Just for comparison, here’s one of my favorite trivia facts about past Hollywood. In 1950, two great movies were made featuring aging actresses. In _Sunset Boulevard_ Gloria Swanson played a deranged crone who clung to younger boy toys and the memories of those glory years decades previously when she was the toast of Hollywood. In _All About Eve_ Bette Davis was the toast of Broadway but saw her status being overturned by a younger actress taking advantage of her youth and Davis’ age. In 1950 Swanson was 51, Davis 42. ---

Remember the Bowflex commercials featuring Donna McClure? When they first came out I was certain the ad agency had found the hottest fifty year old woman in the United States. ---

Moar Hoff Please. My list from these links: 1. Hoff 2. Tilly 3. Benetar. Or maybe Brinkley. But I’m thinking Benatar. Honorable Mention: Helen Mirren only because I’m not sure if that’s real or not. ---

I can’t find any good pictures of her from this year, but I suspect that Isabelle Adjani still looks pretty good. ---

The OP has it right. Have always had a thing for her from the [Moving Violations](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089629/) movie with the other other Murray brother… no,this fine piece of cinema couldn’t even get the Brian Doyle variety…but John. ---

“Bound” with Tilly and Gina G. is a sexy movie. Although I’ll agree with others above about Susannah Hoffs – I’d walk like an egyptian to bangle her. ---

> [@Casey1505](#): > > The only reason Diane Lane isn’t being mentioned here is because she’s only 43. I’m bumping the thread in 7 years to put this argument to rest once and for all. No. In fact I find it telling that you thought to mention her in this thread. When she first showed up on my radar around 2000 my first thought was “she is **incredibly** gorgeous for a woman near 50.” Imagine my :eek: when I looked her up and found out she was 35. Diane Lane looks like shit for her age and gets worse every year. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that she is or was a chain smoker. ---

celebs have all the money in the world to keep up with advancing medicine. I’m sure jennifer tilly uses some kind of new-age skin cream that keeps her wrinkles away. She probably also works out to keep in shape.
