Sex and the City Movie featuring four women over 40!

Although Sarah Jessica has been voted the least sexy woman (unsexiest woman on the planet) on the planet by Maxim Magazine, I will say that she’s the woman with the best stylists and makeup artists on the planet. Regardless of the fact that some might not find her super-sexy, Sarah Jessica Parker and her posse of three friends — who are all over 40 in real life — will be breaking new ground in 2008. Not since the 1996 hit comedy “First Wives Club,” which featured Bette Midler (51 at the time, born in 1945), Goldie Hawn (51 at the time, born in 1945) and Diane Keaton (50 at the time, born in 1946), have we seen a leading cast of women who were WELL over 35.

Yup, it’s a fact! I’ve heard recently that big suits in Hollywood no longer wanted to cast females over 35-40 in lead roles because they don’t find they could attract an audience that rivals that of their male counterparts over forty, fifty or sixty (basically they are saying actresses over 35-40 are NOT bankable … I wonder what Celebrity Beauty Match Pick Helen Mirren would have to say about that).

“Sex and the City” the movie presents four female leads: Carrie (played by Sarah Jessica Parker 43, born in 1945), Samantha (played by Kim Catrall, 51, born in 1956), Miranda (played by Cynthia Nixon 41, born in 1966), Charlotte (Kristen Davis, 43, born in 1965).

I was a huge fan of the HBO television version of “Sex and the City” and I’m looking forward to seeing the quartet of friends on the big screen. I really hope the movie explodes on the big screen on May 30, 2008 and that loads of GenXers, BabyBoomers and even GenYers (born 1980-1995) flock to the movie. This would certainly send a message to big suits in Hollywood to let them know that women after 35 are VERY bankable and also that women over 35 like to see other women over 35 playing intelligent, challenging and smart roles both on the big and small screen.

If the cosmetic companies have gotten the message that models in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s were very bankable and brought women to their brands because women respect the fact that a brand would feature a woman their own age as opposed to “aging” an 18-year-old to look 38, Hollywood might also get the message.
