Aging Nicely

A Times staff writer speculates that Elizabeth Hurley, Julianne Moore, Patrick Swayze, Forest Whitaker and “aging rocker Mick Jagger” are expected to attend the Sundance Film Festival (In the Know, Jan. 15).

By stating that only Jagger, 57, is “aging,” and implying that the others are not, you have conveyed important insight about a biological process that I had mistakenly understood to begin at one’s birth. Thank you for this valuable information.

I look forward to future items regarding activities of Jagger’s contemporaries, including aging Barbra Streisand, aging Steve Martin and aging Michael Douglas.
