DEMI MOORE - BORN IN 1962
She teased us in Striptease, made us fall in love with Ghost and even had us hating her in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Actress Demi Moore can portray any role you throw at her, because the veteran actress has been acting since she dropped out of high school at the age of 16. She may sport a few wrinkles now, a gray streak in her hair and prescription glasses, too, but the 56-year-old does not look her age at all.
Demi was so stressed out a few years ago that her tooth just fell off one day and she even showed it off on social media! Of course, she visited her family dentist's clinic and got herself a dental implant, but she knew she needed help. She was once all over the news after getting into trouble with her alcohol and drug addiction issues, but she worked hard on herself, started meditating, doing yoga and following a clean diet, since what one puts in their body shows on the face, too.
LUCY LIU - BORN IN 1968
We're so used to seeing actress Lucy Liu punching, shoving and kicking bad guys in her movies, that we assume that's what she's doing to the concept of aging as well, kicking it to the curb. Whether you saw her last in her movies Charlie's Angels, Kill Bill: Volume 1 or her latest Set It Up, she looks radiant, with youthful skin and a fantastic figure. Lucky that she has never had to undergo weight loss treatments!
Lucy is a big fan of acupuncture treatments (yup, it involves needles!), loves SoulCycle, running, pilates and gymming, had adopted an all-organic diet and has never ever had a facial treatment in her life! For her beauty regime, she loves using coconut oil as a make-up remover and moisturizer, and oddly enough some severe exfoliating twice a day with a washcloth, when she's not working.
MICHELLE PFEIFFER - BORN IN 1958
People love the timeless beauty of Michelle Pfeiffer so much, that she's been mentioned in not just one but two hugely popular songs (Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars and Riptide by Vance Joy!) The judges at the 1978 Miss California pageant must have needed glasses because they dared to place her 6th in the competition, but thankfully, this opened up more doors for her.
From Scarface to Dangerous Minds to I am Sam, Michelle wowed everyone with her acting skills and stunned movie goers with her beauty. Not much has changed since then, as she is as gorgeous as ever. She has even started her own line of beauty and fashion essentials, and because she believes in "clean beauty," she has also released a line of fragrances that are good for your skin and for the environment.
CATHERINE ZETA JONES - BORN IN 1969
[the_ad id="37192"]
Our reference point for all things Welsh has to come from their local beauty Catherine Zeta Jones, and judging by the way she has aged so gracefully, we have to assume that all Welsh women age beautifully! She began her career by working in British movies, where she was generally typecast as the 'pretty little thing' and eventually she moved to Hollywood (thank heavens) to star in The Mask of Zorro, Entrapment, The Terminal and No Reservations.
Although there were plenty of rumors of a very expensive plastic surgeon being employed to restore her youthful face, Catherine never addressed them. She only says that happiness helps her look younger, with a little bit of help from some expensive beauty products, a strict fitness and diet regimen and an exclusive spa in Italy that gives the best massages.
ROBIN WRIGHT - BORN IN 1966
There is a reason why actress Robin Wright played the Amazonian Goddess in the movie Wonder Woman, because this 50+ lady is in incredible shape and didn't need any weigh loss procedure or lap band surgery to get ripped. In fact, she doesn't even look very different from her Forrest Gump days!
Her favorite anti-aging product is as simple as a moisturizer, apart from avoiding stress, meditating, using vitamins for her hair, among other things. Robin is not shy about disclosing that she visits her cosmetic surgeon to get her non-surgical fix of 'Sublime,' which is a Botox treatment.
SUSAN SARANDON - BORN IN 1946
Hollywood has been very mean to women who have crossed the threshold of 40 years, with them being cast in roles playing a mother or grandmother. They have been pushed into a corner and made out to be centenaries who are in need of medicare, a nursing home, or pain management.
That's why we love Susan Sarandon for saying it as it is. The Dead Man Walking and Step Mom star prefers to look her age as she tones down on make up and beauty products, uses the lighting to her advantage, stays hydrated, and uses just enough lipstick and mascara to feel 'amazing' about herself.
