I have always found Madeline Stowe to be quite beautiful. When I first saw her two decades ago in the movie, Last of the Mohicans, her porcelain features captivated me. Since then, her beauty has not diminished, even though she is now 53. I recently saw her on a talk show, and she is indeed still quite lovely.

Once again we see that if someone takes care of themselves, they can remain healthy and attractive well into the later part of their lives. I have always found a grown woman, someone well into her twenties or thirties, to be much more attractive than their younger counterparts. To the mindless, bubble headed and silly younger party girls who enjoy the constant attention of countless boys, and feed off the sense of power you have because of that, understand that a woman who has both a mature mind and well rounded personality and physical beauty is an infinitely more attractive creature than you. When you wake up from your beer pong induced hangeovers, you are actually quite unattractive and unappealing.

So here is another tribute to the woman over forty, and even fifty, who is still beautiful. For those women out there who think your life is over after thirty and that your beauty and attractiveness will precipitously fade, Madeline Stowe is proof that does not have to be the case. Just take care of yourself, in both mind, body and spirit, and you will continue to have a full life.
