Icons and their views on aging

 

Greta Garbo 55 years old - 1960 

Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.

Lucille Ball 60 years old - 1971

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.

Vivian Leigh

I'm not young. What's wrong with that?

Catherine Hepburn

I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.

Brigitte Bardot

Every age can be enchanting - provided you live it.

It is sad to grow old but nice to ripen.

Sophia Loren

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”

Gina Lollobrigida

We are all born to die—the difference is the intensity with which we choose to live. - Gina Lollobrigida.

Elizabeth Taylor

"I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get."

Audrey Hepburn

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows.

Isabella Rossellini became the face of Lancôme at the age of 30 in 1982.

Her Lancôme deal ended when she was 42. Lancôme approached her for another contract at the age of 65
