- The Czech emigre supermodel was a familiar cover girl in the 1980s and '90s and became the face of Estée Lauder. But now, Paulina Porizkova tells "CBS This Morning" co-host Anthony Mason, the modeling shoots are much rarer, and the death last September of her husband, Ric Ocasek of The Cars, left her with a shocking surprise.

I think she is one of the most beautiful models ever, and she seems like a genuinely nice person, which only increases her beauty.
How genuine! Great interview, i love when the intrvr let then talk. Good job.
She truly is beautiful inside & out!! I am DISGUSTED at some of the Horrible comments I am reading from people here! And, from mainly women no less! Some people are just so ugly on the inside, and ya can't fix that!
that beauty is long long gone, thin skin.No melanin
@@CherylBerryl true. I think its also fear / weakness that those comments stem from.
& that's truly unattractive imo.
@@victoriariley7490 She is still beautiful with all the wrinkles. Some gorgeous people do facelifts and they look ugly/scary, afterwards.
Estee Lauder, and other prestigious brands would really benefit from having this classic beautiful woman. Tired of looking 18 year old representing anti-aging creams, it just doesn’t make any sense, and the consumers are not dumb.
Very true!!! And this woman beats all those 18 year olds...
@Sofia
I agree with you! That company only uses Asian woman or anyone under age. In fact, they had a 15 y.o. advertising fragrance. That's horrendous. I consider it false advertising to use such young ladies with beautiful faces and lovely smooth skin by nature. Not having endured the stressors of life or age. They should use Paulina now!
Bien dicho
I agree. She has timeless dedication to her craft and she should be a role model for women and possibly gender-fluid people and men in that we don't age gracefully and life is not a continuous jolly stroll through the park blossoming at its peak. Our faces just cannot be the same as it was when we are in our twenties and twenty year olds shouldn't have to worry about their appearance now, although it does help to start being mindful of one's inner and outer beauty however one sees beauty. Creme for fine lines and age spots? For people who have just started their adult life? Um how about no. I love my smile lines and crinkles between my brows.
Ditto. She looked great and spoke even better! What a joke this husband of hers.
I realize, with each interview, how her natural and beautiful face can still express itself
Not a fan of news media but liked this guy that interview. A good interview asks questions and then stops to listen. He got her to talk. He didn't do all the talking.
I grew up hating myself for not looking like Paulina. One day, as a 45 year old former dancer and beginner aerialist, I walked into a class and she was a student! All my insecurities returned. And yet, she was the most genuine, gracious, beautiful woman inside and out! Not a shred of entitlement. Just a pleasure to be around. And very hard working and helpful and supportive of all the students. I was blown away by her kindness. She’s the real deal and it’s impossible not to love her when you meet her.
I always hear the most beautiful heart warming stories, heart breaking or interesting tid bits about celebrities or a place in time from the regular people in the comments. I learned more about what really went on in current wars for one example or foreign politics from the people that lived there on the ground. I mean all the time. It’s awesome. Oh I’m a 54 yo woman so I know about self esteem when it comes to beauty. Life just goes by too fast.
I can sense that through the screen.
They were neighbors. Delightful person. Large heart with a kind word for everyone, but you always caught a self-deprecating tone. I was very jealous of Ric. Sad to hear how she has been treated since his death. I hope her boys take good care of her.
@C L That is the exact impression I got of her from not only this interview but a few others I’ve seen now. I also just saw a sort of podcast she did about false eyelashes, and I swear she sounds like someone I could’ve grown up with, so down to earth, and yes self deprecating humor, and she is so completely honest, and sweet. I am 6 years younger than her and I hope I age as naturally & beautifully as she is! She truly seems as amazing on the inside as she looks on the outside, and I believe her humble beginnings in life were an asset to her genuine character. God Bless her 🙏🏼❤️ what a terrible thing to go through after loving someone so completely for well over 30+ years.
@@TracyD2 so true I am this age as well and a former part time model yrs ago... it’s a brutal society we are in.... elders are looked upon as either complete saints or trash there seems no middle ground...
Only the young'uns are saying she is not aging well. Those of us with a few more years know that she is aging beautifully, inside and out.
Wait till they hit 50. I think she looks great
She looks amazing.
Anyone, no matter what age, who thinks she's not aging well is an absolute idiot. Even as a young woman, I would have described this woman as "beautiful".
I am 28 and i think she looks fantastic,..would love to look like her,..and her charakter is so lovely
Beautiful real soul
I'm in awe of her raw honesty. No one ever comes right out and says what she said about how being left behind by her parents affected her for the rest of her life. What a shame. She didn't deserve that. And she didn't deserve what Ric Ocasek did to her. What a louse.
That was a chump move
She's not entitled to it. And we don't know the full story.
Paulina was the most beautiful models ever and still is so stunningly beautiful. She is the perfect example of beauty and sadness. I hope she recovers from her heartache. It’s terribly sad to be betrayed like that.
She is still gorgeous and I'd much rather see pics of women natural like her than what we are forced to see, fake women that normal women will never look like.
She might be "natural" as you put it, but most "normal" women dont match that level of beauty.
@@icecrystal3255 Oh, I know...totally agree with that!
I adore natural beauty 😍
loved the Car's but I guess, Rock Stars big egos.
Sorry I hate to break it to you she’s not aging well.. it’s not natural to look this old at only 54
She gave all her beauty and youth to someone who at the end of his life was ungrateful and bitter ... towards her and his children from his 1st marriage .... Get those WINGS ! ... and try to be HAPPY ... all the best Paulina, you are very beautiful!
