Rachel Ward, the actress who wowed the world with her role as Maggie in the classic movie “Singing in the Blackthorns,” was once considered the most beautiful woman in Hollywood.

Now at 66, Rachel looks quite different from her iconic 1980s character, especially when she is seen without makeup or glamorous styling. Recent photos of her have stirred up a lot of mixed emotions. Some people are shocked and nostalgic, remembering her striking beauty from the past.

The comments on these photos are often divided: some praise her for aging naturally, while others express regret over how time has changed her appearance.
