I Was Quite a Looker: Difference between revisions

* In the film adaptation of Ray Bradbury's ''[[Something Wicked This Way Comes]]'', we see the character of Miss Foley: an elderly spinster schoolmarm who longs to be her young, beautiful self again. Thanks to Mr. Dark, she gets her wish and turns into the beautiful blonde that she used to be ...with the added side-effect of {{spoiler|blindness so that she can never appreciate her own beauty}}. Ahhhh, [[Be Careful What You Wish For|damn it all]]!

* ''[[Star Wars]]'' series. Obi-Wan Kenobi is very much an an example of this trope. Woo Hoo!

* In the film version of ''[[Bram Stoker's Dracula]]'', the titular villain is meant to be portrayed as such, albeit with a twist since we first see him as elderly and he becomes younger as the story progresses. [[Your Mileage May Vary|However, this is subjective, as many have thought Gary Oldman in a top hat with sunglasses didn't properly capture the essence of Dracula.]]

* [[Tangled|Mother Gothel]] begins the film as an ugly crone, but Rapunzel's magical hair [[Vain Sorceress|restores her looks]] showing [[Evil Is Sexy|she certainly counts]] for this trope.