Cecilia Herrera I still think she has a lot of beauty (and grace) left
She gave not one bit of her beauty...
@@rap4369 don't believe everything you read on the internet 🙄🤣
@@rap4369 Then she is a damn good actress... nevertheless, the leaf never shakes without wind... but because I am a woman, too, I'd say her old husband could not stand his ex wife doing the same he did 35 years ago - getting a 20 years younger partner ;) What's that called in English... a male chauvinist? :X
@@timprescott4634 maybe not to him, but to the Sun's rays, a lot!
"Maybe I took too much energy to love"... Those words ripped right through me..
I could feel her heart ache in those words.
I've never said this before because it is a cliché, but she is incredible in her inner beauty, it truly just shines from her, even in her hurt that goodness is there. My Mum is 91 and it still hurts that she was raised by her grandma until 7, she still mentions not being wanted.
She's refreshingly honest, vulnerable, and relatable.
i think this is a dude
@@nrgalvin5612 You didn't see her in her hey day
@@michaelbrown7561 shes inverted ..so was ric
Do you Know her?
@@bluebird2604 yes
She looks great. There should be model work for her. Companies better take notice. She represents 50+ women. We are aging, not dead!
She still models!
I like how she represents the 50+ crowd who don't want to pretend that they look 25 by filling themselves with botox. There's nothing wrong with it if that's your choice, but it's nice to see a naturally gorgeous woman age naturally and promote it too!
Hope I'm as graceful as she is at 50+!
Melanie Trump can't understand why no one wants her now as well?
Excellent statement. As and over 50 woman, it would be nice to see real woman representing us at our age.
It's infuriating that we don't see more women her age. She's beautiful, she's fantastic, her personality is so likeable... I'd prefer to see a giant billboard of her face as she is now than a twenty-something modeling foundation. As a 39 year old I want to know that make up can enhance me. I don't necessarily feel assured by make up claims on a baby face. But also, can we just stop discounting a woman's worth after she's past 40?? Heaven's sake...!
this is so touching and sad. she's not only stunning but also very eloquent and emotionally intelligent. even though their marriage worked out for a long time, I can't help but be sad that a 19 year old was preyed upon by a 40 year old man. even if she didn't consider the age difference a problem, grown or even middle-aged men going for teenagers is always a major red flag. at 19, however intelligent you may be, you're just too inexperienced to understand that. and while the fact that he cut her out of his will has nothing to do with the age difference, it's even more devastating since she devoted her whole youth, life (up to this point), and money to him. all that doesn't cast a great light on him as a person even though I'm sure she wouldn't want that to be the takeaway of the interview.
Yes, as she said, she had no self esteem, how can you really be knowledgeable at 19? When I was that young, I wanted no 40 year old near me, didn't care who they were it was just un-natural shall we say;' so at least I had that sense why go with someone or even would I be attracted to someone so much older anyway, a bit creepy.
She settled & made out fine. Ocasek wasn’t worth a whole lot when he died compared to what we might think. It’s common for divorce lawyers to tell their clients to change their wills as soon as divorce proceedings begin, which she did. She had already found another man. States provide an elective share if at least 1/3 so it’s not shocking that Ocasek followed his lawyer’s advice. Honestly, with most surprising to me is that he disinherited 2 of his adult children from a previous marriage.
@@r.williamcomm7693 I think you mean, he changed 'his' will when she started to divorce him. He doesn't sound like the nicest of people at all. Clearly she gave him so many years of effort and finally did what she had to do. He had claimed abandonment, but that was not it.
@@janebraun4482 I understand what you mean but seriously, I’m not taking a side. It’s just standard that lawyers tell clients to change their wills when they separate. I stated what Icasek claimed to be his reasons for dis inheritance because most wills that disinherit say something but that doesn’t make it true. They could both be wonderful ppl or one or the other could be bad. She still had rights to a portion of his estate PLUS she also had her share of the marital estate. She wasn’t locked out penniless & I’m glad for that because that would indeed be wrong. She got a substantial settlement from his estate as she was entitled. Ppl didn’t seem to realize that they were watching a news story that was a few years old & that in 2021 she & the estate reached a settlement. Ocasek was never known as a bad man prior to this & he wasn’t expecting to die anytime soon when he signed the will. But there’s also been tragic cases where spouses didn’t change wills after divorces. Paulina Poriskova seems like a wonderful person & she doesn’t need to justify to anyone why the marriage ended. Likewise, imagine a spouse being in another relationship while going through a divorce & then inheriting because the will wasn’t changed when both parties expected the divorce court to divide the marital property & that each would be changing their wills to provide for their children or others. Ocasek was planning on being alive well after the divorce was over & had he lived a few months longer that probably would’ve been the case. So there’s no bad party here. Honestly I’d be very surprised if Paulina’s lawyer didn’t advise her to change her will to.
@@janebraun4482 Yes Ocasek claimed in his new will that she abandoned him. That doesn’t make it true. In some states when disinheriting a spouse in a will the testator must acknowledge the spouse as part of a showing that he or she understood & had considered the gravity of doing such. Some lawyers include it as a matter of practice even if it’s not required to increase the odds of the will being upheld in court if it’s challenged. The case law goes way back in time & the statutory law often reflects that. Some ppl don’t realize that the estate settled with Poriskova, as it should. She most likely got half of the marital property which is how divorce courts typically divide it. New York law forbids residents from completely disinheriting a surviving spouse. If a person is legally married at the time of his or her death, the spouse will automatically inherit a percentage of the estate’s assets-even if the spouse has been intentionally excluded from the deceased person's will or trust.
