Romantic movie star and L’Oréal Beauty spokesperson since 1986, Andie MacDowell , revealed that she feels more beautiful than ever at 64. The actress joins her peers in embracing aging rather than vilifying it, as the media did in the past.
Typically people in the entertainment industry (especially women) recoil when they grow older because older women weren’t revered as beautiful or deserving of roles. However, with the new era of women like Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and MacDowell, there’s a shift in that culture.
