A Scandinavian goddess with incredible blue eyes full of warmth and light. All about her is quality and class combined with a very kind and soft femininity.

Linda Evans is a kind hearted and beautiful woman, ok so she had some bad plastic surgery later in life but that doesn't change who she is, she's still the same person just older, we all grow old, no one can escape it.

    I am always fascinated by how when people are so gorgeous, how they feel getting older and their looks change.I am just a somewhat average guy who does his best to make sure I look presentable, and some days (like this morning) I look in the mirror and just got WTF ? Makes me never want to be seen in daylight..and getting older is hard..so much upkeep..so I cannot imagine when a man or woman who has been a beauty their entire life and those looks start to go...it has to be hard..maybe some just pay no thought and life goes on, but for others it has to be almost debilitating.

    Wow, what a centered, kind woman. And yes, later she did have plastic surgery, but women really can't win. If they have none, everyone is aghast that they're no longer beautiful and have wrinkles, and if they have some, everyone is aghast that they went under the knife. I think a little bit of surgery is fine when done tastefully if it makes you feel better. Getting old is hard, make no mistake. You'll see once that sagging starts, lol.

    Barbara Walters has knack of asking direct real frank questions but also making her celebrities easy in answering, that is sign of person who makes others comfortable first which is good sign of person who is secure and nice in their own persona otherwise it is not possible to be so consistent, yes and non-threatening to others more so with women of celebrity circus who are notorious for being hypersensitive and insecure. Putting people to ease is a good quality.
