Justine Bateman, an actress known for her role in Family Ties, has embraced aging naturally, refusing to undergo cosmetic procedures despite societal pressures on Hollywood stars, particularly women, to maintain youthful looks. In a recent interview with 60 Minutes,
Australia, Bateman confidently shared her decision, saying, “I think I look rad.
I think my face represents who I am.” She added that she enjoys seeing the evidence of her growth and experience in her appearance, stating that altering her look would erase her authority and the person she has become over time.
She went on to admit that in the past she’s been tempted to try out things like Botox and filler in order to make herself look younger, but ultimately decided that her face is a reflection of a life well lived. “I feel like I would erase, not only all my authority that I have now, but also, I like feeling that I am a different person now than I was when I was 20,” she said. “I like looking in the mirror and seeing that evidence.”
