Hot or Not: Jamie Lee Curtis At 50

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

Jamie Lee Curtis is celebrating her fiftieth birthday by going topless for... the American Association of Retired Persons magazine?! 

We thought maybe it was in honor of the upcoming 25th anniversary of her nude scene in Trading Places...

...but no matter: she's possibly even hotter now. In any case, whenever JLC shows some skin, we'll be there, even if it's in a magazine geared to senior citizens and there are no nipples to be seen.

As the wife of mockumentarian Christopher Guest tells the magazine in an interview published today, "If I can challenge the old ideas about aging, I will feel more and more invigorated." Well, the photos of a non-doctored Curtis with her natural hair color are certainly challenging our immature ideas about what fifty-year-old women can inspire in us. 

One more thing: ABC News points out that for Curtis's 2002 profile in MORE, the actress posed without the aid of makeup artists, stylists, trick lighting, or agreeing to have her thirty-year-old face Photoshopped in:

The resulting photos showed Curtis as more middle-aged mom than glamour queen — complete with a sagging belly and chunky thighs.

Is it sexy for a woman to show it all, even if all means some features that could be considered turnoffs?

No, she is not hot anymore, not at all.

I'll be the honest politically-incorrect one. Let's be honest here. Youth=beauty and that is that. When one gets older one needs to find OTHER things to live for.

I think that JLC is embarassing herself.

She's gorgeous.  Still.  Look at the life in her eyes!  I don't think she's embarrassing herself at all.  By insisting on foregoing the usual Photoshop treatment, and wearing no makeup, etc. she's showing off the fact that you can have the more imperfect body of a 50-year-old and still be hot.  I'd do her.  Absolutely.

I'm a guy, and we're ALL pigs. So, would I do her? Hell yeah. Would she make even my top 5000? Not a chance.

I'm an AARP Employee (I'm 30) And no we are not the American Association for Retired People--just AARP, thank you very much.  That being said, I'd fuck her, but Sir Christoper Guest would probably have issues with that.
