A Dozen Actresses In Their 40s That Still Rev Our Engines
Posted by Fat Guys at the Movies (fatguys@filmschoolrejects.com) on September 16, 2007
Every year, dozens of articles come out in the entertainment rags that bemoan the fact that Hollywood puts too much emphasis on hot, young starlets. Yet, after last week’s Shoot ‘Em Up and this week’s The Brave One, the Fat Guys at the Movies got to thinking that there are still plenty of hot actresses out there in their 40s.
Here’s a list of a dozen hot actresses that have reached 40, or more, and still turn us on. These are the older women that we’d like to bang… not together, of course… unless they insisted. (It would be weird, but we’d get over it to have a roll in the hay with them.)
Note: This is far from an exclusive list, and it’s ordered in age from youngest to oldest, not necessarily by hotness.
12. Nicole Kidman (40 years old)

What was Tom Cruise thinking? Unless she’s wearing that nasty prosthetic nose from The Hours, this hot Aussie still has it going on.
11. Maria Bello (40 years old)

Some first noticed her in Coyote Ugly. She turned other heads in Payback. But it was sultry, sexy performances in The Cooler and A History of Violence that won our hearts. It made Fat Guy Kevin Carr want to go buy his wife a cheerleader outfit and meet her on the stairs.
10. Salma Hayek (41 years old)

We’ll take Salma any way possible, whether it’s with a unibrow in Frida or in her stunning American debut in Desperado. She’s got the curves, and we love to watch her move. We’d also gladly be the slave to her snake lady in From Dusk ‘Til Dawn.
9. Halle Berry (41 years old)

Sure, she’s done some real stinkers in her day (dare we say Catwoman), but even in the worst movie, we like looking at Halle Berry. Baby and all, she’s still a hottie.
8. Kristen Davis (42 years old)

Let’s face it, Kristen Davis was the only one of the four loose Manhattan women from “Sex in the City” who was actually worth it. We need her in more movies, especially ones that call for sex scenes.
7. Diane Lane (42 years old)

The Fat Guys had a smack-down about who could claim Diane Lane as their favorite. Kevin won, simply because he remembers seeing her as a 13 year old in A Little Romance (which isn’t that creepy, considering Kevin was only eight when he saw it). She’s still got it, even today.
6. Monica Bellucci (42 years old)

Whether she’s playing Mary, the mother of Jesus, or a lactating prostitute, we love Monica. And think how awesome it would be if she would whisper sweet nothings to us in Italian.
5. Vanessa Williams (44 years old)

Who would have thought we’d have two ladies from “Ugly Betty” on this list? We still have fond memories of her Penthouse pictorial that got her dethroned as Miss America, as well as co-starring with the Governator in Eraser.
4. Jodie Foster (44 years old)

Her sexy-yet-earthy vigilante performance in The Brave One helped inspire the list, but her great pair of legs in Inside Man is what we remember the most of recent years. Now all she has to do is the raunchy road comedy, and we’ll have a new favorite.
3. Kelly Preston (44 years old)

John Travolta’s a lucky man. His middle-aged hottie of a wife looks better than he does now. We remember her baring all in 1985’s Mischief, and we’d watch her do it again.
2. Michelle Yeoh (45 years old)

This Malaysian beauty is one of the reasons to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Forget her nymphet co-star Ziyi Zhang. We’re hot for teacher. And let’s not forget she’s also a Bond girl from Tomorrow Never Dies who could actually kick Bond’s ass.
1. Michelle Pfeiffer (49 years old)

She’s the oldest on the list, but she’s also the hottest. And Michelle Pfeiffer proved her hotness this year with head-turning performances in Stardust and Hairspray. We have one word for her, Meow!
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Sherilyn Fenn (42 years old), She’s in her 40s, and she put on enough weight to play Lulu Hogg in the Dukes of Hazzard sequel, but Fat Guy Kevin Carr cannot leave his favorite “Twin Peaks” off the list.
Catherine Keener (48 years old), Steve Carell got to bang her in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, but more importantly, she got to bang Cameron Diaz in Being John Malkovich. The Fat Guys are just waiting their turn.

