others simply reinforce the idea that the actress looks nothing like she once did.
That said, we believe her decision to age naturally — without resorting to the plastic surgery that has become so common in the film and TV industry — deserves to be commended rather than criticized.
In any case, Foster continues to work in film and television and reportedly breeds horses on a large ranch she owns herself.
Do you remember Meg Foster? What do you think of how she looks now? Let us know in the comments.
