I had no idea how well this series of Hubs would be received.
Here we are all the way up to number five.
This time we have actresses that have appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Fantasy Island, CHips and have still been nominated (and in some cases won) Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
And yes, all of these women are over forty.

Ashley Judd was born on April 19th, 1968 in Granada Hills, California, U.S.
Although her mother is Naomi Judd and with Ashley's half-sister Wynonna, they formed the singing duo known as The Judds, Ashley didn’t go into music, but into acting.
She made her acting debut in 1991 on the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation as Ensign Robin Lefler in the episodes "Darmok" (remember "Shaka, when the walls fell."?) and "The Game".
Ashley went on from there to appear in over thirty films and TV shows including Frida, Where the Heart Is, Double Jeopardy and Kiss the Girls.

Michelle Pfeiffer
Michelle Pfeiffer was born on April 29, 1958 in Santa Ana, California.
She made her acting debut in 1978 on an episode of Fantasy Island entitled "The Island of Lost Women/The Flight of Great Yellow Bird" as Athena.
Michelle followed that up with more TV appearances on Delta House, The Solitary Man, CHips, Enos (wow) and B.A.D. Cats.
She made her big screen debut in 1980 comedy The Hollywood Knights.
From such humble beginnings, Michelle went on to appear in over fifty TV shows and movies, and so far has been nominated for three Academy Awards, won a Golden Globe, a BAFTA Award, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
She's been on People's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" list a record six times, and was on the cover of the very first issue.

Gong Li
Gong Li was born on December 31, 1965 in Shenyang, China.
She made her acting debut in the 1987 Chinese film, Red Sorghum and went on to appear in over thirty films.
This five foot seven beauty has been nominated for, and won many acting awards including the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1993.
That award has been won by actresses like Penélope Cruz, Helen Mirren, Ellen Burstyn and Meryl Streep just to name a few.
Here in the US, you may have seen her in Hannibal Rising (2007) as Lady Murasaki, Miami Vice (2006) as Isabella or Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) as Hatsumomo.

Diane Lane
Diane Lane was born on January 22, 1965 in New York City, New York.
She got an early start in acting, appearing in a production of Medea at the La MaMa Experimental Theater Club in New York at the age of six.
Yes six.
At the age of twelve, she appeared in Joseph Papp's production of The Cherry Orchard with Meryl Streep.
She made her film acting debut at the age of thirteen in the 1979 romantic comedy film, A Little Romance.
Diane has gone on to appear in over fifty films, and has been nominated for Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
All this and I remember her best as Ellen Aim in Streets of Fire....

Julianne Moore
Julianne Moore was born on December 3, 1960 in Fayetteville, North Carolina (my old home state).
She made her acting debut on the old CBS soap, The Edge of Night.
Julianne went from there to another soap, As the World Turns, where she played the dual roles of Frannie Hughes and Sabrina Hughes from 1985 to 1988.
That role won her a Daytime Emmy Award.
In 1987 she appeared in the TV mini-series I'll Take Manhattan (based on the Judith Krantz novel of the same name) and has appeared in over sixty TV shows and movies.
Although she got knocked by critics in Hannibal (2001) for portraying Clarice Starling, I liked her in Evolution (2001) as the less than graceful Allison Reed.
Don't think she's a lightweight though, Julianne racked up a whole slew of award nominations for her roles in Far from Heaven, The Hours, Magnolia, Boogie Nights and The End of the Affair.

Jennifer Beals
Her exotic looks come from her African-American father and her Irish American mother.
Of course my generation knows her best as Alexandra "Alex" Owens in the 1983 film Flashdance, but she's gained quite a bit of fame as Bette Porter on the Showtime series The L Word.
I also know her as Cal Lightman's ex-wife, Zoe Landau on the Fox TV series Lie to Me (which if you are not watching you should be).
Jennifer has had a very prolific career, appearing in over sixty TV shows and films since her debut in the 1980 film My Bodyguard.
And you know, in some shots, I think she looks better now than she did in Flashdance.
