BlindGossip – A few years ago, it seemed that this acclaimed actress was in every other film being made. Then she seemed to just fade into obscurity. Well, she’s readying herself for a big comeback. First, though, a little freshening up… at the plastic surgeons office. Her body is still in good shape, but she just had some work done on her face and neck. Her friendly warning to the surgeon before the procedure: “Just don’t pull a Melanie or Meg or Nicole on me. I want to look human after this.”

In five years she’s done five films, and two of those have been voiceovers. She’s had the children now, maybe she’s ready to be big again. Apparently, Sandra Bullock was choosen over her for ‘The Proposal’ due to Julia demanding her usual fee, which no-one wants to pay.
Julia came to mind for me too.
Love her!
Wouldn’t it say Academy Award Winning actress instead of “acclaimed” if it were Julia?
Yeah I don’t think this is Julia. Duplicity was supposed to be a big film but it bombed. I think she genuinly wanted to take time out to spend with her kids, and plus like someone else said, she wanted to rise above Reese”i get paid the most”Witherspoon which isn’t happening any time soon.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Michelle Pfeiffer hasn’t “looked human” in at least a decade. Definitely not her. I like Julia Roberts. I also like Brittany Murphy.
Michelle Pfeiffer looks amazing. She’s an example of plastic surgery done well. However, this blind is not about her because she already looks good and the clues don’t apply to her.
Agreed Beans, Michelle Pfeiffer is a Goddess.
agreed. Michelle Pfeiffer looks really amazing.
She does look impeccable. One can only dream of looking that good at her age with no tell-tale signs of ‘work’.
What about Sissy Spacek. I often wondered what ever happened to her.
Goldie Hawn? Susan Sarandon?
I think these ladies are about the right age, (i don’t think people in their late 30′s and early 40′s need their necks done) but i don’t recall that a few years ago they were in “every other film being made.”
They were both constantly in movies in the 80′s and early 90′s. Could be either of them. Susan Sarandon seems like a good guess.
Angelina Jolie (humanitarian).
ummm, no
Oh good grief.
PR junkie yes. Humanitarian, no.
She’s not exactly faded into obscurity.
Charlize Theron? Too young for plastic surgery?
As much as I hate to say it because I really like Charlize…I second it. She was all over everything a few years ago, especially after the Oscar…and then nothing. She now has 4 movies in production and 4 in development…
This is my guess as well. I saw some photos of her today at fadedyouthblog and she looked totally different. Funny because when I looked at the pics I thought she looked like Kidman.
Interesting …cause the Vogue photo’s are awful…
i suspected her..she was in north country, monster, aeon flux…then kinda faded for a while, except for in mag covers and red carpets
Minnie Driver
na not successful enough
could be any of these. i was thinking Harry Met Sally girl. but she is a plastic wreck, so maybe not.
Angie J is too self absorbed to even mention another actress. she does not consider herself in that (low) league.
the humanitarian is a play on “human”.
The “When Harry Met Sally” girl is Meg Ryan. It can’t be her, because the blind says that the person did NOT want to look like a “Meg.” My vote’s for Julia Roberts.
Sounds like it could be Hilary Swank or…..Helen Hunt.
Helen Hunt? Man, she was in friggin’ EVERYTHING years ago then vanished.
Could well be her, good guess! But I really hope not. Her last film was ‘Then She Found Me’ with Colin Firth (…..mmm) in which she barely wore any make-up and looked, well, normal.
It seemed like a bit of a statement at the time so it’d be a real shame if she has Kidman-ized herself.
She was definitely first to come to mind for me. Several years ago she had THREE movies in the theatre at the same time (Castaway, Pay it Forward & What Women Want). Then she disappeared shortly after.
Cameron Diaz. She majorly slowed down on making films the last few years. Plus, she’s already had a little work done because of that surfing accident she was in (or something like that).
