Bernadette Peters: Good Genes or Good Docs?

Film, television and stage star Bernadette Peters has been acting and singing professionally since she was ten-years-old -- which from the looks of it was only a few years ago!

34. I worked with Bernadette in 1985. Every time she was outdoors she always used an umbrella to block the sun and was lathered with sunblock. I have no doubt that the extreme measures she took back then are what makes her look so beautiful now.

35. I remember her as an actress also and she didnt look nearly as good back then. So I would have to say that, yes, she has had work done. I won't try to figure out what kind. However, she does look good...much better, than she used to.

36. What do you mean "she didn't look nearly as good back then?" Bernadette Peters has been known as one of the great beauties for decades. Your memory must be playing tricks.

37. She was on Law and Order:SVU a few years back and looked rough. I saw her more recently on some morning show and looked much better, so obviously something was done. Her skin is too tight to be natural.

38. I think she probably stayed out of the sun. Aging has almost NOTHING to do with genetics. Kids take notes. The tanning/sunbathing will catch up with you!

39. Wasn't that Law and Order episode done shortly after her husband died? She did have dark circles under her eyes and looked pretty sombre. Her appearance there might have had something to do with the husband's death.

40. Wonder if its a coincidence that this is up the same weekend as Patti Lupone is about to win a Tony for Gypsy...a role Bernie didn't win for...

41. OMG, "greatest beauties," not hardly. Like I said, she looks much better now. Look at her in The Longest Yard (the Burt Reynolds version), she looks like tish. However, I did give her props for looking better now.

Why do so many people feel the need to get into a debate about my comments? Am I not entitled to my own opinion? I think I am, and so are you. So politely, eff off! You think she looked good back in the 80s, I didn't, and still don't! And my memory regarding her looks, as proved by google, is intact. Thank you very much--NOT!

42. I think natural. Take a look at her neck...most celebs get work done on their face but you can see their true age around the neck and chest area (loose, wrinkled skin). She looks gorgeous!

43. NO FREAKIN WAY!!!!!

44. Annoying and one-dimensional...is that in the genes as well???

45. OMG, I'm sorry to say this, but I could have SWORN that she had passed away! Relieved to hear that I was wrong!!!
I always liked her --- BTW, she looks GREAT!
