Some celebrities seem to grow more attractive with every passing year, aging as gracefully as a fine wine.
We mere mortals are left in awe of their seemingly timeless beauty. If only the rest of us were blessed with such luck!
Gillian Anderson – The X-Files (1993)
When Gillian Anderson took on one of her most career-defining roles in 1993, her success was arguably due to the popularity of The X-Files, not because of her traditional good looks. Anderson quickly became a household name—alongside David Duchovny—as The X-Filescaptured the imagination of audiences across the country.

Reese Witherspoon – Legally Blonde (2001)
A young Witherspoon made her first theatrical appearance in The Man in the Moon and with each subsequent role, it was clear she was born from the Tree of Life. As the fetching Elle Wood in Legally Blonde, she turned heads both for her stunning looks and wonderful performance.
