The Young and the Restless stars Tracey Bregman and Beth Maitland recently opened up about aging in Hollywood. The pair talked to “The Fashion Guy” Lawrence Zarian and provided insightful perspectives on the topic.
Different Approaches To Aging
Zarian recently shared a video clip of his chat with Bregman and Maitland on his Instagram page. He asked the women what they saw when they looked in the mirror at this stage of their lives.
Bregman quipped, “Well, I wonder what the hell happened.” She noted that she is 61 years old and frequently forgets her age.
She shared she typically doesn’t reference being “at this age.” Instead, Bregman will say, “at this level of experience.” She explained that when it comes to age, “I think it’s about finding balance in who I am inside. And a lot of times that sort of reflected outside.”
Despite aging, Bregman said she feels like she’s the same person she’s always been. She added, “Although I always feel that if we cease to learn, we cease to grow… We want to continue to evolve and grow and learn and deepen and be better at the things that we love.”
Maitland admitted that these days, she’s “making peace with myself” about aging. A year ago, however, she was in a very different headspace. She explained that loving herself and her body has been “my lifelong struggle.” Maitland noted it’s been her character’s lifelong struggle as well.

Maitland talked about how she recently watched a video that featured Emma Thompson talking about aging and it resonated with her. Thompson spoke about how women needed a new way to love and accept their bodies, which Maitland realized was quite pertinent to her own personal struggles.
“It’s time now to be who we are and love who we are,” Maitland exclaimed. The Y&R star shared, “I have had a very difficult last few years…I never thought I would be happy again.” She recently realized, however, that she is truly happy now.
