ON A LIGHTER NOTE: THE WOMEN OF THE VIEW TALK ROBERT REDFORD AND PLASTIC SURGERY

Today the women of THE VIEW compared before (THE WAY WE WERE) and after (Sundance 2011) pictures of Robert Redford (74) and suggested that he may have had plastic surgery.

Joy Behar jumped to his defense, reading aloud a statement Redford allegedly made in January 2002 about how ridiculous the run on plastic surgery in Hollywood had become.

He said:

"So what if my face is falling apart? I don't give a damn. It gives me character. Everyone in Tinseltown is getting pinched, lifted and pulled; it's an obsession."

There has been much speculation that, at a minimum, he's had an eye lift and a mole removed from his cheek.  As the affable commentator's colleagues noted, however, in the current picture of the Sundance Founder he looks not only older, but also "different" than he once did.

Followers of THE VIEW's message board @ < http://theview.abc.go.com/forum/robert-redford > clearly didn't care one way or another about the matter illustrating his huge popularity still today.

Whoopi Goldberg, in particular, gave a shout-out to the man, saying, "Come on Bob, let's do a movie together.  We could call it, 'The Way Things Might Have Been.'"

So don't worry, Sundance kid, age isn't going to hold you back. Whoopi's waiting for your call to do a follow-up to your much-beloved 1973 Classic. Besides which, it's time for you to admit that you never really liked Barbra Streisand that much anyway:)!
