Debbie Harry is probably in her mid-fifties by now, and she wouldn’t have to ask me twice. ---

Folks, if you want the definition of a smoking hot older woman, look no further than [Jane Seymour](http://www.5in9.com/graphics/jane_seymour_p4.jpg). Yeow! She’s 53! I’d…I’d…well, you KNOW I’d like to…I mean…DAYUM! ---

I think two categories need to be made here. So far, we have plenty of winners in the “Plastic Surgery is Getting Better These Days” category. I’d like to start a “Au Naturel” category. Of course, it’s hard to be sure and rumors run rampant, but apparently [Fanny Ardant](http://jassebombscans.free.fr/envois/jb_fanny_ardant01.jpg) (55) [Catherine Deneuve](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0246544/Ss/0246544/MKCL1024X1536_K170_12.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Deneuve,%20Catherine) (61) haven’t been sliced up yet. But I think this category is clearly won by [Isabella Rosselinni](http://www.crazy4cinema.com/Actress/imgs/isabella.jpg) , who at 52 is still rather young, but unbelievably gorgeous and regularly photographed with [no makeup!](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/2293/Events/2293/IsabellaRo_Pimen_2049754_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Rossellini,%20Isabella) We’ll see if menopause takes that flawless skin down a peg or two! 😃 ---

I was unable to Google up a current picture of her, but **Cyd Charisse** is still stunning nowadays. I saw some recent interview with her and she’s a knockout. ---

I was gonna nominate Kim Cattrall, but she’s a mere child compared to some of the crew already nominated. I don’t have a brief for any of the nominees, so objectively speaking, Isabella Rossilini wins. I call her the winner because all the photos I’ve seen could be products of the makeup artist’s and photographer’s arts, with the actress looking very damn different without all that help. But if the no makeup photo for Isabella R. is as advertised, she’s damn near a miracle. ---

Mariette Hartley, Barbra Luna. I find the amazing beauty and poise of Honor Blackman incredible even as she approaches age 80, but “hot” would not be an appropriate word for it, I suppose. Sir Rhosis ---

**Aesiron** Nah, I’m one of the ones that does have a life (well, if you count working almost everyday as a life), real girlfriends, and a modicum of taste. Back to the OP: Terry ??? – somebody help, she was in serials in the 50s, posed for “Playboy” in the late-80s. Damn my memory (and I met her once ten years ago at a Western Film Festival)!

Was she a Playmate or just did a spread? [This](http://www.aeolia.net/playboy/pb-month.htm) site only shows two Terrys for the 1980s but it’s the early '80s. And don’t rub having a life in my face. Feel free for the girlfriends though. ---

She’s only about 51 or 52, but [Sharon Osbourne](http://ozzyo.addr.com/SOMTV.bmp) has it going on big time. Sure, she’s a cyborg of plastic and I’d have to tape her mouth shut, but she’s still **damn** fine. ---

Terry **Moore** was who I was trying to recall. She looked great in 1995, when she was probably in her late-50s. Sir Rhosis ---

IMDB proves me wrong. Terry Moore was 66 in 1995! Still hot then. Sir Rhosis ---

I have no idea what Vikki LaMotta looks like now, but she posed for Playboy at age 50 over 20 years ago. Quite a looker! (And if you want to see it for yourself, there are some pictures on Google Images. Just spell LaMotta as “La Motta”) ---
