She came to my yoga class years ago, and was incredibly gracious and kind. She made sure to come up to me at the end and tell me how grateful she was for the class. A beautiful person inside and out.

@rachelletersigni4573 She is phenomenally beautiful and from what I hear glad she is such a humble human being --that I hope took no abuse or B.S. from anyone in the industry whose had a reputation for being so. I actually got gaslighted for my spraking in defense of her and others like Anna Silk and Zoie Palmer from Lost Girl regarding this because they thought I was trashing and demeaning the LGBTQI community for my concern--but more so my hope that they were on a happy set working with good people that were looking out for their well being and emotional stability because acting is very demanding especially in front of strangers and cameras.

That's very nice in a winning students over with English Cadbury's chocolate from England way, moi I'm way beyond that stage, far and away, (i havent watched the movie, just a one-line cliche joke) I'm more of a very contented French lunch party goer. I find social-cultural-lesson for the day from the fellow aristocracy is "What is an amuse-bouche. As a secondary point, what is a bouche and what can a bouche do, partygoers. Because as that runner would say or is it this Runner would say, sophistication and sensabilities are everything, they keep you in class, clothing is not everything, I prefer to learn College French language with the culture as well, I just have too few of a certain genre of student if you know what i mean. Starting a conversation just as an amuse-bouche starts a meal, a cultured meal for cultured people, a bouche is just for talking, just joking. But talking is everything, eating amuse-bouches is the rest, with sophisticated company wouldn't you say parents. More of a dance class, no. Quite a workout, I'd say. Though sadly at that age,there was no pre-yoga stress help either way.

@@ajs41 yes, AND she’s had obvious help. Anyone familiar with “procedures” can tell. People only comment on procedures when they’re obvious and badly done. Hers is well done and subtle. Why do people always post the same thing on all celebrity videos about how “amazing” it is that they “don’t age.” Jennifer Beale has had had quite a bit of help, just like 99% of other celebrities - male and female. Why does everyone act shocked, like these celebrities don’t take advantage of every anti-aging procedure and technology available to them?? Surgeries, laser, injectables, high-tech skin care products, expensive dermatologists and medical estheticians, the best makeup artists and hair colorists/stylists, nutritionists, personal chefs and trainers…. the list goes on and on. I guarantee you that Beals has had at least some of this done. She’s wealthy and has access to the best of the best. Guess what? Celebs age just like the rest of us. They just have the resources and time to keep their appearance as well-preserved as possible, because their entire careers depend on it.

I'm from Denmark and was born in 1974. In 1983 my family lived in the US and I remember watching all the MTV videos including those from Flashdance. I've heard those songs my whole life. But I didn't actually watch the movie until last month 2022. It was pretty emotional , like a time capsule. One thing that really surprised me was how they didn't even try to hide the fact that the dancer was a completely different person lol. Jennifer Beals is such an 80s icon, beautiful and talented.
