Florence Hendersen. She was on _Whose Line is it Anyway?_ a few years ago and looked pretty damn good, even to my straight, 20-something, female eyes. šŸ˜› ---

Lynda Carter still looks pretty good. ---

Another vote for Jacklyn Smith. Just as stunning today as she was on _Charlieā€™s Angels_ all those decades ago. ---

Helen (Hunt) still has the face that could launch a thousand ships. And a rack that would be worth swimming through sharks for if you werenā€™t on one of those thousand ships. mm ---

[QUOTE=Asimovian] She is so incredible that I couldnā€™t even decide between typing ā€œRRRRrrrrroowā€ and ā€œMeow!ā€ 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. [/QUOTE] I agree. Jodi Foster was barely cute when she first started out. Now, sheā€™s an absolute knockout. ---

Itā€™s hard to go by photos that may be heavily retouched, but I noticed in my parentsā€™ AARP magazine that Sally Field is now 60 and she looks pretty damn good. Judging by some of her recent films, Charlotte Rampling, also in her 60s, is still pretty damn hot in a sort of vaugely intimidating way. ---

Whatever Wilson sister it is that has ā€œlet herself goā€- Ann I think. And cut Debbie Harry some slack, few people realize that she was ā€œoldā€ (35) when Blondie first hit big in the late 70ā€™s šŸ™‚ ---

Sheā€™s now appearing in GEICO commercials, and Iā€™m amazed that **Charo** still looks like she did way back when she was guesting on _Chico and the Man_. I find it funny that **Helen Hunt** has appeared in both lists. ---

Not really my type, but I caught a glimpse of Morgan Fairchild the other night in an ad for some new soap-operaey nighttime TV show, and my first thought was ā€œHuh, thereā€™s a girl theyā€™ve made up to look like a young Morgan Fairchild.ā€ Might still be for all I know. The clip was of a face-slapping contest with Bo Derek, it looked like. They both have held up well (if this is indeed both of them) but Ms. Fairchild wins. She must be, what? 50? 55? Do I hear 60? ---

[QUOTE=pseudotriton ruber ruber] Do I hear 60? [/QUOTE] I hear 56, according to [imdb](http://imdb.com/name/nm0000392/). Also, she seems never to have appeared in anything Iā€™ve ever watched, apparently, so Iā€™m not even sure why Iā€™m conscious of her existence, much less her age. But I am. ---
