    “It doesn’t mean that sometimes I look in the mirror and don’t go, ‘Oh God, I look old,’ or ‘Oh, my face is falling’ — I do. But I can accept that that’s where I’m at today, and I know the difference today is that it doesn’t define my value or who I am,” the actress reflected.

    All it takes is $$$. Justine Bateman is much more relatable, natural beauty inside & out + intellect. More of a role model than any of the plastic people & so-called influencers.