Imagine spending your entire adult life with someone who didn't want you and ultimately betrayed you. Yikes. This is why self love is so important. Looking to somebody else to give you what you can't give yourself always ends up in heartbreak. Hope she finds the peace and love he stole from her.
“Who didn’t want you” they were married for decades. You just assume after all those years he hated her or something?
self-love is a societal deception. why do you think ocasek separated from paulina? yes, he loved himself more. just think about it: if everyone thought this way, most, if not all relationships will not last. self-love is already part of our nature; we don't need to feed it some more. being giving to your spouse is part of real love and genuinely fulfilling, especially if she has the same mindset. been married 26 yrs and we've had our ups and downs but i will never trade her, or my life for any "selfish" gain. don't be afraid of being hurt as long as both of you have the "giving" mindset. everything will fall back into place if both think of the other more, and think less of "self-love". in my country, 4 out 5 couples stay together til the end and out of that 4, 3 are happy/ satisfied. the number of separations are starting to grow, though because we're slowly being indoctrinated by this western mindset.
She was still with him for 30 years. Pretty sure he overpaid any debt he might have had with her if she was with him that long. She wasn't entitled to anything from him when he's a dead man. She got to live in the light that not many people can say they lived in. I don't know how much more blind you can be. Hell I would love to ruin her life somehow but at that age there is no glory doing anything to her now. There is no glee on trouncing an old woman.
@@bizznick444joe7 Wow. Something is wrong with you. But whatever. Hopefully she's living her best life now, and haters like you can keep hating. Best of luck with that!
@@TreeofwysdmYes there is something wrong with me because I would liked nothing than for someone to have trounced her to put her in her place. It would have been good for her too to finally wake up. The entitlement on her right now is not going to age any better right now and we all know this. She will not find peace with this, she will continue whining about how people dont' like her for her looks when it was the very thing she capitalized on. She keeps saying "I'm more than my looks" then keeps bringing up the looks thing. I still haven't found anything that is special about her and she hasn't shown it.
Maybe she should donate to those in need and go live in a hut in the beach or something. That's humility, that's true virtue.
She’s aging just fine. This is actually what a beautiful and natural 55 year older looks like without any plastic surgery or fillers. We’re just not use to seeing this anymore.
My mom is almost 70 but she is not wrinkly.
Agreed! 👍
You think they don't get cosmetic surgery like Botox and fillers? You must be deluded. Models love plastic surgery
The secret of aging gracefully is money
@@cocola461 I just barely would like to see what you look like.
She is so beautiful and to see someone thats work her whole life be 'cut out' of something she built is awful, awful to hear.
Hi Wayne!! Hope you're staying well. 💕
Hey Wayne, love to see you on these type of videos! 💓
@Rene Lynch Divorce Laws vary from state to state in regards to how the marital estate is divided and the impact left by a decedent spouse's will. I wonder who he willed his money to. Paulina can always contest his will and get more of what she was cut out of. I think the problem was Paulina was an Eastern European woman with traditional values whereas her husband was raised here in America the land of the me generation.
@Rene Lynch that's what I thought, that you can cut a spouse out entirely...especially when you are legally married at the time.
@jameshisself I did look him up... thank you. Says she introduced him as her new boyfriend after a year separation. According to this interview...the separation was not her idea. Guess we will never know.. but kinda harsh after 30 yr marriage and can't imagine it's even legal. BTW I don't agree w/ A R either... there are always two sides to every story...then the truth.
The fact that he cut her and his own kids out SAYS a great deal about this person's mentality.
Absolutely love this woman, she is warm, kind, vulnerable, humble and possibly the most beautiful woman of her time
This is how you age with grace. No surgery, natural, in one word : beautiful
She does not age good.
@@Noella65 Well, she has a very thin and pale skin.... it is really really hard to keep it flawless or let's say tou have to take care of the phototype 1 skin 4 or 5 times more than a black phototype 4/5 skin...
She is only 54. She looks really old to me.
@@saraheart2804 because her hair is already grey !!! If she had her hair black or brown, it would be even more impressive.
And at least, she didn't lose her hair # Naomi C 🙊
I don't get why some people here are saying that she has not aged well?? I think she looks very good for her age (and much more importantly, she seems like a decent and nice person)!
She is so real. Not afraid to share her true feelings. She is expressing herself very clearly. I think thats whats making her look more beautiful..
She's def voting Trump seeing as the democrats want socialism and communism; which they escaped
Hi you, I know your channel and I agree with your comment.
@@adreethomas2844 my channel?
No she doesn't, idiot American.
Do you know that Tyra Banks fired her off of Top Model because she was looking too old? And she she still looked really young than.
I feel for her. I was married to a man for 27 years and he completely cut me off when we divorced. No contact, none of my belongings... I can relate. I feel for her.
"my belongings"
Isn't getting divorced just that not sure why you would want to have anything to do with a divorced partner
Your husband completely cut you out of his life because he probably had another woman on the side.
The lesson here is DON'T GET MARRIED
You might want to look in the mirror when looking for reasons why your husband of 27 years decided to divorce you. Women initiate 75% of divorces (often because of their 'feelings'). Men, on the other hand, tend to stick it out..because men are practical. A man doesnt stay with a woman for 27 years..and 'all of a sudden' wake up one day and decide he wants a divorce. More than likely, he reached a point where he simply couldnt stand being around you anymore.
