The search for the "fountain of youth" continues to plague many a mortal, but as the hilarious Tumblr blog 'Friends of Leisl' shows, some celebrities might be getting some anti-aging help from mysterious and magical sources.
Named for Isabella Rossellini's character from 1992's 'Death Becomes Her,' the blog suggests that some of Hollywood's finest females have paid a visit (or ten) to Leisl, a woman selling a high priced death-proof potion. While Friends of Leisl is a treat for fans of the cult comedy, those who've never seen the film will also find some laughs in the sassy captions accompanying the photos.
From Jennifer Lopez to Jane Fonda, few celebs are safe from the suspicious eyes of Friends of Leisl. Comparing pictures from the past with present shots, the blog does make a pretty good case for the theory. I have my doubts that any of these celebs are truly death-proof, but it's undeniable that the ladies featured on Friends of Leisl are fairing the test of time better than some of their co-stars!
