My personal favorite for growing old gracefully, Sophia Loren. I was in love with her when I was 12!

What are you? OLD? Geez. Fetish, huh?No, actually I'm a mother who is about Bo's age, and I very much admire her for her horsemanship, political views, and capacity for holding onto her looks without descending into self-parody. She is charming. I hope I can hang onto my looks as well (on a percent basis, of course!)

Good for you. I have always admired BO. It is saying something to be good looking and also smart. She has always been a class act.
Either way, you can’t lose.

"My personal favorite for growing old gracefully, Sophia Loren." I agree, she is still a beautiful woman. Tall with gorgeous posture and, as far as I can tell, very few wrinkles. Raquel Welch is another one that looks pretty good. She's 67 and one of my husband's favorites.

73 year old Brigitte?
sorry but would not “hit” it
for an older babe bring on Susan Lucci, I’d hit that twice
To: Florida native
You’re correct; however, I can still see the sparkle in her eyes. That remnant of our youth still shines through those wrinkles and crevasses.
You bet it does. I have an uncle in his eighties, he is just beginning to become frail-elderly but his spirit is irrepressible.

The comments on this thread show why it is more important for a woman to be pretty than to be smart. It’s because most men can see better than they can think.

Actually I don’t think that is true. My comment was one of fear of time because it really sneaks up on us and gives us a good kick. Also most of us have only seen Bridget as a young beauty and then years pass and we get a picture of her in her 70’s. It is a natural reaction.

LOL!! Me too, ‘cept that my eyes are usually a bit puffier, probably ‘cause I only get 3 1/2 - 4 hours sleep a night. My hair usually isn’t quite that bad, though. ;o)

My mother-in-law, widowed twice, remarried at 78 to the only viable widower in Florida. She lost him, too, and was very attractive well into her nineties. OK, I don't mean she was a hot babe, but she had always stayed out of the sun so she had beautiful skin, she was slender and fit, and she still has a joyful, mischievous sparkle despite suffering and loss. I admire her immensely. So does every man who meets her. Now, that's beautiful.

The comments on this thread show why it is more important for a woman to be pretty than to be smart. Its because most men can see better than they can think.Is she famous for the publication of her discoveries in Quantum Mechanics? She's famous because she was beautiful.
Do you really believe that I think she should convert to Islam just so she could wear a burkha? That wouldn't even make sense if taken seriously since wearing one isn't a requirement of Islam.
The article puts no small emphasis on the shocking difference between the beauty for which she's known, and her current appearance. Joking about it doesn't mean that men don't care about intelligent women, or appreciate anything else the aged model has done.
Lighten up, Francis.

To: generally
In her heyday she was an international sex symbol who starred in a series of hit films including The Girl in the Bikini.Bardot made her living by her looks. She didn't require intelligence to glow or to captivate. What is the important tidbit that you suppose I have missed in any of Bardot's pronouncements after her acting retirement? People who earn a living based on how they look have to understand their chosen ammunition (physical appearance) will run out , and people will notice.