She does humanitarian work, and has the same ice blue eyes the girl in the pic does…
My first guess was Julia Roberts until I read this guess. Cameron has not only slowed down, but when you do see her in public these days, she is hit and miss in the looks department. She’s not aging well at all.
thats the sunning and smoking!!!! cammy was always quite mannish.. though she was drop dead gorgeous in the mask… im guessing julia or charlize..
She’s way too young for it.
I like the Cameron Diaz guess.
winona ryder
She’s had her eyes done before. She always looks like someone just yelled “BOO!” at her.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. I thought that Boo look was because she was just plain nuts! Thanks for the clarification!
Gwyneth Paltrow
ashley judd
my first thought was Catherine Zeta-Jones. where the hell has she been these past few years?
Bermuda…living the life of Reilly as a mother and wife of a geriatric husband.
She is headed for Broadway soon though… perhaps this is her.
CZJ does all those TMobile commercials now…
Just saw the last one where she’s a chef….her skin is awful….really awful.
Dame Judy Dench! I hear she’s a vain pain in the tuchus!!
How about Catherine Zeta-Jones? She was in a lot of movies for a while and the T-Mobile commercials, and then poof..she was gone. Now she is back in the commercials and has 3 movies coming out. Plus I heard that she is older than she says she is.
And the only connection I can make between the actresses listed is Antonio Banderas. And Catherine was in Zorro with him.
Although, he was in Shrek with Cameron Diaz, too. So I guess take your pick?
My guess is Jodie Foster. The age fits as well as the fact that she used to be everywhere and hasn’t been heard or seen that much recently… Plus I read something some place about her prepping for a comeback.
Sandra Bullock
Sandra has been in several movies in the past year… she just did “The Proposal” and “The Lake House” before that… and she’s got a new one coming out with Brad Cooper… i don’t think it’s her
And is it me or does her face look strange in the trailers for the B. Coop movie?
What about Lisa Kudrow? Would she be considered acclaimed?
That’s a pretty good guess. Can’t say she was in “everything” but she does have a long, weird neck that may need some freshening up!
My guess is Sigourney Weaver. Alien… Human… plus, she’s got some new movie coming out or something, doesn’t she? With aliens in it, if I recall the commercial.
I’m thinking someone who doesn’t get photographed a lot at events.
I had thought of Juliette Moore, but I remembered she was in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. I’m liking the CZJ guess.
What about Sandra Bullock? She kinda disappeared for a few years, then came back with “The Proposal”, looking AMAZING, I might add!
i really like the charlize theron guess. she still has an amazonian curvy body but her face is kinda chunky );
number two pick would be cameron diaz. it seems like shrek was the last biggest thing (not last project) that she did…but she did do that cancer drama recently.
Kate Hudson? She was in a bunch of movies a few years ago. She just hit 30 and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2000. Even at 30 these actresses are going in for tune ups.
Reading this makes me frustrated, to say the least. I would really like to see some moveies and tv shows in which the actors and actresses look like normal people. Is anybody with me?!
P.S. As an actor, it is your business to emote. How can you be expressive if your face doesn’t move properly?
My guess: anyone in Hollywood over 35, because apparently 36 and over is just too old. Bleh.

I thought this was a picture of that pregnant playboy bunny.
What about Renee Zellweger?
I say it’s Helen Hunt. The early 2000′s were all about her. It seemed like she was in at least 5 movies a year.
HH is a good guess.
it must be ginger julianne moore. revlon can’t defy gravity at 50!
Helen Hunt or Julianne Moore is an excellent guess. I don’t think Sandra Bullock. She was just in a movie. Sandra also doesn’t need a comeback. She’s still an A list. Julia was A+ and kinda faded. She’s still working though, just not as busy.
Personally I don’t think that Mr. Handsome has received enough accolades for his humanitarian efforts. In my opinion a lot of celebrity do-gooders are totally phony and engage in so called good deeds merely for positive publicity. I have to say that I don’t think that George is one of the phonies out there in the world of celbrity do-gooders. I admire what he is doing for the Haitian people. I wish more celebrities were as real as he is when it comes to helping out those less fortunate in the world. So kudos to George and his desire to make this world a better place.
