I've never understood the hype over this woman

I really don't see what everyone else sees in her. I mean don't get me wrong she's not ugly, but there are people on here and in magazines calling her gorgeous or beautiful and I just don't see it. She has an alright face and a nice body but there's nothing that stands out about her that makes me go Oh my God!!!! Even when she was younger she wasn't that great looking like in My Cousin Vinny. When I think of a beautiful older woman I think of Uma Thurman.

No one was bitching about it, it seems you have problem understanding what these posts were about.

She is beautiful. Case closed.

It was always VERY CLEAR to me.

I understand the hype and will be keeping it to myself.

Hype? There is no hype! If you can't appreciate a gorgeous/beautiful woman, just go get your glasses checked. You're probably wearing the wrong prescription.

She is beautiful for her age that's for sure. As someone else commented she has gotten better looking as she has gotten older. Don't see many women my age in that shape and that attractive. Like a fine wine.

Tbone!

She's attractive and sexy, and not in a bland model way. She seems intelligent and has an engaging personality. What more do you require?

Same. Tomei and Kate Beckinsale are neither ugly nor attractive. They don’t have much femininity.

Yeah. Same as Chyna. They were triplets.

Okay, she's not supermodel beautiful, she's always been woman who is good-looking rather than stunning, and with a warm presence that makes her attractive in all sorts of ways, and she's a damn good actress who makes every character she plays seem totally real. If I were a straight man I don't think I'd see her as an unattainable beauty or the stuff of fantasies, but the sort of woman I wanted to be with in real life.

And yeah, she looks effortlessly fantastic for her age, although it probably wasn't actually effortless. Most actresses who look fab for their age spend every spare moment at the dermatologist getting age-defying treatments.
