1. The miracles of botox, collagen

...and really good plastic surgeons!

3. In her case it appears to be done pretty tastefully...

at least compared to Melanie Griffith and others who have gone waaaaay overboard.

9. Like the poster below said

They probably didn't have to do too much work, just tighten her skin up a bit.

4. Yes, but it can only go so far... She has really good genes to work with...

16. you know there's a new super facelift these days

it's why Joan Rivers isn't resembling Ru'afo from Star Trek Insurrection anymore

they detach the muscles from the bone and lift those along with the skin

2. Still a lovely woman

5. Indeed. (n/t)

6. Looking good for 73

I'm ten years younger and literally falling apart. I first noticed her when I was a kid on the Hollywood Palace variety show in the 60s. She would come out on stage in a skimpy outfit to announce the next guests and was known simply as Raquel. In an amazing turn of events, her brief appearances on that show led to her stardom. On the show where she was just basically a beautiful decoration announcing the acts, she came back and became one of the featured acts herself.

8. Huh, I had no idea where she got her start...

and pretty much remember just the furry bikini and roles in the Musketeers movies.

7. she probably had some work done but most of it is genes

notice she still looks like herself. even the work she had done was probably little things and she wasn't trying to look 25 but rather what was possible for her.

also she still looks like herself but a little older. but doesn't have that horrible plastic surgery botoxed look that is so obvious in many other celebs . including ones much younger than her.

10. My mom is 74,

and looks NOTHING like that.

Shit, I'm 53, and I don't look like that. I look like I've lived a hard life, which I have; I've earned every wrinkle, scar, sag, and gray hair.

11. love her...

that dress leaves a bit to be desired though

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. hey, its OK you can say it out loud --

[sammytko]

17. well.....

I guess she deserves to wear whatever she wants I do like this look better

[Arugula Latte]

12. She looks a bit like Sofia Loren.

14. Suits me fine. (nt)

18. My friend in 6th grade had a big crush on her

while I was still trying to get over the "loss" of Emma Peel

[Aerows]

19. Wow

and she's still hotter than 99% of us ever will be. Good lord she is gorgeous.

20. something weird about that photo

Her arms are very tiny, her hands are huge in comparison and her legs are very stubby in comparison.

21. Could be the lens used.

A very wide-angle lens used up close would distort that way.
