Another 15 Famous Hotties Over 45

Turning 45 this summer, Charisma Carpenter is as hot as ever.  First coming into the public eye as Cordelia Chase on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and its spin-off 'Angel'.  After having her first child, Charisma took the chance to show how beautiful a post-pregnancy body can be by posing nude for Playboy.  She has since appeared on various shows like 'Charmed' and 'Blue Bloods', and as Jason Statham's girlfriend in 'The Expendables' series.  Most recently she stripped down again for the '50 Shades of Grey' inspired film 'Bound'.

Another lovely lady I snuck onto the list just shy of being 45, Tina Fey is not only physically beautiful, but her talent as a comedic writer and performer makes her all that more desirable.  SNL's first female head writer made a name for herself behind the 'Weekend Update' desk, later parlaying her experiences at SNL into her own series '30 Rock'.  Never having to strip down to look hot, Fey can rock her trademark glasses better than any famous lady today.

Though Stefani's No Doubt days are behind her, she looks the same as she did belting out 'Don't Speak' and 'Hey Baby'.  Having her first child at the age of 36, Stefani has always been a picture of health and beauty, bouncing back from pregnancy with six-pack abs so quickly it made our heads spin.

Lawrence Fishburn's better half combined beauty and ass kicking as Serenity's First Officer Zoe on Joss Whedon's 'Firefly'.  After the show's cancellation, Torres was brought into the 4th season of 'Angel' as the season's big bad, the beautiful and commanding Jasmine.  Since then Torres reprised her role as Zoe in film 'Serenity', and popped up in the final two 'Matrix' films.  Recently she's appeared as a regular in the USA Network series 'Suits', still being gorgeous and kicking ass, this time in the courtroom.

Former 'JAG' cast member and Stuff Magazine cover girl Catherine Bell has switched to New Age medicine in the Hallmark 'Good Witch' film series.  After 206 episodes of 'JAG' and seven films as the Good Witch, Bell has brought her beauty back to regular series television in the Hallmark series 'The Good Witch', continuing where the films left off.

Playing Emily Prentiss for 126 episodes on 'Criminal Minds', the beautiful Paget Brewster first showed up on our radar as the woman who came between Joey and Chandler on 'Friends'.  Since leaving 'Criminal Minds' for the second time, Brewster has kept busy with guest spots on various shows, regular voice work, and will be going back to her sitcom roots with the role of Frankie Dart in the new season of 'Community'.

The hot mom down the street on 'The Gilmore Girls', Lauren Graham has always been beautiful but probably hit her naughty peak in 2003's 'Bad Santa'.  Playing the sexy bartender Sue with a strange Santa fetish, that movie was one of the few times guys have actually wanted to be Billy Bob Thornton.

Tim Burton's former better half is living proof that batsh*t crazy can be damn hot.  Carter's vast resume ranges from the bride of Frankenstein, an uncomfortably attractive ape, a psychotic witch, the poor mother of a son with a chocolate addition, and a cook who substitutes murdered bodies for beef.  But her most beloved role, and kinkiest, is the strange Marla in 'Fight Club' who was so taken by Tyler she wanted to have his abortion.

Proof that you don't need to be talented to be hot.  Ok, that was a bit harsh.  Halle Berry may be an Oscar winner, but her other work has rarely, if ever, lived up to her winning performance.  But with a body like her's, that doesn't really matter.  Can anyone say they went to see her topless debut film 'Swordfish' for the quality acting?

Working since 1994, Kristen Bauer van Straten hit a strong rise in popularity as Eric's progeny Pam on 'True Blood'.  Straten holds the distinction on the show of being damn hot and one of the few regular females to not go full nude.  Since the finale of 'True Blood', Straten has kept her villainous attitude, just switched to Disney, taking up the live-action role of Maleficent on ABC's 'Once Upon a Time'.

Nearly a half-century old and looks as good as the day she hit the big screen with Wil Smith and Martin Lawrence in 'Bad Boys'.  Since then Leoni has had a string of notable films and her own series, returning to television as the title character in the political show 'Madam Secretary'.  Recently divorced from David Duchovny, it makes one wonder how a sex addict couldn't get his fill from a hottie like this.

John Stamos, the man who made the whole world jealous by marrying Rebecca Romijn, calls Lori Loughlin "the one that got away", and can you blame him?  As the beautiful Aunt Becky on 'Full House', Loughlin made that show worth watching after it jumped the shark.  Loughlin has bounced from show-to-show since 'Full House' left television, with her most regular stint on the rebooted '90210', and now working on the series 'When Calls the Heart'.

The lovely Andie MacDowell first got our attention with the terrifically titled 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape'.  After that she had a string of wholesome parts in films like 'Multiplicity', 'Michael', and 'Groundhog's Day'.  A former cosmetics spokesperson, the 57-year-old MacDowell, who has by far my favorite picture in this post, will next be on the big screen in 'Magic Mike XXL', and I can only imagine what she's going to do.

6 feet of true beauty, Geena Davis is not only an Academy Award winning actress, she's also a badass with a bow and arrow, nearly making the 1996 Olympic Archery team.  After movies like 'The Fly', 'Beetlejuice', and 'Earth Girls are Easy', Davis went action hero in 1996 as the sexy bleach blonde assassin turned suburban housewife in 'The Long Kiss Goodnight'.

Former model turned actress Rene Russo has a smaller film resume than others on this list, but has a better ratio of good movies to not with hits like 'Lethal Weapon 3', 'Ransom', 'Major League', and 'Outbreak' just to name a few.  One of her more talked about roles was in 1999, playing opposite Pierce Brosnan in 'The Thomas Crown Affair', shocking audiences with stunning nude scenes at the age of 45.  Recently, Russo ventured into comic book movies, playing Thor's mother Frigga in the Marvel Thor films.  Though it wasn't supposed to be her first comic book film, being originally cast as Dr. Chase Meridian in 'Batman Forever'.  However, Russo's part was recast with Nicole Kidman after Michael Keaton left the project and she was deemed too old to play Val Kilmer's love interest.  Wow, did they screw up there.
