But, in the past few years, both of them have clearly had cosmetic surgery done, and their looks have changed dramatically. I know that it’s part of what the entertainment industry seems to expect from actresses of a certain age, but I feel that both of them look worse for the procedure. Ah, yes. Since she is only a year younger than me, I could have mentioned Renee Zellweger. But not no more! That’s one sure-fire way to kill a crush. ---

I know that it’s part of what the entertainment industry seems to expect from actresses of a certain age, but I feel that both of them look worse for the procedure. Huh… Kristin Chenoweth is more relevant to my interests, but I would not have guessed that she’s close to four years younger than Famke Janssen. Kristen somehow looks much older to me. ---

> [@Kamino\_Neko](#): > > Tomoko Kawase. Exactly 49 weeks older than me, so certainly age appropriate. And hot, talented, and nerdy, so definitely attractive. Singing as **Tommy february6** , her song, “[Je t’aime je t’aime](http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2r7rro)” is one of my fave J-Pop songs ever. 🙂 ---

Sadly, Anna Kendrick is outside my [(Age)/2] + 7 range, as is Anne Hathaway. Fortunately for me, Queen Latifah is comfortably within it, and Zooey Deschanel just squeaks in. ---

Zooey is also on my list, but doesn’t qualify for this list, as there’s 7 years between us. I DO wonder if she’ll ever show up on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” Her sister Emily is married to David Hornsby, who helps write/produce/direct the show, and also plays Rickety Cricket ---

Tough. I seldom have celebrity crushes. Scarlett Johansson is an exception for me, but she far too young. I had to go back aways to find a crush from my younger days, but though she’s older, she’s within the OP’s age limit. Lea Thompson! Frankly, I can’t believe she’s still on the board this late in the draft. Sexy, cute AND beautiful. Not many woman are all three. Funny, too. ---

Just within my birth year are: [Laura Dern](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000368/) [Maria Bello](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004742/) [Lauren Graham](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0334179/) [Tia Carrere](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000119/) [Courtney Thorne-Smith](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005489/) and [Miranda Otto](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001584/) It was a very good year. Just one year in either direction yields Robin Wright, Salma Hayek, Tea Leoni, Sophie Marceau, Naomi Watts, Gillian Anderson, Jeri Ryan, Dina Meyer, Ashley Judd, Jane Krakowski, Lucy Lawless, Kelly Hu, and Jill Hennessey. Suddenly, I don’t mind turning 50 this year at all. ---

With thanks to **BigT** for the IMDB link - of all the beautiful women born in [1958](http://www.imdb.com/search/name?birth_year=1958&gender=female&sort=starmeter,asc), I think I’d go for Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio ---

By the OP’s definition, I don’t have one. I’ve only ever had four or five celebrity crushes, lifetime. The only two that are (a) still living, and (b) still crushes of mine are Diana Rigg (15 years older than me) and Michelle Obama (10 years younger). ---

Since Valerie Bertinelli has been spoken for (several times)–even though I’m only 12 days older–I’ll say Lorraine Bracco; oh, that voice! Whoops, 6 years diff. Eh, I like older women. ---

I could watch her read the phone book. Excellent choice. Easily one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen and she’s funny too. Does me being only a few months different in age to her mean I get first choice? For men I’d go for Nathan Fillion. He seems like a really nice guy as well as being ruggedly handsome.
