Ann-Margert

On this one, you can tell she wasn't going to age well (but she actually aged better than the rest). On the others it looks like they should have aged well and didn't.

Kinda. It was a backhanded compliment.

Lets put it this way.

When they were young I rate them as:
Aretha
Anita
Ann-Marget

As they grew old I rank them as:
Ann-Marget
Aretha
Anita

Pretty much. I was just shocked at how smoking hot Aretha was

Yep. And she is one of the 5 greatest female singers ever, IMHO.

Ann-Margret > Aretha and Anita combined, both young and old. Ever seen Bye Bye Birdy?

You are a sucker for plastic surgery. And Aretha Franklin made it because of her voice, not her ordinary looks. Now Dianna Ross, that was a beauty. Let's see her before and after.

Nowadays, the definition of black beauty is to look white, with straightened hair, narrow nose, light black skin. Everyone on the street is Hollywood.

outside of Lindsay Lohan picture (that'll cause your balls to rise back up INTO your body)...

by comparison to how incredibly hot she was, and in the sense that she doesn't resemble herself much. Not like she didn't age well, just more of a surprise.

Mary, from Peter Paul and Mary didn't age gracefully (on a visual spectrum..on a spiritual level, yes).

However, Michelle Phillips and Sally Fields are both good looking.

Catherine Bach...nach.
