It is just a natural thing that I myself succumbed to as a youngin and now as an older woman I ponder about it a lot: an older human male who has not just survived but has thrived, is healthy and successful is an alpha, able to protect well. And a younger female is fertile. You can't avoid the sexual attraction inherent, no two ways about it.
And of course Hollywood sees something iconic like that, they are going to sell it.
From time to time, do think about old toothless Eskimo women going off on an ice floe to die as not to be too much trouble. But then with the internet, one can see things like this whole #cougarhunter phenomena, which reveal the full range of variation of the human sexual response, and one finds, as always, that "Hollywood" is not selling truth.

A lot more Eskimo than Cougar up here in the north, Catherine Deneuve be damned. Also carrying grandma up to the snows on Fujimori... disposable, aren't we?

Deneuve is old style "high class" tastes, but I do clearly remember when the bathtub photos of the 60-something Helen Mirren in NY mag went viral among the younger set.. Turns out that millennials were still enamored with her bod 5 years later. I think that maybe what makes for cougar is you have to have that sort of cool-headed smarts thing going on, too? But coltish, skittish? The English mistress accent helps, but it's kind of like the appeal of Angie Dickinson in the old days, not just the bod. I remembering thinking way back that nobody seemed to care about Angie's wrinkles and sometimes haggard appearance, she was still considered "hot" and I was puzzled by that at the time. Not any more, I get it.

I think of Ann Margret, though she was from an earlier era when *35* was already being "Cougar".
And BTW, sometimes "haggard" is good - a little bit of rustic weathering can be a needed antidote to airbrushed fantasy. And then there's Dolly Parton and Tina Turner and a variety of others who manage to keep *someone* excited long past the rest. Taste is diverse.
