Why eradicate the evidence of the life you’ve lived, actress asks
Actress Cate Blanchett, who stars in the latest “Indiana Jones” movie that opens Thursday (pictured at right), declares that she’ll never sign up for plastic surgery. People’s bodies, she says, carry valuable signs of the life they’ve lived.
A mother of three children, she told Glamour magazine in Great Britain:
“I see someone’s face, someone’s body who has had children, and I think they’re the song lines of your experience, and why would you want to eradicate that?
“Death is not going to be any easier just because your face can’t move.”
Express yourself, Cate. Sounds like you’re no fan of Botox either.

You’re right this time, that’s for sure.
I’m with Cate . . . people who get “fixed up” all start to look the same. So sad.
She is a beautiful woman, inside and out. I have soooo much respect for Hollywood types that buck the trend/pressure and keep it real.