Think about all the things that you used to do for him early in your marriage...and what things you just quit doing for him. Did you let yourself go physically? Did you quit having sex with him (or the type of sex with him that he craved)? Did you make him feel special? Did you nag/complain to him about trivial stuff?
If your physical looks is what primarily attracted a man into marriage...then you better do whatever it takes to stay in shape/take care of your body (even after having kids). After all, if the financial ability of a man is something that attracted you to him...he BETTER be able to maintain that financial ability (which is perfectly reasonable).
I dont feel sorry for women in their 50's who complain about being 'ignored' by men/society....when they themselves (when they were much younger/hotter) IGNORED most men/most of those in society. Aint payback a M0F0?
I really love that Paulina is opening up and sharing with everyone. This is very very important
Very impressive that she hasn't touched her face and she's aging gracefully. She's a beautiful woman
Sagisli Are you insane? Kidding, or just young and naive? She’s only 54, but looks 65. She has wrinkles beyond her numerical age and leathery skin signifying Way too much sun exposure. Maybe it’s just the hard knocks she’s had, grief and sun damage, but she’s not aging gracefully. That’s very kind of you to say though.
@@jaeshasway Really??? How ugly of you.
She hasn't aged well. She looks like she's in her 60s.
Elli Gilberg if the truth is ugly then so be it
Yes Paulina and Christy Turlington are fighting the good fight.
Notice to ladies, “Always have your own bank account!” ( advice from an attorney and former business law teacher).
Who says she didn't? Her? LOL She's playing victim to the hilt.
since they were still married, it’s seems that she’s still entitled...considering there would have been alimony if he lived. He can’t just leave her out of the will and that’s it. They were married.
@@user-oe7yi2wz6j Broadcast your glaring ignorance a little more publicly why don't you.
En Joy Uh that’s a dumb comment. Wills don’t affect JOINT accounts that’s why they’re called JOINT ACCOUNTS. Any owner can access as much as they want at any time.
Antrelise Gantt Yes he can. All through history men have left their wives out of their wills.
She can contest it but it sounds like her two sons are part of the four children (out of six) that received something so she may not. Then again, her making it public suggests she will.
I feel sorry for her because she's in her 50s and she still hasn't learned what toxic love is. To be still visibly upset and in love with a man who clearly just used her for her beauty and youth. She is so beautiful even now. She clearly doesn;t know her worth.
she thinks she's worth way more than she is by her words tbh. she lost her advantage and doesn't know how to live as a normal person. it's pathetic
I know exactly how she feels. She and I are the same age and we both lost our partners suddenly. My partner of 14 years died suddenly of an aggressive form of liver cancer in May of 2021 only weeks after his diagnosis. He thankfully did not betray me in the way her husband did, but feeling like that person was your rock, your stability and safety and then suddenly having to learn how to live and navigate life without them is so scary and daunting. I also read that she was going through menopause (which can be awful) at the time...as was I...and having to deal with all the tribulations that come with that which only served to exacerbate the grieving process. My heart goes out to her. I hope she is finding a way to heal and gain peace.💞
The longer you are free & single & independent, the clearer your life and purpose becomes.
I got ME babe@@TheRhNegative
I'm not sure why you would feel "betrayed" if you were separated, and beginning divorce proceedings....?
@@danielc1978 Because she felt she put everything...her whole life and earnings into the marriage and he cut her out of his will like she never mattered, that's why. They shared a life and two sons, surely that has to count for something? The betrayal is multi-faceted. She's also grief stricken, naturally so it made the whole process that much more difficult.
He was 21 yrs her senior. She'd been abandoned by her father. Imagine how it feels to be abandoned again, by the man she devoted 30 yrs to, who was very much a father-figure to her. Even when you're the most beautiful woman in the world, deep inside, it's heartbreaking. Her sadness is palpable.
Goes to show you. Never- ever reveal your weakness or fears. Even to those who profess to love you. There will come a day when they can/will use it to hurt/destroy you - for whatever reason :(
He obviously need someone he could control but not love, which she thought was love.
@movingonandup773 ... so I'm wondering: what happened to all her income? Did it go to her biological children?
@Corno di Bassetto
Crazy, she definitely was not a feminist.
She's disgusting to make his death about herself. 👎
She is so honest with the interviewer, laying out her inner self. That takes a huge amount of strength. Kudos to her!
It's like this angel is so honest and open to everyone...
She was always honest. Damn.
I know, I am so shocked by how straight she talks... I mean: "it was conforting to be possessed", "the moment you'll find out I am not that great, you'll leave me too"
She is begging for money - yeah real honest,
@@jeffj2495 No matter the subject, no matter the person, someone always has to have a negative comment.
She deserves find somebody that love her as she loves. Her personality is so special & she looks fantastic
Her husband sounds like an absolute chad.
She gave him an ultimatum and he called her bluff.
is that what happened? if so, he is the man)
They're not bringing out the real story and since he's dead he can't back himself up. This woman is starting to really sound like a clown.
I always wonder why this beautiful young, woman who was excited about life would fall for Ocasek . Now I understand how her parents leaving her affected her decisions.
A model falling for a rock star was a trend back in the day. Considering how they never last, she managed to keep him around longer than the rest.
Ocasek was a multimillionaire.
@@candythompson9863 she managed to keep him around or did he manage to keep her around due to her lack of self esteem and longing for some sense of family?
Get real, he was famous and rich.
Crunch Berries So was she:)
I have not seen a person so honest about themselves.
