While fans admired her youthful beauty, she shared the secret to her timeless appearance.
“Bone broth is a huge part of what really started my healing,” she told Fox News, a topic she also explored in her book. “When you drink this, it is like the fountain of youth,” the director-actress added. “It literally is the cure-all.”
