Fabulous Feminine Figures Over Forty

Posted: 8/5/06 at 12:16pm

I've noticed that some of our darling divas of the stage who have reached their prime are sporting magnificent figures. Pilates? Pool aerobics?

I think Victoria Clark and Jill Clayburgh look lovely with their tiny waists and graceful shapes.

What women of the theatre over forty years of age do you find to be in fine female form?

Brooke Shields, Liza Minnelli(while in her 40's)
There are really hundreds, most actresses look great after 40.
All the women from Sex and the City, the list is endless...

Are we incuding actresses who have had multiple plastic surgeries, or should they get a separate thread, because I seen an unfair mix in here.

Swoozie Kurtz

And Wanna Be A Foster, we are talking figures, not faces.

(I don't think we should bother to pry as to whether there's been any plastic surgery there. I say with or without is fine.)

It's been said a million times before, but if I could look at 58 even HALF as good as Bernadette Peters looks, I'll be a happy lady. Hell, I wish I looked that good NOW, at 23... ;_;

Victoria Clark and Carolee Carmello are a very fine pair of ladies too. :3

I can't believe I'm the first to mention Patti LuPone!

Bernadette is at the top of the list. She doesnt expose herself to the sun and takes excellent care of herself. She's a walking doll even in her fifties.

Cherry Jones is a waif. She's very fit and seems very active and always is glowing and fresh at the stage door. She must hydrate very well.

I must say, while not the most "feminine" figures, I find both Patti Lupone and Judy Kaye stunning (in and out of lovett)

Sure, doesn't have to be musicals.

Broadway and Off Broadway theatre is fine.

Phylicia Rashad is almost 60 and looks wonderful. Sheryl Lee Ralph is another stunning woman. I second Marin Mazzie. Both Glenn Close and Meryl Streep have aged very well. While not a theatre star I've marveled at how wonderful Jaclyn Smith looks. She'll be 61 this year.
