Top 10 actresses past their expiration date

Postby Rico on Mon Jan 11, 2010 1:50 pm

1. Julia Roberts

You have to hand it to her, Julia Roberts was America’s Sweetheart for a real long stretch. She really hung in there, and she definitely had her share of detractors along the way. But she always kept her head up and moved past whatever personal scandal or cinematic failure cropped up. She was a one-of-a-kind movie star, and she pretty reliably brought in the box office.

Somewhere along the way things changed and she wasn’t quite as ravishing as she once was. She hasn’t aged as terribly as some of the ladies on this list, but she’s certainly begun to display the ravages of time. Between Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve the numbers started to show. By the time she appeared in Charlie Wilson’s War her eye sockets appeared to be empty caves from which two orbs of desperation peered into the abyss.

It’s quite possible that Roberts will continue to dazzle and amaze us for many more years, and she might even hold onto the title of America’s Sweetheart for longer still. But people have already begun to show less interest in her films and the studios will soon realize they can’t bank upon her appeal to men and women alike any longer: her throne is in danger.

Queen Elizabeth the first was praised as the beautiful Virgin Queen until the day of her death at age sixty nine. But none of her subjects truly believed there was a hottie underneath all those layers of white make up and frilly dresses. They just kind of got used to the title.

Has this been posted yet? this is so nasty. Especially as she still looks so good. However, for some reason, always better and more radiant in real life (interviews) than in her films. also maybe because her roles do not exactly demande radiance..

I think I had read it somewhere before. But for me personally it's better when we ignore those nasty things written about Jules.

It seems that people who write articles like that just target actresses as they get slightly older. The whole ageism in Hollywood is still evident. I for one think Jules is still brilliant and cannot wait for Valentine's Day to come out.
