Hey...that's some good acting ability right there!

MMMMMmmmmm…ary Steenburgen.  That’s right!  Looks like in time travel month, the MILFs are holding their own!  Mary Steenburgen gets a double bill, however, for starring in my personal favorite time travel film…but, she was also in Back to the Future III.  If that’s not enough, she looks like she actually time travels.  How else can you explain her looking that damn good and being 56 years old?

When I was but a pup, my mother took me to see Time After Time.  I won’t go into the film too much as it’s going to be reviewed this week, but man, was she gorgeous in it!   There’s something about that weird little southern accent mashup voice of hers, and she was so fresh faced in this movie.  Granted she got plenty of help from her costar and future husband Malcolm McDowell, not to mention holding her own against a truly creepy performance by David Warner.  This movie’s so good that a sequence from it was referenced in Wonderfalls, one of my favorite shows.  Take the time to find this one…you won’t be disappointed.

Uh...Damn! That's really all I have to say about it.

Then, she goes time travelling again in Back to the Future III, as Clara…the love interest for Doc Brown.  She played a hot ass school teacher.  I can’t watch this film without a certain song by Van Halen running through my head.  While it may not be the best part of the trilogy, this movie is certainly worth seeing, as is her performance in it.  She seemed to have genuine affection for Christopher Lloyd, and that always helps, I suppose.  It’s not every woman out there who can say they’ve shared a kiss with Mr. Lloyd onscreen and it not look completely weird.

Not certain what's going on here, but if she's selling that house, I'll take it!

In two more modern films, I really liked her understanding mom character in Elf.  It really isn’t every woman, who, upon finding out that her husband had a child decades ago, would be that cool about it.  Ms. Steenburgen makes it work, however.  And, against my better judgment, I watched The Proposal, and there she was again, looking just as fine as ever!   There was something different about that part, though.  She actually reminded me of my mother.  I think you’ll find that almost every part where she’s someone’s mom, she plays really well.  Doesn’t stop her, in my mind, from being very MILFesque.  (Except when she actually reminds me of my mother, and then it’s just wrong.)

So, Hot Nerd Crush #6 is the time travelling hottie and motherplayer extraordinaire Mary Steenburgen.  I find that if I’m watching a movie and she turns up, I think that the movie is going to be just a bit better than if she weren’t there.  Seriously.  (Also, young Mary Steenburgen reminds me of a friend of mine…the equally hot @sleekimage ((Twitter names only…please!)) May @sleekimage age as well as Ms. Steenburgen!)