She is so genuine, it shows on her face.
According to an article on Forbes, apparently Ocasek alleged that she had abandoned him before a surgery and that's why he disinherited her. From this interview you'd never think that's what she did which makes me wonder what really happened. Also, looks like she sued and won part of Ocasek's estate in 2021.
She is so lovely and seems so genuine. It is insane that, after all those years, he cut her out of his will…even if she hadn’t put all her own earnings into their marital finances. As for her age and her natural beauty, cosmetic companies are foolish to consider her “too old,” particularly since Gen X is her age now, too, and, like her, they are aging well. Consider that the woman who played Aunt Bee on the old Mayberry show was about Paulina’s age at the time! Aging ain’t what it used to be!
No they are not aging well. In general, They are insecure, frightened, "pick me" types who see themselves are perpetually 19 years old and stuck there forever. Not all. But a whole lot. It's embarrassing to see.
"Maybe I took too much energy to love..." My heart broke when she said that.
Maybe because she dumped him when he was ill and dying and she had other men? www.showbiz411.com/2019/11/08/exclusive-ric-ocasek-was-diagnosed-with-cancer-just-before-his-death-resented-estranged-wife-paulina-porizkovas-boyfriend-ed-solomon It's Ric that died of a broken heart. So sad that people will only believe the pretty lady.
yup! That is probably what he convinced her of. My gosh, I can't believe he left her nothing. They were not formally divorced yet, I could see if that had been finalized already but not before. I'd be curious when he noted this in his trust/will, like was it years ago or just recently. That would be awful if he had this listed in his will/trust like a decade ago when she was under the impression he was still happy w/ their marriage.
@@CS-ow4gl She separated from him in 2017. She left him when he was ill and his health was declining and lovey dovey with new men. She was divorcing him after all that time...most persons - male or female - would remove their future ex from their will at that time.
Her comments and her history are reminiscent of Borderline Personality Disorder--which wouldn't be a surprise given the abandonment she experienced.
@@thewarmthofthesun1 absolutely the complex ptsd from the abandonment was perfectly explained by the large ego with no self-esteem comment. I totally relate.
She is so naturally beautiful, and at 54 she still looks natural. Doesn’t have that Botox look or plastic surgery. Gorgeous.
IKR?! And this is a woman who has made a living off of her face. It says a lot that she hasn't touched it and is comfortable in her own skin.
She is ok, very nice and she is still beautiful. But she looks older than 54!
Becky Cook she was beautiful! No longer 🙄... she’s old and not attractive like everybody else...
Adriana Camara
I agree with you!
But it’s good that she doesn’t have botox
Oh my goodness what a story!!! Much respect to this woman for being brave and pushing through!!!
My God what a lovely women, she emits beauty grace and class in all her pictures and interviews. She posses a rare beauty deep within her soul.
I really do feel for her plight, ive been through similar with an ex who refuses to pay me my settlement.
Paulina is EXACTLY the type of women i would like to follow and look up too, she comes across as the beautiful kind neighbor you can always call and relie on.
That aside, she really is underestimating herself, she has a fantastic body and a very beautiful face, i cannot believe the top cosmetic brands are not using her to sell there products.
I think she should do her own podcast/lifestyle, makeup and anti ageing products herself, im 52 not all of us want cosmetic surgery/botox etc, but choose to live with the daily changes and except them as permanent sometimes, that does not mean that we do not want to look as great as we can, i think Paulina said it all in her interview but missed the fact she IS in fact the obvious gap between surgery/giving up and should lead the way for us all........as the little red hen said "if you wont help me, ill do it myself".
Her honesty is a beautiful thing and her grace is so apparent, she is an example for all women to strive and a great influence to see that nobody needs plastic surgery Botox or any unnecessary surgical procedures. She was attached to her husband, and his sudden death was a terrible shock for her because she loved him. I wish all the best for her and her children
This is real natural beauty!! No fake lips, squinty eyes and pulled back face. These celebrities that are just in 30s&40s who do all this stuff to their face, look older than if they just let themselves age naturally. Her outside matched her inside too.
you can't be this stupid and naive, jeez

Ur sweet. I always get a sweet vibe off Paulina and she's never seemed to see how gorgeous she was ( and still is ). I have always love how humble and self deprecating she is. Good people see good in others and kind hearts see other kind hearts and the rest can shove it up their cranky krank. Bless you darling!
@@mandysimmons2769 I agree with you too
People often think if your beautiful, famous and rich your life is perfect. But real happens to all of us. God bless her and heal her 💞. She is moving through a lot.
I have found that the people that are very beautiful are usually the most insecure because that is what they are judged on by most people and they realize that.
You are beautiful inside and out. You look amazing!!
How incredibly honest and brave of you to speak out. You are extremely intelligent and lovely. I wish you the best. I cannot believe how much you have been through. Your an amazing soul!
Surely she can contest the will? But moral of the story: never completely entrust all your power or money to a partner.
Married for 43 years and our money has always been separated.
Exactly!
She is contesting the will and I hope she prevails
If they started divorce proceedings she might be able to contest the estate.
So true! And get a prenup!
She was with him 30 years. I don’t care what their problems were. Relationships are complicated. She deserves to be awarded her share from her contribution to their financial success.
Let this be a lesson to women, have your own money and save it. Never build up a man. Choose a man who loves you slightly more than you love him. Women will ALWAYS give plenty to a relationship, we give and give and what do we get back in the end? Be smart.
@@KD-qx2nf So true.
