#19: Sela Ward
Age: 51
Where you know her from:
Sela has been on a number of TV shows, most recently “House M.D.,” and “Once and Again.” She was also in movies such as The Guardian, The Day After Tomorrow, and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
Why she made the list
She’s over 50. Almost 52 in fact. She doesn’t look a day over 25, and that’s reason enough.
#18: Jane Seymour
Age: 56
Where you know her from:
She’s been in a bunch of stuff that I’m sure you’ve never heard of. You probably remember her as Kathleen Cleary, in
Wedding Crashers. Oh, and there was that “Dr. Quinn” show, too. She apparently did a movie in 1972 called
The Best Pair of Legs in the Business. 25 years later, she’d probably still hold that title.
Why she made the list
Playing the overly sexual mother in
Wedding Crashers won her the nomination. The fact that she’s almost 60, and still oozes hotness definitely helped, too.
#17: Salma Hayek
Age: 41
Where you know her from:
She’s been in movies that everyone’s seen, such as
Dogma,
Bandidas, TV’s “Ugly Betty,”
Once Upon a Time in Mexico,
Traffic,
The Faculty,
From Dusk Till Dawn, and
Desperado.
Why she made the list
If you really need to ask this, please stop reading this list right now.
#16: Sofia Milos
Age: 42
Where you know her from:
Sofia played Detective Salas on TV’s “CSI:Miami,” and apparently was on “Caroline In The City” years back.
Why she made the list
Any woman over 40 who has the courage to grow her super-curly hair that long knows she’s hot. Milos looks classy in virtually every photo available of her online. I challenge you to find a picture of her where she doesn’t look fantastic.
#15: Robin Wright Penn
Age: 41
Where you know her from:
Two words for you: Princess. Buttercup. Robin’s done some other stuff, too. But you probably never saw any of it.
Why she made the list
There’s not a man in the world who didn’t see
The Princess Bride and fall madly in love with Princess Buttercup. Robin is not only as gorgeous now as she was back then, but she’s married to Sean Penn, who’s a serious bad-ass.
#14: Sheryl Crow
Age: 45
Where you know her from:
She plays music. Or so I’ve heard.
Why she made the list
While I could care less if I ever heard her sing again, Sheryl Crow’s gotten better looking as the time’s passed. Apparently, she’s a cancer survivor too. She gets hotness points for survival. Any woman who looks cancer in the face, and tells it to go to hell is okay with me.
#13: Famke Janssen
Age: 42
Where you know her from:
A more appropriate question would be, where
don’t you know her from. The
X-men trilogy,
Hide And Seek,
Don’t Say A Word,
The Faculty,
Rounders,
House On Haunted Hill. To name a few.
Why she made the list
Not only is Famke gorgeous, but she’s tall. Tall women (while they intimidate me) are hot. Famke kicks the crap out of hundreds of people between the three
X-men movies, which makes her super hot. She knows she’s hot, and acts like she’s a showstopper.
#12: Courtney Cox-Arquette
Age: 43
Where you know her from:
Oh, right. I’m sure you’ve never even heard of “Friends”? Or how about
Scream? No. Okay, how about
Scream 2, or
Scream 3? Didn’t think so.
Why she made the list
Even though she’s married to David Arquette (who’s one of the weirdest dudes ever), Courtney Cox is still a knockout. When “Friends” started, she was mediocre looking, at best. As time progressed, she got hotter and hotter, to the point where she out-hotted (yes, I just coined that phrase) Jennifer Aniston.
#11: Jamie Lee Curtis
Age: 49
Where you know her from:
Most famously for 1978’s
Halloween. Curtis has also been in “The Love Boat,”
The Fog,
Prom Night,
Escape from New York,
My Girl 2,
True Lies, and
Freaky Friday
Why she made the list
Jamie Lee Curtis has had us all swooning ever since her strip tease for The Governator in
True Lies 13 years ago. She may be slightly insane (if you doubt me, go watch
any interview with her ever conducted), but she knows she’s a gorgeous woman. Apparently she’s spending her days writing children’s books now. Like I said… slightly insane.
First of all - Sheryl Crow? Really?
Secondly, I can’t believe how many men leave Helen Mirren off their lists: she’s 62 and still hotter than most of the women in Hollywood. See here for proof.
“Secondly, I can’t believe how many men leave Helen Mirren off their lists”
Agreed! I’m STRAIGHT and I think Helen Mirren is hotter than the sun!
I think many men are afraid to admit that they find Helen Mirren sexy (there are boatloads of comments posted at IMDB and other blogs under anonymous aliases posted by guys as young as FIFTEEN who admit that they are attracted to her but, are afraid to admit it their friends or family due to her age.)
[...] Movie Snobs just published their picks for the 40 sexiest women over 40 and four of the CSI cast members are on the list! Here they are: [...]
[...] Movie Snobs just published their picks for the 40 Sexiest Women Over 40 and House’s ex, Stacy, aka Sela Ward, was on the list: [...]
Hargitay is the hottest over 40 ,30 ,20 whatever!!
YOU’VE WATCHED WAY TO MUCH TV.
I agree with Mariska being 1. She’s absolutely stunning.
Daisy Fuentes is Still Hot and Sexy for age of 41 or 42 years old,This Real Two SWEET………….SWEET……….SWEET…………SWEET……….SWEET……..
Nice list, however some of the placements are just wrong. Too low on the list:
Salma Hayek
Eva La Rue
Julia Louis Dreyfus
Stacey Dash
Wait, wait, wait. Back up to Monica Bellucci:
Where you know her from:
Probably nowhere, unless you saw the hysterical Shoot ‘em Up flick earlier this year, or have a tendency to watch Italian made flicks. Bellucci’s a rather unknown in the states.
what. the. f***.
What kind of American hasn’t seen the last two Matrix movies? Also: Passion of the Christ? (not that anyone saw that, but it’s not as if it wasn’t well-known)
And as much as I like Mariska Hargitay and believe she definitely should be on the list, I’m not sure she belongs at #1
I was linked here from the same kind of list on thedailydust.co.ok and both were missing one of my favorites, Jeri Ryan (Boston Public, Shark) who recently had her second child at age 41.
Maybe they can sub her in for Sheryl Crow!!!
