True Glamour is AWOL

I'm finally shutting down and heading to bed. But before I go, I wanted to leave you with the following HBO movie promotional banner for Grey Gardens. Let's take a look:

Please note the subtitle of said film is "True Glamour Never Fades." Really? Then why, I ask, have they chosen what are possibly the two worst photos EVER taken of Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore to represent "true glamour"? I get they are in character. But was the creative director home sick the day they got this poster approved?

On a related note, is it me or has Jessica Lange not aged well? Or maybe it's been too long since I saw a Hollywood actress who actually looks her age.

UPDATE: Danielle has helpfully pointed me towards a recent Vanity Fair photo of both Jessica and Drew (as part of a VF interview about Grey Gardens) where they look SIGNIFICANTLY better, Jessica in particular.

Nighty night!

  1. Agree not the best photo of either, but it's particularly unkind to Jessica. There was a much better (snazzier, sexier, and still in character, thank you very much) picture of the two in April's Vanity Fair.
