Rachel Ward at 68 Defies Aging Critics

British actress and former model Rachel Ward, 68, pushed back against online comments that she has aged poorly after posting a makeup-free Instagram video. In an ABC News interview she says she won’t bow to age-obsessed pressures, embraces aging as a positive life phase, and has begun celebrating her gray hair. Ward, who lives with husband Bryan Brown on a farm in Australia, notes that society’s fixation on youth for women is limiting and that aging can be fulfilling, a stance she has reiterated after sharing messages from fans who praised her new outlook.
