Felicity Kendal , 76, was the talk of the internet in 2021 following her smooth facial appearance from Botox fillers. The actress revealed that she doesn’t care what anyone thinks about her appearance, as her motive differs from what people think.
Getting Botox Fillers
Kendal wrote a piece for The Times explaining that looking presentable is the end goal. She’s aware the industry pressures women to look younger and pits them against each other, but that doesn’t bother The Good Life actress.
Fillers Not Facelifts
Kendal distinguished between getting a facelift and fillers saying she’s never had the former but dabbles with the latter. She got Botox since her sixties although the actress claimed she stopped in the early 2010s before continuing in the late 2010s.
Looking Good Is Good Manners
The English actress described looking good as “good manners” rather than vanity based on nuggets from her mother. Kendal doesn’t understand why people fussed over her Botox injection and subsequent advocacy.
