On April 3, 2014, Jane Goodall turned 80. The iconic blond ponytail has gone gray, but the sparkle of intelligence, sly humor, and fierce dedication still shines from her hazel eyes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'
It's a hard thing to age a character because you can't really suddenly give someone gray hair.
I've always said that gray hair looks good on everybody but yourself. To me, it makes me look old.
I was fed up with being just plain Jane.
It's so mental how I looked in the '90s. The fact that I thought my ponytail was a good thing - it was just terrible. Cutting it off was so monumental.
Her makeup, hair and general quirkiness overshadow the fact that Cyndi Lauper was one the most soulful chicks to come out of the '80s.
Old Hollywood glamour just seems, well, old.
At the age of 41, I'm glad I still have hair.
You know, my hair is very upsetting to people, but it's upsetting on purpose. It is important to look old so that the young will not be afraid of dying. People don't like old women. We don't honor age in our society, and we certainly don't honor it in Hollywood.
My mother's favorite photograph was one of herself at twenty-four years old, unbearably beautiful, utterly glamorous, in a black-straw cartwheel hat, dark-red lipstick, and a smart black suit, her notepad on a cocktail table. I know nothing about that woman.
