MacDowell Embraces Aging
MacDowell is now in her 60s and doesn’t care if she looks old.
“I want to be old. I’m tired of trying to be young. I don’t want to be young. I’ve been young,” she told former Today co-anchor Katie Couric via The New York Post.
“And to be an older person trying to be young, what an effort. That’s a lot of effort,” she continued. “I do think there is the importance of seeing beauty at every age, and it’s not limited to a certain age.”

She added that she would occasionally tell someone she’s old, and they would disagree.
“Like it’s some horrible thing to say … And I’ll say to them, ‘But what if I say I’m young? Don’t have a problem with that, do you?’” she stated. “The truth of the matter is, I’m old, and that’s OK. That’s what I really want people to think about.”
