I think the OP was also wondering how come some celebrities do not seem to age.

Some people hit the genetic lottery, I'd wager. Couple that with good living habits, and you might look young much longer. One of my friends still looks 16 despite being 28. Her sister is just 2 years her senior, and looks closer to 50. The key differences between them is that the younger sister is very conscious of her eating habits, does not drink, and does not smoke. The older sister is all about eating whatever, smokes like a chimney (2 packs a day) and although she doesn't drink regularly, goes on binges when she can afford to. I do believe the younger sister did get a leg up in the genetics, but I don't think her sister's lifestyle is helping her out any, it's aging herSo yes, genetics can play a role in how fast a lifetime's wear & tear shows and how much. And if you have money, you can afford stuff like chemical peels & eyelid lifts and such to keep up the youthful look. What gets me is the ones with moolah who do go the whole nine yards and keeping their face looking young, but forget areas like hands and neck. Duh, dead giveaway.
