At the moment, Salma has earned more than enough awards and nominations to last a lifetime and has even transitioned to movie production, where she’s also shown great skill and expertise. Above all, the gorgeous mother of one is recognized as one of the most influential Latina actresses and one of the most beautiful women in the world – could be the Mexican-American mix in her genes.

Lisa Whelchel gained immense fame portraying Blair Warner for over nine years on the beloved sitcom, The Facts of Life, making her a household name. However, following her successful run on the show, Whelchel took an unexpected departure from acting. Today, she primarily wears the hat of an author, with a diverse range of books covering topics like motherhood, friendships, and homeschooling.
Like many celebrities, Whelchel maintains her stunning appearance through disciplined eating and exercise routines, even though she openly admits not enjoying it. During an appearance on the television show, The Doctors, she confessed, “I’ve done it just to stay healthy. I don’t enjoy it,” demonstrating her commitment to well-being despite personal preferences.
Catherine Bach | 1954
For someone who has been in the entertainment industry since 1973, Catherine Bach sure doesn’t age. While the actress began her showbiz career when she was a child, her big break came when she starred in ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ series, which put her on the Hollywood map.

Since then, Bach has enjoyed massive success in the film business, with several acting credits to her name, including ‘African Skies’ and ‘The Young and the Restless’ soap opera. Despite being in her 60s, the performer is still giving the young people a run for their money both with her professionalism and ageless beauty.
Cassandra Peterson | 1951

The star has starred in numerous films and television shows, with her performances earning her rave reviews from critics and fans alike.

Now in her 70s, Peterson doesn’t look like slowing down or retiring anytime soon and is still active in the motion picture business. When she’s not on set in a scary costume, the singer jots down her thoughts on paper, with several books in her bibliography or belting out tunes in the studio, having released a couple of Halloween albums.
Erika Eleniak | 1969
If anyone has blown our minds over and over with their beauty and unmatched talent, that’d be American actress and former model Erika Maya Eleniak. The ‘Playboy’ Playmate is not only beautiful inside out, we also love that she has been around from the early ’80s to share her magic with us.

Erika is best known for portraying Shauni McClain in the popular action drama ‘Baywatch.’ Some of her other appearances have been on the reality shows ‘The Real Gilligan’s Island’ and ‘Celebrity Fit Club,’ and the thriller ‘Snowbound,’ which have only soldered her name on the lips of her fans and other film lovers.
Kristy McNichol | 1962
Her presence in the entertainment industry and specifically the film space may have been shorter than that of most actors, but Christina Ann McNichol no doubt left her mark—an indelible one. The former actress, singer, and comedian, who is best known for her role as Angel in the 1980 American teen comedy-drama ‘Little Darlings,’ is now in her late 50s and shows every sign of aging beautifully.

Christina also played Polly in ‘Only When I Laugh,’ Barbara in the sitcom ‘Empty Nest,’ and Letitia Lawrence in ‘Family.’ For the latter, she won two ‘Emmy’ Awards, which is confirmation that the star never once rode on a stroke of luck where her acting career is concerned.
Princess Caroline | 1957

What’s more, Jennifer competed in season eleven of ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ which she went on to win together with a partner Derek Hough. In her 60s, the ‘Red Dawn’ actress looks stunning despite all the challenges she came across over time.
Pauley Perrette | 1969
You might remember this particular star from the popular show ‘NCIS,’ where she portrayed the role of Abbey Scuito from 2003 to 2018. If you are a fan of the show, you know we are talking about the iconic Pauley Perrette. Interestingly, the American actress graduated with a master’s in criminal science before pursuing a career in entertainment.

Besides acting, Pauley is a singer and a poet, with some of her scores featuring in films like ‘Legally Blonde.’ Having retired from acting, the beautiful natural blonde is focusing her energies on numerous charity organizations and her bakeshop located in Manhattan.

