Growing up I
would run home from school every day to watch General Hospital. Over the last
twenty-five years while raising kids I’ve tuned in, sometimes regularly,
sometimes not. The beauty of soap operas is you can miss a year and still know
what’s going on…that’s the downfall too. They drag out story lines for way too
long.
As the 50th
anniversary approached there was quite the hype about returning stars. I looked
forward to seeing old faces, so for two weeks I recorded the show. I realize
Hollywood makes a big deal about actors and actresses getting older, but damn,
some of these actresses have had too much plastic surgery done.
I don’t get
it.
Why would
you want to go under the knife to the point you can barely smile? Or that you
look like you’re permanently smiling? Have they not seen what’s happened to other
actors?
Why can’t we
allow people to age gracefully? Why do we insist they need to fix themselves to
look ten, twenty years younger?
I know for
me the fear of looking like a plastic scary doll isn’t an option. I personally
couldn’t get the work done that these Hollywood types are.
What are
your thoughts?
