@Alexander78Mr does plastic surgery equal perfection? does grasping on to 'youth' instead of embracing her actual age equal perfection? I think wrinkles are beautiful and perfect too.
@BrickLaneBetty She's also very health conscious; she doesn't eat crap and she works out.
Compare her to Janis Joplin; they both did Dick Cavett; Joplin looks like a white-flour dumpling all bloated out by comparison and they were about the same age.
@BrickLaneBetty First of all, I'm not trashing Ms. Joplin; she was a great entertainer but the fact is she didn't take her health as seriously as Ms. Welch and it clearly shows on her.
Indeed, that she died from taking recreational drugs is proof of that.
and what drove her to kill herself. Being told she was worthless? Ugly? Women can be very , very healthy and still be told they are ugly especially back then when there were no popular women with average looks like there are today. two thirds of the women who are famous today could not have gotten arrested back then!
Janis made it on ALL talent not looks. yes, I think Rocky is talented but she'd be the first to admit her looks got her where she is today as an icon. Janis is still an icon too.
@BrickLaneBetty First of all, I never said that Joplin was ugly, I just said she wasn't robust looking because she wasn't so cognizant of health issues; Welch obviously was from pretty much the beginning.
Yes, Welch primarily "made it" because she looked as she did; Joplin's success was based on talent; I have no doubt about that.
It's interesting the way you talked about how there were no popular women with average looks "like there are today."
@SatchmoSings My point is that Janis looks as powerful and as dynamic as rocky welch. You'd be shocked at how many famous people do drugs nearly ALL of them. Welch is one of the few who does not.
@BrickLaneBetty 02. I disagree with that; perhaps one of the most famous role-models of her time was Eleanor Roosevelt. Indeed, I think there were more average-looking women who were popular "back then" because there wasn't as much hype this way as there is now; Mrs. Roosevelt was, in some ways, I think, the norm within this context.
Other good female role-models in those days were women who taught school; in those less liberated times, many brilliant women could "only" teach school.
@BrickLaneBetty Mrs. Roosevelt was very accomplished in her own right; you may as well make this claim for her earlier abilities because her UNCLE was The President and indeed, you could also say this about Teddy's own children, some of whom were also quite male in those less liberated times.
@BrickLaneBetty Oprah Winfrey is a very average looking woman who is quite popular and a rather acceptable role-model despite her more commercial side.
@BrickLaneBetty That comment has little, if any context; I'm wondering if you'll bother to flesh it out and I'm also wondering whether or not I should even bother to read it should you decide to do that.
@BrickLaneBetty 03. One of my favorite moments of an average-looking, 40 year old woman griping about how she's not so beautiful (and no longer so young) is Katina Paxinou as "Pilar" in "For Whom The Bell Tolls." (You can see a frame of her lifted from the film on her "Wikipedia" bio.)
Okay, so she's not Ingrid Bergman but yet the whole time she was playing this scene (to Bergman and Gary Cooper) I couldn't help thinking how beautiful she was.
@BrickLaneBetty Big-time movie stars of both sexes even in "those days" tended to be very good looking people; that's what the public WANTED to see! D-uh!
Ms. Paxinou was obviously a character actress but that doesn't mean she was a dog; she was actually quite attractive and she obviously and quite handily had men in her life that SHE enjoyed.
I don't have to go out with a woman that looks like a lead movie star; she just has to be attractive To ME and that takes in many factors.
that's not the point. Janis was a pathfinder, she was not given an assigned role by a film studio like a character actress was. She devised her own persona, with her own talent. in many ways Welch did her own thing too. What got Welch's foot in the door was her good looking genes which she herself admitted she was/is fortunate to have. What got Janis in was her TALENT and her own self created beauty. Magazines still copy it each month.
@BrickLaneBetty Here is Paxinou as "Pilar" in "From Whom The Bell Tolls" in the scene that probably clinched her Oscar.
watch?v=_Kyv5VJCxH8
Despite her self-denigrating speech, she definitely has sex appeal; while you may be a woman you have no idea what makes a woman attractive; "Pilar" is very attractive.
PS, I will look at your response should you choose to make one; I will not answer; you have all the character of the average listener to The Howard Stern show.
@BrickLaneBetty She wasn't all country and sweet twang. She did Rockabilly too, which counts as Rock N' Roll. She was also controversial with some of her lyrics at that time. Maybe to you she didn't crack the boys club(arguable) but she was still huge in her time and she was rock n' roll.
@BrickLaneBetty You removed your original comment; I thought it rather cogent and a fine description of Ms. Welch; I had a big enough crush on her growing up though ultimately I do prefer Sophia Loren.
@SatchmoSings Both women are my two heroes but i don't get why trashing Janis is relevant. If Janis had picked parents like Sophia and Rocky did she'd still be alive.
@BrickLaneBetty Having beautiful parents is no guarantee that the children will be beautiful; any breeder of racehorses can tell you that!
Also, any racehorse breeder can make the point point just the opposite way; ever hear of "Seabiscuit?" (He was undersized, knobby-kneed, and given to sleeping and eating for long periods!) A very unlikely candidate for a racehorse but he became beloved, precisely BECAUSE he was an underdog!
@BrickLaneBetty I made the silly assumption you were capable of assimilating analogies; please excuse me; it's obviously all my error.
Here's something you might be able to understand . . .
Until I made your acquaintance, I always thought it impossible for a person to sexually assault themselves; I now know that self-ass rape is most definitely a reality.
@SatchmoSings ???? WTF are you talking about? i use You tube. F Scott Fitzgerald is not someone I care for. I think your logic is faulty but sure get Ad hominem because that's all you've got left. I don't agree with the fact you brought Janis up and it sounded nasty. I still feel that way. its nothing personal so don't get personal!
@aerobiclust I'm a middle-aged man and with all this stress put upon perfection, I can honestly tell you that I can and do enjoy a woman whose body has shown the effects of years and even child-bearing (please note that this is distinctive from ABUSE of herself); I don't mind the stretch marks and the like as long as her overall appearance shows robustness; as you said, they are beautiful and perfect, too.

I'm very surprised that Welch didn't do musicals (though she did subsequently on Broadway).
She was a fine dancer and could certainly carry a tune; maybe in the "old days" under a strong studio-system this would have been more of a reality.
