Role models: 10 famous women in age
Star of "American Horror Story" Jessica Lang has become the face of Marc Jacobs cosmetics, and no less beautiful Charlotte Rampling now personifies the beauty of the Nars brand. Both actresses are over 60. We have chosen ten more mature stars that we would like to see on lightboxes and on advertising pages instead of models - because their image carries certain experience and ideals.
Susan Sarandon
67-year-old owner of the Oscar, Sarandon became famous for her roles in The Hunger Tony Scott, where she played the beloved of the immortal heroine Catherine Deneuve, and the redhead beast in the Eastwick Witches. She is still actively removed (even more actively than in her younger years), consistently supporting Democrats and social campaigns. Two years ago, Susan and her 26-year-old daughter appeared in an advertisement for Neiman Marcus "The Art of Fashion", where, to the credit of a department store, the actress was almost not photoshopped. She looked perfect.
Judi Dench
Judi Dench has played heroines at the age of twenty, but in the memory of the audience (if not all, then the majority) will remain as the first female M of the bondiana. Even if you know by heart the track record of the actress, you see, the role of the head of the British secret service MI6 is more than worthy of a role to make history with him. At 79, Dench feels like a “43-year-old graceful blonde with legs from her ears” and is not going to retire at all. We call these women "ideal role models."
Emma Thompson
Briton Emma Thompson at the age of 35 played a 16-year-old Elinor in the film "Reason and Feelings", won for the role of "Oscar", and another one for the script for the film, which she wrote for several years. She gave birth to her first child in 39. She adopted a complicated teenager from Rwanda. After 40, he boldly plays wives, mothers, frikanuty witches and even ugly nannies. At the same time, in reality, it looks better than many of its heroines (which is rare at any age). In general, Emma Thompson is an excellent psychotherapeutic example for anyone who is afraid of any numbers after thirty.
Helen Mirren
From the role of Greenaway to Elizabeth II in The Queen by Stephen Frears and Prosper in the fantasy production of Shakespeare's The Tempest - Helen Mirren always looked like the personification of everything British. In 2012, she starred in the Marks & Spencer campaign along with much younger compatriots: artist Tracey Emin, model Karen Elson and singer Ellie Golding. We don’t raise a hand to write a standard phrase about the connection between tradition and modernity, but this seems to be what Mirren personifies.
Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver played one of the most powerful female roles in the history of mainstream cinema - an astronaut woman who turned out to be a worthy opponent and, in a certain sense, Alien partner. Cases of bygone days? Pff, Sigourney is still seen as the woman of the future - she plays the head of a scientific mission in Avatar. In addition, in reality, she is also seriously worried about environmental protection.
Meryl Streep
One of the most beloved Hollywood actresses, Meryl Streep is positive in every sense. Without it, it seems, no Oscar ceremony can do; she is equally playing roles in the drama "The Watch" and the comedy "Death to her face"; she doesn't look stupid even in the musical "Mamma MIA!" and literally saves the recent biopic Margaret Thatcher, playing the British premiere in old age and semi-insanity. By the way, she donated the fee for this role to the National Museum of Women's History.
Isabelle Huppert
There is an equal sign between Huppert and the French festival cinema: during her career, she managed to act with Jean-Luc Godard, Maurice Pialat, Bertrand Tavernier, Claude Chabrol and Claire Denis (this is only part of the list), without ever entering Hollywood territory. Her most famous role is in “The Pianist” Haneke, where she tried on in every way the difficult image of an adult woman depressed by her mother. At the same time, she seems to be playing for a long time the heroines of an indefinite age: neither Jupper, on the face, nor on the face, with translucent skin, shining freckles and the almost complete lack of make-up, it is absolutely impossible to guess the year of her birth - 1953.
Catherine Bigelow
One of the few female directors of Hollywood, the ex-wife of James Cameron and beautiful, Bigelow takes off on a seemingly male theme. For example, the criminal classic "On the crest of a wave" with Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves - her handiwork. In 2010, her “Lord of the storm” about the war in Iraq stole “Oscar” from “Avatar”, and “Target number one” about the operative who found Osama bin Laden collected several dozens of awards and nominations. At that time, Bigelow was 60 - and it is impossible to give this age to her in any way: she is now in great shape both as a woman and as a director.
Stevie nix
Even a year ago, Fleetwood Mac's face and voice were loved and remembered mostly by music lovers, let's say, by the older generation. But here in the new season of American Horror Story, the hippie witch Misty Day emerged, whom Knicks served as a role model. And soon, the Knicks appeared in the series as herself. And I must say, the way she looks in her 65, indirectly confirms the rumors about the singer’s witchcraft abilities.
Isabella Rossellini
The child of the roaring novel Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini, actress, model, David Lynch’s muse, director, environmentalist and writer, Rossellini, was the face of Lancôme for 14 years. Until 1992, when, according to her, the French cosmetic concern broke a contract with her because she was “old”. At that time, Isabella Rossellini was 40 years old. Now she is 61, and the times have changed: a year ago she became the face of Bulgari - and Lancôme should start nibbling her elbows.
