Women over 50 upstage the youngsters at Golden Globes

It may be difficult for women of a certain age to land good roles in Hollywood, but that certainly didn't stop them from looking incredible at last night's Golden Globe awards. Several over-50 actresses stunned onlookers on the red carpet with their gorgeous looks.

Forty-four years after she sexed up space, Barbarella's still got it. Jane Fonda's body-hugging frock at the Golden Globes Sunday night got the whole of Hollywood hot under the collar. At 74 (!!!), Fonda appears to have found the secret to stopping time. In her form-fitting floor-length leopard print gown by Lebanese designer Jack Guisso, Fonda showed off a figure (without resorting to exposure, this time) to rival Scarlett Johansson's. All that exercising has done a body good! The short frosted hair and drop earrings, not to mention her smoky eyes, made it pop that much more.

Fonda even managed to impress famed ladies' man George Clooney. "Jane Fonda in that dress. My God," he told reporters backstage after winning best actor for "The Descendants." "She looked great, didn't she?" (Mind your elders, Stacey Keibler!)

A close second was Michelle Pfeiffer, who presented "War Horse" in a simple off-the-shoulder navy Jason Wu gown. With no necklace and a whip of curls over her face, the 53-year-old "Cheri" star is still the modern day answer to the Venus de Milo.

Meanwhile, Helen Mirren made Morgan Freeman proud in a diamond belted Badgley Mischka gown. The 66-year-old Brit opted for a rare updo, a welcome change as it showed off her Fred Leighton earrings, not to mention her timeless beauty.

Andie MacDowell upstaged her 22-year-old daughter, Raina Qualley, aka Miss Golden Globe, in a silver David Meister gown that sparkled almost as much as the 53-year-old beauty's side-swept mane. No wonder L'Oreal still has dibs on her hair!

Last but definitely not least, there's Madonna. Though her chest was uncomfortably mashed into her Reem Acra gown, she proved she still has it at 53. Not only did she somehow pull off wearing just one fingerless glove (a nod to Michael Jackson, perhaps?), but she also earned some laughs by mocking Golden Globe host Ricky Gervais.

Take a bow, ladies.

  They all in Hollywood have work done. Sure, why not? Hence, most of them won't admit to it which is silly because 60 years old woman don't look like 40 years old without face lift. Besides, some of them better change their plastic surgeons. Melanie Griffith should ask Jane Fonda for the phone number to her PS.

Bravo for them. And it doesn't have to be "...difficult for women of a certain age to land good roles in Hollywood..." I've got ten scripts - 9 of them are women's stories - I'm talking REALLY good roles for women over 40. If anyone in this town had the intelligence to buy my material, there'd be LOTS of good roles for actresses "of a certain age."

That dress Madonna had on was an absolute rag. It was a disaster! She looked horrible and her arms really are gross. Bet her daughter didn't pick that dress, she likely has better taste and more age appropriate for sure.

only Madonna is showing her age. Then again, she's the only one trying desperately to appear relevant and "cool". The rest are aging with grace and dignity.

  LOL. Are you for real? They all have lots of plastic surgeries and not aging as you are suggesting. Including Madonna who had for sure 2 face lifts and as a matter of fact she looks younger than her 53 or more years. Look around you and see how women her age aging naturally. They look much older...
