Marisa Tomei: Good Genes or Good Docs?

Her biological clock may be ticking like this, but how the hell has Marisa Tomei managed to stop Father Time.

Here's the 27-year-old Oscar winner back in 1992 (left) -- and the 43-year-old version (right) at a NYC film premiere last week.

It's a different world from where she comes from!

16 years between pix and some obvious changes in her face in that time, as in everyone's face. She hasn't been frozen in time by overdone surgery nor has she been living a drugged-out, boozed-up life. She's kept herself up. I would say she seems to be aging naturally. Or well.

What's the point of your item?

While she does look great she also looks her age. She's got crows feet and the hollow bags under her eyes almost everyone 35 and over begins to get. She has taken care of hersefl though so that's a good thing.

You're right #7, olive oil is very good for you. And good clean living, (sleep, healthy diet, exercise, laughter, positive attitude, clean water) is what keeps you looking naturally beautiful like Marisa. Plastic surgery doesn't make you look younger, it only makes you look like you had plastic surgery, it makes you look weird.

I think Marisa looks better now than she did in 1975 (in the face and neck at least).

how can you compare a pic when she was 16 yrs younger?!! NO ONE stays the same, plus, she has a few crow's now feet which is the norm for a 43 yr-old. i doesnt appear like she had plastic surgery. to me, she's just aging gracefully.
