Coty Inc. named Oscar-winning actress Kim Basinger to be the face of a new Lancaster skin care line. yet another testimony to the fact that true beauty never fades way.

The 53-year-old will represent the new skincare line, which Cooty calls the “anti-ageing expert,” in their new ad campaigns worldwide (except in the United States).

Basinger’s new gig takes her back to her cover girl roots, as the former Breck girl in the 70s, as shown in this 1972 ad featuring Ann & Kim Basinger (below left). If you supersize the graphic you’ll find that Kim “was the winner of Breck’s annual Hairstyling Contest which is a special feature of America’s Junior Miss Pageant.”

Glamorous then, glamorous now. Thank goodness some things don’t change.
