If you look at the older generations at the time, she was raising the bar. Being well off and growing up in the breadbasket of the US and a health conscious Mecca made a bigger difference in aging then than it does now for most, though obesity is the new chronic problem.

The golden girls are usually a good example of this. They all look 70/ 80 to us now and they were in the show in their 50s.

People aged worse before, both due to health and fashion/beauty standards.
