Jennifer Grey celebrated her 66th birthday on March 26 — and it's safe to say she looks amazing!
Tracy Pollan paid tribute to her longtime friend on Instagram by sharing a solo picture of Jennifer posing in a black bikini with shades, loose waves, and straw hat by the horizon.
Her overlaid text read: "I love celebrating you Jennifer Grey." Jennifer has a refreshing take on aging and doesn't shy away from the topic.

Jennifer takes inspiration from her grandmother who showed her that age is just a number.
She continued: "I know my grandmother, who was 93 when she died, was dancing and making art and walking and living independently. I think that it's all about how you live, not how long you live."

With age comes wisdom and Jennifer has embraced her new decade with her arms wide open, stating: "Your self-esteem shouldn't be attached to being perfect or judged. What if we all just did what makes us happy?"
She added: "I think one of the things I've understood as I've gotten older is how little I care what other people think of me. What I’m mostly concerned about is how I feel about myself."

Jennifer knows that aging is a part of life and she lives in the present moment without dwelling on the past.
She shared with Good Housekeeping: "I would bet my life on the fact that a woman’s second half of her life is the best half. At this point, you have the experience of knowing that things go pear-shaped, and that you survive."
Jennifer added: "Also, you have a sense of how much time you want to spend thinking about yourself, spending money on yourself, working on yourself... it’s a lot of self! I don’t want to be spending time chasing a part of my life that’s gone."

Jennifer eats mostly healthy but she's a big foodie and allows herself the space to give into cravings.
She shared: "My only dietary requirement is that I only eat food that I look forward to eating. For me, that means lot of healthy food like delicious salads and fish, but also pastas. For snacks, I always have hardboiled eggs, yogurt, berries, almond butter, avocados, and bread of course," per New Beauty.
Jennifer added: "Lately I've become obsessed with baking sourdough bread like everyone else since COVID. I make it every other day so we always have this fresh loaf, and then I slather it with butter and jam or cheese. I recently made my first homemade plum jam. I don’t like to deny myself when it comes to food. To me, food is nourishment and food is to be enjoyed. It’s just about balance."
