LETTERS, Page 4Champion for Older Women
Frances Lear is hot stuff (PROFILE, May 15). Thin ladies with
112 million bucks usually are. It's refreshing to see a new
publishing empire devoted to a philosophy boulevardiers have
espoused for centuries: "Many a good tune has been played on an old
fiddle."
Ron Shuken
Canoga Park, Calif.
As a charter subscriber to Lear's magazine and a 67-year-old
avid reader of its pages, I admire Lear's revelation of having had
a face-lift, but I am amazed that she resorted to such outside help
instead of believing her publication's concept that there is beauty
in the faces of women of advancing years.
Sylvia Miller
Wellesley, Mass.
Lear is right that the Playboy image psychologically cripples
women because sexuality is judged on the basis of age and
dimensions. However, her hope of someday seeing "porn films with
55-year-old women in them" degrades a woman's dignity and worth in
much the same way.

You may have come a long way, baby, but you still did it with
a man's money.
