The Thorn Birds (1983) ★ Then and Now [How They Changed]

[@ew346]

Beauty is within and Rachel is still beautiful in 2021, Richard also looks great

[@magdalenechristie6453]

Everybody who is commenting on Rachel Wards look... maybe at this stage of her life, after all the glamour, she wants to bring meaning to this world. Maybe she realized that looks will fade (which will happen to all of us, incl you all) & that there is more to life. THAT to me is super beautiful. At least she doesnt wslk around with pumped up lips & cherkbones. Because she still is si beautiful. Beautiful bone structure

[@bornfree1888]

Based on the photos presented, all of them have aged well except Rachel Ward.

[@smudgeeee6259]

she looks sick

[@moosehead1183]

She looked fine to me!

[@magdalenechristie6453]

@@smudgeeee6259 maybe she is. but to me she is still a classic beauty

[@izabelledes.3065]

Getty OLD for EVERYBODY SUCKSsss.... (collagen decreasing...) We ALL changing at some point... but STILL the SAME light inside... Rachel is STILL beautiful and SHE is lucky to show us HOW her beautiful youth is/was wonderful... 🌹and by the way : I read somewhere that She has been HURT from people comments about her acting... wow... I always find her acting PERFECT 👌👏her temper in this film had inspired my 12 years old little girl... going to be a STRONG woman ;-)) BRAVO RACHEL !!XXX

[@Fan.do.Richard]

Never saw anyone grow old so well like Richard. Gorgeous and handsome his whole life🔥

[@maddyhayes617]

I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Richard after his performance in a play several years ago. He certainly ages well. Very handsome and down to earth. Even after meeting others after me, he remembered my name. He waved and said "bye Maddy". He certainly made my day. And yes, I am a senior citizen and remember Dr. K. My fiance and I drove back to NY, with a smile on my face. 🙂🙏👍

[@roisinsteed5241]

What a great film and book. Beautiful love story and Rachael Ward was gorgeous in it. ❤️. Richard Chamberlain was great in it also

[@roseyc.5846]

LOVE "THE THORN BIRDS"..my favorite miniseries!! Fr. Ralph...OMG, so handsome! Many have aged well; RIP to those who we have lost. A timeless book and TV series; I've watched it countless times. ❤️

[@schoomzer]

Rachel Ward was such a beauty in her day, but she still looks good.

[@delsakelly1456]

Bryan Brown is still stunning in his 70s.

[@joanntukes5878]

Yes he is!

[@cillaakerstrom4307]

Christopher plummer oh what a man ❤️

[@mariaseli3928]

And Rachel is animal lover. She was my favourite then and always will be. Her acting was so real and natural . I don't even remember how many times i watched this serial because of her.

[@piroskaracz3621]

I'm sure when fixed up Rachel looks wonderful. They should've used a more flattering 2021 foto....most of us dont exactly look terrific all the time. You can Google recent images...shes still a beauty. She was always slim. I'm thrilled she and Bryan have remained together all these decades... beautiful 😍

[@patty7791]

Piroska: Do you think this is the most flattering picture they could find? Give me a break… They looked for the worst photo they could find… and all beauties have at least a few gloomy portraits! I still, to this day, think Rachel was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen… Those eyes, colouring, bone structure (those cheeks!) I’m with you, Piroska, and I know MANY others agree!

[@МаргаоитаБукаоева]

Тем , кто предал ... Ни дна .Ни покрышки .... И да сбудутся эти слова .

She looks like a caring respectful grounded person to me , and still happily married , thats whats important

[@terrideacon5480]

Great movie and great cast loved it ❤❤

[@joanntukes5878]

The book was excellent as well! Good read 🌺

[@mitzi769]

I LOVE THIS MOVIE. The music is timeless. I love the characters especially Rachael. There could NEVER have been a better Meggie. I named my daughter after her.

[@izabelledes.3065]

I cried watching it again almost 40 years later.... SOOOO Romantic !!!! Meggie and Ralph were SO BEAUTIFUL 🥰 will watch it again and again....

[@claudiacanales2662]

I cry everytime I watch!!! This is an epic miniseries.

[@florencebretonneau8952]

agree, am French and me my mum an my sister cried bucket of tears when we discovered this serie years ago........we adored it :)

[@matthewgolub7494]

well done movie indeed!

[@sarapavlovic8467]

The most beautiful series ever! The series can be watched by all generations! Greetings from Serbia! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

[@marykay55]

Love all these stars !!! We all age and there is nothing you can do about it so please be kind to others that are a little ahead of us... !

[@joanntukes5878]

I watched this movie over and over again. The actors were EXCELLENT. Especially Rachel Ward....love the name Rachel. My Mom, daughter, granddaughter ♥️

[@denisecampus6776]

we could never forget them.....it was one of the most beautiful movie ever made......

