That is Elaine from Seinfeld. Shes only 57. I know she has cancer. Does chemotherapy turn hair gray like that? I thought it just made it fall out...
LINK to article where she says she is doing great and feels good

Always thought she was pretty hot

Hey dumbass, I'm sure if you had to go through cancer your hair may turn a little gray

Hey dumbass! That's why I asked if treatments turned it gray. Had always just seen hair loss, not discolored.

It was a legitimate question, a-hole.

It's very likely she's been dying her hair since she was in her mid 30s. People with really dark hair tend to gray younger. Probably just hasn't been a priority recently.

I am not being insensitive when saying this, but it just goes to show that cancer could give a flying fvck whether you're born poor or a generational billionaire. Equal opportunity killer if there ever was one.

Someone that was young and attractive 25 years ago is now older with grey hair. Get the hell outta here - no fricking way.

chemo does all sorts of fricked up shite to people and makes them seemingly age decades overnight. I hope you never have to watch someone you love go through it.

She is. She could get it in that picture. Grey hair and all.

Or she may not be subjecting her hair to needless chemicals right now... She might have been pretty gray before, but just dyed it.

57 is a normal age to be all gray especially as a brunette. I’m sure it’s been colored for years and she’s probably not giving a shite about beauty as she beats cancer.

I actually thought she was more attractive as an older woman. Still is when fixed up.

Had cancer twice. While the hair usually grows back different in texture and sometimes color, her hair like that is likely because she isn't coloring it currently. At her age, with dark hair naturally, this isn't surprising.

I had a pretty close friend die from leukemia when she was 16. One of the worst things I've seen a person and their family have to go through. So I'm in no way making light of Julia or cancer like some ITT seem to think. Was just sort of shocking to see in that pic how much it seems to have aged her. She looked almost the exact same to me over the past 15-20 years as far as aging.

A LOT of 57 year old women have gray hair and dye it. She probably just doesn't feel like going to the hair stylist for an hour or 2 to dye her hair when most days she probably doesn't feel particularly great due to the chemo treatments.
