Oprah Winfrey welcomed to her show actresses Cybill Shepherd ("Moonlighting"), Linda Evans ("Dynasty") and Teri Hatcher ("Desperate Housewives") to discuss the issue of aging, beauty and what our society says to women as they grow older.Teri Hatcher says of her now-infamous no-make-up pictures that circulated on the internet, "You feel like: 'Isn't that the person you want to be loved? That's the friend ... that's the partner I want to be in a relationship. That's the mom I want to be. Really, that's what's important."
"Listen, I love looking at all the glamorous pictures. That's fun too," she continues. "I think if we can accept the truth behind it and reveal the mystery, then we can enjoy both things."
Cybill Shepherd chimes in: "When I was on seven covers of Glamour magazine and I'd walk by all those newsstands every month and see my picture, I would go home and look in the bathroom [mirror] and go: 'How did this happen to me? Why don't I look like that cover?' I had this wonderful success. At the same time, that retouched image is a lie."
"What you look like has nothing to do with what you think about yourself, and that's where we get confused," says 1980s star Linda Evans. "The outside has nothing to do with the inside. And the thing that's so mysterious to me is everything we're basing our value on is outside of us."

I think this interview by Oprah is what the world is missing. A realization that our idolization of celebrities has created an image that is impossible even for the A listers to maintain. Our socieity needs to once again understand that natural beauty is truly more attractive and seductive then hollywood perfection. The Japanese have an understanding of perfection that goes beyond our westernization of the concept, they call is Wabi-Sabi. In this concept, an object is aesthetically perfect only through the acceptance of it's imperfections.
The aesthetic industry is not evil at it's core, but the problem is that most doctors and technicians don't understand that indivudualy differences and imperfections are the reasons for true beauty. It is rare to find someone who understnads this and is able to utilize today's technology to focus on the maintenece of one's natural beauty as we age, the only person I know who has perfected this is Dr. Arnold Klein. He truly finds perfection through one's individual differences and imperfections. He understands that true beauty is within, yet has also been able to maintain my outer beauty and slow the process of aging. He has never tried to make me conform to someone elses description of beauty, and I respect that.
