Bolder and sexier than ever, 51-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer shoots straight on aging.
By Johanna Schneller
“Really, the only bad thing about turning 50 was the anticipation. Once you turn 50, you feel grateful you made it. The overriding, positive thing about turning 50, is that you go from ‘You don’t look your age’ to ‘You look pretty darn good for your age.’ There’s this tremendous pressure off—you deserve to have a wrinkle, you deserve to have a little pooch on your tummy.”
“I’m not saying I’m sexier to other people. But part of feeling sexy is feeling comfortable in your own skin, and less inhibited, and that goes along with getting older. Feeling more confident, dropping a lot of the BS.”
“Well, I think your face should still move. And you should be recognizable to your friends. One actress I knew years ago, a really lovely person, had some stuff done, and literally, every time I run into her now I don’t recognize her. Every time!”
“When I was first starting out, I was a little sensitive about it because I hadn’t really proven myself. I was careful to not wear a lot of makeup; I’d show up for interviews in men’s clothing. It took about eight years for me to feel it was OK to look my nicest. To think, I’m just going to enjoy this. And now, the older I get, the more I like hearing it.”
“It was a progression. Paul [Rudd] is 11 years younger. With Ashton [Kutcher, 20 years younger], I thought, I’m never going younger than this again. Then Stephen [Frears] called with Rupert [Friend, 24 years younger], and I thought, Oh my god. But at my age you either play the insane mother-in-law, the wife of the leading man, or the older woman. So of the three, it’s the most interesting choice. It helps if you have a sense of humor about it. Fortunately, all three men are really smart and really funny. And really cute.”
“Can you imagine, for 20 years, trying to stay mysterious in your relationship? That’s the worst advice I’ve ever heard. Of all the people in your life you don’t want to hide from, it’s your partner. One of the reasons my marriage is successful, I think, is that we are completely comfortable around each other and don’t feel the need to hide aspects of ourselves.”
“I so hate that term! Men are sugar daddies and women are cougars? Men are strong and women are bitches?”
Michelle shares her insight on keeping mystery in her relationship. How are you mysterious with your partner?What do you do to keep it hot?
Have a fantastic week gals, and remember that it is up to us to look and feel good.
Great piece Yana

Great article, I loved the part about mystery in a relationship. Thanks for sharing!
hugs, p
Fantastic article! Thanks Yana. I have always loved Michelle Pfeiffer. She is one of the true beauties in the world of acting.
I’m with her on not being mysterious with your husband. My husband is one of 2 or 3 I am completely myself with...no hiding, at all!
Thanks Yana,, I can’t agree more with Michelle. If you can’t be yourself with your mate, then what have you really got?
This girl never ages—still a beauty. I’ve always liked her as an actress and a person. Thanks for sharing the article - she proves you don’t necessarily have to just get older; you can get older and still be fantastic in so many ways. She proves you don’t need anything artificial and be so comfortable with who you are and how you look.
Mystery in a relationship is very important, especially when you’ve been together for a long time and things have become a bit familiar. My latest article on my own (external) blog goes into a bit more detail.
Thanks for a wonderful article.
'You look pretty darn good for your age.'
I’m already hearing this phrase in my 40’s so I guess in my 50’s I’ll go for “looking nice” and love it.

“I can make it happen” It is whatever it is at the moment.
I loved reading this, thank you for sharing/posting it. Ms. Pheiffer has always been a favorite of mine.
Hi Yana,
Thanks for sharing this article. I have admired Michelle for a long time!
I am 56 and feel better than at any other time of my life. Love looks different than I thought it would and sex is way different than I thought it would be at my age.
My marriage is still new and precious to me. I love how intent my hubby and I are on keeping our connection real and fun.
Love your posts!

Fantasic article & FABULOUS Lady that Michelle... I’ve always loved her touch of class that she adds to anything... she’s adorable & 51??? WOW!! I hope I’m as lucky... it’s just right around the corner!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
*She Flies Without Wings*
Great article! Her comments were real, honest, and funny. I think every movie star in hollywood has an advantage over the average woman; I mean, c‘mon! They have access to all sorts of goodies: facials, spa treatments, housecleaners, nannies,....you name it! The rest of us poor mortals have to struggle cleaning our homes, juggling work, kids, etc, without help! I’m not saying that she doesn’t do any of these things herself, but if I had the money, I would sure as heck pay someone to do the dirty work!!!! lol
Michelle totally rocks. She was discovered in a grocery store in Southern California.
She manages herself well. She is also married to a powerhouse, David Kelly...pressure!
I think she does not take herself so seriously and keeps
ego in check. I feel she is an approachable actress.
Great article. I am going to check out InStyle!
I totally agree with her about being a cougar. That is
okay, it makes us wiser and stronger for a come back!
