访谈录 2009-10-31&11-03 好莱坞年过四十的女星们

"Margaret, your visa application has been denied. And you‘ve been deported 1."

"deported？"

45-year-old Sandra Bullock plays a woman desperate to get married in the romantic comedy The Proposal. The Showbiz Tonight can tell you her body of work goes way beyond acting 2.

"Hello?"

"Oh. My god."

"You are naked."

"Where you were?"

And who could forget Halle Berry’s sexy turn as a Bond Girl in Die Another Day.

"magnificent view"

" It is, isn’t?

It sure is. There are women over 40 in Hollywood and they really know how to pack a punch

"They say that 40 is the new 30. I don’t know. Maybe 40 is the new 20. Today women in Hollywood, when you reach 40, you become the woman that you are. And I think that shows in their work."

It sure does. Now Showbiz Tonight and More Magazine are teaming up to review the top Hollywood women in film who make over 40 look absolutely fabulous 3 no matter what part they are playing for the camera.

Say hello to 60-year-old Meryl Streep who plays the pompous 4 fashion editor Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.

"You have no style or sense of fashion."

"I think that depends on what you’re…"

"No. No. that wasn’t a question."

And there is no question Streep could easily pass for the real Julia Child in the movie Julie and Julia.

"I’m Julia Child, bon appétit! "

Streep is so good that actress Sigourney Weaver 5 tell Showbiz Tonight, she thinks it is Streep’s best work yet.

"I thought she was absolutely so flooded with life and light and.. just that I thought she was awesome 6."

And so do we. But she is not alone. Let's hear some applause for 51-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer, everybody’s favorite cat woman.

"It’s ok, I have to go home and beat my cat."

Meow, I mean she made black spandex look great. And Pfeiffer looks great in real life too.

"She says she works at it. And she says she works hard at the gym. And she does that almost every single day. "

Working hard is just another day in the life of our next fabulous over 40 star Kate Blanchett. The Oscar-winning actress has even played a man. She channeled singer Bob Dylan in the 2007 movie, I’m Not There.

"Who cares what I think. I’m not the president. This is a story to me…"

And Kate has proven time and time again that she is more than just a pretty face. Remember when she starred in Elizabeth that same year. She shaved her eyebrows 7 and shaved her hair back.

" I, too, can command the wind, sir! I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare  to try me! "

These daring women in films set the bar high and make over 40 look absolutely fabulous, giving women everywhere a reason to celebrate.
