Hi, guys! It’s Samantha! From a feline superhero to a woman related to royalty, here are some
of the most beautiful actresses that are fifty or older!
10. Monica Bellucci (54)
Monica Anna Maria Bellucci is fifty-four years old and was born in Citta di Castello, Umbria,
Italy. She began modeling at just thirteen years old and traveled to Milan in 1988. She
signed on with Elite Model Management and was already making a name for herself from
Paris to New York City by 1989. Bellucci started acting in the early 1990s, and she played
in 1991’s La Riffa and 1992’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula. She also earned a Cesar Award nomination
for playing Lisa in The Apartment. She gained more popularity with her roles in Malena,
Irreversible, and Brotherhood of the Wolf. I think we can all agree that Bellucci’s
age didn’t affect her seductive good looks one bit.
9. Courteney Cox (54)
Cox got her start at twenty years old in Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark”
music video in 1984. In 1985, she got a starring role in Misfits of Science, a television show
that aired for less than a year. Then, she played Lauren Miller in Family Ties from 1987
to 1989. Cox began her film career in Down Twisted, a 1987 crime movie, and acted in
Masters of the Universe, I’ll Be Home for Christmas, and Cocoon: The Return throughout
the 1980s. She also played Melissa Robinson in Ace Ventura alongside Jim Carrey. In 1994,
she got the part of Monica Geller in the sitcom Friends. Courteney had originally auditioned
to play Rachel Green in the show, but the role went to Jennifer Aniston. She acted in
the series until it ended in 2004, and she became one of the highest-paid actresses during
the last two seasons, making about one million dollars per episode. Courteney has also been
in numerous well-known movies, including the Scream film series, The Runner, The Shrink
Is In, and 3000 Miles to Graceland. Something you probably don’t know about Cox is that
she’s a direct descendant of two people who played significant roles in the likely-ordered
elimination of King Edward II of England. Plus, she’s one of William the Conqueror’s
descendants.
8. Demi Moore (56)
Now fifty-six, Demi Gene Guynes, or Demi Moore, was born in Roswell, New Mexico in 1962. Since
Roswell is known for its alien activity, it’s safe to assume that Moore’s unaging appearance
is due to her extraterrestrial roots. But, in all seriousness, this actress looks as
good as she did when she was starting out. Moore gained popularity in 1984 after she
made an appearance in the romantic comedy Blame It on Rio. She also acted in No Small
Affair that same year. However, she garnered more recognition for her role as Jules in
St. Elmo’s Fire, a coming-of-age film, which earned her a spot in the Brat Pack; but, she
thought the label was “demeaning.” In 1986, she starred in About Last Night with
Rob Lowe, which was more serious than her previous work. Moore went on to play in The
Seventh Sign, We’re No Angels, and Ghost, which is her most successful film to this
day. She portrayed Molly in the spiritual movie, and her pottery wheel scene became
an iconic moment on the silver screen. Demi is also known for G.I. Jane, Charlie’s Angels:
Full Throttle, and The Joneses.
7. Kim Basinger (65)
This blonde bombshell was born in 1953 in Athens, Georgia. Kim had been a professional
model for five years when she decided to quit in 1976. It was then that she moved to Los
Angeles to ignite her acting career. In 1978, she starred in the television movie Katie:
Portrait of a Centerfold, which was her first leading role. In 1981, she posed nude for
Playboy magazine and portrayed Jodie in Hard Country, a drama film about a young girl in
search of more than her small-town life in Texas. In 1983, Basinger played Domino Petachi,
the Bond girl, in Never Say Never Again alongside Sean Connery. She was also cast in the movies
The Man Who Loved Women, Blind Date, Fool for Love, 9 ½ Weeks, and Nadine throughout
the 1980s. But, her highest-grossing film was 1989’s Batman with Michael Keaton and
Jack Nicholson. In 2000, she portrayed Kuki Gallmann in I Dreamed of Africa; she notedly
“cried for hours” when she had to leave Kenya after they were done filming. Two years
later, Basinger played Jimmy ‘B-Rabbit’ Smith’s mother in the movie 8 Mile alongside
Brittany Murphy and Eminem. She went on to take roles in Cellular, The Sentinel, While
She Was out, and Charlie St. Cloud. Basinger has taken home one Oscar so far for her 1998
portrayal of Lynn Bracken in L.A. Confidential.
6. Sandra Bullock (54)
You probably wouldn’t have guessed that Sandra Bullock is fifty-four years old by
looking at her. She was born in 1964 in Arlington County, Virginia. Her father was employed
with the United States Army and worked as voice coach part-time, and her mom was a voice
teacher and opera singer. Sandra took acting courses in the late 1980s and eventually got
her part in the Off-Broadway play No Time Flat. Alan J. Levi, a director, took note
of her talent and offered her a role in Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the
Bionic Woman in 1989. Her part in the made-for-television film led to Bullock scoring several small
jobs in independent movies. Plus, she got the lead role in NBC’s sitcom Working Girl
in 1990. She appeared in Fire on the Amazon, Love Potion No. 9, and The Thing Called Love
from 1992 to 1993. She also played Lenina Huxley in 1993’s Demolition Man, which garnered
her more recognition. But, Bullock’s big breakthrough took place a year later when
she starred alongside Keanu Reeves in the film Speed, which made three hundred fifty
million dollars internationally. She portrayed the undercover FBI agent Gracie Hart in the
2000 film Miss Congeniality, which she also helped produce. In 2009, she played alongside
Ryan Reynolds in the romantic comedy The Proposal, which grossed three hundred seventeen million
dollars worldwide. That same year, she starred as Leigh Anne Tuohy in the biography drama
film The Blind Side, for which she won an Oscar for “Best Performance by an Actress
in a Leading Role.” Bullock was nominated for another Academy Award for her part as
Ryan Stone in 2013’s Gravity, and she has acted in Minions, Our Brand Is Crisis, and
Ocean’s Eight since then.
