Geneviève Bujold was absolutely gorgeous in ‘Last Night’.

Richard Gere is positively EDIBLE in his middle age. I used to think he looked a bit lika a Koala bear.

In “Sommersby”, I swear I swooned over him. What a babe.

Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey and Jane Seymour are aging wonderfully and look better, in my opinion.

I second Demi Moore. She never did much for me before, but I just saw the trailer for Charlie’s Angel and YOWZA!

Paul McCartney is still looking pretty good as he nears his 61st birthday.

Re: Carey Grant

I have heard he was into LSD later in life.

googling I find:

> Something had happened to her. I’d read something a while back about Carey Grant, and how his personality changed completely after a few sessions in the ehady [sic], early days of LSD-assisted psychotherapy, when the drug was still legal and a few psychiatrists thought it might change their work forever. Grant had gone on radio evangelising about what the drug had done for him, and he certainly seemed like a different person in his later movies – softer, maybe even more self-aware. I mean, don’t get me wrong. He was still Carey Grant. He was a block of wood that could act a bit. Still, something had changed him.

From this site [http://alan.dreamvirus.com/essays/pyramidsong.htm](http://alan.dreamvirus.com/essays/pyramidsong.htm)

(I wish there was a better confirmation than “I read something a while back…” Maybe someone with better search engine skills could find a better cite. Ah well, it’s not important.)

John Travolta - definitely  
George Clooney  
Harrison Ford  
Sam Elliott  
Billy Joel  
Mellencamp

Angie Dickenson  
Jane Seymour

I honestly don’t pay much attention to female actresses or singers, but these two did come to mind.
