Michelle Pfeiffer on her 51 years old, she looks luminous and beautiful especially on her new film, Cheri, she plays as the older woman seducing a younger man.
Today, she told Parade that, when it comes to age defining love, times have changed. As a mother of two children, Claudia Rose, 16, and John Henry, 15, she has some worries about things such as internet.
“I think the Internet has changed everything and makes parenting a lot harder. I had really strong feelings about YouTube because my kids were sort of posting things on it. Finally I realized, ‘Who am I kidding? This not going away. This is the world they live in so you just better join up instead of resisting it.’ But a lot of it’s so unknown and therefore scary and threatening. My kids have never given me any reason not to trust them when they’re surfing on the Web. But I worry about what they’re going to inadvertently stumble upon. You Google something and strange things pop up.”
She recalls her change from child to become a beautiful lady. She has her own time in transformation.
“I was a real big tomboy when I was growing up. My teacher used to write on my report card, ‘Michelle is one of the biggest girls in class,’ like it was some compliment to me. All I really wanted to be was one of the petite little girls. But my mother always cut my hair in pixies and there was nothing feminine about me. Finally, I decided to enter a beauty pageant where one of the judges was a talent agent. I didn’t win, but it got me my first acting job and I started accepting myself.”
Beauty is a bless from God, and in the world today, being beauty is sometihing you have had and learn to be. Arrgh…beauty only skin deep, inner beauty is heart deep. Too much pressure for the youth these days to be beautiful. A wise parents are needed to explain the bomabard of beauty image.
“I guess it was always there, but it’s gotten even worse. When I was growing up, I never saw a Vogue magazine. I didn’t know what that was. You didn’t have Project Runway on television. It’s very difficult for young girls to navigate their way through all that brainwashing. It’s coming at you from every direction — television, magazines, billboards. It’s coming at you from everywhere. And you start to believe it.”
For some woman, passing age 50 has changing their life and look. And David E. Kelly‘s wife has her own perception.
“I did a little math and I realized it would be happening while we were filming Cheri. I thought, ‘OK, I guess I’m heading into the eye of the storm here. Life has presented this to me for a reason.’ The odd thing was that my birthday came, and my birthday went, and nothing happened. I turned 50 and my face didn’t fall off and there was no added droopage, and my butt was still in the same place. I do find it kind of fascinating that my leading men tend to get younger the older I get. I’m not really sure what that means.”
