I saw Geneviève Bujold in several movies during the 1970-80s. I fell in love with her. The Canadian actress's beauty is mesmerizing. She's a true houri.
Yesterday I was shocked to see Geneviève in a movie made a decade ago ("Still Mine"). In it Geneviève looks OLD. Now 84, she seems like someone on her last legs -- but her eyes are the same, twinkling with inner pulchritude.
How can this be? I'm still young, why isn't she?
Our idols/stars aging is always disconcerting, isn't it? I know Bujold from Dead Ringers, and more recently, The Trotsky.
ReplyDeleteYup.
DeleteI'm still surprised to see previous child actors now getting married/on front of magazines etc. Like they're grown now, but that makes me feel old. People born in 2000+ are adults
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's weird, isn't it, how they're older but we aren't. :)
DeleteI'm not familiar with her work. When you work with kids, you see how fast time really flies! They often outgrow you in a few months. By the time my sixth graders become seventh graders, they will outgrow me. :)
ReplyDeleteGood point. Children's growth seems accelerated even though we're growing older too, just not as noticeably. There's a popular TV show here called "The Neighborhood" with a child character around 12-13. Between the last and new seasons the actor playing him grew SO MUCH I couldn't believe it was the same person. I wondered if they'd changed actors. They hadn't; he just hit puberty and grew a foot.
