As we discovered when compiling our Harrison Ford-inspired "GILFy Pleasures" gallery ("GILF" as in "Grandparent I’d Like to…"), there are a lot of still-sexy stars over 50. So many, in fact, that we probably left off some of your favorites. One of mine that we neglected to include: Jacqueline Bisset (pictured), who went from rocking the wet T-shirt in The Deep to rocking Andrew McCarthy’s world as a Mrs. Robinson type in Class in just six years, and who, in the quarter century since, has frequently proved she belongs on a list like this (most recently, during her multi-episode arc as call girl madam James on Nip/Tuck). Click through the gallery, then tell us: which other actor or actress we left off our list would you have included?

i was about to yell and protest over diane lane being omitted (possibly one of the most beautiful women alive) but then i realized she’s 43. haha oops. and on the other side, daddy bass from gossip girl. but nope, he’s 48. dammit!
Gary Oldman turned fifty this year. I’m just sayin’…
Sting – for sure.
Why not go for FILF (Fossil I’d Like to…) it’s genderless and actually sort of makes sense Mmmmmmm! FILF!
If you’re going to include Mary McDonnell, then you must also mention her BSG counterpart, Edward James Olmos. The way he looks at her — and that husky voice of his — wow.
My girlfriend always makes fun of me for being attracted to much older women. I’m sure I’m forgetting quite a few that I like, but a few jumped out at me right away.
Not only did she bring “Desperate Housewives” back, but I think Dana Delaney is looking mighty fine at 52.
I said it before, and I’ll say it again: I can’t believe Karen Allen looks as beautiful today at 56, as she did in “Raiders of the Lost Ark”.
Also, I’ve always randomly had things for Sigourney Weaver and Rita Moreno.
Richard Gere.
Jimmy Smits.
Mark Harmon.
My favorite older male actors are both Lord of the Rings guys. Viggo Mortensen is 50 in October and Sean Bean is oh so close at 49. Who needs Orlando Bloom when you have these two manly men!
Mark Harmon, definitely.
Tim Daly- the only reason to watch Private Practice.
Julie Christie.
Paul Newman- can’t have Redford without Newman!
I am going way old school, and cheat a little. Barbara Eden (aka Jeannie). My first adoloescent fantasy. Not someone literally who fits the bill as GILF (74, now that is just unseemly) but still looks mighty fine. I tuned into the Jeannie TV sequel back in the 80’s, and Barbara looked fantastic filling out the genie costume.
I can’t believe you left Tom Selleck off your list. I knew this teacher who was obsessed with him and I never got it until I saw Friends.
Where are those blues eyes, that raspy voice, and general all-around hotness of Paul Newman? Not on the list, For Shame!
Creed Bratton. He’s not really a GILF, but he might be a Grandparent I’d Like to Hang Out With All the Time (GILTHOWATT?).
My wife would have a fit if she read this list and saw that Iman got a whole entry while David Bowie got only a passing mention. I mean, good call on Iman and all, but if I could look as good as Bowie when I get to be his age, I’d be ecstatic.
How could you have forgotten Clint Eastwood!? Not only has he gotten more handsome over the years but more talented too. Those baby blue eyes, the gravely voice, the weathered with age and wisdom face and he’s a genius too. Shame on you!
I second Viggo, who’s 50 this October. I’d like to add …
Liam Neeson! He was phenomenally sexy in Love, Actually. Speaking of which …
Alan Rickman! Will always be sexy.
John Glover in Smallville was Luthor sexy.
Daniel Day-Lewis, please and thank you
Jacklyn Smith, Angelica Houston, and Sally Field should totally be added to that list.
Mark Harmon!
I was shocked that Alan Rickman wasn’t on the list.
Alan Rickman, for sure. William Petersen should definitely be added. He does more with his eyes than most men do with the whole face!
Alan Rickman. I lust after that man in the worst way.
The hotness that is Tim Daly. Do you remember that kiss he gave Addison in the stairwell? My knees buckled! Sela Ward. Still can’t believe 007 turned her down years ago saying she was too old.
I second Sting and Alan Rickman. I’d have to check the ages, but how about Chris Noth and Alec Baldwin?
why no love for arrested development’s jessica walter?? she looks AMAZING for her age, and is hystericaly funny!
i can’t believe alan rickman was left off that list. i’m about forty years younger than him and i think he’s mighty fine.
and i’ve always had a soft spot for tommy lee jones.
ellen barkin was looking amazing in Ocean’s. props for putting her on there.
My first thought this morning when I looked at the list was . . . what, no Burt Reynolds? Despite whatever cosmetic enhancements he is rumoured to have dabbled in, he still oozes sex appeal
I can’t tell you how utterly thrilled I was when I saw that headline this morning. I really dislike the “youth” obsessed culture we live in, and find it so refreshing to celebrate the awesomeness that is the over 50 crowd (a disgustingly overlooked demo., imho). Mind you, I am in my 20s, and I love Sting, nonetheless.
umm how can you forget Gary Sinise?! He’s 53 and the hottest of any of the CSI guys.
