23 Mature Lesbians in Film and TV

[@BluePatriotWinner]

Thanks for doing this. It's nice to see myself represented for a change instead of twenty somethings. Hope to see more!

[@speakingupforpointmolate4670]

Thank you. We need more movies and shows that portray mature lesbians. Not everyone is drawn to twenty something story lines.

[@ramabaiapparao8801]

Yes I felt it

[@BoredGirl11]

Gentleman Jack, and if we're talking Suranne Jones being all sapphic, there's also Vigil. Deadloch is gold! Praying for that season 2.

[@susyclau7433]

How about Carol?

[@hhuiah]

recently a fan asked Sarah [after her play] if we'll get ratched S2 and she said no..

[@UrsaMajor1924]

Dang. At least the one crazy season we did get was wrapped up neatly with a bow.

[@MsFunfly]

Thank you for this, and your recommendation of Flying Witch's channel. I've loved Otalia for many years now and am currently watching Flying Witch's videos on repeat, and also went down a Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia rabbit hole and watched A Million Happy Nows again. I cried again. Those 2 actresses are so good together. The wedding in the pilot The Grove The Series was magical. So looking forward to Season 7 of Venice The Series as well!

[@lievevdb]

have you seen Station 19 where Dr Carina Deluca (Stefania Spampinato) develops a relationship with Capt Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre) in season3. I truly love their lovestory that has developed over the past 4 seasons

[@100percentshipper]

Yes, I really enjoy their storyline and think it's well done.

[@gaynorroberts8201]

@@100percentshipper I think how the show ended was perfect!!

[@kimk0409]

Definitely another one to consider is Eve and Suki in the BBC soap EastEnders. The chemistry is totally off the charts but it also feels like a real love story. I'd have trouble picking one favorite sapphic couple from film/tv because there are a lot of great ones, but if i had to, Eve and Suki would absolutely be in the running! (And their story is still unfolding!)

[@100percentshipper]

Thanks for the tip will check them out.

[@aie_aie_]

Deadloch is soooo funny and inventive ❤ Ammonite is so pure ❤

[@luthorsday]

Harlan Coben's Shelter is also worth a mention here (and so good overall), although it was absolutely cancelled too soon 💔

[@toggz_0174]

one BBC series to consider is last tango in halifax, one of the main characters there comes out later in life!

[@100percentshipper]

Ooh yes, that's a good one.

[@magsndj]

Suki Panesar and Eve Unwinn currently on the British soap opera, Eastenders.

[@kimk0409]

Yes, 100%. I just made a comment saying the same thing! They are definitely my favorite current sapphic couple.

[@jessicabailie]

Yesss! Omg I love them sm

[@DeborahVerret-yp9fp]

Great content 100% shipper.

[@appleonaya2659]

Thank you! Even though I've always known I hadn't deconstructed yet and learned God loves me and made me exactly as I am. When I watch those shows with all younger lesbians dating around, living it up, it feels me with deep sadness and regret that I missed all those years and can never get them back. I'm so happy to know of other shows I can watch to see representation.

[@100percentshipper]

I'm so glad! I hope you find something you really enjoy.

[@geni_qt]

Thank you from a mature kiwi woman 🏳️‍🌈 (in her 40s) I appreciate all your content. 😊

[@100percentshipper]

Hello fellow kiwi 🥝 !

[@jmeb8294]

Thanks for this list! Some further suggestions: "Late Bloomers" and also "My Grandma's a Lesbian" (the latter was given a dumb title in English because apparently they thought the Spanish title wouldn't translate well). I also think "Legends of Tomorrow" and "In The Water" might qualify for "mature" thought not older.

[@BetteTwain]

Older women are hotter anyway ❤

[@monicaking2140]

So agree 😊

[@ramabaiapparao8801]

Yes yes yes yes

[@aie_aie_]

[@ramabaiapparao8801]

Wow whatever I missed could go in search of it as and when time permits.thanks anyway

[@bertieborough]

Justin Hartley, who played Arrow in Smallville has a new show called Tracker. In the show his business partners/job finders are a couple in their sixties, it's implied though not stated that they have been together for most of their lives and their screen time is limited to a couple of minutes each episode. Still, it's nice that the show runners went with that inclusion, as they could have gone in many other directions. The show is not groundbreaking, but it is enjoyable and light entertainment with slightly dark overtones. There is a second season coming in October.

