Latina actresses in their 60s: 55 Latina And Hispanic Actresses You Should Know In 2022
55 Latina And Hispanic Actresses You Should Know In 2022
christine giordano
This will come as no surprise, but let’s put it out there anyway: Latina and Hispanic actresses have been leaving their mark on Hollywood for decades. Whether you look to Dolores del Río who put Latina actresses on the map with her first roles in 1920s silent films, or breakout star Rachel Zegler in the remake of West Side Story, there’s always been a Latina and/or Hispanic actress leading the way for those who come after them.
And yet Hollywood still hasn’t caught up with the fact that while there are so many talented Latina actors,t hey’re still underrepresented in film and television. Latinx actors held just 7.7 percent of top film acting roles in 2021, according to the 2022 UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report. Angered by the disproportionate amount of Latinx folks in the industry, more than 270 Latinx showrunners, creators, and television and feature writers wrote an open letter to Hollywood in October 2020, calling for systemic change, noting: “We refuse to be filtered through a White perspective.
“
“As we come to the end of Hispanic Heritage Month in the midst of a global pandemic and continued racial injustice, many of us in the Latinx community have found it difficult to celebrate,” the letter began. “Inspired by the activism of the Black and Indigenous communities, many of whom also identify as Latinx, we stand in solidarity with our fellow Black, Native and Indigenous writers, co-signing their WGAW Open Letters and echoing their demands for systemic change in our industry.”
Two years later, while some progress has been made, more work needs to be done to make sure Latinas have equal representation, and support, in Hollywood as their non-Latinx counterparts. As even when Latinx folks get the opportunity to share their stories in Latinx-centered films and TV shows such as Netflix’s One Day at a Time, HBO Max’s Gordita Chronicles, and, more recently, Leslie Grace’s Batgirl, they often lack the championing of Hollywood executives to stay on air for more than a few seasons, or even air at all.
Basically, it’s time to level up. Want to do your part? Get to know the talented Latina and Hispanic actresses who make your (film and television) world go ’round—and make sure to support their next project.

The secret of her youth is healthy sleep (the star goes to bed no later than 9evenings), Mediterranean diet and good mood.
Jane Fonda, 83
Jane Fonda, the creator of aerobics, is a truly unique person. Jane cannot be called a grandmother, because at 83 she boldly wears the tightest dresses, and we cannot but admire her waist. And all this thanks to an active lifestyle – not a day without aerobics, take an example!
Catherine Deneuve, 78
Catherine Deneuve is the epitome of French chic, no matter how old this legendary woman is.
Katrin does not try to look younger than her years, while remaining a very attractive woman with wise eyes. By the way, the actress has been smoking all her life – she is not ready to give up this small weakness even for the sake of beauty.
Irina Allegrova, 69 years old
We also have our own heroes — for example, the singer Irina Allegrova, who hasn’t changed at all for the last 15 years! Irina watches her diet: she eats only fruits, vegetables and seafood. The star completely abandoned meat, because after a certain age it begins to play against the youthfulness of the skin.
Jessica Lange, 72
Actress Jessica Lange at 72 also remains a very attractive woman. Jessica does not try to look younger, she chooses a strict style and lush styling. Lang’s image can really be considered impeccable – that’s what absolute taste means!
Sofia Rotaru, 74 years old
Sofia Rotaru can definitely be proud of how she looks at 74 years old – even Demi Moore could envy this! The singer already has adult grandchildren, and she herself remains a very attractive woman with age.
Obviously, Sofia Mikhailovna regularly visits the beautician, but the star has never gone too far with procedures, unlike her Western colleagues.
Laima Vaikule, 67 years old
Laima Vaikule, a star with an unusual style and sensual voice, only becomes more beautiful with age. Lyme herself says that her appearance is the result of discipline. “I have a clearly scheduled life,” the singer said in one of the interviews, “I try to find time for everything that is most necessary: creativity, a healthy lifestyle, sports. Appearance is of great importance to me!”
Carmen Dell’Orefice, 90
Carmen Dell’Orefice is our role model and role model! The American star is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the fashion model with the longest catwalk career. Carmen is beautiful precisely at her age: refined, with noble gray hair and a mysterious look, she does not hide her age, but is proud of the rich life she has lived.
Christie Brinkley, 67
Christie Brinkley is not just aging gracefully, no. Christy doesn’t know what it’s like to get old! This is perhaps the only example when a woman at 67 years old really looks 40. We already suspected Christie of black magic, but in reality the model simply leads the right lifestyle and thanks genetics.
Susan Sarandon, 75 years old
Gorgeous Susan Sarandon can afford boyfriends 30 years younger, although she herself does not try to deceive nature. Obviously, there’s more to Susan than just firm skin and a flat belly.
Jane Seymour, 70 years old
British actress Jane Seymour at her advanced age has everything that any girl can dream of. Jane has a charming smile, smooth skin, great breasts and a thin waist. We also want to look like this in retirement!
Michel Mercier, 82
Another French diva on our list is actress Michel Mercier, the star of Angelique, Marquise of the Angels and its many sequels.
In her youth, Michelle was an incredible beauty, but with age she did not lose her charm and charm.
Joan Collins, 88
British actress Joan Collins made her film debut 68 years ago! Times and eras change, but Joan is still the same sophisticated beauty. Maybe the secret of her youth is in her turbulent personal life? The star has been married five times, and the fifth husband, Collins, is 32 years younger than her.
Diane Keaton, 75
Diane Keaton looks great for her age, although the actress had very serious health problems. In 2011, the star was diagnosed with skin cancer, which she managed to defeat. At the same time, Diane managed to be the ambassador of L’Oréal and pose on the red carpet.
Sigourney Weaver, 72 years old
Sigourney Weaver does not struggle with the increasing years, but calmly accepts them – this is the secret of the beauty of the actress.
About himself, the star says: “I am not interested in magazines that write about celebrities. They want young actors whose lives are full of events: put on a couple of pounds, lost a couple of pounds, spotted at a resort with this, spotted in the pool with that one. Every day they bring sensations. And it’s boring to write about me: I’m always in shape and married to the same person for many, many years.”
Charlotte Rampling, 75
British actress Charlotte Rampling does not struggle with her age – the star does not have operations, does not give any beauty advice, but simply accepts herself for who she is. It seems to us that Charlotte is the very embodiment of the concept of “aging beautifully”.
Oprah Winfrey, 67 years old
The iron lady in the world of television Oprah Winfrey has already celebrated her 67th birthday. Unexpected, right? During her long career, Oprah alternately lost weight, then gained weight, changed her style and hairstyles, but at the same time she always remained herself – a charming and intelligent TV presenter who knows how to find out any secrets.
Caitlyn Jenner, 72
The last character on our list is Caitlyn Jenner, who has the hardest time looking stunning! And the point is not only in age, but in the fact that until recently Caitlin was a man – former athlete Bruce Jenner. Now, at 72, she finally wears feminine dresses, flowing curls and shoots for magazines in a sexy bodysuit. Isn’t this the true ability to ignore your age?

