We
continue our two-part series with some of the screen's top stars...
some of whom are still box office draws, despite what the media wants
you to believe...
Helen Mirren, 63
Helen
Mirren never has to worry about studly husband/director leaving her for
one of his younger leading ladies, since none of them can hold a candle
to her talent, classiness, sex appeal, and status as an Academy
Award-winning screen legend. The above photograph of the star in her
bikini last year lit up internet wires across the globe-- for example,
our traffic went through the roof the day we posted it. Thank you,
Helen Mirren, for being our muse.
Carly Simon, 63
It's been a long time since James Taylor spotted Carly Simon's
"incredible long legs" passing by on a summer day in a small
Massachusetts town. Since then, she wrote a song about him, "You're So
Vain," (or was it Warren Beatty?), won several Grammy's, topped the
charts a million times over, and developed a solo career that has long
outpaced her (now ex-)husband's. Simon and her gloriously pretty teeth
and, we're guessing, still-dynamo gams continue to record and tour...
but not often enough.
Susan Sarandon, 62
Tim
Robbins whined about not being able to vote as his regular polling site
last November, which must've made him feel really ridiculous when he
woke up the next morning and realized, "Holy balls! Forget all my
troubles-- I'm still sleeping next to the babe from Bull Durham any Playboy's best boobs 1981!" Speaking of those marvelous mams, it's difficult to pull off a dress like that at any age, let alone hers, without causing a media (i.e. tabloid journalism) firestorm, but here she is in all her glory...
Meryl Streep, 59
If
anyone out there worries about how their "looks" will hold up at the
age of 59, just take a gander at the Before and After photos of Streep
depicted above. She is one of the greatest actors of all time, rivaling
Olivier and Hepburn, and draws hundreds of millions in box office every
year as one of the biggest names on the planet. But more importantly,
at least for our purposes here, Streep is somehow more beautiful than even in 1977, when we first saw her in Julia. Can a nude, comic romp in a "getting old and falling in love" movie with Jack Nicholson be far behind?
Pam Grier, 59
Can you believe there's an African-American actress in her fifties
who made a major comeback more than ten years ago and is still a major
star, albeit on television, as she approaches her 60th birthday? Well,
you wouldn't know it from the media. The announcement that she was
joining the cast of the Showtime series the L Word was met with
little tongue-wagging. Of course, that all changed the moment we saw
how drop-dead gorgeous she remains-- not to mention the collective sigh
of relief when it turned out the show's writers weren't going to
blaxploitate her into irrelevancy. We eagerly await her next career
move now that the show is sadly off the air.
