Having seen so many lists of hunks over 50, I thought I should put together a similar list to show that the ladies are just as gorgeous when it comes to the 50+ age category. In fact, so much so that you’ll be surprised that some of these ladies even qualify in age. 

Michelle Pfeiffer


Pfeiffer first garnered mainstream attention in 1983 with her appearance in “Scarface." She rose to prominence during the late 1980s - early 1990s, giving a series of critically-acclaimed performances in the “Dangerous Liaisons," “The Fabulous Baker Boys," “Frankie and Johnny,” and "The Age of Innocence” as well as appearing as Catwoman in “Batman Returns”.

Pfeiffer appeared on the cover of People's first "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" issue in 1990, and again in 1999, having made the list a record six times during the decade.

Susan Sarandon


Sarandon has worked in films and television since 1969, and won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the 1995 film “Dead Man Walking."
