Is Mia still really this Fair(row)? Normally, it's not my style to get all hot and bothered over the issue of airbrushing. But this new Gap ad featuring 61-year-old Mia Farrow has done the trick. Featured not only on the Gap Web site, but also in the current Vanity Fair and today's New York Times, it looks like Mia Farrow circa 1968, except that her hair is longer and she looks a bit tired. For some reason, her famous name is not in the Times ad, but when I read it in Vanity Fair, I did a triple take. —Posted by Catharine P. Taylor

she looks so young, woody allen might take her back.

No, she is not that fair anymore. Nor is anyone. I doubt that a photo of a celebrity -- young or old -- has ever been published that has not been thoroughly airbrushed.

"your silenece"? Ok, someone help me decipher these ads, I'm not following....

Yeah, um, I don't think she'd take Woody Allen back. There's still the small matter of his wife -- her daughter...

her eyes are so creepy.

I don't know, I saw her in person a few years ago at the bookstore where I worked, and she looked pretty amazing. She has clearly stayed out of the sun over the years.

I saw her in the bookstore, too. Very little make up, if any. Still a beauty.

hj - snap.

But she’s still not young enough.

Posted by: Woody Allen | Aug 20, 2006 1:57:57 PM

She always looks this breathtaking, its not just this photo,
Her beauty is as undeniable now as it has ever been.
Not even most 20 year olds can achieve that glow.