ELLEN DEGENERES - BORN IN 1958
Talk show host and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres has such a bright smile that her image is probably hanging from some orthodontist or cosmetic dentist's office, making kids and adults feel bad that they need braces! People are also looking forward to knowing how she manages to stay glowing in her 60's. Ellen, being the darling that she is, has revealed her anti-aging secret.
The host of the Ellen DeGeneres Show, has a foolproof 3-stage secret. It involves, hydrating her face with the best oil-based cleanser, eating more veggies while avoiding sugar-based foods (again, making the dentist very happy)! and lastly, being positive and happy from within!
MARY LOUISE PARKER - BORN IN 1964
Actress and writer Mary Louise Parker has an envious resumé, because ever since the late 1980s, she's been acting in stage productions, movies and TV series which have catapulted her to stardom. And her career isn't the only thing worthy of envy, just look at her flawless skin and hair! The Weeds star has already crossed the 55-year threshold, but can give any 30-year-old, a run for her money!
Not the one to keep her beauty and wellbeing secrets to herself, Parker spoke very highly of a particular serum that she loves from the Dr. Hauschka Regenerating range, and she says that it keeps her wrinkle-free, not that anything's wrong with having wrinkles! Known to be a smoker and drinker, she cut down on it's consumption and has adopted a more skin-friendly diet, too.
JACLYN SMITH - BORN IN 1945
Jaclyn Smith became famous for playing the character of Kelly Garrett in the 1976 show Charlie's Angles, and for being the only leading lady to stay on for the entirety of the show. But, ever since the 80s, its her entrepreneurial side that's raking in all the money and attention. She was one of the first female celebs to have a clothing line with Kmart, and has now started selling her own interior design fabric range and also founded a beauty company named Jaclyn Smith Beauty.
But the 73 year old actress, who has had a career spanning 5 decades, knows that outer beauty is nothing without a clean and nourishing diet. That's why she blitzes up a green smoothie drink every morning that has kale, broccoli and spinach in it. It may not sound very appetizing, but it's clearly working for Ms. Smith...
RAQUEL WELCH - BORN IN 1940
Raquel is a singer and actress, who became famous for dressing up in an animal-print bikini in the movie One Million Years B.C. all they back in 1966. So obviously, she knows a thing or two about looking good on and off screen, having been on several TV shows and movies like Bedazzled, 100 Rifles and Hannie Caulder.
Just as she helped break the mold of the "bombshell blonde" stereotype in Hollywood, by playing strong female characters, she is also breaking the age barrier that the movie industry subjects older actresses to. The 68 year old has been a style icon and plans to do so in the future, as well!
DENZEL WASHINGTON - BORN IN 1954
One of the few men on our list, filmmaker and actor Denzel Washington has been playing the lead man in movies and TV series ever since his early days starring in St. Elsewhere as Dr. Chandler. Once Hollywood realized his immense potential, the projects just lined up for him, with one of his first movies, Glory, earning him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
We're sure Denzel is the perfect person to model your dental implants after, since he has the most dazzling smile. About aging, he has very little time to care about outer beauty, but he does share his wisdom about the fact that with age, one must realize that they aren't taking their wealth, name or fame with them, once they are dead and buried. Wow... that was very deep, Denzel!
TYRA BANKS - BORN IN 1973
[the_ad id="37192"]
A few years ago, model and TV personality Tyra Banks was trolled on social media as she seemed to have gained a few pounds and the trolling stopped once she underwent weight loss. So not fair, because this 45 year old can make a dress made of potato sacks look good! She's been a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, a Victoria's Secret Angel, has produced and hosted many shows (The Tyra Banks Show, America's Next Top Model, America's Got Talent), so where is the time to have a beauty regime?
Tyra says that she uses a cocktail of skincare products, and not just a single product that she relies on. She religiously follows a face wash ritual before sleeping, and still takes her mom's advice of moisturizing all over her body after a shower. She has even started her own make up line and there can't be a better person than Tyra to endorse the products.
