Did anyone else notice that between seasons 1 and 2 Blanch got a face lift! I mean Rue McCalahan must have had one. What does eveyone else think?

I thought they all looked much older in the first season compared to later on
in the series,and about blanche I am not sure if she had any work done to her face or not,but she looked much prettier in the later seasons.

Yeah I agree she got prettier every season although she was always pretty.

No, I don't think she had a facelife. I think it was just make up or something. I mean look at Sophia during the first episode and look at her towards the end of Season 1, she looks way different.

Mister Ed does have a point. Sophia looked very different in the Pilot episode. I do think Bea had a Facelift! She looks so much younger in Season 7 rather then Season 1.

Yes, in Season 7 it is very obvious she had a facelift. It is the most noticeable in the episode when Dorothy was in the cab going to her wedding and Stan is in it driving.

Over at the GossipRocks boards, they have a forum dedicated to guessing which celebrities have/have not indulged in cosmetic surgery procedures. There is a thread about Rue, with some photographs before and after her alleged surgeries. I'm including the link below: (Be warned, the message board is full of catty and often cruel comments...)

Thanks for the link there 80sTrivia.

Yeah, but that picture is from like 2005 or 2006, of course she has had a facelife. No one can look like that at the age she is without having any work done. :p
