Cameron Diaz – Charlie’s Angels

After being named as the highest-paid Hollywood actress over 40 in 2013, it’s safe to say that Cameron Diaz has still got it going. The “Charlie’s Angels” star doesn’t have to follow fancy routines to maintain her beauty—she simply lives very healthily and prioritizes her sleep.

Lindsay Lohan – Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

Lindsay Lohan has come a long way since she was a teen idol. From starring in “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen” to reviving her career after a series of complications, she’s clearly had an adventure.

Michelle Monaghan – Mission Impossible

Michelle Monaghan starred in her third Mission Impossible in 2018, and fans couldn’t help asking the question, “how does she manage to look so ageless and pretty?” Granted, hours-long makeovers are applied to make actresses look their best before they appear on set, but that doesn’t take anything away from Monaghan’s natural radiance.
