Then and Now

[Smartboy]

Less than two hours ago, I started a thread on this page in celebration of the forty-third birthday of Mindy Cohn. In this post, I told you guys about threads on other pages that I brought to the top in celebratrion of this event. I do this every time a babe that I admire has a birthday past forty. Well, one thing that I have stated on this page as well as a bunch of others in that my favorite older women of all-time is Hazel Shermet. I feel that this statement deserves some explanation. Ever since my mid-twenties, my favorite actress has been Helen Hunt! She will probably be my favorite actress for as long as I live! However, when I first fell for her, she was in her early thirties. The first time that Hazel Shermet made me drool was on "Gimme a Break!" and the year was 1982. I was twelve years old and she was already in her sixties! Helen Hunt however, is in her mid-forties and so she certrainly qualifies as an older babe now. I guess what I am trying to say is that Hazel Shermet is my favorite person who was an older woman when I first started to admire her while Helen Hunt is my favorite person who is an older woman now!
