Catherine the Great

Catherine Deneuve is certainly a movie star and an icon of beauty and Parisian chic. This is not her best work however even though one can't dismiss her as miscast in Madame de Merteuil's role.The fact that every male character in "Liaisons" wants to go to bed with Deneuve's character (the way it's always been in her movies) is just not convincing anymore and it feels quite uncomfortable and rather sad. Soon, seeing her in this sort of part, will feel as uncomfortable as watching Mae West in "Sextette".

In most cases I would agree that seeing a 60+ women being desired by men of all ages to be a bit far-fetched. However, its Catherine Deneuve! Her beauty is unaffected by age because her allure is so much more than just her body and face.

I adore Deneuve but I have to disagree with you.Her beauty is not unaffected by age.
