      No she doesn't. She has glowy skin and has all of her hair go gray, and she still has a youngish sounding voice.

      Im 63, but I dont look anywhere near as old as she looks. However, I love her hair style and the color. I color my hair. Dont go gray, yet. Everyone says I do not look my age. Its makeup and hair color. I dont have as many wrinkles. Dont smoke, drink alot of water, use wrinkle and skin care cream. But just use Walmart brand 7 effects face cream. For a long time I used Oil of Olay 7 effects. I like it too, but it costs quite a bit more. I like the Oil of Olay when I dont have on makeup, like at night time. But I like the equate 7 effects to put on before my makeup. Oil of Olay is more Oily then equate and doesnt make my face shine as much.
