“Once the epitome of ‘80s beauty, no one would recognize her now.” A recent, unfiltered photo of this legendary actress has sparked a frenzy online. In 1983, she was celebrated as the era’s most beautiful screen presence. But as the saying goes, time waits for no one.
Can you guess who’s in the picture? It’s Rachel Ward, best known for portraying Meggie in The Thorn Birds. Though once hailed as one of the most breathtaking actresses of her generation, time has inevitably left its mark.
Viewers were taken aback by her raw, makeup-free image, completely devoid of styling. Comments ranged from “I wouldn’t have recognized her,” and “If not for the caption, I’d never know it was Meggie,” to reflections like “She’s really changed,” “Time changes us all,” and a wistful, “Sad to see.” On a brighter note, others chimed in with warmth and respect: “She’s still a wonderful actress,” and “I love her, but I didn’t recognize her.”
Some remarked, “She doesn’t look like the Meggie we remember,” and, “For 67, she’s not looking great,” offering advice like, “One should always take care of oneself.”