5. Ellen Barkin (64)
This actress was born in 1954, making her sixty-four years old. She gained recognition
in the 1982 comedy-drama Diner, in which she played Beth Schreiber. A year later, she took
the role as Sue Anne in Tender Mercies alongside Robert Duvall. Around the same time, Barkin
was also in the film Eddie and the Cruisers as Maggie Foley. She garnered more attention
in 1987 when she starred with Dennis Quaid in The Big Easy. In 1989, she got the role
of Helen Cruger in Sea of Love with Al Pacino as Detective Frank Keller. Barkin also acted
in a couple of Off-Broadway shows around that time, including Extremities with Susan Sarandon
and Eden Court, for which she received wonderful reviews. Her other roles include Annette Atkins
in 1999’s Drop Dead Gorgeous, Abigail Sponder in Ocean’s Thirteen, and Norma in Very Good
Girls. Barkin also played in the television series The New Normal from 2012 to 2013 and
took the recurring part of Dani Kirschenbloom in Happyish in 2015. This successful actress
hasn’t always had it easy, though. Did you know that Barkin had to fend off a burglar
in October 2017? She was in her apartment in New York City and was forced to hold the
door shut to keep a man from breaking in. He allegedly had a bag of jewelry but dropped
it before running away. Luckily Barkin stayed in great shape all these years and was able
to hold off the young thief with nothing but her own strength!
4. Halle Berry (52)
This superstar was born Maria Halle Berry in Cleveland, Ohio on August 14, 1966, making
her fifty-two years old today. In 1989, she moved to New York City in hopes of beginning
her acting career. Things weren’t easy for her at first, and she was forced to live in
a homeless shelter for a short period of time after running out of money. However, she soon
got the role of Emily Franklin on ABC’s Living Dolls series. But, her problems didn’t
stop there. While she was on set for the show, she went into a coma and found out that she
had Type 1 diabetes. Living Dolls was short-lived, and Berry moved to Los Angeles after its cancellation.
Soon after that, she got the recurring part of Debbie Porter in Knots Landing. Halle’s
first film was 1991’s Jungle Fever, and she starred in Strictly Business alongside
Tommy Davidson that same year. In 2000, Berry portrayed Storm in X-Men and went on to play
the superhero in the 2003, 2006, ad 2014 sequels. She then got the part of Leticia Musgrove
in 2001’s Monster’s Ball, a romantic drama film about a prejudiced correctional officer
that falls for the African American wife of a prisoner he’d executed. Berry won the
Oscar for “Best Actress in a Leading Role” for her portrayal and was the first African
American woman to do so. In 2003, she starred alongside Robert Downey, Jr. in Gothika, and
broke her arm during filming after Downey accidentally twisted it too hard. A year later,
she took the role in Catwoman, which is often considered one of worst movies ever created.
She even accepted her Razzie Award for “Worst Actress” in person.
3. Lucy Liu (50)
This fifty-year-old actress got her start when she was nineteen after being discovered
by a talent agent. Throughout the 1990s, she made appearances in various films and television
shows, including L.A. Law, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and The X-Files. She got her first
role as a member of the main cast in the series Pearl as Amy Li. In 1997, she was cast as
Ling Woo in Ally McBeal. In 2000, Liu portrayed Alex Munday in Charlie’s Angels alongside
Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore; the movie made over two hundred sixty million dollars
internationally. Since then, Lucy has played in numerous films, including Kill Bill volumes
one and two, Lucky Number Slevin, and the Kung Fu Panda movies. Not only is this talented
star beautiful, but she’s also really smart; Lucy Liu speaks six languages, including English,
Mandarin, and Italian.
2. Salma Hayek (52)
Hayek was born in 1966 in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico and is now fifty-two years old. When
she was twenty-three, she got the part of the main character in Teresa, a Mexican telenovela.
In 1991, she moved to Los Angeles and studied acting. Four years later, Salma Hayek was
cast in Desperado with Antonio Banderas. She is also known for 1999’s Wild Wild West,
2002’s Frida, and 2012’s Savages. Hayek is also an avid animal lover. In 2013, she
told Ellen DeGeneres, “I have five horses, four alpacas, one cat, eight dogs, one hamster,
five parrots, two fish, I’m sure I’m forgetting something.” Unfortunately, over the past
few years, she has had to say goodbye to two of her dogs.
1. Elizabeth Hurley (53)
You probably know this actress from her role as Vanessa Kensington in two of the Austin
Powers films. But, considering her good looks, you probably wouldn’t have guessed that
she’s now fifty-three years old. Hurley started out in the movie Aria in 1987. She
ended up as Estee Lauder’s spokesmodel at twenty-nine years old. Since then, she’s
acted in Bedazzled, Method, Viktor, and An Elephant’s Journey. Hurley also played Diana
Payne in Gossip Girl from 2011 to 2012.