@@KD-qx2nf this is horrible advice. You shouldn't get married if you are not willing to open yourself to what ever might happen. When you can be open, you are strong enough to get into a relationship.
You clearly do not understand the sanctity of marriage and for better of for worse. She abandoned Rick when he needed her most. She enjoyed the fruits of his labor for 30 years and is owed nothing.
@@GEN206 shut up
She's still gorgeous to me. I can feel her hurt through the screen. She deserves a big long comforting hug.
Growing up with Paulina and the other supermodels in the 80s as the bar of beauty, I can only say that it was super difficult for me to find my own beauty. Decades later, I see I was always enough, my own measure was so skewed. Very grateful to have seen a tidbit of her real self; not the glamour lie, but a real woman who is aging and who sees herself as human; I only wish I had known better then… thank you for sharing this~ a new respect grows
She was such a beauty then. She’s more beautiful now. The passing of years cannot do much to a person who is beautiful in and out.
She was truly so generous with her journey in this interview
@Ofentse I totally agree. She's more of a lady about it than I would of been

Everyone loves her, she is an incredibly warm and kind person. I hope she is ok
I love her line about still being afraid to be found an imposter. Perfect.
Ric should've thanked his lucky stars every day that a guy who looked like him could've found someone so beautiful, intelligent AND genuine to love him. She was and is the full package.
No kidding! The guy was F'g hideous! Plus 21 years her senior. I cant imagine having to look up at him. Ewwwwwww!
well said. i wonder why he did such a rotten thing to her. makes you wonder what part of the story we arent getting, but she seems so genuine and decent.
@Anna Johansson If he was prepared to do the dirty on them he would also do on PP and did.
@@SDiskic I totally agree!
Eh, he was famous, im sure he had that advantage to get who he wanted.
Just goes to show you can spend your entire life with someone and still not know them at all. I feel bad for her.
Its scary to love😣
Why? She cheated on him years ago and now wants money.
+DroidXPhone No she didn't cheat on him. They've been separated since 2017. Dating Solomon in 2019. If he didn't want to see her move on why didn't he get a divorce? Why cut your children out when you have that kind of money??? He is the one who got married three times, did his original children even ever see him?
Mark Martin You must you must you must be careful who you marry. You better know them. And you better know yourself at least somewhat.
TofuCutie she never che@ted, stop lying on this woman. He’s the one who refused to sign the divorce papers, are women supposed to just stick around with che@ters
Dang! I really want to know why he cut her out. She was 19, had no real life experience. Like she said, she grew up with him knowing nothing else. She put all her money into the marriage. They had children. Did he have dementia? Was she terrible with money and figured their sons would take care of her? What happened? It’s crazy! Why would you cut out someone who left a lucrative career and dedicated their entire lives to you? I’m shocked!!
She is still stunning!❤
I almost cried at her open, raw heartache. I really appreciate the honesty. Also, there is such an elegance and grace to her. She is beautiful.
There's just something about Eastern European women... p.s. there is beauty in ALL women
Same here!
Yeah, she had a rough life. Right...
@@Jason-gt6ko nowhere in my statement did I say that she's had the hardest life in the world. but clearly she's had heartache. Pain is pain and not everyone would be willing to be open about it so publicly.
It’s called “narcissism”
Forget her physical looks. She is SO charming, that is the real beauty there.
Physical beauty is a priority with all things. Think whole, not partial, and physicality is a priority.
no matter how much you simp, she's not going to bang you, give it up.
No it's her vulnerability and honesty about her emotions. Charm can be false.
She hit the wall HARD. Stop simpin' brah. ✋️
@@chrisscanlon3717 She really didn’t. It’s your opinion ofc, but I feel she’s still beautiful.
"I have to learn how to use my wings now." And that genuine facial expression at the end... I re-watched it several times. She seems to be a wonderful person. Her physical beauty, which she credited to parents or god already while very young, is probably nothing compared to how beautiful she is "inside".
I always loved seeing her in magazines in the 80s. She was so beautiful and still is, but you always think these people have perfect lives, and then you see, no one does.
When one or both parents choose to leave you, it haunts you forever.
Ric played up her daddy issues. Good for him.

I hope that’s sarcasm. She’s deplorable to trash her late husband after his death and not being able to defend himself. No wonder he cut her out. Zero class
@@somchai9033 I thought it was creepy when the interviewer asked her if she had any idea why Ric cut her out of his will and she says, no, I have no idea! Seriously! What a liar. They were separated for years and she had her movie director boyfriend Ed Solomon. I don't know anyone who leaves their personal fortune to an ex. It's also creepy that she says that she was abandoned when Ric said that she abandoned him - and she did! She did leave him. But she has to make it all about her without any thought for their sons. She is very manipulative and creepy.
I agree, she seems like 360° beautiful. And very classy, as you said
@@d.e.p.5624 She's not telling the truth in this interview. It's not classy to dump your husband when he becomes old and ill; she's been dating Ed Solomon for years. She did abandon him.

Wonderful lady. Beauty, sensibility, honesty. How can you divorce a person like that. She was a gift!
She has always been a natural beauty, inside and out💗 My heart goes out to her.
she is more beautiful than any model today. REAL. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!
She doesn’t need makeup because she looks beautiful without it! Wish her all the best and hopefully she will prevail in whatever she comes across.
