Good lord, what happened to her?

Good Lord!

She has got to stop the chemical peels. They're stripping her apple to the core!

This is a case of bad chemical peels, BAD make-up and too little weight.

Oh, Van Ark, you can be so beautiful!

:(

heres another frightening pic

Why don't her handlers TELL her how she looks? When your face appears to have tan lines, you start looking like a Thundercat:

gawd i loath this woman's "acting" so glad she left Y&R.

Thats how someone looks for a few days following a chemical peel. It goes away, but you're not supposed to go out when you first get it. I recall a similar thing with Lisa Rinna on SOap Talk once. Joan still looks about the same as she did on Y&R.

BTW, Joan and Donna Mills will be appearing on NIP/TUCK in February! They already filmed the episode and Joan has a love scene with Julian McMahon. I totally miss her wacky, sexy portrayal of Gloria. So much more fun than this loser we have now.

Lisa Rinna rocked it tho. JVA does not.

and im upset about that. i love JM and nip/tuck but ill have to skip that episode.

I did like the writing for her Glo better than the writing they did when they got newGlo in the role, but i wont fault the actress. she plays it up and she is a better actress than JVA.. judging from past work.

JVA & NS were the two reasons that i couldnt egt into Knotts Landing.

Someone posted this on Usenet...

She looks like a middle aged drag queen after a three day meth binge.

Knots Landing star Joan Van Ark's shocking look reveals her failure to turn back time

by DONNA McCONNELL

If actress Joan Van Ark of Knots Landing fame could turn back time – it's safe to say the actress might think twice before ruining her once stunning looks with cosmetic surgery

Van Ark, 64, was seen at a benefit in Hollywood wearing a sober suit, and mask-like make-up which failed to hide the fact that she has appeared to have been under the surgeon's knife. Several times.

The actress' shocking appearance was not aided by her painted on eyebrows and heavy eye make-up which failed to conceal her blotchy skin.

And bizarrely she appeared to have forgotten to add lipstick to her highly-plumped lips – which had the effect of making her look cadaverous.

She was a guest on Dallas, but proved so popular, that she returned several times and was then given her own show.

Ironically, Van Ark, who clearly is not the poster girl for cosmetic surgery, has recently filmed a guest appearance on the plastic surgery based drama Nip/Tuck.

Her cameo on the hit show, which stars British actress Joely Richardson, sees her reunited with her former Knots Landing co-star Donna Mills.

Acccording to an insider both actresses required hours of hair and makeup preparation, and rail-thin Joan was said to have only consumed several glasses of water with honey and one banana – all day.

It also reportedly took four hours to set up the onset lighting to perfectionist Van Ark's complete satisfaction.

CADAVEROUS. Oh my...

I really can't understand what the colouring around Joan Van Ark's mouth is a result of...it looks like bruising or a burn. The product of a recent chemical peel perhaps? She's never looked this off, I hope it doesn't last.

How exciting though to hear about an appearance on Nip/Tuck with Donna Mills !@
