Judith Light revealed her surprisingly basic, inexpensive secrets for maintaining her youthful appearance.
âCastor oil, Vaseline and coconut oil,â the actress, 77, told Page Six exclusively at The Wrapâs Power Women New York breakfast earlier this week.
âI swear to God,â she enthused. âI mean, I sound like, Iâm, you know, grooming a horse!â
The âWhoâs the Boss?â alum added that she indulges in pricey skincare products, like La Mer and La Prairie, but âwe also love natural things and things that are safe and good for the environment and good and safe for the climate and all of that stuff.â
âSo, yes, those are the things that I use every night.â
The Emmy winner joked that sheâs âgreased up like a seal,â but puts on socks after slathering her feet.
Light started her career on Broadway before her breakthrough role in âOne Life to Liveâ as Karen Wolek, then transitioned to primetime in âWhoâs the Boss?,â where she played a divorced, high-powered businesswoman opposite Tony Danza. The sitcom ran from 1984 to 1992.
The âPokerfaceâ alum shared that she wasnât worried about being typecast after âWhoâs the Boss?,â but she âpaid attention,â understanding she needed to remind people of her acting chops.
âYou have to guide the industry. Itâs not their responsibility to know all of what you do,â she explained.
So, Light, who got her start in repertory theatre, returned to the stage, âwhere I hadnât been for 22 years.â
She won back-to-back Tony Awards for best featured actress in a play, for her performances in âOther Desert Citiesâ and âThe Assembled Parties.â
Light also won acclaim for her roles in âTransparent,â âImpeachment,â âThe Politicianâ and most recently, âAllâs Fair.â
And, she told us she has no problem auditioning for a part.
âI never think about it other than the whole career in my life is about having humility and being in service in some way,â Light shared.
Later, she joined Lea Michele and Kerry Washington for a panel discussion.
