Alan Rickman (63), with Robert Englund (62) coming in at a close second. I’d say John Hurt (69), but I’m afraid I might break him. ---

She was in Playboy within the last decade or so, still damn fine. But those mattress commercials did do the trick. I’ll add Linda Fiorentino, she’s older than me and I’d hit it. ---

Plenty of gorgeous older ladies in their 50s and 60’s have already been mentioned. I just started watching the new (and final) season of Celebrity Big Brother UK. One of the celebs is [Stephanie Beacham](http://www.simplystephaniebeacham.com/) who looks great at age 62. BTW, I’m 37. ---

However, I would not hook up with the ones I mentioned. My husband (we’ve lived apart for nearly a year. Is 62 (20 years my senior) and the age difference is just too great. It may work for some, but not for me. ---

Anyone mentioned Anthony Hopkins? He was one of my first crushes growing up, though I cannot figure out what movie I saw him in when I was, like, 10 that got me hooked on him. Next up would be Richard Dreyfuss. OOooh…always Richard Dreyfuss! He’s 10 years younger than Hopkins, though, so age comes before beauty here, hehe. ---
