It’s a misconception that beautiful Julie Christie is one of the “all natural” Hollywood beauties foregoing the surgeon’s knife in favor of a natural aging process.
However, ten years ago she astonished fans when she admitted she’d had a face-lift.
She is quoted as saying: “In America, people who are older than you appear to be younger,” she said. “It is really undermining. You know they are older than you, yet you look like their mother.”
“There is such an emphasis on looks. I know what I look like – then I look in the mirror and don’t look like the person I think I look like. We are all dealing with changes in that way, over a certain age. We watch our skin change, and I don’t think that is such an easy thing to do.”
Would she consider more plastic surgery?
“I am tempted every time I look in the mirror,” she says. “You want your familiar face back when you see all the lines around your chin, neck, eyes, mouth, your bloody arms and everything else.”
Fortunately for the Academy Award winning actress her face lift didn’t leave her looking weird and plastic.
I’d sure as hell like the name of her surgeon. He could be giving lessons to more than a few of the aging stars who have undergone plastic surgery hoping to hold off Father Time, only to discover they may be holding off the wrinkles but their faces are now frozen and macabre.

In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Demi Moore commented: “Look, I would be lying if I said I don’t have moments of panic when I look in the mirror and see things creeping in that weren’t there before, but now I stop, and instead of focusing on my flaws, I think about all that I have in my life.”
Those rewards are not only tangible, she says, but human: “I have a wonderful marriage, I have three wonderful daughters, I have an incredible extended family, and I have loving, wonderful friends.“
As a result, she says, “when I look back in the mirror, the reflection I see isn’t so bad, because I’m seeing the beauty of my whole being and my whole life.”
I think Demi’s been spending too much time at the damm mystic Kabbalah Centre (a controversial California-based organization which alleges that it teaches Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism) she and Ashton frequent.
The famous sky high salary actress of “Ghost” fame needed to spend hundreds of thousands on plastic surgery only to discover what any mature woman could have told her.

It’s been reported that Demi Moore has spent nearly $300,000 on plastic surgery a few years back to “update” everything from her sagging knees (a must have if you’re into going under the knife!), to breast implants, collagen injections and liposuction on her hips, thighs and stomach.
The buff and beautiful Demi’s strategy to get herself back into the limelight appears to have failed as the big-money parts she had presumably hoped to win have just not appeared.
At one time, Demi’s salary for a Hollywood film was $12 million. She told Red magazine she wanted to overturn the belief that juicy roles should not be given to older actresses. “If we are told we are not valuable once we hit 30, it is a problem,” she said. “We all have more to give. We can’t just wait for something to happen. We have to say, ‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more‘.”
“It’s been a challenging few years, being the age I am. Almost to the point where I felt like, well, they don’t know what to do with me. I am not 20. Not 30″.
“There aren’t that many good roles for women over 40. A lot of them don’t have much substance, other than being someone’s mother or wife.”
After a string of flops in the 1990s, she took a career break, during which time she met her current husband, 29-year-old Ashton Kutcher.
Demi returned to the screen in 2003’s Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, emerging from the sea in a skimpy bikini which showed off the results of a her cosmetic surgery spending spree.