TINA TURNER - BORN IN 1939
[the_ad id="37192"]
Singer-songwriter Tina Turner is so charismatic that she not only has a biographical movie about her (the Angela Bassett-starrer What's Love Got to Do with It) but a Broadway musical, too, based on her autobiography (called Tina). Because we see and hear Tina all the time, it's difficult for us to fathom that she turned 80 in 2019!
The secret to her youthfulness is being happy and we trust her since she looks the prettiest with that big smile of hers. She says that she does not stick to any particular cream or lotion, but uses a bit of everything. She believes that nothing one puts on themselves can make them beautiful, but rather how they feel about themselves, that makes them beautiful. Well said, Tina!
KEANU REEVES - BORN IN 1964
[the_ad id="37192"]
Actor Keanu Reeves must be the envy of many among his friends when they meet up at parties, as the 55-year-old actor still doesn't have to worry about hair loss or hair restoration treatments. The John Wick star is said to use hair color on his long tresses and even his beard, when he is shooting for a movie, as the role demands it.
But, in real life, when not shooting, he prefers to stay au naturel and not care too much about what he wears in public. His deodorant is probably the only thing the man uses! It has been said that Keanu is a time traveller who does not seem to age, with some even calling him immortal! But there is a more logical explanation to his young looks: staying hydrated, small meal portions, balancing carbs, fats and proteins in his diet and avoiding junk food. Pretty simple, eh?
SIGOURNEY WEAVER - BORN IN 1949
[the_ad id="37192"]
Sci-fi Queen Sigourney Weaver opened the door for many actresses who came after her, who starred as action heroines in science fiction movies. Of course, we remember Weaver for starring as Ellen Ripley in the terrifying movie series, Aliens. She has also starred in the movies Gorillas in the Mist, Working Girl, Ghostbusters, and Avatar, to name a few of her blockbusters.
When she joined the movie-making industry, she had very distinctive looks, much unlike the bombshells and actress of the time. When asked what she does to keep looking ageless, she admits that she just wants to grow older gracefully, not thinking about her looks too much, but instead focused on work. She tries her best to stay healthy and fit with a disciplined routine so that age doesn't slow her down.
HELEN MIRREN - BORN IN 1945
[the_ad id="37192"]
From the 1960's onwards, Dame Helen Mirren has been delivered awe-inspiring performances first with the Royal Shakespeare Company, before shifting focus to the movies and then to TV series. But, theatre remained her all-time passion, so she kept going back to Broadway and West End for her performances. As for movies, if you name your favorite 5 movies, chances are this Dame has acted in it!
The Woman in Gold actress hates the term 'anti-aging' and it's something that she mentioned to make-up and beauty giant L'oreal before she agreed to become the brand ambassador for their 'Age Perfect' range. She's brazen enough to say out aloud that she's been under the needle once, that is to get her eyebrows tattooed on, as she had sparse eyebrows.
SHARON STONE - BORN IN 1958
[the_ad id="37192"]
Basic Instincts and Catwoman hottie Sharon Stone has a big bone to pick with Hollywood, because she says that she felt "forgotten" by these 'brutally unkind' people while she was undergoing treatment after her 2001 stroke. Because of the expensive medical procedures, and very little work, she had to remortgage her house, all the while she was fighting to keep her son's custody.
But with this major health scare behind her, Ms. Stone is back at what she does best, light up the big screen, of course. She has a number of projects lined up, is looking healthier and says that accepting aging is hard. She decided to age gracefully, got treatment for her alcohol addiction, and exercises like a dancer, which involves a lot of stretching and dancing.
ANGELA BASSETT - BORN IN 1958
[the_ad id="37192"]
Bless Angela Bassett's heart, for she worked very hard with her dermatologists and the best skin care experts to come up with a skin care line, which was formulated specially to address the needs of dark-skinned women, who have more melanin in their skin. And who else but Angela to become the face of the new beauty line, since she has flawless skin!
