VIDEO

Let’s Face It: women explore their aging faces (Documentary)
Wendy Oser, Joan Levinson, and Beverley Spencer
I love this video! Seven articulate women, age 45 to 63, speak openly, honestly and with wry humor on the reality of the sags, bags, and wrinkles on their faces while watching themselves on videotape. As they reveal feelings of ambivalence, vanity, and anxiety to each other, their attitudes toward aging move toward acceptance.
