3. Well, God bless "Elly." We all get old, and I've seen far worse-looking 75-year olds. Though I grew tired of "The Beverly Hillbillies", I never grew tired of her.

5. You seem to be getting a lot of mean-spirited pleasure in showing photos of older celebrities and comparing how they looked back then to how they look now. You're putting out some very bad Karma by doing this. All of you will be older someday, and then Generation X at that time can be showing photos of how YOU look when you're old. There is an alternative to growing old, of course -- you can always die young. What is it about this country that causes us to have such disrespect and disdain for senior citizens? I don't see this in any other country, where most of the world seems to respect and value their elders. Just another one of the many ways our country and our society have gone astray and turned cruel.

6. Janet Nichols - I totally agree with your post. And...what's wrong with the world (OUR American nation) that no one sees any issue with the way we "gossip and talk about people" that WE DON'T EVEN KNOW! How pitiful and pathetic TMZ is. What the heck happened to Harvey Levin? I used to have so much respect for him on People's Court. How would he feel if he got a taste of his own medicine. What if someone took pics of him in his own element, or video/audio record him doing private things.. and release it to the media..or write nasty things about him? Where have people's soul gone to? The devil, I presume. People are seriously selling their souls for money. Very scary.

7. I do agree with janet nichos this country do not have respect for the eldely everyone who is blessed to stay alive in this mixed up world will eventually get old and I definately count that as a blessing because there are so many young people who are dying in there teens and twentys they will never get to to the ripe age of fifty,sixty, or seventy. When a person ages not all people still look the same but hey at least they were blessed to see an elderly age and not die before there time. So TMZ maybe before you start poking fun at what a person looks like because they haved aged start saying what a blessing it is for them to even be here at such a golden age.

9. Hey, Janet...these celebrities that you are defending are smiling for the camera. Do you really think that they didn't want their pic to be taken or shown in public? If they didn't, do you think they'd show up at these events smiling all glittered out and made up? They're just pictures..something they've been used to since they've been celebrities. Chill out !!!! It has nothing to do with disrespect or disdain for senior citizens. It has to do with public curiosity as to where these people are and what they look like. And the reason you don't see this in any other countries is because they are not the USA. We are entertainment hounds...this is what fascintates those that look. BTW..how many stars pic from the past did you look at ???

10. I agree with Janet Nichols--these photos for the most part are disrespectful, plus, notice how close up the older pictures are compared to the young ones! It seems as if the young pictures are posed and prepared, while the old ones are snapped and the poor unsuspecting individual is unprepared. Mean, cruel and spiteful. Each person should at least be allowed to choose their comparison photo to make it truly fair.

11. To Janet Nichols,
You are so right. After I turned 50 it seemed liked people got mean and nasty.I see it every day.People are getting rude to older people but dont they know that they will be old someday! I am so proud that my son is polite and has concerns for the older people too. He is a police officer and can you imagine what he sees.

13. WOW! What a hottie - even at 75! (and I am only 53). What a treat to see someone not waste their life with all of the potential abuse that is out there. Her, Max Baer, Buddy Ebson, Irene Ryan, Nancy Culp and others are a prime example of what our Hollywood Stars should be portraying!! God love and take care of the soul of our dear Paul Newman and so many wonderful "REAL" stars like those gone from the BHB"s and those that continue to carry on the legacy!! Thank so much for sooooooooo many years of entertainment!

14. Donna Douglas came to our church and spoke to us. Also sang so beautiful. She spoke about her son and the loss of Pa and Granny. She's amazing.

15. She is a fine looking woman for her age; no one stays young forever, and I'm ok with getting older. I grew tired of "The Beverly Hillbillies" but never tired of watching 'Elly May.' Beauty is in the mind of the beholder! I remember as a little boy I thought my grandmother was the most beautiful woman in the world. Her beauty came from the INSIDE and as a child I experienced her lighting up my life and everyone else's who knew her. Her smile was worth a million of the forced and fake smiles we see so much of today. Some people would have looked at her and seen nothing but a wrinkled-up old woman; I saw beauty personified!
