Meryl Streep

This week we're loving Meryl Streep for proving that sexiness doesn't have an expiration date. At age 60, the Hollywood veteran stars as the romantic lead opposite 51-year-old Alec Baldwin in the next flirty comedy from director Nancy Meyers, It's Complicated (opening wide Dec. 25.) And the critics approve. She just received two Golden Globes nominations for her 2009 roles in both It's Complicated and Julie & Julia. This double honor means Streep's Globes nominations now total a staggering 25, helping her remain the most-nominated actor in the award's history. Let's see the 20-something rookies in Hollywood compete with that!
