Iconic 70s actress sparks strong reactions after walking her dogs.

“Looks fantastic for 86 and out for a stroll — what else could you wish for?” one admirer commented.

Others were not as complimentary, remarking, “Too many procedures” or “What happened to her face?”

These responses highlight society’s persistent fixation on youth, particularly for women who were once hailed as icons of beauty.

In 2025, the actress made a rare public appearance over the weekend, and fans could barely recognize her.

The 88-year-old actress and filmmaker was seen in Los Angeles on July 13, walking her dogs. She opted for a relaxed look in a white summer blouse, black flared leggings, a black fedora, and simple sandals.

Finding solace through faith

Amidst it all, she has discovered something more profound than fame: faith.

“Praying, that’s what keeps me grounded,” she revealed.

Identifying as a “big God girl,” she is candid about how her spirituality has helped her navigate life’s obstacles.

“After experiencing some of the things I’ve gone through, I couldn’t make sense of the world, so I turned to something that did,” she explained.

For her, faith is not just personal but also active.

The Oscar-nominated actress leads a monthly Bible study at her residence and dedicates her time weekly to assist recovering addicts, providing them with encouragement and hope.
