I am in complete agreement with the exception of Kim Basinger. I think she is a little nuts. Otherwise, rated. Thanks for identifying some mature women.

They are all beautiful women. Only one I would add to the list is Mrs. Fallihee, 54. (Rated)

Ty for the visuals.
Jane and Rene are mine. All mine, all the time.
Is there something in the OS water cooler?
There have been a lot of "hotties" posts today. I'm gonna need new eyes.
btw, check out my FAIL2FOOS posts. (sorry, shameless plug)

Few realize the heat and smoke coming off of Helen Mirren. They are all beautiful, but Mirren is wicked hot!

OEsheepdog, Crazy or not, Bassinger is still very hot. Check out The Door In The Floor.

Roger, I've always thought Mrs. Fallihee was pretty hot too.

Trudge, I can let you see Jane every once in a while but I will fight you over Rene.

Bill, I would do some wicked things to that woman.

Kim is nuts but lovely. And she was perfect to play Marion, the character in A Widow for One Year that is the basis of The Door In The Floor.

I love this post, though I would remove the world 'still'. ;-)

I agree with sandra. "Still" has got to go!

Oh, I don't know, I kind of like the "still"--meaning continuously sexy, been being sexy a long time. That's how I read it. Duane, ya got good taste. Tell me, how do you feel about mermaids?

Yes, thanks for this. Rated because you're not just a teenager in a man's body.

you rock! rated for making my day!

When I grow up and turn 50 next year, I want to be just like any one of them. Except with short hair.

Great list. I love Annette Benning. Whatever she's wearing, I want to
wear..and I'm so not a fashionista.She always looks fabulous.

When this 'Believe It Or Not!' article is written with the Still Do-able over 50 WITHOUT PLASTIC SURGERY* ... on that day, Duaneart, you will have 100,000 women strip for you and bend over.


* Except for Diane Keaton and she's swell but... you know.

what a great post! imagine that! a guy who gives a shout-out like this ... you're few of a kind me thinks!

Hell! To me they aren't even older!! Just hot!

Yeah, I should have just called this post "Hot Babes."

Just as the little mermaid says, I used the word "still" to mean that these woman are sexy, have been sexy, and continue to be sexy.

They've gotten older with me and they all still do it for me.

Patricia Clarkson was in Elegy which was recently released on DVD. She has never been shy about her body but to be nude in the same movie as Penelope Cruz, now that took guts. And let me tell you, she looks fantastic!

I'm glad you all enjoyed this. There were more woman for the list but 10 was just a nice round number.

You forgot one of my favorites-Jamie Lee Curtis.
cartouche reminds me of her.

Great list, Duane!! Oh, I agree with Ladyfarmer....didn't realize it until now.....

Like I said, there were more that didn't make the list of ten but I could easily list an additional 10.

Some genius should make a list of the hottest ladies of OS. But I sure wouldn't want to be the one to leave anyone off that list!

Glad you're enjoying this.

I'm that genius! Check out my FAIL2FOO series.

Susan Sarandon!
S

Dammit! Susan Sarandon was the one I forgot. Crap! Thanks, Sheri - She's at the top of my next list.

:)

Jane Seymour still does it for me...yeah that scene in Wedding Crashers...poor Owen Wilson said he insisted on doing the scene over and over again til they got it just right and that it was sheer torture.

A bunch of lovely gals here...

Duaneart, how about Candice Bergen? I had the pleasure a few years back of sitting at a table across from her's at the 21 Club. She looked like she'd be eligible for a top ten list!

Thanks, Trig. I agree about Jane.

Sorry designator, unfortunately I've seen one too many close ups of her on Boston Legal. Not a fave.

Nice list! What about Sophia Loren, Michelle Pfeiffer, Goldie Hawn?

What about all the Osers?

Just saw Patti Davis on the CBS Sunday news show. You can add her to the list. Oh, and my wife, too.

Beautiful, intelligent, talented, women. Every one of them. I suspect there are some out there in OS-land.
Oh yeah, Why be normal?
Rated & Cheers!

some fine, fine choices there, my good man.

I think Ms. Russo is better than ever.

I still have dreams about Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair! Affair, indeed.

hey duane you forgot me! hahaha. wait, what am I saying? I haven't graduated to older yet. But nice to know there are men who appreciate that Je ne sais pas quoi.

Well, Cindy, I'm sure when you graduate to this age group, you will be somewhere on this list.

I've always been impressed by Helen Mirren. Did you catch the photos of her from a year or two ago, on a beach somewhere in a bikini? I nearly fell off my chair. I had to forward the photos to my mom. I can only DREAM!!!

Plastic surgery. Plastic surgery. Plastic surgery. All teeth capped.
Compare their pictures from before to the after.
But never mind, things ain't gonna change. Enjoy the eye candy. It cost thousands of dollars. [Demi Moore underwent $500,000.00 worth of liposuction, plastic surgery and teeth capping to prepare for her role in the Charlies Angels movie. There were many articles on it at the time.]
Believe me, the women looking at these pictures could look like this too, with an endless bank account, private chef, plastic surgeon and private trainer. Rated.

I'd add Julianne Moore

rated for a good list

j lynne,

Helen really does it for me. I have enjoyed her her entire career. She is very sexy - inside and out. Yes, she is.

Deborah,

I know, I know. These women have plenty of work done. Actors in Hollywood always do and have always done - even the greatest of all time have had work done.

Have you ever seen a glamour shot? They are hideous! These are normal women with too much makeup thinking they look their best. They don't. Nope.

I have often made the same claim about the woman next door getting the Lipo and the Botox and the teeth capped and the hair extensions and all of it. I think it's probably true in a lot of cases. But these actors are chosen for their "original" beauty and their talent. Then it all happens and they become more and more unrealistic. I think that many of them are unrealistically beautiful to begin with.

But let me ask you a question. How different is that than women who take hours to "put themselves together" before they go out and let people "see them"? Or look so completely different the morning after?

I guess if we really wanted to judge them all on an even basis, we would ask them to all be natural and without makeup or plastic surgery. But since we can't, and we're just having fun here, I guess we'll just have to stick with the way they are right now.

j lee

I would too.

One question; why am I not on here?

Great post, good eye!

Helen,

If I made it top 11, you'd have been on there. My bad.

Ariana,

Thanks. Great compliment coming from a bird who is supposed to have such great eyes herself.

Oh, you just vaulted to the top of my favorite people list. Thanks for this!

I didn't even know I was good at vaulting. Thanks.

I love Rene Russo... She is an under appreciated actress in my book... Same with Jamie Lee Curtis...

Jane Seymore is my favorite. Is that a recent picture of Russo - she looks friggin 32 or something!

Madeline Stowe gets hotter with age. She was hot in "Stakeout" nearly 20 years ago and is still HAWT. Helen Mirren is indeed the hottest 60 plus lady alive along with the adorable Sally Field.
Renee Russo just makes me purrrrrrrrr.
