I think what I was rather incoherently groping for is how odd the phenomenon of emphasizing the "agelessness" of stars like Crawford (and Davis, and even Dietrich), starting at about 45, seems to modern eyes because their contemporary peers actually do have an eerie, mostly artificial, "agelessness."Muscatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657061324487851341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7218985326921858943.post-23680548761770512062009-08-13T12:54:19.046-04:002009-08-13T12:54:19.046-04:00I do have to put this out there, though: that isn&...I do have to put this out there, though: that isn't it 10x more interesting to look at a 51-year-old Joan Crawford than a 51-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer?
