Both Maggie Smith and Judi Dench have build solid careers based on their being able to morph into different personas. I'd put Meryl Streep in the same company as Mirren--although both are a decade younger. It still boggles my mind how Meryl Streep was able to transform herself into both Maggie Thatcher and Julia Child. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654492 Tue, 03 May 2016 19:06:28 +0000 Banoffi 1654492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654489 Tue, 03 May 2016 19:03:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1654489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are indeed inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654423 Tue, 03 May 2016 17:26:05 +0000 catgirl 1654423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the trio that Angie mentions and wish there were many more like them in the public eye, shifting paradigms.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654375 Tue, 03 May 2016 15:16:15 +0000 Angie 1654375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una's post over in Off Topic is related to this thread:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-aging-looks-and-choices">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nd-choices</a></p> <p>In part of my comment, I wrote this:&nbsp;</p> <p><i>(That said, Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith and Julie Dench are HIGHLY sort after actresses between the ages of 70 and 82. No cosmetic surgery either. Plus they are British. I don't know what that means, but it's very interesting).</i></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654369 Tue, 03 May 2016 14:56:56 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1654369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not old enough to fully embrace my inner Judi Dench, but I think she looks great. She's stylish and herself and she's got the same English jowls that run in my family. I think there's a good chance I'm going to be a MOB this coming year and I've had my eyes open for a Judi Dench-like formal long jacket/coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654368 Tue, 03 May 2016 14:53:50 +0000 Anonymous 1654368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both great ladies, and also Helen Mirren. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654364 Tue, 03 May 2016 14:46:54 +0000 Chris987 1654364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, Helen M definitely belongs in this club, although the specific article was only about Judi and Maggie. Angela Lansbury is another example (she's 90) although not quite the towering talent IMHO...and she has done plastic surgery. What is it about these British Actresses?? &nbsp;</p> <p>I have a special place in my heart for Judi because we share birthdays :-).&nbsp;It's especially wonderful to see them continuing to have active careers in movies which are famous for not having many&nbsp;parts for older women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654359 Tue, 03 May 2016 14:35:27 +0000 Gail 1654359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both. I agree Angie, Helen Mirren too !,</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654357 Tue, 03 May 2016 14:32:18 +0000 Anonymous 1654357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this yesterday somewhere too. &nbsp;Really lovely and real.

I'd also add Helen Mirren to the list.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654324 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:48:28 +0000 Anonymous 1654324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't get any more fabulous than these two ladies.&nbsp; They just get better all the time, like fine wine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654320 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:41:40 +0000 Helena 1654320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! More and more finding myself looking to older women for style inspiration. These are terrific examples, agree that Helen Mirren is another. Jane Fonda in Frankie and grace is so chic also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654305 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:12:09 +0000 Anonymous 1654305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are glorious. I'd add Helen Mirren to that list as well (though she's only 70). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654303 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:03:24 +0000 Ginger 1654303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw Maggie Smith on an episode of the Carol Burnett show. Hysterically funny sketch, part of the Tim Conway "Hollow Hero" series in which Carol plays the Queen, and Maggie Smith a cockney.&nbsp; She's always a delight, but it was piquant to see her more than holding her own versus Carol and Tim Conway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654293 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:51:41 +0000 Anonymous 1654293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both class acts that we can look to for inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654288 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:45:27 +0000 Murph11 1654288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Divine, indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maggie-smith-judi-dench#post-1654286 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:42:13 +0000 Chris987 1654286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ran across this and had to post it...was on&nbsp;a Facebook page called "shopping for the real you" , which is about a book by the same title. (I don't know anything about the book) </p> <p>The caption was "Two divine women. No wild outfits. No heavy make-up or plastic surgery. They simply inspire our admiration and&nbsp;&nbsp;grab our attention by who they are".</p> <p>In case you don't recognize them, these ladies are perhaps the best two living female in the world, both from&nbsp;the UK, both with the "Dame" title. They are both 81,&nbsp;have&nbsp;had long and illustrious careers and are still performing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Talk about style!!! </p>
