I came in here to mention David McCallum. First Ilya Kurakin, then Ducky Mallard. I love him.

I agree! Besides looking great for his years, he is witty and charming. Unbeatable combo.

I almost responded likewise, but the OP asks “Who is the oldest celebrity that you are attracted to?” and if 35 is his oldest, she’s his oldest. **Qin** is something like 16 years old.

Thanks to the light shone by recent developments, I can’t help but notice that Toni Tennille is a fantastic looking 73 year-old.

Six pages of aging celebrities…Six! And not one mention of [Emmylou Harris?](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4160722176/nm0004994?ref_=nmmd_md_pv)  
I’m 53, she’s 66 and still smokin’ hot. All natural too; claim is she’s never gone under the knife.

How depressing to learn that one of the oldest celebrities you’re willing to bang is younger than me.

Flipping that coin, I keep expecting to see somebody say somebody like Selena Gomez. Or one of the Fanning gals.
