Vanessa Angel proved age is just a number as she stepped out in a relaxed, sporty look during a recent low-key outing in Los Angeles. The 90s screen siren, who turns 59 on November 10, looked effortlessly youthful in a figure-hugging black tank top and cropped leggings, showing off her toned frame as she crossed the street barefoot in flip flops. With a grey sweatshirt tied casually around her waist and a crossbody leather bag slung over her shoulder, the Weird Science actress kept her look minimal and chic. Vanessa accessorised with oversized sunglasses and carried a large bottle of water, appearing calm and carefree as she ran errands.
Her long honey-blonde hair flowed freely over her shoulders, and her natural glow was on full display, proof that decades on from her breakout roles, she’s still turning heads.

"I like a natural look, although it’s not easy to look in the mirror and see changes – especially in the lower face and neck. I tried botox when it first came out, but it’s not for me."

Maybe because I grew up in Europe, but I still adhere to the “grow older gracefully” adage. I think older women in Europe are more revered in some ways."
The Baywatch actress recently spoke to Dial The Gate about her role in Stargate SG-1: "My character was supposed to come on for the following season and do nine episodes [in total]," she said.
"And then I ended up getting pregnant, and I had my daughter in early 2001, so I wouldn’t have really been able to continue doing the show. … Obviously being pregnant, that wouldn’t have been a good storyline for a Tok’ra. And the skimpy outfits would be difficult to work that into continuing.
"So I don’t really know what the reason was, exactly, but I remember being very disappointed. Because it was supposed to be three episodes, and then six episodes in the following [season] that never happened."
