7 Sexy Female Stars Over 60
Jane Seymour is one of a group of Hollywood women getting better with age.
Jan. 7, 2014— -- intro: Jane Seymour proves age is just a number.
The 62-year-old put to rest any rumors that her recent bikini pose on the cover of Closer Weekly was Photoshopped when she donned another two-piece during a family vacation in Hawaii last week.
The former Bond Girl and mother of four flaunted a figure of a woman half her age as she showed off her 5-foot-3-inch, 115 pound frame in a blue snakeskin-print bikini.

"God, I'm in better shape now in some ways than I was when I was doing the [1973] Bond film ['Live and Let Die']," Seymour told Closer.
Seymour is one of a group of Hollywood women in their 60s who seem to get better with age. They defy Tinseltown's pressure to stay young-looking by aging gracefully -- letting their wrinkles hang out while maintaining healthful habits and embracing the passage of time.
While admitting to a "minor" eye-lift and Botox injections in the past, Seymour told Closer she now prefers to keep things natural.
"I tried [Botox] and hated it. I'd never do it again," Seymour said. "For me, it doesn't work because I'm an actor and I need to be able to move every part of my face."

"I think I'm being hired a lot because I haven't done all the stuff everyone else is doing," the British actress told the magazine.
She has no diet restrictions but keeps portions small, drinks lots of water, does tri-weekly gym sessions, plays tennis and golf and gets plenty of sleep.
Turning 63 next month, Seymour describes being in her 60s as "pure joy."

quicklist: title: Meryl Streeptext: Seen here in the same dress she wore in 1979, it would appear Meryl Streep has hardly aged at all. Perhaps her secret is doing what she loves. The multiple-Oscar-winning actress has continued to play a leading lady at 64, defying Hollywood's conventional wisdom that there are no good roles for women over 40. "I'm 60, and I'm playing the romantic lead! Bette Davis is rolling over in her grave!" she joked to Vanity Fair in 2009, when she starred as both Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin's love interest in "It's Complicated." Then, at 62, Streep appeared for the first time on the cover of Vogue, declaring herself the "oldest person" to do so.media: 21440244
quicklist:title: Susan Sarandontext: For Susan Sarandon, 67, her secret to aging could well be having a relationship with a younger man. Following her surprising split in 2009 with longtime partner Tim Robbins, who is 12 years her junior and with whom she has two children, Sarandon began seeing her much younger business partner, Jonathan Bricklin, 36. After two years of rumors, Sarandon finally confirmed her relationship with Bricklin in March 2012. But it's not just Bricklin's youth keeping Sarandon ageless. His New York nightclub, SPiN, with 17 Ping-Pong tables, also helps to keep her in shape. media: 21440178

"I feel much more alive," the actress, who also models for L'Oreal anti-aging beauty products, told More in 2006. "When you're younger, you have a tendency to be relieved by fantasies. But now the drama of real life comes charging in."media: 21440473
quicklist: title: Helen Mirrentext: In 2011 British actress and Oscar winner Helen Mirren was 66 when she beat out Jennifer Lopez, Pippa Middleton and Elle "The Body" MacPherson in the L.A. Fitness poll on the female celebrity with the best body. The image of Mirren in a red bikini while vacationing with her husband in Italy at age 63 is not one we will soon forget. But, for Mirren, now 68, a healthy dose of humor could well be the key to aging gracefully. The actress revealed to the women of "The View" that she sucked in her stomach the day she accepted her award from L.A. Fitness. "It was a beautiful thing that these fitness people did, I have to say," she said. "I think it was recognition of the fact that you don't have to be perfect."media: 21440322

"I went under general anesthetic, and the music started right after that," she told CBS News.
