I guess she technically qualifies as an actress: **Madonna**. Haven’t seen her in a couple years but when I did she looked just as good as she did in the early 80s. I guess I just don’t go for the leather and stocking-strap look. ---

Dyan Cannon is almost 70(!) and still looks fantastic. ---

She has an IMDB listing… Lena Horne ---

[QUOTE=An Arky] Jane Seymour. [/QUOTE] She’s who I came in here to mention. I saw Wedding Crashers the other day, and she looks fantastic! Still beautiful, and if she’s had any work done, I can’t tell. ---

Demi Moore. At 44 I think she’s way more beautiful than she was in her St. Elmo’s Fire days. ---

Golde Hawn and her long time companion Kurt Russell both look great. ---

[QUOTE=Asimovian] Jodie Foster? Rrrreooow. [/QUOTE] Jodie Foster actually looks BETTER than she did as a twenty-something. In her forties she’s matured into dazzling beauty, as opposed to her former mere hottiness. ---

I don’t know how old Brooke Shields is, although I’d guess she’s nearing the OP’s “40”. I still find her though to be one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Not a bad run for someone we were first introduced to as a pretty little kid. ---

[QUOTE=Skald the Rhymer] Jodie Foster actually looks BETTER than she did as a twenty-something. In her forties she’s matured into dazzling beauty, as opposed to her former mere hottiness. [/QUOTE] She is so incredible that I couldn’t even decide between typing “RRRRrrrrroow” and “Meow!” That says it all right there. Also, I had originally meant to include Susan Sarandon, so thank you **DianaG** for adding that most excellent choice. ---

Betty White, while not “hot”, has retained her looks amazingly well. She didn’t look that much different in the Shatner roast than she does in 30 year old Match Game reruns. ---

At 42, Sandra Bullock is as beautiful as when she first caught my attention on screen in Demolition Man in 1993. And I second Diane Lane. She just keeps getting better looking. ---

Diane Keaton - she’s never been hot, but she’s aged gracefully and has always been beautiful. ---

I really like Diane Lane, but Michelle Yoh has 3 years on her and has aged just as well. ---

I’m still quite taken with Jacqueline Bisset. She looks her age, but she looks really good at her age. ---
