She doesn't need gobs of makeup. I've seen her plain faced with her kids, and she is just fine. You'd never mistake her for Tom Hanks.

Blessedly, it wasn't often, but I hated, hated, HATED when the older guys showed up. Not only did my male peers ..."<br /><br />Yes, what you see in movies and what is real life. There will always be some women, and a even a few men, who prefer older (much older) partners.... but...<br />When I was at my 5 yr high school reuion, a few of us girls went to a bar. While there, the prettiest blonde among us was approached by a 40 something guy who looked a little like Tom Hanks at 40 something. The girl was polite but then her ex-boyfriend, gorgeous, came in with friends and she was mortified. Somehow we got the older guy to go away and we felt sorry for him. He paid for her drink, too. It seemed unfair to me. I was "feminist" but didn't think men should get stuck with paying for stuff they got nothing from. The pretty blonde said in a low voice she did not want her boyfriend to think she was going around with old guys. <br />There was a stigma attached to that sort of thing, and while the older guy might have been envied by other older guys, the girl was not in quite so enviable a situation for the most part. Even more scathing was the scorn and contempt that young MEN had for it...they called girls who went after older guys by some remarkably demonizing terms, and I remember wondering how complex and changable was human nature as it passes through the ages of man. And woman.<br /><br />You never know though -- I recall a British professor of 60 who really did look about 38 and if he'd whistled, I'd have come. But that's rare. There's a reason people pair off at least in the same generation. There are outliers who are happy to marry much older, but they are not the generality.<br />As for the idea that alpha males are so enviable, that's not looking too closely. The young gal wife is likely to be as more of a nurse and that's part of the deal. <br />Like Shirley McLaine in Being There.jcpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-58833231744737918082011-06-23T01:50:18.289-07:002011-06-23T01:50:18.289-07:00Of course there is solid core of A-list black acto...<i>Of course there is solid core of A-list black actors (Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle) who appear in Oscar-worthy films from time-to-time, but almost always in a context of addressing racial issues and where their own racial identity is a central, not incidental, part of the role.</i><br /><br />Said by someone who only remembers some of their movies, and conveniently forgets a lot of others.
