ery few actresses in Hollywood
can say they’ve enjoyed the type
of long-term success that has sus-
tained Robin Wright’s career. From
the cult classic The Princess Bride
to this year’s superhero hit Wonder
Woman, Wright has worked hard
to stay on top in roles on both the
small and big screens.
Women in powerful positions know a thing
or two about holding their own. In addition
to playing politician Claire Underwood on
the critically acclaimed Netflix political-dra-
ma series House of Cards, the 51-year-old
mother of two has starred in a plethora of
films, including The Princess Bride, Forrest

Gump and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,

obviously.”
According to a recent article in New Beauty magazine.
“The Golden Globe–award winner (she’s also received
five consecutive Emmy nominations) has also earned as
much recognition for her outspoken voice on female equal
pay and other feminist rights as she has for her ability to
command the big screen. Robin also made her directo-
rial debut on House of Cards in 2014, and launched a
socially conscious sleepwear line, Pour Les Femmes, with
clothing designer Karen Fowler later that year.”
Like all Hollywood stars, Wright has had to deal with the
pressures of continuing to look youthful in an industry that
pretends women don’t age. In her interview with New
Beauty though, she shares that there’s no magical secret
to looking young.
Still, countless media outlets praise the former Mrs. Sean
Penn (they have two children and had an on-again-off-
again relationship for years) for her stunning looks and
“all natural” approach to aging gracefully––minus a few
“Botox sprinkles” that she admits to.
Parade magazine recently summarized the eclectic ac-
tress’ career in just a few sentences.
“Robin Wright was Buttercup in The Princess Bride, Jenny
in Forrest Gump, Antiope in Wonder Woman, and plays
cutthroat Claire in House of Cards,” describes the maga-
zine. “Now Robin Wright, 51, rocks the future as Lieuten-
ant Joshi in Blade Runner 2049, set 30 years after the first
“I don’t think there are secrets,” she shares with the
magazine. “I think we all know the more you eat right,
exercise, sleep well, and don’t have so much stress in
your life, you’re going to look better and younger and
feel better. I have a very stressful life, and then I acquire
a peaceful break. You’re never going to not have stress.
So, it’s about finding the balance.”
When she was asked in the New Beauty interview what
she’s noticed has changed the most about her looks over
the years, the talented actress was refreshingly honest.
“I look older (laughing). You find that when you look at
old pictures and then hold them up to current pictures, the
baby fat falls away and you see more severe lines in your
features. It’s like your cheekbones become more promi-