Paulina’s inner beauty outshines everything. Truly a gorgeous,pure soul. There are 4 year old children who I have met in my life, who are beautiful,”old souls.” Paulina is an,”old soul”. I identify with her story and history, buttons her’s is much harsher than mine. Still, pain is pain,and Father Time is relentless in his mission. No one has any entitlement with,” ole pa time.” Paulina is such an inspiration and roll model for women. We are ALL gloriously beautiful from day 1 until our last breath. Paulina has found Serenity and is totally comfy in her own skin. Sorry for your loss, sweet,dear Paulina. You were and stayed and are,”TRUE,” to yourself.May you always be surrounded by Light and Love and all that is honest, kind, and gentle. Rick grew into a better person because of you. So wonderful that forgiveness is part of your nature.Namaste, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. We all have the opportunity to grow through our sorrow and disappointments🌈🌟❤️🌎 ☮️🧚🏻🎶😘.

Me too. My heart hurt so bad when I heard those words. That's exactly how I feel all the time.

Heartbreaking……
I'm tired of people acting like older women are supposed to be treated the same as younger women no matter what.
Stop praising her. When she was young, she never gave two flips about older models who were being dropped by their product line.
She had her youth, and she lived a much better life than most people ever will. Shut up.

@@grantnoroyan4083 a typical comment from a man. And I'm gonna bet one that's under 40, probably 30. FYI, outer beauty fades on is all if we are LUCKY enough to age. We will all look the same when we're in our 70s! It amazes me how people, especially men, are so critical of women as they age and yet they just think they can trade a woman in for a younger one once she hits a certain expiration date, if you will. You have to put more into what is on the inside b/c if you don't like the person you're with or if you're a total cad, you're going to be pretty lonely, either being totally alone or going through women like underwear. And once you hit a certain expiration date, no one will want you because you have nothing to offer personality wise or emotionally unless you're wealthy. But how sad is that? Man, it's a messed up world we live in today when people have the wrong priorities.

Hesitated to watch what looked like a model interview. Terrific interview. So articulate, humble, soulful and come across with a genuineness.
Too bad it's only her side. I'm puzzled that she doesn't mention that they were separated, for quite a while, and she had boyfriends. Ric probably thought the divorce was about to go through and, being in ill health, he changed his will. Why would he leave anything to his ex-wife? She's independently wealthy. I'm sure the attorneys will sort it out and she'll get what ever common assets they had coming to her. So tacky to speak ill of the dead. www.showbiz411.com/2019/11/08/exclusive-ric-ocasek-was-diagnosed-with-cancer-just-before-his-death-resented-estranged-wife-paulina-porizkovas-boyfriend-ed-solomon
@@firenze5555 Truthfully aside from the interview I don't know anything about her. Big Cars fan and admirer of Ocasek and was saddened by his death from cancer. If she was brushing over some of the details in order to varnish her own image ... just confirms there's always more than one side of a story.
@@theHAL9000 I'm also a big Cars fan and fan of Ocasek and Benjamin Orr and the others. Ocasek's lyrics and music are awesome. It just bothers me that Ocasek isn't here to defend himself (and he was very private) but she makes it sound like they were married and together til the end when in fact she left him and had some boyfriends going on, not waiting til the divorce was final. I understand why he felt abandoned. Everyone believes the pretty lady without looking into both sides.
firenze55 See your point but he could have been gracious about the decades they had together. This is the problem with young girls marrying much older men. The men eventually are unable to perform marital duties...so then what? I always wondered what happens to these May-December couples at this exact point...wife in 50s, husband elderly...now what? Also I don't think she speaks ill of him...you can see her grief on her face. She still very much loved hin, but perhaps he was unable to accept that her love had taken on a new form.
@@sojournertam4620 Was the new form of her love? www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-7029201/Paulina-Porizkova-makes-public-debut-new-boyfriend-one-year-divorce-announcement.html Ric would have to have a heart of stone not to be deeply hurt by these actions. BTW, she was 24 when she married him, so she was well old enough to know what she was doing. She left him when his health was declining and he needed her the most. This is a mess of her making. If she took her marital vows seriously - in sickness and in health - and didn't dump him for another man, she wouldn't be in this legal picadillo. Yes, she puts him in a bad light and says she's betrayed and abandoned - crazy! Not cool when they have 2 sons and this can be sorted out discreetly with attorneys. She's just trying to drum up sympathy when she goes after his personal fortune like royalties. She will get half of their community property and assets but she wants more. Greedy.
That is so incredibly sad. She seemed to have truly loved her husband - I hope she finds peace throughout this process. What a beautiful woman inside and out!
What a lovely human being. Trauma repeats itself, sadly. I wish nothing but blessings for her. 🥰
Unbelievable. Anyone who saw her when she was young couldn't believe how incredibly lucky O'Casek was to win her over. He must have lost his mind.
Agreed, something was wrong; maybe he did a few too many drugs in the 90's. She's still a major babe!
She certainly didnt marry him for looks!
shes super conservative and right wing. Wouldnt be surprised if she was a big Trump supporter and thats why the separation.
@@itubeutubewealltube1
I highly doubt that after so many years of marriage. Such a trivial topic. This woman is intelligent with alot of depth.
I think it's more probable that he began to distance himself. He possibly could have known he was sick. Some men can't handle it and want to be alone when they're ill.
What a transparent vulnerable beautiful woman🙏God bless you Paulina...i wish you healing and restitution💟
This Woman is so real and approachable. I wish this interview were 90 minutes long. Amazing person. 💖
I like following Paulina online. She is often very eloquent and wise. But she obviously still has some serious abandonment and "father figure" issues that made her cling to and seek approval from Ric even after he'd made it clear he wanted nothing to do with her anymore. I hope she continues to grow beyond them.
