Which bombshells turn 40 this year? Hints: one is a Kardashian, another is a pop icon - and, no, JLO is not on the list (she is in her mid-50s!) By Heidi Parker For Dailymail.com Published: 15:37, 9 June 2024 | Updated: 15:40, 9 June 2024 e-mail 9 shares 1 View comments Many stars are turning 40-years-old this year. It's hard to believe that they have hit this milestone in 2024 as all of them look much younger than their years.

Several Hollywood beauties are working on massive projects and are at the top of their game way past 40 (think Jennifer Lopez, 54, who is in the blockbuster Atlas), which used to mark the end of an actress' career on the silver screen. One example is Joan Crawford who starred in such box office bonanzas as Montana Moon and Our Blushing Brides. By the time she was in her early 30s she was dubbed 'box office poison' and too old to bring in theater goers.



Luckily in 1945 she came out with the massive hit Mildred Pierce, which allowed her to work for many more decades. Ava Gardner did not officially retire from acting, but she appeared in fewer films when she turned 40. That was after her hit films The Killers (1946) and The Barefoot Contessa (1954) came out.

Many of the women on this list are seeing the best time of their lives, like the reality TV star who is on a Hulu show, another is a pop icon who sells out her tours, then there is that pinup blonde Marvel actress. Happy birthday to this group of gorgeous gals who are just getting going. It used to be.
