There's a reason why forty, fifty, and sixty don't look the way they used to, and it's not because of feminism, or better living through exercise. It's because of hair dye. In the 1950's only 7 percent of American women dyed their hair; today there are parts of Manhattan and Los Angeles where there are no gray-haired women at all. Nora Ephron
About This Quote

Fifty and sixty is the new forty. That's what women in their fifties and sixties look like these days. It's not necessarily because of feminism, but because of hair dye. In the 1950s, only 7 percent of American women dyed their hair; today there are parts of Manhattan and Los Angeles where there are no gray-haired women at all. The traditional, old-fashioned look has gone out of style and women prefer to be younger and more attractive.
