I am sorry to disagree with the fans, but I think Isabelle Adjani is one of the actresses that has aged the least gracefully. She has never accepted aging and started cosmetic treatments so early in her career that it ruined it and she pretty much started getting roles where she parodied herself. An article in (I think) ta 1995 American Vogue already mentioned that at 40, she insisted on continuing playing ingenues. If you compare her career to that of her contemporary Isabelle Huppert, you can really see the difference. Have you ever seen Isabelle Adjani with one single wrinkle, one small furrow between her eyebrows ? Her face has become completely expressionless. It was pitiful reading a recent interview in which she complained that no "creative" director would dare approach her and give her a challenging role because she had been put on a pedestal and they were too intimidated and she wanted to work more. Well, they flock to Isabelle Huppert, Nathalie Baye, and others, for those types of roles. Isabelle Adjani is caught in a time warp where she thinks looks are everything, sort of 40's studio style. What a waste of talent ! She could have been a writer too, she has a unique way with words, always has had, even in her teens. They say it's from her familiarity with psychoanalysis, and I keep her quotes because they are so original. I wish I had started collecting her interviews from the beginning.
