I suppose being so physically impressive is a blessing and a curse. But a curse that most people would like.

I think that she handled it better than most.
From the distance that I admired her, she seemed smart enough to navigate her way through some pretty shonky films, that had her in them entirely for her physical presence, and still ended up with her standing/reputation not doing that badly. Ended up with a lengthy career.

Topol, 87

I don't think it even occurred to me that he was only in his mid thirties when he appeared in FOTR, so I just imagined he was much older than 87

*rimshot*

Didn't realise she was that old. Must have been in her 50s when she was doing the lottery. A blast from the 90s...

He certainly did ! Not many sportsmen can claim to have singlehandedly and totally remodelled an event like that ...RIP
