were you attracted to her when she was in her 50s ?

Some women (e.g. Raquel Welch, Jaclyn Smith, Lynda Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer, et al.) remain stunning into their fifties -- they look better than women twenty, twenty-five years younger. Now some of those women achieve this with a little artificial help, but they still have to take care of themselves and live a healthy lifestyle. And some women don't seem ever to have any work done, or try to look a day younger than their actual ages, and yet they still age gracefully, and are beautiful. I think Helen Mirren is a perfect example of this.

Alas, Carrie Fisher was not one of these women. I think she was aging enviably well, and looked very good, even well into her forties. And then... Maybe it was the lifelong drug abuse she never was able to kick entirely (her autopsy found cocaine and traces of opiates in her system), but I don't think she looked good at all in the last decade of her life. It wasn't just the slight weight gain; she developed a scratchy, prematurely aged voice, and she had a permanent pinched look to her face. Seriously, look at literally any photo of her taken in the last decade of her life, and she has this odd, pursed-lips expression glued to her face.

Perfect example:

Here she is with her mother, just a year or so before their deaths (her mother died the day after she did), and Debbie Reynolds is fifteen years older, and looks the same age, if not just a bit younger. And I think that's largely due to the fact that Reynolds has a normal, natural, pleasant expression, and Fisher has that drawn, tight-lipped expression she always had toward the end.
