Veteran actors’ ‘stretched’ look defies ravages of aging

At the shoot of a popular series, Seasoned Professional (SP) was overheard complaining about the cruel closeups her character was getting.

“I’m no spring chicken, so these extreme shots on my face are far from flattering,” SP complained to a confidant.

But when she saw a succeeding scene involving three show biz vets, SP couldn’t help but chuckle, “Well, theirs is a different case. When you look at their faces up close, you’ll see how ‘stretched’ their faces look. They hardly move at all (laughs)!”

Indeed, anything done in excess is just as unappealing.
