favorite "slightly older" actresses?
 
Some days I watch movies and feel like actresses who are over a certain age just don't get a fair break in Hollywood. But it doesn't seem right. Remember how everyone went nuts over how hot Renee Russo was in The Thomas Crown Affiair?

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had favorite actresses who were slightly older? I dont' want to say "old" because most of them aren't. They just aren't 27 anymore.

Anyway, Renee Russo is definitely a fave of mine. Also I love Meryl Streep. I feel like she does an awesome job in every thing she's been in. Did anyone else see Postcards from the Edge? It was hilarious! I'm really looking forward to seeing her in Adaptation. It'll be nice to see a mature actress playing a love interest.

I think Emma Thompson and Maggie Smith are amazing actresses (and Maggie Smith has got to be in her seventies/eighties). i love watching their movies. they seem to get a lot of roles, although EmmaThompson i don't see much anymore. maybe tis' because they're british?

:) whew. I was so worried I was going to open this thread and it would say Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, etc-- actresses in their 30s. :)

I think Susan Sarandon is just amazing. She's sexy and smart and I hope she continues to get roles for many, many years to come.

Ditto on Susan Sarandon. :D

Hands down.....Jaime Lee Curtis. The reason is because not only is she a good actress, but she did a photo shoot (not sure what magazine) where there was natural light, no touch-ups, etc.... Very brave for a Hollywood sex symbol to do something like that!

.....Kelly :)

Second that.

Also I would like to add Angela Bassett. The woman is bad!

I think Sharon Stone is absolutely gorgeous, and she is pretty under rated as an actress IMO

Angela Bassett: beautiful and talented

Maggie smith was deliciously wicked in "gosford park"!!! I think Cate Blanchett is also in her mid 30's which is only considered "older" in hollywood, but she's amazing as well.

Faye Dunaway now counts as slightly older, as does Catherine Deneuve and Anouk Aimee.

And how about LaTanya Richardson (appears as judge on A&E courtroom drama, can't recall the name).

They just done turn out too many great actresses anymore. My favorite actress of all time: Rosalind Russell. I think she's passed away, but I love her!

I love Gena Rowlands, Olympia Dukakis, and Holland Taylor.

Exactly what I was thinking! I love her style. :)

Michelle Pfeifer. She's hot, and because she old and hot, it makes her that much hotter. :)