[@missvt6640]

Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia have been acting as a couple for nearly 20 years now that's incredible, that's so cool that they made a film based off of a fans story as well. Thanks for talking about these, there are quite a few movies I missed or forgot about here.

[@lolaxdios]

Just watched Ammonite and I loved it !! Thank you

[@100percentshipper]

Glad you enjoyed!

Liz in september my all time favorite.,alongside freeheld and desert hearts

[@antoniaezac4653]

Thank you, Shipper, for another very good set of reviews. As always, your choices are impeccable! "Disobedience" could probably feature on this list, don't you think? I guess it depends at what age you draw the line for "mature" 🤔

[@100percentshipper]

It was a vague and imprecise line I drew, so disobedience could make that list!

[@FuHackers-wx9lq]

Cloudburst... just an excellent film! Regardless of your age. I'd rather have quality, over quantity anytime! 🏳️‍🌈

[@cbbred]

Grab the tissues for A Million Happy Nows but its worth it

[@LotusLove97]

[@itshallpass]

Julaintina And Brazilian shop opera I don't remember the name Clara and mariana Maitino My fav.

[@tpatriciabinet1515]

Bonsoir escuse moie j'ai vu que vous avez demandé au sujet des séries pour moie clarina et Marina c'est mes chouchoutes je les adore toutes les deux elles sont tellement belles je les ait enregistré avant quand je les vois elle était manifique cette séries et cette magnifique musique qui et d'une beauté je vous enbrasse très fort Patricia de la France ❤😉💋😊😘❤

[@lindaewart5691]

Bernie and Serena on British soap Holby City emergency / trauma doctors both of them mature I would say probably late forties early fifties Serena has been straight most of her life so it's one of those things about female sexual fluidity. Fun fact, the character Bernie wolf is played by Gemma redgrave, famously Kate Stewart on Doctor Who how cool is that

[@staredwards268]

Two of Us is terrific.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I really enjoyed cloudburst and grandma totally worth a watch I absolutely love a perfect ending I have rewatched that movie so many times ❤

[@Jamakaya1]

Cloudburst deals with a couple's issues with aging but is also hilarious at times. The leads are terrific! Saw it at a LGBT film fest and the audience was very engaged, rooting for the couple all the way.

[@andreajames7096]

Two of us is excellent

[@milliebernard8836]

You may like to add American Gothic with the Hawthorne family and the relationship between Alison and Naomi..hot

[@hochaktuell]

Where can you watch Ratchet?

[@Jamakaya1]

Netflix, I think.

[@hnysdn]

Deux was a lot more light hearted than you’re assuming, and duke of burgandy was somehow hot :)

[@mariavergara741]

For me, the best film...FREEHELD made in 2015.

[@Swimdeep]

Freeheld is a good add to this list.

[@hochaktuell]

True Love is my favourite ❤️

[@nodoboho]

Sapphic/wlw storylines with at least one mature woman (~40+) that I have enjoyed: * Me, Myself, and Her * Bobbie's Girl * Elena Undone * The Gymnast * Die Konkurrentin (The Competitor) (older German movie, on KZbin) * Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love) (old German TV soap with several wlw stories; two of which had one mature woman: Erika & Nina, Carla & Suzanne) * Gute Zeite, Schlechte Zeite (Good Times, Bad Times) (another older German TV soap with Anni having several romances, two of which were with women 20+ yrs older: Anni & Katrin, Anni & Rosa) * The Hunger * Professor Marston and the Wonder Women * Perry Mason (HBO reboot) Della Street is a lesbian!

[@magorzatamargaret294]

Elena Undone Die Konkurrentin I like both. Most of the nexxt I dont know except Verbotene Liebe - Carla and Hanna (best for me - just perfect)

[@ailsawalcott52]

I really liked T11

[@h1a1n1n1a1h]

Can’t believe that after all the homophobia Nicole faced from her mother when she was with Maia. She ended up in a queer relationship too. 😂

[@100percentshipper]

I know right!? I love that for her.

[@tpatriciabinet1515]

Bonjour merci beaucoup pour cette magnifique vidéo j'ai vraiment adoré et beaucoup aimé c'est tellement beaux vraiment j'ai apprécié merci beaucoup je vous enbrasse très fort Patricia de la France continuez vous le mérité énormément ❤😉😊💋❤😘

[@magorzatamargaret294]

A perfect ending is rather about BI women. And the movie is pfenomenally great, including the end...unless someone cant understand what that end means....:P
