Hi there, I'm Brooke Anderson. Welcome to the Showbiz Tonight podcast. Now this is where we go inside Hollywood's biggest story. Right now it's the Showbiz's special event Over 40 & Fabulous². Showbiz Tonight has teamed up with More Magazine to name the Top10 women on television who are making over 40 look fabulous. Stars like Felicity Huffman, Sally Field and Brooke Shields are taking Hollywood by storm and making all those stereotypes⁴ about aging disappearing in the thin air. Here's your exclusive look at some of the Top10 women in TV who make over 40 look fabulous.

In Hollywood, the women of TV are really proving the age is just a number.

“Holly¹, your being here at my husband's graveside? That’s  imposition.”
It's true! Showbiz Tonight can tell you women over 40 are now dominating TV from 61-year-old Sally Field on ABC's 'Brothers and Sisters'.

Your sharing a toco with your daughter I can live with.

To 43-year-old Lipstick⁵ Jungle star Brooke Shields.

I don't know I am so just exhausted⁶.

 Today I dropped Taylor off in his kindergarten class. And? He's in first grade.

These women are proving you certainly can have it all, even if they are over 40. And Showbiz Tonight is teaming up with More Magazine to name the Top-10 women on TV who make over 40 look fabulous.

If you are over 40, you are having shows actually crafted for you.

Lesley Jane Seymour, who's the editor-in-chief of More Magazine, tells Showbiz Tonight her readers are cheering over the Fabulous over 40 Sets.

 Let's face it. You know, at a certain point in your life, you are not to be able to get to the movies all the time.

We are all incredibly busy, TV's a lot easier to deal with. And it's wonderful to check in on a weekly basis, and not have to wait, you know, six months or a year to see the people that you really relate to.

And women are relating to one of Showbiz Tonight and More Magazine's Top10 picks -- Brooke Shields.

Showbiz Tonight broke the news to Brooke at the season premiere party for Lipstick Jungle, and Brooke tells us she is ecstatic.
I'm just honored to even be, still be around, you know, I think I, I feel I can finally, believe it or not, coming into my own, physically⁸ and emotionally. And it's taken a while but I'm thankful for the honor.

Shields who has been in the business since she was just a baby is now juggling⁹ two babies and a successful TV career. And her Lipstick Jungle co-star Kim Raver tells Showbiz Tonight Brooke is just fabulous.

She is incredibly intelligent. She is so funny. She is one of the most generous women I know.

70-year-old legendary¹⁰ actress Mary Tyler Moore tells Showbiz Tonight she's been a fan of Brooke’s for years.

She is so good. She makes her comedy so real. It’s down to earth.

She is balancing everything in her home life and doing the exact thing on TV, so it really hits home.

And Brooke has plenty of company. Also smashing right through the ridiculous aging stereotype³ in Hollywood is the Emmy Award winning actress Sally Field who is 61 and also won the Showbiz Tonight and More Magazine's Top10 List of Women on TV making over 40 look fabulous.

I would say that Sally Field definitely must have some painting that's aging somewhere in her house, because it is not showing up on her face.

And another face proving older is better -- 43-year-old Kyra Sedgwick who plays  deputy police chief Brenda Johnson in The Closer.

Listen, I crab¹¹ and know more about fire than you.

Kyra knows a thing or two about stay in power.

She turns in practically an Oscar-worthy performance every single time, and more so than that, she’s just padded out?

 Lynette!

Mieriel, how are you doing?

45-year-old Felicity Huffman is doing just fine, thank you. And also makes the Showbiz Tonight and More Magazine's Top-10 List playing the harried¹² housewife Lynette Scavo on Desperate Housewives.

What's up? You look good.

Felicity Huffman is amazing because, you know, she is the typical frazzled housewife.

And Huffman who was featured on the cover of More September issue is honest about her real life juggles¹³ as a mom with two kids.
In her real life, she will tell you that, you know, children are not everything for her, she needs to have a job and a career.

A running theme for this Fabulous over 40 Sets. Even Oscar-winning 50-year-old star Holly Hunter who became a first time mom to twins when she was 47 is proved that women over 40 can be that fabulous.

Hunter plays the smoking, binge drinking, sexually-charged Oklahoma City police detective, on her hit shows Saving Grace.

Remember she want you as dead, you redneck ass⁷!

And did we mention she can throw quite a punch?

Remember Showbiz Tonight is TV's most provocative¹⁴ entertainment new show! You can always catch Showbiz Tonight on the 11, 11 pm Eastern and Pacific, and in the morning 11:am Eastern. Thanks for watching the Showbiz Tonight podcast, I'm Brooke Anderson.
