Ok, she's 56 years old! She's not going to look the same as she did back in 1980. Plus, looking at this picture, I can say that she's not loaded with make-up and hasn't had tons of plastic surgery. People can be so damn simple-minded...letting MTO suggest that all women age 30 are "old," and all women who were models in 1980 are supposed to look the same in 2008. Half of you probably don't even know who Jayne Kennedy is. She's older, but did you know that she was the first black actress to grace the cover of Playboy magazine? (nope...it wasn't Beyonce) She was also one of the first women to infiltrate the male-dominated world of sports announcing (NFL Today Show) But this isn't important...it's all about booty and which black woman can look the most non-black. I swear...black people were better trained at respecting one another when the white man ruled our asses 200 years ago.
MTO STOP TRYING TO PUT DOWN EVERYONE!SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND HER FAMILY IS JUST AS BEAUTIFUL AS SHE IS AND COME ON WHO THE H/E/L/L LOOKS THE SAME WAY THEY DID BACK IN THE 80'S WITHOUT HAVING COSMETIC ENCHANCEMENTS DONE? MTO CAN WE SEE HOW YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE?BECAUSE YA TALK LIKE YA BEAUTY QUEENS OF THE WORLD
Jayne has been heavy for a minute. She started gaining weight after her sex-tape scandal. That destroyed her career and she hasn't been the same since. I was one of the lil' badazzes sprung on her in the 80's. I even remember going into the drug store back in the early 80's with my boys and taking turns distracting the clerk while the others peeped her Playboy spread. It wasn't much there though, even for 12-year-olds.
JAYNE KENNEDY.....BLACK AMERICAS ICON FROM BACK N THE DAY. SHE IS STILL SO BEAUTIFUL. ALL BLACK MEN LOVED HER SO MUCH BACK THEN. MY POPS AND UNCLES HAD HER PICTURES HANGING UP IN THE BASEMENT AND IN THERE GARAGES. THATS WHAT THEY DID BACK THEN. SHE HAS GAINED WEIGHT, BUT SHE IS STILL SO PRETTY. THAT WAS SO LONG AGO THE PHOTOS U SHOWED OF PLAYBOY, I WAS A LITTLE KID. BUT HER BEAUTY IS THERE. THIS SITE IS SO RUDE SOMETIMES. DAM*!
The beauty of a blackwoman is she, who have the ability to look in a mirror and see how wonderful she be, even when she don't have all the quality clothes that can cover she, for she is beautiful due to her inner beauty.
The beauty of a blackwoman is she, who will not use her body for the attraction, for she will understand that the strength that lies with in, is what will get a man, like me, Even though I don't deserve the beauty of a woman like she.
The beauty of a blackwoman is she, who understand that there is a difference between a child in a mans body, who will want the outer layers of she, as appose to the man, who's soul will be ignited due to her inner folds and she will not settle for less then he who will want to at least love her, even if only for a friend.
The beauty of a blackwoman is she who can look at self and know the value of she, not because of what she sees, but due to what God saw, when he created she and she uses her self as a living testimony, by being the beauty of a woman who will not settle for less then the best of she, because she represent He, Who created she.
The beauty of a blackwoman is she, who will not display less then her inner beauty and will save the gift of her self physical, for he who she feels will honor she.
The beauty of a blackwoman, will not dishonor her self, for any man, for she will understand that her flower is to be enjoyed by he, who treasures she, due to her inner beauty and not her booty..OPPPPS...Did I say that?
The beauty of a blackwoman, is one who understands that she should be loved unconditionally and her outer beauty is not conditioned for my eyes, rather for my insides..(Yes! that's right) if I see her as being beautiful because she sees her self as so, then she became the image of Him, who created she to be beautiful.
God bless the beauty of a blackwoman and I pray for the ones who don't understand that she has the potential to be beautiful and all it take is looking in the mirror and seeing she
HEY DECEMBER SAG 127, WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION? EDOMETRIOSIS DOES NOT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN AND IT IS A CONDITION THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. Jayne, simply got fat. She got older, her metabolism slowed down, and she probably had it in her genes to gain weight. Try reading a medical book or googling before you post something as idiotic about a medical condition like endometriosis. It is natural to gain weight as you age.
HEY DECEMBER SAG 127, YOU ARE THE BAMMA OF THE YEAR. ENDOMETRIOSIS DOES NOT CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN. IT IS THE OPPOSITE. IT IS A CONDITION THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. READ A MEDICAL BOOK OR GOOGLE IT. JAYNE SIMPLY GOT FAT LIKE MOST WOMEN DO WHEN THEY AGE AND THEIR LIFE STYLE REVOLVES AROUND GOOD EATING AND BEING ON THE GO TO FUNCTIONS WHERE FOOD IS THE MAIN ATTRACTION. IT IS PROBABLY IN HER GENES AND BECAUSE OF THAT SHE CAN'T FIT THOSE OTHER JEANS!
Its 25+ years later!!!
Are you kidding me?! Seriously. Anyone who talks ish about a 50+ year old woman should be ashamed of your damn selves.
And her daughters can get the business! Sure she's happier about that than what she looks like in her settled years.
This comments section is high comedy in low IQs...
IF its a time span from 1980 to 2008 thats 28 yrs almost 3 decades , only person that looks timeless is JOAN RIVERS,
that woman up there is living her Grand MAMA years making pecan pie and wearing the Othopedic sandals ~ GONE Now GRANNY make is rain u paid yo dues of looking cute in your younger yrs
I bet she can still drop down and get her EAGLE on if she was a playboy bunny
Wow, I have to say, this is depressing. Don't get me wrong, Jane looks happy and she has a beautiful family.
