Oh, come ON. You're really going to deny Charlize? You should have picked a far less flattering photo.

As for the other Juliette, he apparently stole her feminine wiles as well. JEE-zus. She looks like Billy Squier.

Yeah, just based on the photos Charlize and Heather Graham are both doing well...

Wait this is so weird I just saw 'my week with Marilyn' and I wa thinking how Juliette binoche looked SO old she had wrinkles tht a 70 yr old would have.... I was legitimately wondering if they put old age makeup on her and now I'm really thinking they must have or you picked the wrong lady! And are you kidding me about Charlize, christina, and heather??!! Heather looks about 28 and shes like 45!

scraaaaaaaaaaatch tht just realized tht it is julia ormond in my week with marilyn whoooops

I, like others, often have quibbles with certain entries on certain lists, but I don't often find fault with the concept of the entire list like I do with this one. In the last three years Johnny Depp has aged about 20, and the man seems to be under the impression that dressing like a Seattle barista who stole Elton John's sunglasses is a good way to retain one's youth. Many of the women on this list, on the other hand, look fantastic in 2011 -- these photos notwithstanding.

I've never found SJP very attractive, so that's basically a wash for me. I think Ricci, Graham, Charlize (!!!), and Juliette Binoche look fantastic, but only Juliette Lewis really looks significantly worse for the wear to me. (I'm not counting the first one since it appears to be a mugshot from her manslaughter arrest :X) Mary Stuart Masterson looks her age, but that's so refreshing -- she's aging WELL and naturally. (I'm sorry, for me she will always be Idgie and I can't help but love her!)

To be fair, I don't love Johnny Depp as much as I used to before the Pirates franchise (blech) and the last few Burton movies, which have been inexplicably bizarre for me -- I normally love Tim and Johnny, and perhaps I just had my hopes set too high, but Alice in Wonderland was enormously disappointing.

P.S. I was curious about their ages so I Googled them, and it looks like Juliette Binoche is actually a few months younger than Johnny.

That has to be the worst photo of Winona Ryder ever taken, she's still very beautiful. I think they all look good, actually. Ricci looks better than she did in her youth and Juliette Lewis has kind of grown on me after I spent years thinking she was one of the homeliest actresses I had ever seen... I see her now and think she looks like someone I'd like to have a beer with because she's just bursting with vitality and joy.

Ageist, sexist, stupid post. People get older. Depp and all the ladies look great. That's what "approaching 50" looks like.

And either hyperlinks are disabled, or I don't know HTML as well as I thought I did. Let's try this again (just as NSFW as before).

I hadn't seen Mary Stuart Masterson for a while. I think she looks great.

Charlize Theron hasn't just aged well, she actually looks better than any of the other women's younger photos.

You chose candids for every other actress' recent photo except Binoche, where you chose an incredibly airbrushed magazine photo. Weird list.

Why didn't you use a picture of what Depp really looks like right now? Which is a gross, nasty, bloated, greasy mess.

Don't you mean James Spader?

Yeah, I don't normally take issue with the entire concept of a post here, but this is kind of stupid. "Aging well" does not mean "not aging." Guess what? People get older! Mary Stuart Masterson has visibly aged in the past twenty years (shocker!) but she looks lovely in her more recent picture. Christina Ricci now looks 30 instead of 18, but she's just as attractive as she was in Sleepy Hollow.

And as others have pointed out: current beauty standards mean that women age less well than men most of the time, because a) we expect them to remain super thin, which means that their faces show age faster than they would if they had more fat on them, and b) wrinkles on a woman are always considered unsightly whereas on men they're frequently seen as hot (see: love for older George Clooney over younger George Clooney, number of people who began to find Leo attractive when he lost the baby face, Harrison Ford in general, etc.).

There there, Charlize, c'mere and let me hug you. Don't you believe what that bad, bad, terrible, BAD man wrote for a second, honey. What does HE know anyway? Does HE get to be the gorgeous queen in a Sleeping Beauty movie? NO! Now now, don't cry, c'mon, kisses make everything better. Mmmm ... mmmm ... There, see? And you know what else makes everything better? A good piledriving fuck.

Yeah, I retract my stupid Juliette Lewis comment - that's just a bad (and badly cropped) photo. She looks great and her music videos are hilarious!

As for SJP... I really hate snarking on celebrities for their looks. I think my distaste for her started with that fucking awful character she played in The Family Stone. It's like a bad taste in my mouth whenever I see her that I can't wash away.

Winona Ryder still looks good to me.

Man I wish she was in more movies.

*and

That picture of Winona was obviously picked because it made her look old - that picture is more than five years old. I saw a picture of her at the SAG awards earlier this year and she still looks 25. Good job on going out of your way to manipulate a response from your readers, Pajiba. So crass and unlike you guys.

All of these woman appear to be aging naturally with minimal if any plastic surgery. They all look great. As for Depp, he hasn't really floated my boat since the second Pirates movie.

Sorry, wrong. I love Juliette Binoche, and she is beautiful and aging gracefully but I saw Charlize Theron in person this past Sunday (Young Adult screening). She was fighting a cold, and in spite of that, still stunning. Plus, WInona will always be amazing and Christina Ricci looks great! Actually they all look pretty great.

This is some bullshit. ALL those women look great to me. Seriously! I will consider myself blessed indeed if I look half as great as any of them when I'm in my 40's or 50's. Sheesh, Rowles. Did ya run this by your wife by any chance? No? Well, that might be why your nuts aren't throbbing right now.

Pajiba, I've been coming here since the '06s but recent posts like this make me like you less and less. This would have never been posted in the Alabama Pink days.

I miss the smart.

Goodbye Pajiba.

I am offended you think that. I wasn't being disrespectful or manipulative towards her memory. I have never before mentioned her name post-humously in a post, so no need to tell me to "stop."

Craig, I miss her too. Was stating that name as a time period was a time in which Pajiba was awesome, the absolute best place for a great/hilarious/thought-provoking conversation on the internet. The articles drove the conversation. I miss those articles and those conversations dearly and have stopped posting in recent years.

This article. Less awesome. Other articles recently, very unawesome. Pajiba is becoming shallow. I am saying goodbye.

I admire Depp for going after mostly risky non-traditional roles and movies, but once I saw Leo act the pants off of him in Gilbert Grape I've kind of been off the Johnny wagon.
Also, he is starting to look like a lesbian.
