List your "Top Five Beautiful Actresses Over 40"

The success of Which Over-40 Actress Is Prettier Than Michelle Pfeiffer? and the huge list of pretty women it has produced suggests than maybe we need this separate thread to zoom in on which of these ladies deserve the Top Five status and ultimately the Winner of that distinction.

Please go to that thread if you want to add candidates to the Big List.

Use this thread for your Top Five only.

The latest summary list is on the top of Page 2 in that thread, but other names have come in since then.

You are not tied to those names in that thread if you already have your Top Five in mind.

Only main requirement: please verify that your candidates are all OVER FORTY.

OK, so I’m going with “beautiful” and not “pretty”. Timeless beauty, not the blush of youth that makes someone “pretty”.

Halle Berry (pretty and will remain beautiful)
Gong Li
Madeleine Stowe
Diane Lane
Julie Christie/Catherine Denueve for timeless beauty

My Top Five :

  1. Lynda Carter

  2. Salma Hayek

  3. Halle Berry

  4. Monica Bellucci

  5. Tia Carrere

Halle Berry
Elizabeth Hurley
Sophie Marceau
Julianne Moore
Madeleine Stowe

What’s the purpose of this systematically-derived list, Zeldar? Are you making a fan site or something?

In the OP in the other thread I mentioned my motive. I just wanted to know how many people saw Michelle Pfeiffer as “pretty” and how many didn’t. One thing has led to another.

Cancer remains uncured, you know.

If this bothers you as a topic, you don’t have to use this thread for snotty remarks.

If the results at this site aren’t to your liking, maybe you can express that sort of thing here.

Note: Zombie Thread
This Thread is so old that most of the women originally listed aren’t even over 40 anymore.

Yes, it is so old it has reach the end of time and the universe and has come around again.

It’ll be just my luck that the universe hasn’t quite caught up yet, Sophie Marceau is only fifteen now, and I’ll be labeled as one of the board pedophiles.

I swear, she was forty when I posted.

Poor Original Leela.

Just to show that this topic isn’t likely to go away, three more recent versions have brought in some other names, although not all of them pass the age test:

Who’s the best example of “voluptuous”?
