When Jeanne Cooper had work done on her face, the procedure was incorporated into her TV character.

The Young and the Restless debuted on CBS daytime television in 1973. You probably know the theme song. One year later, Jeanne Cooper joined the melodrama at age 46, after a long career in the golden age of TV, appearing in many shows.
In 1984, she was ten years older and felt she needed a facelift. Then her character did the same.
And it was shown.
