80s movie star barely aged a day 37 years after playing villain in cult classic

80s movie star Sela Ward has barely aged a day 37 years after playing villain Kim Lacey in cult classic Hello Again.

The 68-year-old actress took on the role of the baddie in the romantic com film in 1987.

Sela was 31-years-old when she took on the role of the back in the late 80s.

The blockbuster, directed and produced by Frank Perry, also starred the likes of Shelley Long, Judith Ivey, and Austin Pendleton.

Hello Again follows the story of Shelley Long's character Lucy Chadman - a woman who chokes on some food and ends up dying.

A physic (Judith Ivey) brings her back to life, but is heartbroken when her husband Jason (Corbin Bernsen) has found love again with her best friend Kim (Sela).

Now, 37 years on on the iconic role, Sela looked absolutely incredible.

After her stint on the film, Sela landed roles in other movies including Steele Justice, Double Jeopardy and The Fugitive.

Not only that, around the same time she appeared in various TV shows including Rainbow Drive, Bridesmaids and L.A Law.

However, it was her role Teddy Reed in NBC show Sisters that catapulted her into fame.

The actress appeared in 127 episodes over six seasons between 1991 and 1996.

After that, Sela went on land roles in some very well-known shows.

She played Lily Manning in Once Again between 1999 and 2002.

Sela took on the role of Jo Danville in CS: NY for three years in 2010.

She also famously turned down Teri Hatcher's role as Susan in Desperate Housewives.

Most recently, she played a special agent in FBI back in 2019.

She was also president Elizabeth Lanford in the American sci-fi film Independence Day: Resurgence in 2016.

The star hasn't appeared on our screens as a character over the last few years.

Throughout her successful career Sela has been been awarded a number of gongs including a Golden Globe, Prime Time Emmy Award and CinemaCon Award.

She's still a huge hit with fans and boasts 113k followers on Instagram.

Her last post was in 2023, posing for a snap with Morgan Freeman.
