From Sarah Jessica Parker and Katie Couric to Maria Shriver, here are 14 women with legs that are ageless, timeless and divine.

I must agree with you.. And she was the one of few women who always wore nylon stockings. Now that shows class.

Thank you, Thomas. I always say that certain outfits do not look “finished” until the proper stockings and shoes are worn. I still argue that a bare legged woman after a certain age does not look good.

I take it your one of those woman ?

Yes, Thomas, when I am dressing in something very special, I make sure the outfit is complete. I enjoy looking “put together”. Of course, if you saw me right now, you wouldn’t believe it; in my own home I love to wear “soft” clothes and, being a good Kentucky girl, no shoes. In the garden, I don’t care how dirty I get.

Thomas(which is my maiden name, incidentally), you have put a Big Smile on my face. Perhaps I will and perhaps I won’t; safety reasons and all of that. Is that your plane in the avatar? I spent many years flying into the Eastern Ky. Appalachians doing medical clinics with my boss, who was a pilot.

BTW, Thomas, if you click on my avatar, I think it will take you to my posts on this site, of which there are many. I am pretty outspoken on the issues.

If you had ever seen Tina Turner in person, moving those 60 year plus legs on stage for two hours, our own “Private Dancer”,, well, she can motivate even those of us of the ‘cottage cheese’ variety to get up and move. She’s “Simply the Best/better than all the rest”. “Proud ‘Tina’ Keeps on Movin’” and she never wears pants, so I know it’s not the ‘jeans’. She’s making a second farewell tour coming up—she’s 68. Peace and grace…….”I Don’t Want to Fight”

Beth, I did see Tina in person.(The Ike and Tina show)……..in 1976 during the Mardi Gras in New Orleans………..Oh my gosh how she could move when she was very young. I love her.

Dona, I saw her with Ike at the Apollo in NYC in 1965! Amazing performance of “Proud Mary.”

Holly Hunter—oh my!

I think Couric, Stahl and Sawyer get the top votes. Amazing that they are all journalists. Everyone had gorgeous legs. What lucky gals. Lesley Ann Warren has great stems as well, too bad no shot of her.

Agree about Tina. Hey, I share a birthday with her! I was so excited when I learned that as a child… Not a SJP fan but I gotta admit I was always jealous of her legs. Ann Coulter? Seriously? I should probably still my tongue but the word “emaciated” comes to my mind, especially when I see her legs. (I get the same reaction to Angelina Jolie’s legs, only she is an otherwise lovely woman…) Where is Lily Tomlin?! If we’re discussing LEGS here, find a picture of “Ernestine” and slap it on this page ASAP.
