I guess the thing is that over the years—when Elle was at the height of
her career—her youthful image was in the media nearly every day, so
that tends to be how we remember her, now that she's seldom in our
daily media every second day.        In effect, we've not really seen a
progression of her natural aging over time.

And it's really nonsensical to be shocked when we see someone who's
today forty years older than our memory lets us acknowledge.

At 76 years of age, I'm certainly not the handsome young spunk I was
at 26, which raises the question of why exactly we judge aging women
much more harshly than aging males.