[@lorettamemphis]

I love how she looks, no botox horrible plastic surgery, we can still see that it is her. She is 64 years and is still looks great. Let's not compare her in her twenties to her now, no one past that test. She's a senior who appears to enjoy her life.

[@lovenymph61]

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. For those who truly love you, physical attributes do not matter. Your soul, your mind and your heart are those that matter most in this life.

[@krmhayes2893]

I hate how time destroys everything, even beautiful things.

[@boxgirl51]

I loved that movie, I bought the dvd several years ago on Amazon. Thorn Birds was a good movie with many great actors/actress.

[@ngadinh4201]

Actor Richard Chamberlain is so handsome and sexy in his younger years. We just love him.

[@queenmicale9686]

What happened to Rachael Ward. She looks emiciated!!!. Omg. She was so beautiful. I cant believe it. I still love her in the Thornbirds!. One of the greatest love stories ever. I cry everytime I watch it. So beautiful and emotional. Love u all while starred in it. .🤗🥰👏👏👏👏👏

[@betteherring5638]

One of my favorite movies also. Rachael Ward has just lived life. Even beautiful people show their age at some point in their lives. She's still a pretty woman.

[@sarahholland2600]

Too much sun & unflattering hair. And yes, too thin. After 40 being skinny can make you look haggard & old.

[@lgempet2869]

@@sarahholland2600 Most definitely, as one gets older, the rule of thumb is to carry just a “LITTLE bit” of extra weight as it will plump-up the face just enough to avoid looking emaciated in the facial area…..Rachael’s a lovely woman but it’s simply a FACT. And you’re right, that Australian sun is STRONG w/o proper protection.

[@petrruzicka3960]

Is she sick?

[@betteherring5638]

I can't believe the rude remarks about her looks. Wow! Look in the mirrors yourselves.

[@mariaseli3928]

She is always very beautiful.

[@renatonunes2550]

One of the best TV series I have ever watched., on par with "SHOGUN". Richard Chaberlain was fantastic and beautiful Rachel Ward was not far behind in her performance. Great story ! Unforgetable.

[@pamelaallen2237]

Rachel Ward was a very awesome actress and had me crying every movie she did. 💯💯💯

[@mariekeung7187]

I agree. She is one of the few actresses that can cry on cue with real tears, not just fake sniffling. She was a great actress and I am so glad she and Bryan are still happily married.

[@piroskaracz3621]

Just checked Google..Sydney Penny who played Maggie as child was gorgeous then and gorgeous now. love her background Hungarian Cherokee and Scots Irish❤️

[@ellyneilsen2865]

Thank you for giving us the cause of death for the cast that aren’t with us anymore! It’s always interesting to know how or why someone has left us!!

Hey friend! Did you loose your channel monetization ?

[@peepkagirl1]

They don't know how to make them like this anymore!!! Bryan Brown & Rachel Ward are STILL happily married, with a beautiful family, all these years later after meeting while making The Thornbirds!!!

[@catsmeow6848]

The Thorn Birds swill go down as one of the great movies of our time along with "The Prince of Tides"

[@elmerbefuddled2156]

The novel was the 2nd "grown-up" book I ever read as a teenager, (after Gone with the Wind) in the early 1980's, & I loved it. Read it again a few times afterwards, it was so interesting & insightful re life on a foreign continent. And love, life & death, faith, in general. I still have the yellowed crumbling paperback on a bookshelf.

[@beentherebefore050]

I swooned upon watching the series in the 1980's, but only recently read the book discovered through Amazon; wonderful memories indeed

[@tommie659]

I Never read a book more than once...... except the Thorn Birds. I stopped counting when I reached the 20th time!!!! Seriously! I moved to West Hollywood about 7-8 yrs ago, & ran into Richard Chamberlain in the grocery store. & I recently saw him grabbing a burger. He is still Handsome! An Amazing profile! He was Very Polite & Nice.

[@florencebretonneau8952]

omg i grew up with the serie and i adored Rachel sooooo much one of my most beloved serie of all time

[@AisforAlibi1]

Wow, so many of them have lived well into old age. Good for them.

Rachael Ward sure was a beauty back then. We all get old and lose our looks; such is life.

[@madeleine7411]

Such a wonderful mini series, full of great actors. Rachel Ward married Bryan Brown! I had the worst crush on him!

[@mariacarmenalvarez5528]

Para siempre será una historia de amor maravillosa Ralph y Meguii formidables y guapísimos 💋 en El pájaro espino la vi siendo muy joven y me fascinó siempre💋❤️❤️❤️

[@kjk7611]

WOW‼ Rachel Ward could easily pass for a bag-lady, now. I had such a big crush on her back in the day. And into the early 90's. She was classically beautiful. Tall, not that I'm in to tall women. Husky voice. Never understood why she didn't go further in her career.🥺

[@sparrowgael]

Oh not fair! There are better recent pictures of Rachel Ward than the one used here.
