Popular Celebrities That Are Practically Unrecognizable Today
Pamela Anderson – 52-Years-Old

Who can forget when model-turned-actress Pamela Anderson first hit the scene, appearing on hit television shows like Baywatch and Home Improvement? Of course, as Hollywood’s version of a real-life Barbie Doll, Anderson quickly became the talk of the town. Then, at least in fans’ eyes, she began to date rock star drummer Tommy Lee and everything went downhill.
Unfortunately, due to an adult tape scandal, Anderson found herself in a personal hell of drugs and alcohol, eventually leading to a hepatitis diagnosis. According to the actress herself, it took a toll on her health and caused her to age poorly. However, Anderson says she’s now clean, sober, and trying to turn it all around.
Donatella Versace – 65-Years-Old
Even if you have never seen a picture of the legendary Donatella Versace, you almost certainly know her name. After all, Versace remains, arguably, the most famous name in all of the fashion world! Of course, today, Donatella works as Versace’s sole chief creative officer, after her brother, Gianni Versace, passed away. Perhaps Donatella’s most iconic design remains the green dress that Jennifer Lopez wore to the 42nd Grammy Awards ceremony in 2000.

These days, Donatella looks quite different from her model-esque stature of her early years. While many fans and professional plastic surgeons suspect that the designer has had work done, she has never publicly confirmed the fact.
Kristy Swanson – 50-Years-Old
Actress Kristy Swanson first became a star after starring in the film version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1992, as the titular monster hunter herself. However, many don’t know that, before that, Swanson also had blink-and-you’ll-miss-them parts in ‘80s classics like Pretty in Pink and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Since the ‘90s, Swanson has failed to find meaningful roles, outside of the one-off television cameo. Still, the 50-year-old has managed to remain famous thanks to less conventional means. First, Swanson posed for Playboy in the early 2000s. Then, in the 2010s, she and fellow actor Dean Cain became quite a hot topic in Hollywood after attempting to perform a pro-Donald Trump play. Despite the hate mail she says she recieved, Swanson doesn’t seem to let it affect her!
Jennifer Coolidge – 59-Years-Old
You probably missed them, but actress Jennifer Coolidge started acting in low-budget ’90s movies like Plump Fiction and Bucket of Blood. Thankfully, she scored a significant role in the massive 1999 comedy American Pie, and Hollywood noticed. Since then, Coolidge’s been starring in huge hits like Promising Young Woman and the Legally Blonde franchise.

Want to look like Coolidge does today? No problem! The actress has no problem sharing her beauty tips. “I don’t hold back from all [those products] — the micro-dermabrasion, the facials. You name it, I am doing it,” the actress explained to Vanity Fair. “I’m one of those girls that loves makeup and all those products.”
Carmen Electra – 49-Years-Old
Today it seems like model and actress Carmen Electra has done it all! In case you didn’t know, Electra actually started her career as a singer – that’s right! During that time, she met Prince, who even decided to produce her 1993 self-titled album. When it didn’t sell well, Electra then decided to try her hand at modeling, becoming one of the most iconic “it girls” of the ’90s.

After becoming one of the biggest models in the world, Electra made the jump to film in 1997, in the horror-comedy American Vampire. Of course, it was her role as Lani McKenzie in the TV series Baywatch, alongside Pamela Anderson, that made Electra the household name she is today. While the actress might look totally different today, her fans still can’t wait to see what she does next!