She seems like a nice person and a sincere person. Of course, I say that as someone who doesn't know her personally. She just gives off a likeable and down to Earth vibe.
I totally agree and couldn't have said it better.
She was a neighbor of mine for years; very sweet, down-to-earth, and very nice to dogs and dog lovers.
Agreed
@@Osnosis You have to love the animal lovers!
Paulina deserved a man who truly loved her for eternity.. Ric seemed like a heartless, unappreciative, bitter old man
never liked him
F*** off nice guy
The husband of my friend's siter-in-law ended their 25 years marriage because he wanted to have eye candy like his 50+ friends and she was not pretty enough. He was not even cheating but wanted to be free to be a tom cat. They divorced and he went on to leave like a twenty something.
His oldest son, then 14, heard his own father dismiss his mom like she was an old shoe.
The end result? He was robbed twice by the 20 somethings eye candy he was involved (by thousands of dolars). When he had cancer his ex-wife was the one caring for him for the sake of their boys... who never spoke to him again after the misery he brought to their mom... not even in deathbed.
Sounds like he changed. Sometimes this happens one person rejects the other even when the other still has love and they are the same person. Quite common.
Oh no not her too.. we really need to teach people how to choose good partners in school smh
I really admire her grace and strength. Can't wait to read her book
Hi, Beautiful! Thank you for everything. I remember hearing that you and Rick had married. I was in awe. You two were flying on a magic carpet. I felt so small under the bright lights, but always admired you both equally. I'm sorry that such a beautiful appearing marriage ended no different than my bland life/marriage. We will overcome. And, we are just a little older, much wiser, and lifting each other up.

So classy and kind the way she throws her dead husband under a bus.
@@PlumbNutz And throw her under a Car? You must have repressed the portion of the interview about him cutting two of his sons, as well as his wife, out of his will. Family money; it wasn't all his to dictate. Devastating.

Hello ilov you very very beautiful very very lovely 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
You are wonderful. Keep on keeping on!
In life there are 2 stories. Everyone always forgets that. Would have been nice for her to hear his side. A man does not suddenly die and exclude his wife from his will. Something made him go there and perhaps her children can help her in connecting the dots.
Nobody is forgetting that. For this kind of case it doesnt matter. If you were married and made a life together then you pledged to share it regardless of good days or bad days or fleeting attitudes. That's what marriage is. Sharing everything is how you have complete trust in each other which leads to deeper relationship. You dont just change your mind when someone has pledged their life to you. Even if they were on bad terms you have to respect the other person's sacrifices. He must have turned into an appalling person, period.
the original, the first and by far the most beautiful supermodel of them all.
Absolutely !!!
Not by any means was she the "first". Go back to the 1960's and you will find the original Supermodels But I like her. She has her place.

Her and Gia
Yes, Gia n Paulina needed their mother's when they were growing up. Sometimes, parents died young. It can feel like abandonment too for some children.
Everyone commenting on her parents in her beauty, which is undeniable. But I’m mostly captivated by her story and her strength and her pain. Wow.
She created her pain of being left out of his Will when she left him in 2017, to live with another man. Will is valid. She sues she will look so bad,
this woman needs to be more famous again she’s beautiful and has a great personality
Time is the great healer.It is ok to experience all those emotions,love ,betrayal, anger,depression.But the big question of why will always haunt you!.You will find the inner strength to carry on and day by day the healing starts without you ever noticing.56 and full of life and good health thats all you can ask for! Good luck to you Ms.Porizkova you deserve to be happy!
She articulately described her lovelife, and elegantly expressed her hurt and resentment. Hugs.

I agree. Who wouldn't have felt betrayed. I wish her all the happiness in life. Hope she does good.
I did read she sorted the money side of it out though. Good job I hope her and her sons got their fair share of that.
She should write an autobiography about her life. She is so smart and I’d love to read about her life. I think she’s amazing.
Edith Carter, she did write a book about becoming a model, with a fictitious girl who comes to America and begins a modelling career at a very young age. Sounds a lot like what she must have gone through in her own life. Find it on Amazon, along with a children's book she also wrote.
She's an amazing, articulate lady.
Oh my god, YES. She’s genuinely very caring thoughtful person.
I have a dystopian Mandela recollection of sketching her as a teenager. BUT thi sketch is long gone and I COULDN’T have sketched her her from a photograph I remember seeing from the time. Really really odd feeling.
I was an artist in paper and pencil at that time. I make objects in metal now. She wouldn’t have been old enough to have been photographed at the time I made the drawing. Haven’t thought about that till just now. Weird.

I briefly met Paulina at a meet and greet for Estée Lauder in ‘88. Not thinking I reached over the table to touch her hair and to tell her how much I loved her hair. The security was on top of me in a split second. Paulina quickly deescalated the situation. She rubbed my motorcycle jacket sleeve which was paired and covers in punk rock stickers and told me she loved it. Then she said you can touch my hair. I just gently ran my hand down it. She signed her pic to me Great Jacket Love, Paulina
I was a 17 year old fashion design student. This encounter made my year. She was sweet then. She is sweet, beautiful, and so intelligent now. Her IG in top notch. That’s my Paulina story.
OMG. Your story made me cry. Clearly, you are as beautiful and as humble as Paulina. And her hair -- so long and beautiful! No wonder you wanted to touch it!
Don't touch people's hair! That's not cool. But yeah, I get you.