In addition, the stunning star is the climate ambassador for Greenpeace’s sign-on campaign, committed to protecting the environment.
Lisa Bonet | 1967
Lisa Bonet has always been daring with her looks, and that’s why the actress was a fashion sensation in her heydays in the ’80s and ’90s. It looked like each decade marked a new fashion era for Lisa, who was famous for coiled bangs and voluminous ringlets in the ’80s, and her waist-length locs and outstanding makeup in the ’90s.

Much more than Lisa’s bold styles, the American star was also popular for starring in films like ‘Angel Heart’ and ‘High Fidelity.’ From sitcoms to action thrillers, the mother of three has perfectly portrayed several characters. No wonder she’s won different awards and nominations.
Salma Hayek | 1966
When you hear “brilliant and beautiful,” the first name that should come to your mind is Salma Hayek, and why not? Known for her acting prowess, the Latina actress kickstarted her acting career in Mexico, and it was only a matter of time before the ‘Desperado’ star became a famous name in Hollywood.

At the moment, Salma has earned more than enough awards and nominations to last a lifetime and has even transitioned to movie production, where she’s also shown great skill and expertise. Above all, the gorgeous mother of one is recognized as one of the most influential Latina actresses and one of the most beautiful women in the world – could be the Mexican-American mix in her genes.
Goldie Hawn | 1945
Even in her seventies, Goldie Hawn is still famous for her superb acting skills and her professional portrayal of several characters. A little backstory would show you that the American actress has been at this game for over three decades, bagging several notable awards and nominations along the way.

Although the ‘Cactus Flower’ star took a hiatus from the screens for over 15 years, she came back with a bang with movies like ‘Snatched’ and ‘The Christmas Chronicles.’ Meanwhile, the beautiful Hawn wasn’t sitting back and sipping wine while she was away. The thespian founded the ‘Hawn Foundation’ during her break to support young people.
Heather Locklear | 1961
If there’s one thing we know about Heather Locklear, it’s how she has a history of starring in successful series, such as ‘Melrose Place’ which earned her four ‘Golden Globe’ nominations in succession, and ‘Dynasty.’ But before you think it’s all series for this successful actress, let’s also mention that Heather has also had a fair share of roles in films like ‘Firestarter’ and ‘The Perfect Man.’

It’s definitely been a long time coming for the award-winning actress, who started out as a model while at UCLA. With several awards under her belt and a long list of movies in her archive, who’s to say that the American performer isn’t successful?
Victoria Principal | 1950
Victoria Principal is a bunch of talents—end of story! When you look at the fact that she’s not only an actress but also a producer, author, and entrepreneur, you’d agree with us that this is one woman who can conveniently handle several activities simultaneously.

After starring in different movies, Victoria established her production company and became a full-blown movie producer and director. Not long after, the ‘Dallas’ performer created a line of skincare products. While achieving all these milestones, the actress was writing and publishing books. There’s no doubt that this is one hardworking woman, and with so much to handle, you can almost hear the wheels turning in her pretty head.
Melissa Sue Anderson | 1962
Most of us don’t know what we want to do for a living until we are old enough, but Melissa Sue Anderson had her big break when she was only ten years old. The year was 1972 when the actress landed a small-time role in the ‘Bewitched’ television series, and soon she became a mainstay name in showbiz, appearing in films and commercials.

After five decades in Hollywood, Melissa is still going strong, wowing the masses with her riveting performances, and has built an impressive portfolio, making millions of money while at it. To be on top of her game after all those years is no mean feat, and to do it while looking stunning, is admirable.
Loni Anderson | 1945
‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ star Loni Anderson rose to fame after delivering fantastic, award-winning performances in the series, but that was not her first television appearance. The acclaimed actress made her Hollywood debut in 1966 on ‘Nevada Smith,’ and while the film had rave reviews, the star was unable to get another acting gig for close to a decade.

Still, that didn’t deter Loni from pursuing her dreams, and soon, she became one of the most sought-after performers of her generation, with numerous blockbuster credits to her name. While her most recent role was in the ‘My Sister Is So G*y’ show in 2018, we doubt it will be the last we’ll see of the legend.
