Oh god, I just recently saw Stockard Channing on “Difficult People” and she looked hideous. Her plastic surgey was just too awful. I could not see her doing this show 6 times a week."
No. Don't do that. Please do not do that. Don't talk about "plastic surgery". I just saw Stockard in London (in person, for the 9th time in my life, October), and she looks phenomenal for her age. She's not fifty. Don't come on these boards (or any boards) and talk about someone's looks when you're hiding behind a profile. If you need a photo, I can provide it.
Stockard is one of the most flawless actresses of ALL time, and you're not going to base anything on something as speculative as plastic surgery that you just 'think' happened. RESPECT her. She's a hell of a lot better actress (and person) than many other actresses that are on this stupid list. If you want to eliminate Stockard from a Hello Dolly wish list, then say she doesn't have the pipes. Singing is the only thing she isn't perfect at. GTFOH with that. IT'S NOT OKAY!"
First of all I am not hiding behind a a profile. That profile picture is me in Fiddler.
Second of all, I love Stockard Channing as an actress but don't think she could handle doing Dolly 6 times a week. And yes, she did have plastic surgery, if you have eyes you could see it. (The caption is not mine, it is from the show "Difficult People" where she plays Andrea Martin's coke toting sister.)

If you like her as an actress or even a person (any actress/star) you wouldn't throw out those words plastic surgery. Also, I didn't say she could do 6-8 shows a week (why would she even want to?). I said, don't speculate such things. A career could be ruined by lame statements like that, and what's more; you know it!
Let me give you some background: Stockard has a problem with one knee and one ankle. She had surgery on the knee in It's Only A Play, (and before that in Other Desert Cities) and guess what? She has to take medications when her knee acts up, which is often, because she is going to be 74 years old in a few weeks. You think her medication doesn't alter her appearance? Yeah, it does, because she had the ankle problem during TWW and her face was puffy and you could tell she was ill.
My point is; enough of talking plastic surgeries about actresses (not just her, obviously). They are under huge pressure, I assume you aren't. Why don't you bitch about a twenty-year-old starlet getting plastic surgery when she's young and 'perfect' with no lines and sagging?
Also, late 2017 in London (also not my photo), she looks gorgeous:

Stockard Channing; my heart and soulmate.