Jodie Foster and Vanessa Williams that high up on the list? What has Vanessa Williams even done in the last 10 years? Jodie Foster is ok, but she’s less attractive than 43 year old Bridget Fonda, who’s omission from this list if virtually unforgivable - though she too, it seems, has mostly disappeared from the screen.
September 17th, 2007 at 1:43 am
uh….. vanessa williams is currently one of the leading ladies on Ugly Betty…
and the list is not in order of hotness, but by age. Jodie does not necessarily top it at all.
and yes, bridget fonda is a hottie, but I can’t think of anything she’s been in lately
September 17th, 2007 at 11:58 am
to my knowledge, bridget fonda has actually quit acting since she married danny elfman in 2002-2003 and has no plans right now to come back…
September 17th, 2007 at 1:55 pm
I just watched Bridget in Point of No Return, such a good one.
No Meg Ryan?
September 17th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
Oh and if you ever do a women in their 50s list you got Ellen Barkin, Renee Russo and Sharon Stone.
September 17th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
helloooooo, daryl hannah ???
and wtf? jodie foster is busted.
September 17th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
Jennifer Tilly……Gina Gershon?
September 17th, 2007 at 3:32 pm
What about one for those of us who love read hair Julianne Moore
September 17th, 2007 at 3:34 pm
2 words Heather Locklear. Common guys a list of hot older women without her is blasphemy
September 17th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
Fat fucks:
How dare you not put Heather Locklear on that list! Shame on you. Jodie foster? Come on!
How could I possibly imagine that you guys would get this list right.
PS: otherwise a good list.
September 17th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
What about Teri Hatcher??!!!
September 17th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Jodie Foster doesn’t lose any points for being a lesbian? It disqualifies her in my mind.
September 17th, 2007 at 5:04 pm
Terri Hatcher should DEFINITELY be on that list. From Lois and Clark to Desperate Housewives. still bangin’
September 17th, 2007 at 5:09 pm
Like 40 is ancient or something? Ugh.
September 17th, 2007 at 5:28 pm
Cammon!
Missing 2 beauties.. Heather Locklear and Demi moore!
Jodie Foster? Vanessa Williams? She looks like 50 in ugly betty!
September 17th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
OK so its breaks the `40+` mood but boy is Lena Headey beau-ti-ful!!!
September 17th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Jodie Foster? Really? Really??? She can get replaced with Heather Locklear easily.
September 17th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
OK, now for 12 women, 40 and over, who are still hot….. that have NOT gone under the knife. Botox is “ok” but anything involving a scalpel and putting the actress to sleep completely disqualifies….. this kinda thins it out just a bit don’t you think?
September 18th, 2007 at 1:24 am
What about Elizabeth Hurley?
September 18th, 2007 at 6:09 am
Angela Bassett turned 49 last August 16th and is still a ravishing beauty!
September 18th, 2007 at 6:48 am
aw hellz yea angela bassett!!!! daaamn
September 18th, 2007 at 10:42 am
I think Patricia Heaton (49) is the sexiest woman on the planet.
September 18th, 2007 at 2:00 pm
Catherine Zeta Jones????
September 18th, 2007 at 2:00 pm
raquel welch, I would
September 18th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
Liz Hurley in “Bedazzled” is the hottest thing I’ve seen since Liz Hurley in “Austin Powers,” and that’s a whole helluva lot hotter than Kelly Preston.
September 18th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
Tara asked:
“No Meg Ryan?”
Yeah. Meg Ryan is super DOOPER hot. If you like chicks who look like the Joker. If you guys ever make a list called WORST PLASTIC SURGERY MISHAPS IN HOLLYWOOD, she should be number one.
mjavn asked:
“Jodie Foster doesn’t lose any points for being a lesbian?”
I don’t know if your a dude or a dudette, but if you’re a dude, you should know that no REAL MAN would ever DEDUCT points for a chick’s hotness because she’s a lesbian. That would be like saying, “Yeah, Godzilla’s a big, cool lizard monster, but he loses points because on top of all that he breathes fire.”
Lloyd said:
“I think Patricia Heaton (49) is the sexiest woman on the planet.”
You and the rest of the Sunday School teachers at your local whacked out fundamentalist super megachurch. Patricia Heaton is a silly, stupid, insane fundamentalist Christian moron. And if you take a chick who’s a ten and add “silly, stupid, fundamentalist Christian moron” to the list, you automatically have to deduct a million points. So Patricia Heaton, on a scale of one to ten, is a -999,990.
September 18th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Meg Ryan???!!! ew! Have you seen “In the Land of Women”????
Teri Hatcher… too skinny.
Naomi Watts and Zeta-Jones - still in their 30s.
I’ll give you Elizabeth Hurley (although she’d probably be lousy in the sack, considering Hugh Grant got a hummer from a street walker while he was dating her), Heather Locklear and Angela Bassett.
But Patricia Heaton???!!! double ew!

Actually, Liz Hurley is a good one. She actually seems to be getting hotter with age.

Susan Surrandon anyone? Yeah she’s getting up there but she was still fine in Alfie, even though the film was garbage.
September 19th, 2007 at 6:48 am
Well, I prefer two 20yo better than one 40yo
September 19th, 2007 at 7:55 am

Not everyone. Take a look at Liza Minelli
September 20th, 2007 at 1:42 am
Patricia Heaton has the biggest ears I’ve ever seen, she’s like a Kebler elf, she tries to hide them but look during a rerun of Raymond.
rockr, Courteney Cox Arquette is a good one

Jeez, every one of those 40-ish broads is nothing but pounds of plastic surgery. If any of them lit a match, they’d melt.

Ever watch Black Snake Moan? Cristina Ricci was and is HOT!!
December 7th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
Marisa Tomei - Go see “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”. Looks like a very hot twenty-something - and she’s 43!
April 6th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Diane Lane is the hottest, seconded by Mrs. Foster.
Man, I love you Diane!
