Jennifer simply ages like fine wine, she’s in her mid 50s, yet she still looks gorgeous. She and Lily Collins look like they could be related, which is probably why they were cast as mother and daughter in a movie.

  Jennifer and Jodi Foster both look even more beautiful somehow as they age.

I loved the scene of the baby scene in The Beautiful Mind where she took the stance that it’s enough and enough ❤

She’s also wonderful in Argento’s Phenomena, was that before or after Labyrinth?

Surprised she didn’t discuss Career Opportunities. That mechanical horse scene was a pivotal moment in the history of cinema.

I pretty much grew up with her and still recall seeing the poster for Career Opportunities in a Greenwich Village Cinema where I guess I was seeing something more serious and thought “isn’t she that model turned actress or whatever doing more fluff…” How wrong I was. Requiem for a Dream was transformative and over the years she’s become one of my favorite actresses. Seeing her stunning green eyes and contrasting black hair I thought she must be this generation’s Elizabeth Taylor: but without the drama or weight gain. A stunning beauty ageing with such grace.

Very disappointed that they didnt cover The Rocketeer, Career Opportunities, Blood Diamond. She’s had some great roles.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
