Which Over-40 Actress Is Prettier Than Michelle Pfeiffer?

Agreed. In the 1970s, she just looked waifish, but she seems to be improving with age.

I had a DVD set of Little House on the Prairie TV movies and one of the special features was an interview with Melissa Sue Anderson. I was just dreading the anticipation of what time had done to this woman, considering I have seen her in nothing in about 25 years. Turns out, she still looks amazingly hot.

For old school MILFy goodness, I was always quite smitten with Dolores Costello in *The Magnificient Ambersons. *

And up to this point, Emmylou Harris is the only woman who has managed to make grey hair hot.

A recent member of the over-40 club:

Nicole Kidman

And I have to say, every time I see Sally Field in a commercial I notice how pretty she still is. Yes, she’s still ‘cute’. Only the presence of a couple facial lines makes her look different than she did 20 years ago. And she’s 60!

43

Gong Li/Li Gong.

44

Damn straight! Nice one.

Yeah, I never thought that Sally Field was sexy/beautiful, despite her attractiveness. However, she simply personified the word “cute”, and, amazingly, still does!

Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh, for that matter.

And Mira Sorvino, for a different matter.

I’d like to clarify something: I haven’t meant to say, with any of the women I’ve named in this thread, that any of them are more beautiful than Michelle Pfeiffer. I think she’s stunning, and while there are many who are her equal, I don’t think she is surpassed by any woman of any age.

47

No one is prettier than Michelle Pfeiffer.

Mods, please close this thread.

Holly Hunter
Allison Janney

Just making it at 40 years, 6 months is Tia Carrere.

Also, control-z, if you are going to mention one of my all-time favorites, Jennifer Tilly, you need to include Gina Gershon.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in my bunk.

Speaking of Pams…what about this Pam?

51

Well, two that I just now checked for age, and who have stepped over the 40 line, are (in my own eyes) at least as beautiful as Michelle:

Sherilyn Fenn
Virginia Madsen

These ladies have been two of my favorites for years and another one – Frederique Van Der Wal – steps into the over-40 territory next month.

I’m not sure Michelle will make my own Top 5 list. I’ll post the summary file on the next page and we can see how many Dopers will include her.

Here’s that updated list, minus the duplicate Halle Berry that I missed before.

Let’s get serious now about Top 5 lists. Keep adding names if you feel like it, but try to get a Top 5 selection, too.

Linda Fiorentino is pushing 50 and she is pretty good looking. At least was good looking, there doesn’t seem to be any recent pictures of her on IMDB.

56

While every single one of the women listed is, indeed, absolutely beautiful (by the way, you forgot my husband’s girlfriend, Brooke Shields, who I am informed by said husband is exceptionally exquisite in person), I don’t think any of them are prettier than Michelle Pfeiffer. It simply isn’t possible.

57

Lori Saunders, who played Bobbie Jo in Petticoat Junction, was 62 years old when this photo was taken a few years ago. I can’t imagine that anyone older than her is also more attractive.

58

Ha, ha, ha! I clicked on your link and the first thing I saw was a cow.

59

Pfeiffer isn’t even in my top 25.

Susan Dey
