> [@Little Nemo](#): > > Part of the reason Ms Page remained out of sight was because of problems since her modeling days ended. She’s been arrested for some serious crimes and spend time locked up. Not that I want to dish dirt on the fabulous Ms. Page but where did you get that information? I know that photographer Irving Klaw suffered under the Kefauver investigations or are you talking about something else? FWIW My lovely wife bought me a Betty Page diorama, completely with Betty vamping in bra, panties and high heels, chubby leering photographer - not quite a representation of Klaw - and speed graphic camera. ---

Goldie Hawn is still a-freakin’-dorable. And Sally Field looks pretty good, too. ---

I’m going to go in a different direction, here. I’ve posted this opinion before, so, if you’ve already seen this, I apologize. My candidate is a woman who looks every bit of her 58 years: [Tyne Daly](http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0002033/). I remember her back in the early 70s in one of the Dirty Harry movies, playing a strong, intelligent woman in her thirties, with a shy smile that was an absolute killer. I was in my teens, but looked at her and saw a damned attractive woman. Later on, I saw her in Cagney and Lacey, playing a strong, intelligent woman in her forties, with a shy smile that’s an absolute killer. Still damned nice. Now, I see her playing Maxine in Judging Amy, as a strong, intelligent woman in her sixties. She is now somewhat grandmotherly, with grey hair in a bun and carrying more than a few extra pounds, but she still has that shy smile that’s an absolute killer, and I was surprised to discover that she is still damned attractive to this mid-forties guy. I recall one episode where she needed to convince some bureaucrat to do something, and when asked how she was going to do it, replied, flashing that great smile: “I’m going to flirt with him, of course!”, and then proceeded to do so. Great woman, great actress. ---

Man, I used to date a girl who looked JUST. LIKE. HER. Only younger. I still droll over her. Both hers, actually. May I nominate [Marilu Henner](http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id=1800035311&cf=pg&photoid=243685&intl=us)? She’s only 52, and a baby by the standards in this thread. But she’s still extremely attractive. ---

> [@yosemite](#): > > They said that some of these celebrities (Jane Seymour was one name I remember) had their share of wrinkles. In October of 2003, Jane Seymour visited our local mall promoting her line of bedding and children’s clothing. My wife and I were milling around in the infants section with no knowledge that Seymour was coming that day. To make a long story short, she showed up right next to us, and I came embarrasingly close to running her over as I was navigating the racks. She is a tiny person, and was not easy to see through all the clutter. Face to face, she is absolutely a very pretty woman. However, in person, plenty of facial wrinkles are apparent. Still, they don’t look like “bad” wrinkles on her – they kind of work with her face. It’s not easy to explain. ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > She is incredibly beautiful. Who is she? What did/does she do? I think she’s my favorite so far. She’s an actress. I think it might be fair to say she was the most popular actress/poster girl of the 60s in Japan. ---

> [@](#): > > Not that I want to dish dirt on the fabulous Ms. Page but where did you get that information? I know that photographer Irving Klaw suffered under the Kefauver investigations or are you talking about something else? Page was arrested on several occasions for assault; many of them were domestic situations involving her husband or step-children but others involved other people. I believe she attacked at least one person with a knife. Apparently most of these situations involved some degree of mental illness on Page’s part and I believe there was also alcohol and drug abuse. Page was involuntarily confined to mental institutions more than once. ---

Shirley Jones [recent pic](http://www.playbill.com/images/photos/jonescassidy1_1083936950.jpg) is still looking quite good at 70 as is [Julie Andrews](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0368933/Ss/0368933/09_P2C-C656-2.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0368933) (whose remake of _On Golden Pond_ flopped because she and Christopher Plummer, though in the right age frame to play the characters, both looked far too youthful). ---
