Joan Van Ark: What Happened?
Good heavens. I've seen some horrid cosmetic surgery in my day. Ashlee Simpson, Britney Spears, Joan Rivers, Priscilla Presley. But I do believe that this could just be one of the worst pieces of cosmetic surgery I've ever seen.
Joan Van Ark, star of 1980's soapy drama Knot's Landing, is sporting what appears to be either burn salve or an extremely bad reaction to a chemical peel at a charity event this past week. I mean, this seriously looks literally painful.
It does seem in the past few years that she's undergone some procedures, but at least in this earlier shot she didn't look quite so cadaverous. She looks kind of like Dina Lohan, dontchathink?
And in this old publicity shot from the 1980's, it looks like she's had a bit of tweaking done, but it was tastefully presented.
I hope that she just had an allergic reaction to a cosmetic or something (although that doesn't explain the spiderlashes). Why do people feel this need to surgically alter themselves to this extent? Whatever happened to aging gracefully? Did she think this would be good for her career? Well, it did get her in the gossip pages this week...
