Lange, Jessica
From Make Me Heal
When Lange moved to New York, she worked as a model until producer Dino De Laurentiis cast her as the female lead in King Kong (1976). The film attracted much unfavorable comment and as a result Lange was off the screen for three years. Lange was given a small but showy part in ‘Bob Fosse’ ’s All That Jazz (1979), before giving a memorable performance in Bob Rafelson's The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981), as an adulterous waitress. The following year the actress won rave reviews for her exceptional portrayal of actress Frances Farmer in Frances (1982) and a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her work in Sydney Pollack's Tootsie (1982) (as a beautiful soap-opera actress). Lange was also outstanding as country singer Patsy Cline in ‘Karel Reisz’ ’s Sweet Dreams (1985) and as a lawyer who defends her father and discovers his past in Music Box (1989). Other important films include Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear (1991) (as a frightened housewife) and 'Tony Richardson' 's Blue Sky (1994), for which Lange won a Best Actress Academy Award as the mentally unbalanced wife of a military officer. The actress made her Broadway debut in 1992, playing Blanche in Tennessee Williams's ‘A Streetcar Named Desire.’
Lange is speculated to have had a facelift, brow lift, and Botox to maintain her taut skin and cat-eyed appearance she was famous for in her youth. Her forehead remains unlined and her face and neck are usually tight suggesting that Lange had a facelift and a neck lift to make the lower half of her face to match her wrinkle-free forehead, which may be attributed to Botox or other hyaluronic acid injections like Restylane and Juvederm. Recent photos of the 59 year old actress shows no hooding (bags of skin hanging over her eyes), puffiness, or under-eye bags and sagging skin causing rumors that she may have had a blepharoplasty.
Jessica Lange & Bette Midler On Plastic Surgery

At a certain age, everything starts to go south and plastic surgery is a helpful alternative to letting nature takes it course. But plastic surgery is still viewed very differently by different people, even in the same age group. Entertainment icons Jessica Lange and Bette Midler are in their late 50’s and early 60’s, respectively, but have different opinions and attitudes about the benefits of cosmetic surgery for women of their age.
Make Me Heal previously reported how the 59-year old actress has undergone facial cosmetic procedures in the form of a facelift, brow lift, and Botox to maintain her taut skin and cat-eyed appearance she was famous for in her youth (read the full story on Jessica Lange’s Plastic Surgery account). Make Me Heal finds it unlikely that Jessica Lange’s forehead could remain so unlined and her skin so tight without the help of fillers like Botox or a facelift. The rest of Jessica’s face as well as her neck, also seem unusually firm and wrinkle free, with no sagging or slack skin normally seen around the jawline and neck. This suggests that Jessica Lange had a facelift and a neck lift to make the lower half of her face to match her wrinkle-free forehead. Botox or another hyaluronic acid injection like Restylane and Juvederm are likely at play to have removed forehead forrows, crows’ feet around the eyes, lipstick lines around the mouth, and nasolabial folds (lines that emanate from the corner of the mouth). A blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) may explain why Jessica’s aging eyes seem to look so refreshed without any hooding (bags of skin hanging over her eyes) and no puffy or under-eye bags and sagging skin.
Dr. Anthony Youn also thinks that Jessica’s eyes are more exaggerated now than they were when she was younger, “There are a number of changes now that just are not what we would attribute to normal aging changes. Usually as people age the corners of the eyes tilt downward, and they tilt more downward as you get older, not upward.”
But Jessica has adamantly denied having plastic surgery and chalking it all up to good genes, and her spokeswoman has said, “It’s absolutely not true.”
Decide for yourself whether or not Jessica Lange has dabbled with cosmetic surgery when her movie Grey Garden comes out later this year. Plastic surgery no longer carries the stigma it once did and Make Me Heal hopes that Jessica will one day have the courage to come forward about her cosmetic procedures.
On the side of the same-age plastic surgery spectrum is 62-year old Bette Midler. The Divine Miss M is currently starring in her own Las Vegas revue, ‘The Showgirl Must Go On’ and has said that although she has not had plastic surgery yet, this does not mean that she would not consider it in the future.
The multi-talented entertainer responds pragmatically to questions about plastic surgery, “Doesn’t everybody consider it? When it really starts to cave in, I probably will start to give it a real good think.” She credits her current appearance to good genes and a healthy diet and exercise program.
Make Me Heal agrees that whatever Bette is doing, she is doing it well.
