Looking Slightly Normal

She still looks scary, but not as freaky as THIS!

Former TV actress Joan Van Ark celebrated the Academy Awards on Sunday at the Billboard magazine and Children Uniting Nations Oscar Party at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

That's about as far as she could go. They wouldn't let her get anywhere near the Kodak Theater with that face!

She used to be so lovely. This is what happens when you try to regain your youthful appearance by the knife. When will celebrities learn to accept themselves as they are.

WTF? Cant someone in her circle or her stylist help her. If she wont lay off the botox a little at least someone should help with her eye makeup. Maybe she has a little bit of a mental problem. Its quite sad.

That is so cheap and mean, are you all beauties, I would like to take a look at you. This poor woman is terrified of getting older, her face is ok but she is way too skinny. That's what happens in the land of Follywood.

Somebody stop her from having any more surgery!!! GROSS!
That's "Knots" Nice! says – reply to this

Wow. I agree that she kind of resembles Felicity. But, to me, she looks like what I imagine Lauri from 'Real Housewives of Orange County" will look like in the next 10 years.

I think she is dead but no one has tolder her yet.. Poor lady…
klik says – reply to this

44

It's more than a cosmetic surgery problem. The lady looks anorexic. She is a skeleton covered with skin. Extreme thinness at an older age does not give a more youthful look! She should probably put on 20 to 30 lbs, fill out a bit, and would look lovely!

55

WRONG WRONG WRONG…
…wrong dress — we don't need to see her skeleton
…wrong hair — belongs on someone 20 years younger, and just adds to the medusa look
…REALLY WRONG eye make-up, STILL (and she really needs to look AWAY from the camera — too much deer-in-the-headlights happenin with the full-on stare
…wrong colors — she's bronze monotone
Makeup Change Needed!!! says – reply to this

56

If she would just change the color of her foundation makeup (too yellow orange), eyemakeup (too orangey brown and needs more on bottom) and a darker glossier lipstick, it would make a dramatic improvement. Her makeup colors would make anyone look horrid.

I think its very sad to see her like this, she obviously is very ill. Shes emanciated. Maybe she is anorexic , you can see her skeleton. That isnt healthy or normal. I just cant get over how some people are so mean and have no compassion for another human being and cant resist hateful and catty remarks. Its pathetic. I feel very bad for her, there is something dreadfully wrong here.

Maybe if she layed off the heavy mascara, and stopped putting foundation on her lips…….and change the hair to a darker blonde. Thats simple enough for her to do, right?
Boston says – reply to this

71

She was never a pretty woman, even in her younger days.
This is horrid though.
Cover up, cut that 80's hair, maybe go get your arms waxed.
I wonder if she's been sick to look so badly.
I just did a roll back to see her again, it's really bad.
sweetface says – reply to this

72

It is really sad to see older women and men resorting to Botox and plastic surgery in an attempt to regain a youthful appearance. First up, it doesn't work. Botox gives these faces a waxy totally unnatural appearance. And lets not even get into the creepy stretched look of most post-plastic surgery faces. Looking 'natural' when one gets older is far more pleasing to the eye than looking like a candidate for a wax museum creep show.

Uuuuu, this looks scary!
EP says – reply to this

74

She still looks like a 5 year old chose and applied her makeup. I'm not a makeup artist, but even I could make that plastic face look 1000 times better than it does here. It is absolutely beyond me why she chooses to wear thick brown eyeliner on her bottom lid, nothing on the top lid and no lipstick. This woman NEEDS lipstick. And the wet-looking clumped together eyelash look is gross.

75

I remember Joan from an episode of Wonder Woman and other shows from back in the day…there was a time when she was actually really cute…now…she has just went too damn far with the surgery!!!! wow!! why why why why do they do this to their faces??!! she doesnt look young..she looks like an old gal with a face lift. sorry Joan if you read this…but damn girl..you really went too damn far. Word of advice from a gay man here Joan…get a foundation that matches your skin that doesnt make you look like a walking corpse and wear some lipstick! Your lips look dry and pale…lipstick can work wonders. You would look much much better! Love ya!

Put some lipstick on!!!!!!
squeaky says – reply to this

77

Who in the h*ll us doing her makeup and WHY are they letting her appear like that? The bronze-ey color is not working for her, neither is the shimmer and shine. An older lady needs a matte finish, less and softer eye makeup and rosy natural looking lips. All that shinyness is only enhancing her wrinkles and bones. She could look 10 years younger with just a proper (re: age-appropriate) application of makeup.
The hair could use some help, too. Maybe an updated cut with some feathery face framing layers to soften her features.
Fire your beauty team, Joan! Oh, and put on a little weight too.
cjm says – reply to this

78

Joan is 65 years old. I think she has fallen to the hollywood theory that you are never too thin. Her face is too thin,,her neck-seeing the ligments and her whole chest. Some people just don't age well. Maybe a darker hair color? anyway, Perez, this is not news.. You just like picking on people that you consider old. It's like you are a 10 yo who thinks anyone over 30 is old. GROW UP

MissVee says – reply to this

81

Whew! Somebody needs to up-date thier eyeshadow choices. No frosts or metallics after 50, Joan - they just make your eyes look more crepe-y than they already are; dye the hair to match the eyebrows for heaven's sake; and lay off the microdermabrasion for awhile - you're starting to look postively sand-blasted - like you were got in the Sahara during monsoon. And eat something….

85

Poor woman. I hope she's getting laid. You know, I was going to get some work done, but looking at the results all over these celebrity sites made me think, "Why don't I just spend the money on weed." Shit, or give it to a real doctor, you could probably save 1000 lives in Africa with the medical expertise, equipment, and medication used to make each celebrity "beautiful."

1) eat a cookie. You can cut paper with those collar bones and we shouldn't be able to see your rib cage unless you are dying of cancer and receiving chemo.

2) How about some lipstick? You do have lips, you know.

3) No more botox for you, Sister. You are cut off. Abuse and you lose.

4) You're like what…70? How about giving up the hair extensions? And if you really, really must them maybe they could actually match the rest of your hair.

I could keep going but anymore would just be mean.
