Former "Knots Landing" star Joan Van Ark is living proof that you should never schedule a chemical peel moments before a red carpet event!
The 64-year-old, with tattoo-ish Liza brows and Sharpie eyeliner, was out at a theater event in L.A. on Saturday.
Her new look is in stark contrast to her CBS publicity photo (inset) from a few years ago. Damn!

6. She was never a "classic beauty"...but DAYYMMMM!!! Girl looks like the crypt-keeper!
That is so sad. Someone actually let her out of the house looking like this...
NOT aging gracefully.

10. Did the makeup artist a.k.a. face painter forget about her mouth and the area around it?

11. Why do you keep calling that person "her" when it's obviously a man? Scroll down so that you can't see his eyes, that's a MAN!

15. Oh dear LORD. The bruising around her mouth makes her look like a man trying to cover up 5 o'clock shadow. And why would she wear no lipstick/gloss?
There are times when you look in the mirror and decide to skip an event; this should have been one of them for her.
We've all heard of "fighting the hot", I think we need to come up with something like "fighting the old" for the Joan Rivers/Jocelyn Wildenstein-esque death masks. There's something to be said for aging gracefully.
