Should Julie Walters Dye Her Hair?
Sometimes grey hair looks better, and other times, maybe not

It was the picture and the caption together that stopped me cold: Julie Walters, bubbly British actress as a cool silver sister.
I first saw Julie Walters in Educating Rita back in 1983 (yipes). Her lovely chestnut brown hair is not the first thing you noticed about her — until it's gone!
She's certainly done a lot of movies since then, from Mama Mia with Meryl Streep to Calendar Girls with Helen Mirren, not to mention a handful of Harry Potters.
But, but... You have plenty of time to look old. Julie Walters, who is 61, has lovely round features and beautiful skin. It seems to me that she'd look about 10 years younger if she dyed her hair.
I already know what Diana Jewell (author of Going Gray Looking Great) would say, so I'm not even going to ask her.
And it's true that stylist Margo Hasen does look better with gray hair.
But, well, as our colleague here, Cynthia Nellis, has said, gray hair is one of the first things that makes you look older.
But Julie says she's getting a lot more offers for work because she's left herself alone. She told the Daily Mail:

This is what 61 really looks like. I have never done Botox or had surgery and because of that I have started to get a lot of approaches that I wouldn't have expected...
A producer told me that they can't find real actresses in their 60s – I am one of very few in the business.OK, OK, work is work, and we all need more of that these days, but... what do you think? Should Julie Walters dye her hair?
