Actress Anne Veesaar: "I want my face to be as wrinkled as life has written it"

68-year-old actress Anne Veesaar says she values authentic ageing and mental sharpness over cosmetic surgery. Known for her long-running role in the popular series "Õnne 13", the Estonian actress has a busy summer ahead, with the musical "Seto Odüsseia" as its highlight.

Estonian actress Anne Veesaar is one of the most recognizable faces on Estonian television, primarily due to her long-running role in the popular series "Õnne 13". Now 68 years old, the actress is straightforward: she does not want to alter her face through cosmetic surgery.

"I don't want to turn my face into plastic. Let it be as wrinkled as life has written it," Veesaar says. According to her, it is far more important to maintain mental sharpness and clarity than to worry about external wrinkles.

"Õnne 13" - fortune or burden?

Although viewers associate Veesaar primarily with her role as Mare in "Õnne 13" and she receives plenty of greetings and recognition on the street, the actress herself does not view her long association with the series as a burden. "The show certainly hasn't ruined anything for me!" she confirms.

Veesaar is not planning a summer holiday this year; recent summers have been very busy for her, and this year will be no different. "I never prepare for a summer holiday," she says.

Seto roots call to the stage

The actress with Seto heritage eagerly awaits the performances of the musical "Seto Odüsseia". This project is personally important to her because it touches on her origins and cultural identity.
