You lucky hound!

Sorry, that didn't come out quite right. They were five miles away at my best friend's house, and he didn't call me in time, so I didn't get to meet them. He didn't think to call me until they were getting ready to leave.

It was pretty cool though. His sister worked at NBC studios. Back in those days, we could get backstage passes and have the run of the lot. So we got to explore the sets and see plenty of tv stars. I did make a point of sitting in Johnny Carson's chair. :biggrin: He was still the king of late night back then.

Ok, you want an actress, try this:

Julianne Moore. Scottish blood at it's best.
Really? Attractive yes, but hot?

She's pretty good at Texas Hold 'em.
Here's some evidence that suggests otherwise. :smile: Ivey's reaction is priceless. Patrik's reaction is pretty funny too. I love how everyone including the commentator is completely quiet until Patrik speaks.

She has to be pretty good to be at the table with those guys. Otherwise someone else would be sitting in her spot.

I think she was in because she is a celebrity, she has only won a couple tournies. They obviously made her very nervous, you could see how heavily she was breathing after that jack hit the table. Perhaps one of the drawbacks of lots of cleavage.

My dad is a rabid poker fan, and plays every weekend with a regular crowd. His favorite game is Texas Hold'Em, and he watches it religiously on an ESPN channel. He wins pretty big, for the moderate-stakes games that they play, so the programs might help him gauge his chances. At 84, he's the oldest player in the group by far, but he's still pretty sharp.

I'm always more interested in games on TV that I actually play. I think baseball and football are pretty boring myself. I do enjoy poker and billiards though. Billiards more so, those pro players are amazing.


Oh and Lauren Graham(43) plays poker, though not professionally. She was on Celebrity Poker Showdown a while back.

Rachel Weisz is 40. And very attractive. And talented. She was great in "The Constant Gardener", although her screen-time was limited, IMO.

Mariska Hargitay of tv-show-that-is-on-every-channel-all-around-the-clock fame is rather attractive. I believe she's 43 in this photo.

+1. Multiple points of agreement with you in this thread (+Welch, +Loren, -Kidman). Hmm. Will have to check my coffee for narcotics.

Meh, what you call "interesting" I call "needless drama". :wink: People over 40 can be all about romance and wild times and doing interesting stuff and having great adventures, just minus the angst and gut twisting goofiness of youth. (Hah! That should get some upset commentary from the young people again.)

POF's (people over forty, or even fifty) do have interesting and wild romance. They just wink and keep quiet about it tho. ;-)

Really! I'd rather be involved with Thurman, Bassinger, etc, than the drama-queen pop-tarts like Lindsey, Britney, Paris, etc. When you have no class, you can only be famous for being famous, and you need publicity to keep it up. No class.

Looks like that dog, don't remember his name (Sam?), who was considered the ugliest dog in the world. I think he died a year or two ago.

In just 2 years and 2 months, Cameron Diaz will be 40. I predict she'll top the list.

I see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megyn_Kelly" turned 40 back November. Not an actress, but she is on TV 5/7 and she is in the ballgame. I believe she is pregnant with #2 in this shot:

Sean Connery!

My sister always accuses me of liking "really old guys" :-p, but I think Sean Connery actually looks better older than he did when he was younger.

I won't bother posting a picture of Catherine Zeta-Jones, but she's plenty hot at 40+ and was great with Connery in "Entrapment"

My wife has always swooned over Paul Newman and Jimmy Stewart. Old guys, but eminently talented.

It's a really great two-part episode, perhaps the best. And, yeah, we find out Dr. Cuddy is amazingly well built under her daily clothes.

If a cable channel ran a Jimmy Stewart marathon, my wife would be on it. Rear Window, Vertigo, Liberty Valance... I'd have to take a ride or get out somehow. I love those old movies, but I've practically memorized the lines by now.

lolol I was trying to recall which televangelist he looks like,\...Oral Roberts!
