Timothy Dalton looked pretty good when I saw him on TV the other day. He’s 63? ---

I know I’m going to get ripped for this, but Sarah Palin, 46 next month. Yes, I despise her politics and overall public persona, but she’s hot and you know a chick that crazy has to be wild in the sack. ---

There’s quite a few mentioned here that I’d put on my list too, even older than my final, and more realistic (if I was actually offered the chance), choice: Bonnie Hunt, 48. ---

Shouldn’t we also list our ages too? After all there’s a huge difference between a 70 year old man finding a 65 year old woman sexy and a 20 year old man finding her sexy. What does this 34 year old desire? Jane Seymour, Mary Steenburgen, and Susan Sarandon are all gorgeous women that I’d love to spend a night with. But my ultimate pick for a senior citizen menage a trois would be Raquel Welch (great pick **Little Nemo** ) and [Helen](http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/defamer/2008/09/mirren-swimsuit.jpg) [Mirren](http://cdn.buzznet.com/media/jj1//2008/02/mirren-oscars/helen-mirren-oscars-2008-01.jpg). Wonder if I’d get the senior discount:)? ---

I think we should have to post our own ages as well, as that certainly skews who we consider old. When I was twenty, I thought anyone above 40 was ancient. Mine: Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet on Lost), 39 Lauren Graham, 42 Diane Lane, 44 Jean Chatzky, 45 I’m 32. > [@aceplace57](#): > > Sally Field is 64 and I’d still love to see her in that Gidget swimsuit again.

I’ve always thought Mary McDonnel was hot, and that hasn’t diminshed at all over the years. I think most of her appeal is in her charm and grace, and less from just physical structure. ---

Harrison Ford (67) Me (23) Although in the last few years he has finally started to look “old” to me. But not much for his age, he still looks great - he could be my grandfather. :eek: ---

Kate Bush (51) and Isabella Rosellini (57) are it for me, I think. ---

Donald Sutherland for me too, probably, for men, with honorable mention to Robert Redford who still looks quite fine at 73, if a little leathery. For women, hmm, Sally Field is good but there’s Stockard Channing, who’s a year older. And Martha Stewart, who is four months older than my own mother. I wouldn’t kick any of those three out of bed. ---

> [@TheMerchandise](#): > > Jeremy Irons, 62. I certainly second that. Jeremy is still smokin’ hot. And even though I hate his guts, and **Diogenes the Cynic** will demand revocation of my liberal card, I would do…um, dare i say it?.. Bill O’Reilly. Ohh my God! Yes. I said it. And I’m ashamed. Deeply, deeply ashamed. But I’d do him. ---

> [@ErinPuff](#): > > Nichelle Nichols (77). Oh, my, yes. Now, granted, I haven’t seen a picture of her taken since 2002, so it’s possible she’s broken down completely in the last 7 years, but at 70, she was still a beautiful woman. And, hey, even if she does now LOOK 77, she’s still _Nichelle Nichols_, and therefor an awesome lady, no matter what she looks like. Going back to women in their 60s - the already mentioned Susan Sarandon, and Elizabeth Sladen (61). (And I’ve seen very little of Ms Sladen when she was young, so that’s primarily based on seeing her recently.) I’m not even going to bother trying to think of women in their 50s I still think are hot, there are most likely a huge bunch. (FTR, I turn 33 in a week.) ---
