As I get older I find Myself saying more often “I wish I knew then what I know now.” There is no denying that along with age comes knowledge. The older we get the more we see, the more we experience and for some the older we look. That is not true for us all though. Some women appear to age backwards or (joking) to be vampires, with a look that hasn’t changed much at all in 20 years plus. It is so inspiring to see such epitomes of black beauty as the women listed below. Whatever their secrets are I wish they’d all write a book so we can all age just as gracefully.
Alfre Woodard – (Age 63) most known Award winning actress has had a career than spanned over 3 decades. She has won multiple awards and at 63 only gets more regal looking as she ages.
Halle Berry – (Age 49) has long since been men’s fantasy woman since she burst on the scene in the early 90’s. At 49 she is still turning heads and driving men crazy.
Phylcia Rashad – (Age 67) after a successful career start in theater, Rashad went on to later become one of televisions favorite moms starring in The Cosby Show. At almost 70 she still looks the spitting image of Claire Huxtable.