She hates it when people come to her and tell her that she looks very young for her age, as she's already 60 years old. All her followers on social media love to comment on her bikini photos and are obsessed with her abs! She revealed to her fans that she keeps fit with circuit training, and they, too, can look younger by keeping their attitude hot and their stress levels low.
RITA MORENO - BORN IN 1931
[the_ad id="37192"]
Usually when actresses attend red carports, they have to worry about what dresses they need to wear to stand out, but Rita Moreno is the actress from West Side Story actress who dared to wear the same dress twice! She was 30 years old when she wore the famed black and white gown to the 1962 Oscars ceremony and again (with a little tweak) for the 2018 Oscars when she was 86!
The spunky lady, shuns contact lenses, is in love with her glasses, her shaggy disheveled hair and in no need of any hair restoration treatment, says that she takes things one day at a time and doesn't like to limit herself just because she's in her 80s! Her guiding philosophy is to live your life like it's your last day and the wisdom clearly shows on her face.
GWEN STEFANI - BORN IN 1969
[the_ad id="37192"]
Gwen Stefani is the golden-haired Grammy Award-winning singer and TV personality who has captivated fans from across the world with her voice and also her ageless visage. Although she is turning 50 soon, Gwen may have already found the fountain of youth as early as in the 80s when she was the lead singer of her band No Doubt, because she hasn't aged since!
When asked on the show Carpool Karaoke why she doesn't age, she mentioned that being in love with country singer Blake Shelton keeps her glowing, but she also mentions that she maintains her hair color and hair style as it adds to one's youth. Apart from that, the mom-of-three uses the lighting to her advantage, accentuates what's good and conceals what's not, believes in keeping spiritually fit and loves trying out new make up techniques and trends.
PHARRELL WILLIAMS - BORN IN 1973
[the_ad id="37192"]
Pharrell is a force to reckon with in the world of music. He's one heck of a busy man since he makes up 50% of The Neptunes, is the drummer and lead singer for N*E*R*D (a band) and is also heading a media venture which focuses on fashion, art, music, and entertainment. So we're surprised that all this work and stress still hasn't been able to age him!
The 46 year old revealed that when it comes to skin care, he heeds the advice of supermodel Naomi Campbell, as she once advised him to "visit a dermatologist, and stop using over-the-counter beauty products." And it worked! He also says that he exfoliates his skin "like a madman" and drinks a lot of water. It works so well for the 'Happy' singer, that he has become an 'ageless' meme on social media!
PHYLICIA RASHAD - BORN IN 1948
[the_ad id="37192"]
The 80s and 90s were a good time for television and its actors. There was a boom in the industry, with many shows being aired and they were even dealing with progressive themes and subjects. One such show was The Cosby Show, which climbed to the top for 5 seasons and stayed there. Phylicia Rashad played the role of Clair Huxtable on the show, quickly becoming America’s Favorite TV Mom, with her sassy and no-nonsense airs.
Rashad did not have to visit the plastic surgeon's clinic to keep herself looking good as she believes in aging gracefully. The 71 year old attributes her looks to a restful night of sleep, plenty of water, not consuming alcohol and staying away from smoking. Add to that some deep tissue therapy massage at a good spa, and we would hope to look this young too.
BIANCA LAWSON - BORN IN 1979
[the_ad id="37192"]
Bianca Lawson is an actress and she's a screen chameleon. She's been fooling us by playing a high school student for more than 20 years now, when she's actually 40 years old! She was a school student in 1993's Saved by the Bell: The New Class, 1998's Dawson's Creek and 2010's Pretty Little Liars, and it seems like she will just continue doing so till eternity ends!
She credits her inherited genetics for her youthful looks, and does not follow a set beauty regime, saying that she has been using the same products since she was very young, as a new product drives her skin, hair and body crazy. She shuns soda and chooses to hydrate with water instead, since her mom never allowed sugary drinks in their refrigerator. Good move, Bianca's mom!
