I just got done watching Romancing the Stone on cable, and it reminded me of how hot she really was. Hell, she is still a fox. She has got to be pushing 50 by now it think. That is a woman who aged very well. Come to think of it, there are quite a few sexy 50+ year old betties out there right now...

Mundane.
Pointless.
Something I Must Share.

Thanks for your time.

Lauren Bacall.

Haven't seen her lately, but was still hot 'way into her 70s.

Wouldn't mind if she'd stop by sometime and teach me to whistle.

Funny. My wife and I were talking about this very subject the other night. I had commented that I thought Jane Seymore was quite attractive and had aged very VERY well. The same is with Raquel Welch... Still hot after all these years.

STAY AWAY FROM SOPHIA LOREN - I'VE BEEN SINGING HER PRAISES ON THIS BOARD FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND SHE'S MINE, ALL MINE!

Sorry, 'bout that. Just lay off, alright? I don't want to have to hurt anybody.

Catherine Deneuve, people. Something very, very carnal about that lady.

About 57-58 now and looking more outrageous than ever.

Goldie Hawn.


Of course, my friend reckons Tina Turner is a bit of a looker.... which when he admitted to us in the pub, resulted in thousands of "Nutbush" jokes for eons, and eons......

Lena Horne. My father fell in love with Lena Horne the first movie he saw her in (something like 1941) and stayed in love with her until the day he died. I hope I can maintain a crush on someone for 45 years.

Oh. Yeah. Elegant, sexy, and every move she makes is sensual.

And Kathleen Turner just oozes sexuality. Especially when she talks in that throaty purr of hers. Those Dove chocolate commercials she did were the only ones I ever turned up.

I never thought of Jane Seymore as sexy but she is beautiful. No doubt about that.

Tina Turner is amazing, as is the woman who played her in "What's love got to do with it?" and she is in her late 40s, I think.

I thought that Audrey Hepburn was a beauty right up to the end.

That woman has a SERIOUS body. You'd never guess from most of the costumes she wears, too.

Susan Sarandon

Ever since her first movie role, in Joe, I have been warm for her form. She's *finally* starting to show some age.

Ann Margaret, too. Something changed, though, between Grumpy Old Men I and II.

Getting back to the OP, I gotta agree. Kathleen is just some sort of sexy. Was it Romancing the Stone where she pulls herself out of the water and ends up with a wet shirt clinging wonderfully to her chest? Un-frickin-believable. Her voice does it for me too. I mean we're talking Jessica Rabbit here folks.

I even found her hot when she played a guy on Friends, of course that could've just been my drag-queen obsession.

I saw pictures of Raquel Welch recently, and while her body definitely looks great, her face looks like it has recently been lifted, which disappoints me.

For me Anne Archer (sp?) makes my patriot want to play games.

Lauren Hutton. Mrowr. Even that gap between her front teeth, so silly-looking on Dave Letterman, looks cute on her.

Heck, she almost makes it worth while to rent Once Bitten.

Wasn't that Angela Basset?

I have to agree with the Kathleen Turner contigent and add someone who I've always found sexy:

Bette Midler


What!?

Testify brother.

Bette's one of those women who can alternately be the hottest thing alive or the scariest, I think it's the lighting. I still remember her early concert movies, she just pushed my teenage lust buttons in all the right places. She still looks fine.

Her new-found figure appears to be natural, like the models on your web site. There is much more of all of Kathleen than there once was.

As a matter of fact, they all are. Laura Dern is 34. Mary Stuart Masterson is 35. Lori Petty is 37. Not old ladies, to be certain, but not twenty-somethings either.

A big "amen" to Angela Bassett, who is a scrumptious 43. And Fanny Ardant is still red-hot at 52.

Yeah, they're not as hot as they used to be, but at their advanced ages, they're holding up pretty well...

These young punks today... grumble... No respect for their elders...

The movie that "turned me on" to Kathleen Turner was Crimes of Passion where she played the business executive-by-day/hooker-by-night! Good God, was she hot in that movie! ("As you slip inside this wide body. . ." Whew! Tuckerfan rushes off to do something to take his mind off of this.)

It's funny how the old bags look hot in the old movies, isn't it?

I could never figure out Ursula Andress strutting around until I rented Dr.No

Mmmm. Kathleen Turner. Yes indeedy. Her voice is definitely part of the appeal. She had another wet shirt scene, I think, in War of the Roses. Got caught in the rain wearing white.

Speaking of voices, Placido Domingo is still damn sexy after all these years. He can certainly warm up the opera stage.

FWIW, Kiri te Kanawa is pretty hot too. I love the opening of Rosenkavalier when she's playing the Marschallin.

[HOMER] Mmmmm.... Kathleeeen.... [/HOMER]

You stole my thunder by mentioning the scene near the top of War of the Roses (which is quickly followed by a love scene where she apologizes for a multiple orgasm), but it's also notable for her attempted seduction of Danny Devito's character.

I thought Kathleen would've made a hell of a Catwoman. Purr for me!

But now, now... ah, me. Anyone see her in her stage show, Tallulah? I dunno if it was the cold she apparently had at the time, or the lighting, or what, but she did not age as gracefully as I'd've hoped. i mean, yeah, she is quite sultry still, but when I watched the raw tape one of the photogs brought back they'd shot at the show for the news, not even her putting on silk stockings did it as much for me as it used to.

Um... eh-heh.

What is it about these three guys that just sends the women of this board into major swoons? Not that they don't affect me that way too--all three of them are just freaking HOT and I'd do any (preferably all--at the same time ) of them in a hot minute.

Just wondering how those older men manage to age oh so well.

And please don't forget the over-50-and-still-so-sexy-I-can-hardly-bear-to-look-at-him-anymore Harrison Ford.

They're suave, confident, intelligent, and they have those, oh-so-sexy accents.

Harrison has those rugged good-looks yet still manages to have a boyish charm and, damn, he even looks good in a flannel shirt

Another vote for Harrison Ford, Sean Connery and Patrick Stewart. Omar Sharif was a cutie in his youth, but he doesn't do anything for me now...

While I don't consider them "older" (being in their 40s, I believe) but Scott Bakula and Richard Dean Anderson are still looking damned good. Maybe better than they did when they were in their '30s. Same with Kurt Russell (is he 50 yet? Doesn't matter - very attractive still).

I don't know how old Dean Stockwell is now, but for an "older man" (during the "Quantam Leap" era) I always thought he was very attractive.

On the Sci Fi Channel series "Farscape", Kent McCord (from "Adam 12" many eons ago) occasionally guest stars. Damn - he looks good. I don't know how old he is, but he has aged very well. He still looks dashing and distinguished, with lovely silvery hair.

Whoa Whoa Whoa... I dont want to hear about any shriveled old men in MY thread

Anyway, I would have to agree, Laura Dern, Mary Stewart Masterson, and Lori Petty dont really fit into this thread. They aint old. Im 25 myself. I think this thread is more for women that are pushing 50.

As far as Bette Midler goes, I couldnt agree more. Something about her has always raised my flag. Shes a little big, but she has awesome legs. Even when I was a kid I thought she was sexy as hell.

Audrey Hepburn in her heyday was absolutely stunning.

virtually any of the other women/men, OK, but Kathleen Turner? Yeah, she used to be hot, and her voice has still held up. But what happened to the rest of her? I saw her a few days ago on the Friends wedding rerun. Did she eat too much yeast to balloon like that? Was it plastic surgery gone wrong? Some horrible disease?

Sally Kellerman for voice and looks, although I must admit I haven't seen her in anything lately.