But my last memory of her was the Jet/Ebony magazine covers of her I used to have on my wall as a kid. She was my ULTIMATE crush back then. I know everyone ages....its natural...but to see it like this is still a little jarring.
Still, I got nothing but love for Ms. Jane...She'll always be an icon to me.
I can speak on this...I'm of her generation...Jayne just let herself go....just as I'm slidding into obesity....Imma gonna ha' to get w/ young blood and lose that 30 lbs for the summer...if you don't watch your diet and exercise all you twenty somethings are gonna be the same way in about 30 years...and childbearing is part of what happened to her...she blew up w/ those kids...good thing I knew to stop at one...if I was Jayne, I'd get a trainer, diet, exercise and make a "comeback" like Marie Osmond...she just needs to cut that hair..a bad cut even w/ the gray hair (if she loses weight) would make her appear even more beautiful...I'd like to see what Leon Isaac looks like now too...C'mon MTO!!!
PS: If you want to see (on the whole) what a woman is gonna look like when she gets old...look at her Mama...when Jayne got married the 2nd time her Mama and Daddy were there and Mama was about the same size Jayne is now....you can't fool genetics...that's why I've gotta get to movin' 'cause fat sho' runs in my family!!!!
Leave her the Fuc_k along...She Older...Living her Life she has a beautiful Family and I see that she still with her Husband whom loves her for whom she is...I bet her Family and Loves one would say she Beautiful...so why would she care what the hell you think..Right on Jane...live your Life...Dont go around and worry about what the public may think..Big Deal...She looks happy..Bless her for having Love and Family and to be herself....Peace

here's another nugget in case a few of ya'll didn't know... That's not her husband in the pic. He still looks pretty much like he did when they first met, so there's more to aging than just "getting old". Keep fooling yourself, but diet, lifestyle, and genetics play a very large role in whether you age gracefully or not. I'll always love Jayne, but I'm not going to give her a free pass on living healthy. I hope she gets it together because I'm more concerned about her health. Who cares if she's no longer the 80's bombshell.
She looked like a white woman! WTF? Is it just me or does it seem like anytime the FIRST Black female does something pertaining to beauty/modeling/photoshoot she always looks more white than Black? What is the point white people? We don't need your stankin bone...just keep putting your white people on your magazines/tv and we'll continue to not give a [EXPLETIVE].
DAYUM! she looks like Madea! Thas Madea's family reunion lol
She has a beautiful family though. And you can tell she has prettiness still in her face. she just needs to get in the gym and leave those hamhocks and macaroni and cheese alone.
but DAYUM! 20 years can really eff you up if youre not careful. IM SCARED! lol
SHE IS VERY PRETTY AND BEAUTIFUL! SHE LOOKS 10X'S BETTER THAN MOST WOMEN HER AGE. I DON'T SEE THE ISSUE. IF YOU DON'T AGE WITH AGE THEN THAT MEANS YOU DIE. YOU EITHER LIVE TO GET OLD OR DIE. AND THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH GETTING OLDER. JAYNE IS GORGEOUS SO MTO YOU REALLY NEED TO GET ALIFE. WHAT DOES YO MAMA LOOK LIKE MTO?
She looks nice, she has gotten older with age come weight gain, chane and grey hair, Trust me you will age one day to and oh yeah doesnt look like she had any enhancements so what do you expect she was a beautiful young woman and now she is a beautiful older woman. Go to H3ll with your comments trying to put someone down.
what happened to her? she looks a little old. I checked her profile on an annonymous herpes dating site called herpesmates.com. anyone there contacted her?

She is pretty and her family is gorgeous. Don't judge people who choose not to nip, tuck and color everything. We are all going to get older and some people are fine with aging naturally. She is NOT that old. I don't understand the "she looks white" comments. She is a brown-skinned woman with straight hair - so? That is nothing new.
There are a lot of people hating on Ms. Kennedy and for those haters I think that they should take a picture of their Mother in the 80s and compare it to a recent picture. I guarantee that there will be significant differences and I can pretty much promise that half of the mothers won't look as good as Jayne Kennedy does!
Kasey youre right about that! The Last Dragon is NOT corny! that movie is GREAT!!! DEFINITELY A CULT CLASSIC!
LOL@a vanity update. Vanity is a born again christian..she goes by her real name now..Denise Matthews. And she is still beautiful..but like all people who get older, shes fatter now. NOT FAT...just fatter. kinda thick.
People,Jayne Kennedy is STILL the most beautiful woman in the world!! Over the years she has been suffering through a very painful and debilitating illness. If she has been on certain medications for pain, sometimes they can make one gain weight and fluid, and that may be what happened here. The fact that she is real enough to show her true self without hiding behind Hollywood's facade makes me respect and love her even more. My love and prayers are with her.
Jayne is approaching her 60th birthday. During her younger years she was diagnosed with Endometriosis a condition, generally associated with pain during sex and it can prevent a woman from having children, and the medication causes weight gain. Jayne remarried to actor Bill Overton and had 3 daughters despite the problems with Endo. Has anyone bothered to look at the smile on her face, her very handsome husband Bill is still married to Jayne after 26 years. Bill could walk to be with a younger & physically fit woman but he stays. Bet Jayne is happier than most who criticized!
cmon people give the lady a break, the lighting in that house wasn't that great at least she's real, she's not pumping up her lips like those white actresses; they all look like sea basses then they're shooting up with collegan, botox and booty fat and they look like crap. All Jayne has to do is get her hair done, put on some bare minerals make up and take a picture in better lighting then she's gonna look good, she still has decent skin and good bone structure omg she sixty and i didn't see any crows feet and best of all she's still real
