We are sorry for the three day hiatus from the countdown. For reasons beyond our control (e.g. Comcast sucking it), we didn't have reliable internet for the entire weekend. We sincerely hope that all our Catholic readers have managed to maintain the sacrifices they are making for Lent despite our transgressions. Your devotion to your faith is certainly stronger than our devotion to women over 40. For that, we salute you.
#30. Natasha Richardson, 42
Whoever said British people were ugly....were actually right. But we take umbrage with the statement that all British people are ugly since we have on our list three English women. Well, three out of forty isn't much, but if Princess Di were alive, there'd be four and 10% of a list isn't too shabby. Oh, and we apologize for the irreverent Princess Di remark. As a previous
entry proved, we sort of have a fetish for her.
Anyhow, Natasha Richardson starred in one of our favorite movies ever, The Parent Trap. The Disney remake has everything we could ever want in a movie: twins, separation at birth, summer camp antics, an evil stepmother character, British accents, the Quaidinator, and gratuitous use of the song "Everlasting Love." Admittedly, that movie was released when she was 35, but we couldn't resist since she still looks pretty hot in The White Countess, and we can't say anything about that one since we have never seen it nor plan to see it in the forseeable future.
