Having a career in Hollywood has its upsides and downsides — with one of the biggest downsides being that you’re expected to always look your best — no matter where you are, what you’re going through, and no matter how old you are. These celebrities on our list are definitely lucky, because they are look graceful and as beautiful as ever, even as they age.

Some of the celebrities here are endowed with great genes, while others have sought the help of plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery. Some are just plain lucky that they don’t need to diet to achieve enviable bodies, while others are required to stick to strenuous workout sessions and strict diet regimens…

Marcia Cross

Actress Marcia Cross became a household name after she was cast as the perfect wife, Bree Van de Kamp on the TV show, Desperate Housewives. But she has been acting since the 1990s on television, and finds her name in the credits of plenty of popular shows.

Knots Landing, One Life to Live, The Edge of Knight and Melrose Place are some of these shows. After she played a meaty role on the show Quantico, Maria seemed to have disappeared, and she recently said that she had cancer and was recovering from it.

Halle Berry

Halle Berry is one of those women who seemed to have discovered the fountain of youth. It’s like the actress literally told her body to stop aging and it just stopped! Berry’s face is almost wrinkle-free, and she’s 52 years old! We can hear many women crying out “not fair!” When asked about her beauty secret, the actress said she believes exercise plays a great role in making the skin look healthy.

She particularly credits cardio workouts, saying that it helps keep the blood running in your body, thus helping the skin look well. Apparently, the actress’ claim is backed by Science, indeed exercise aids in anti-aging at the cellular level. Aside from exercise, Berry has skincare guru Olga Lorencin to thank for her fabulous skin. The Los Angeles-based aesthetician has been helping Berry care for her skin for 18 years now.

Penny Smith

Penelope “Penny” Smith is an English TV presenter, radio presenter, newsreader and author who has worked with BBC Radio London, Sky News, TalkRadio, and Classic FM. Since 2021, she has been given a weekday drivetime show to host on Scala Radio.

Smith is a health enthusiast who has starred in and produced 3 yoga videos, which keeps her mentally and physically healthy. She often writes articles and columns for various newspapers and magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Woman & Home.

Jennifer Lopez

When Jennifer Lopez took to the stage at the half-time performance at the 2020 Super Bowl, people couldn’t believe what they were seeing. How can someone in their 50s look that good and sing and dance with so much energy? Well, as it appears, sheer luck cannot be attributed for how amazing Lopez looks now.

Lopez looks ageless because of hard work — exercise, skincare, and a healthy diet. The actress works out 3 to 4 times a week, with trainers David Kirsch and Tracy Anderson (it depends whether she’s in New York or Los Angeles). And with regards to skincare, she swears by regular use of products containing glycolic acid.

Cindy Crawford

The word ‘beautiful’ might as well have a new synonym – Cindy Crawford. The model and actress (remember her in Fair Game and According to Jim?) is almost a half a century old but somehow manages to look better than most people half her age.

Looking at her today, it’s no wonder why she is the leading choice for brand endorsements. Cindy, with that trademark mole above her lip, says that she feels happier, younger and healthier now in her 50s. Her skin care philosophy revolves around protecting her skin in the day time, and restoring it at night.