ALYSON HANNIGAN - BORN IN 1974
[the_ad id="37192"]
If a Hollywood casting director is looking to cast someone young and fresh-faced in a movie but also needs them to have a lot of acting experience, then Alyson Hannigan is the gal to go to! She starred in the popular TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and probably picked up some age-defying spell from that show, because this American Pie star is already 45 years old.
Because she's not got many wrinkles and any gray hair, she could portray the role of Lily Aldrin on How I Met Your Mother, easily transitioning between playing a 60-year-old to an 18-year-old on the show! But, it's hard to be mad at her for her eternally young looks and we will definitely have whatever she's having.
CICELY TYSON - BORN IN 1924
[the_ad id="37192"]
Someone like Cicely Tyson, who has a career that lasted more than 6 decades, surely has a lot of wisdom to share. And Cicely doesn't disappoint. She has even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and we aren't surprised since she has acted in many pathbreaking movies such as Sounder, Diary of a Mad Black Woman and The Help.
No way does Cicely look like she's 94 years old, and she obviously has access to a really good quality fountain of youth. But, in reality, she doesn't care too much about how she looks, but more about leaving a legacy behind. Her longevity comes from optimism and she says that it reflects on her face, and in her life.
DOLLY PARTON - BORN IN 1946
[the_ad id="37192"]
We have a theory that writing is what keeps 70+ singer Dolly Parton young and mentally fit. After all, she has composed over 3000 songs in her 5 decade long career! She's not just a singer-songwriter and composer, mind you. She's also a record producer, businesswoman, actress, author, country legend and she does a lot of charity work too.
So while she was busy doing all this, she probably forgot to age. And Dolly isn't shy to admit that she tries very hard to not look old and if she finds something on her body that's sagging or wrinkly, she gets it nipped and tucked, obviously referring to plastic surgery. She attributes her younger looks to good lighting, good make up and good doctors. You know what they say, 70 is the new 3o!
JANE FONDA - BORN IN 1937
[the_ad id="37192"]
Actress and producer Jane Fonda has to be one of the fittest 81-year-olds we have ever come across. But she did give her fans the scare of their life when she revealed that a cancerous growth on her lip was removed via a small surgery. She even showed up to public events and interviews with bandages on her lips, to let everyone know about her struggles with cancer treatments and how it's nothing to be ashamed of.
While she is busy with her acting projects (such as her hilarious comedy series Grace and Frankie), she also finds time to be a fitness guru, a writer and an activist. About her secret to aging, she said that she prefers to age gracefully, but admits getting plastic surgery in her 70s right under her eyes, but she almost instantly regretted it.
TOM CRUISE - BORN IN 1962
[the_ad id="37192"]
The critics have not always been kind whenever Tom Cruise released a new movie. That's no big deal for one of the top-grossing actors in the world, since 'Father Time' has been very kind to him over the years. Not only is the 57 year old actor making truckloads of money, but he's also hardly aged since the 90's. Don't believe us, watch Jerry Maguire and Mission: Impossible and you'll know what we are talking about.
Because he mostly stars in action movies these days, he has to keep fit and he attributes his diet, personal trainer and fitness regime which make him look younger. He jogs, hikes, fences, kayaks in the open sea, and goes rock climbing, among other outdoor activities. Tom has adopted a David Beckham-devised diet plan, that only consists of grilled foods, taking in 1200 calories a day and zero carbohydrates.
MADONNA - BORN IN 1958
[the_ad id="37192"]
In 1981, singer Madonna went solo, shining as a pop singer and creating a huge buzz in the male-dominated music scene, at that time. When the 90s rolled in, she had already delivered 21 Top 10 US charts and 70 million of her albums flew off the shelves internationally. Her timeless hits Like a Prayer, Material Girl, and Die Another Day, ensured that Forbes magazine acknowledged her as 2008's Wealthiest Female Musician.
Now in her early 60s, having 2 kids of her own and 4 adopted children, Madonna has a changed view on life and aging, as she has stopped thinking about society's expectations from her. She believes in taking care of herself, staying fit and in good shape, admitting candidly that the world his harsher on older women that it is on older men.
