Justine Bateman has no ties to the idea of a younger appearance.
The former star of the 1980s sitcom Family Ties, whose acting career began when she was a teenager, recently shared why she decided against getting cosmetic surgery, saying that she is content to age naturally.
“I feel like I would erase not only all my authority that I have now,” Justine, 57, told 60 Minutes Australia in a recent interview. “But also I like feeling that I am a different person now than I was when I was 20. I like looking in the mirror and seeing that evidence.”
As the author—who previously reflected on society’s perspective on aging in her 2021 book, Face: One Square Foot of Skin—explained, she’s “sad” at the thought of younger women undergo procedures such as Botox and fillers.
“I feel sad that they’re not just enjoying life,” she said. “I feel sad that they are distracted from the things that they’re meant to do in life with this consuming idea that they’ve got to fix their face before anything else can happen.”Justine Bateman is not associated with the notion of appearing younger.