Sharon Stone, Susan Sarandon, Helen Mirren and other Hollywood divas, which are proud of their age [photo]

On the red carpet, Hollywood stars, even in their seventies, are always perfect – impeccable makeup, evening dresses, jewelry.
And how do they look in ordinary life, without hairstyles and chic outfits? Believe it or not, it’s great too. And it’s not at all about plastic and Botox (although, of course, it can’t do without it). And in the courage of these women. Unlike many of our stars, these beauties are proud of their age and are not afraid to show it on Instagram. Because wrinkles, like life experience, only add charm to them.

Sharon Stone, 63 years old
Sharon is not only smart and beautiful, but also the head of a large friendly family. The actress lives in a spacious home in Beverly Hills with her three sons, an 82-year-old mother, a cat and two dogs. No wonder she sometimes looks slightly sleepy, as in this photo. And although 20-year-old Roen, 15-year-old Laird and 14-year-old Quinn are already adults, boys are boys. They are all adopted: Sharon adopted them at an early age after suffering several miscarriages.

Susan Sarandon, 74
, his peer … But no! Sarandon, as if to spite her ex-husband, had an affair with a guy 31 years younger than herself. They lived together for 6 whole years. Who is next to her today is a secret. However, the other day, Susan admitted in an interview: “It’s hard for me to find older men who could suit me. That’s why I prefer younger guys.”

Michelle Pfeiffer, 62 years old
The actress does not hide: children have always been more important to her than her career. That is why she dropped out of the cinema for many years. But when they grew up (the adopted daughter of Claudia Rose is now 27 years old, her own son John Henry is 26), she returned to the set again.
In 1993, Michelle married screenwriter David Kelly, their marriage is one of the strongest in Hollywood.

Helen Mirren, 75 years old
Helen Mirren (or Elena Mironova, as her real name is) believes that the secret of her youthful appearance is Russian genes. The actress says that she never considered herself a beauty, but she always tried to look good. Helen practices yoga, eats healthy foods and doesn’t drink alcohol at all. Her working days are scheduled by the minute: at 75, Mirren remains one of the most sought-after actresses.

Julianne Moore, 60
The red-haired beauty seemed to have managed to stop time. At the same time, Julianna assures that she does not have any special secrets of youth, and talking about cosmetic procedures makes her bored. The only rule she adheres to is sun protection. Like all red-haired and white-skinned people, she instantly burns, so beach joys are not for her.

Perhaps Julianne still has one secret: her husband, director Bart Freindlich, is 9 years younger than the actress. They have been together for 24 years, of which they have been married for 17 years. The couple have two children – son Caleb and daughter Liv.