BRAD PITT - BORN IN 1963
[the_ad id="37192"]
Raising 6 children of various ages can turn any man's hair and beard gray so we're going to ignore that fact about actor Brad Pitt. We saw his baby blue eyes (those are no contact lenses!) for the first time, more than 20 years ago in the movie A River Runs Through It, although he did have a bit role in the movie Thelma & Louise before that. Every award season, the cameras spot this elusive actor, who has to be the best looking 56 year old out there.
Benjamin Button-ing his way into our hearts, he did look at least 20 years younger in his movie Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, and although people would cry plastic surgery or CGI effects, the truth is far from it. In reality, Brad just gave up alcohol, and that's why he's looking his he has lost weight and a few years too.
VANESSA WILLIAMS - BORN IN 1963
[the_ad id="37192"]
Model, actress and singer Vanessa Williams may have won the Miss America 1985 title but with her looks, she can just as easily win another title today, even though she is close to being 60 years old. You may remember Venessa Williams from movies such as Shaft and Dance with Me and also loved to hate her in TV series such as Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives.
Williams doesn't just sit back and let age take over, as she uses diet, beauty products, a rock-solid fitness routine and positive thinking to get over the slump. She admits that she discovers a new wrinkle every day and that it's a constant battle. She is glad that there are more solutions now than there were 10 years ago.
JAMES LIPTON - BORN IN 1926
[the_ad id="37192"]
Yes, writer and actor James Lipton is in his mid-nineties and just like you we’re having a hard time believing this fact! We bet you also thought he is not more than 70 years old. Well, the reality turned out to be a bit different!
He is mostly recognized for the TV show Inside the Actors Studio, which he hosted for almost 25 years before retiring from it in 2018. While many speculate that Lipton has undergone plastic surgeries to defy age, others believe that he’s naturally blessed. Whatever may be the tactic – it worked for sure!
SALMA HAYEK - BORN IN 1966
[the_ad id="37192"]
Salma, Salma, Salma... what have you been doing to look this young in your 50s! The Oscar-nominated Mexican-origin actress is wealthy, and is even married to a billionaire, so she must have the best doctors, cosmetic surgeons and spa specialists at her disposal. But, the Frida actress chooses to embrace her advancing age, greying hair and every wrinkle that comes her way!
She even has her own skin care line, Nuance by Salma Hayek, and why should't she, since her skin looks so beautiful without even a single Botox treatment. She says that she has no patience to sit through a hair coloring session, loves the 'less is more' philosophy and prefers to use natural fixes to take care of her skin. Whatever she's doing, its definitely working!
PHOEBE CATES - BORN IN 1963
[the_ad id="37192"]
There are some people who seem to have discovered the fountain of youth or probably they are from some sort of a vampire clan, because they don't seem to age. Actress Phoebe Cates is one of them, who rose to fame during the 80s and best remembered for the films Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Gremlins.
Believe us when we tell you that the actress-turned-businesswoman is now 56 years old, nearing her 60s! Despite her age, she seems to only be in her 30s - and to think she also has two adult kids. Whatever Cates' secret is, we want to be in on it!
LISA BONET - BORN IN 1967
[the_ad id="37192"]
It's just really easy to confuse Big Little Lies actress Zoë Kravitz, with her mom, Lisa Bonet, who was introduced to us because of The Cosby Show. After all Lisa was just 21 years old when she had her daughter with rocker and ex-husband Lenny Kravitz. But now that Lisa is 51 years old, she still looks phenomenal!
Considering that her husband is the gym enthusiast and actor Jason Momoa, Lisa must eat super healthy and work out with a personal trainer, all the time. But in reality, she is very open about the lotions, potions and scrubs she uses to look youthful, because she doesn't just wake up looking like this! She uses coconut oil for her dreadlocks, doesn't over-tweeze her eyebrows, and relies on African dance to keep fit.
