Vanessa Angel, the 'Weird Science' star and 90s screen icon, was recently spotted in Los Angeles, proving that age is just a number. The British-born actress, who turns 59 this November, flaunted her youthful vibes in a relaxed and sporty ensemble. Rocking a figure-hugging black tank top with cropped leggings, Vanessa showed off her toned physique as she navigated the city streets barefoot in comfy flip flops. Tying a grey sweatshirt around her waist and sporting a crossbody leather bag, the actress kept it low-key yet undeniably chic. Oversized sunglasses and a large water bottle in hand rounded off her look, exuding a carefree Californian spirit.
Vanessa's honey-blonde locks cascaded over her shoulders, highlighting her natural glow that continues to captivate fans decades after her breakout roles. Reflecting on her enduring youthfulness, Vanessa revealed to Prime Women her love for pilates. "I’ve been a fan of pilates for the past 20 years," she shared. "Before being a mum, I did more traditional weightlifting workouts. Now, I work out at Pilates Plus three times a week. It’s more challenging than regular pilates and offers a full-body workout. I combine this with yoga, which I’ve practiced since 1992."
"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," Vanessa confessed.
While embracing the natural route, Vanessa emphasized the importance of facials, clean living, ample sleep, and hydration to maintain her youthful appearance. Her European upbringing instilled in her a graceful approach to aging, believing that older women in Europe often enjoy a certain reverence.
Aside from her iconic role in 'Weird Science,' Vanessa was also known for her performance in 'Stargate SG-1.' However, plans for her character to expand in the series were cut short by her pregnancy. "My character was supposed to do nine episodes in the following season," she explained. "But I ended up getting pregnant, and it wouldn’t have made sense for the storyline. I was quite disappointed it didn’t happen." Despite this, Vanessa's legacy in Hollywood remains strong, and her recent appearance is a testament to her ageless appeal and enduring talent.
