Jennifer Connelly is in a bikini

Actress Jennifer Connelly is down in St. Barth's on vacation with her family and doing the requisite frolicking in the surf:

At 47 years old and the mother of one with husband Paul Bettany, Jennifer is looking very good here. I took a peek at her Imdb page just to see how busy she's been and that's an impressive amount of work she's turned out in her career. Steadily working in movies and television and staying out of the tabloids for stupid behavior, she shows you can have a solid, respectable career in Hollywood, have a happy family life, and maintain your appearance without pouring thousands into disfiguring plastic surgery. She's a good example for younger ladies in the industry.

Also of note, and I'm looking right at you Anna Kendrick, Connelly didn't hide away from the fact that she was quite the hotty in her early days, and didn't shy away from roles that showed off her hotness. She's a respected actress today, and no one is dismissing her because of work she did when she was young. And like Helen Mirren, her beauty in her youth has been immortalized on film. You're only young once, might want to take advantage of that while you can. just sayin'
