I’m tired of hearing about how hot Sophia Loren still is. To me, she looks like a paper bag covered in an 8-mile-deep layer of makeup. ---

Oldest? I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else mention Tommy Lee Jones (63) or Clint Eastwood (79). I’m 28. ---

I can’t believe no one’s mentioned Tina Turner! ---

I certainly can’t disagree with Mary McDonnel or Sigourney Weaver (my first comment after walking out of _Avatar_ was “Damn, Sigourney Weaver looks hot as a redhead”), and I find it hard to believe that Nigella Lawson is 50. But the thread asked for oldest, and I can go a couple decades further: Barbara Eden is 75, and Julie Andrews is 74. I would also mention Dawn Wells, 71, but the only recent picture I can find of her is a mug shot, and nobody looks good in a mug shot (but she definitely still looked good well into her 60s). Is there any easy way to do an image search restricted to pictures taken after some date? ---

After watching an episode of “Fringe” I finally remembered an old guy who I am totally crushing on - [John Noble](http://fringepedia.net/w/images/thumb/d/d1/JohnNoble.jpg/300px-JohnNoble.jpg) who plays Walter Bishop. A big part of my crush on him is John Noble being a great actor who has fantastic magnetism. [Here’s the pair of “Fringe” hotties.](http://www.go386.com/fanboy/images/101_2_promo_lg.jpg) I’m 43. ---

Ok, it’s maybe old enough to qualify as a zombie thread, but tonight I saw [Queen](http://www.monstersandcritics.com/smallscreen/news/article_1562075.php/Stone-Maddow-Noor-and-Frist-on-Maher-s-HBO-Real-Time) [Noor](http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65B05B20100612) on Bill Maher’s show. For 59 years old, she is stunning, and very smart and articulate. ---

BBC News24 reader Carrie Gracy, don’t know how old she is (but must be middle aged) and she is totally gorgeous, I’d turn down Jennifer Anniston to get her into bed. (Though I’d be prepared to put up with a threesome with them if they absaloutly insisted, even if it did make me feel cheap and used) ---

Julian Sands (52) Harrison Ford Hugh Laurie Timothy Dalton Alan Rickman (64) Ralph Fiennes Jeff Goldblum (57) Yeah, I like me some Brits. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-the-oldest-celebrity-that-you-are-attracted-to/523939.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-the-oldest-celebrity-that-you-are-attracted-to/523939.md?page=11)
