Geena Davis & Brad Pitt, Thelma and Louise, 1991

When Thelma meets J.D., his youthful energy (and his unforgettable abs) helps her get her groove back, proving that not all great relationships are long term. Although it worked out for her, picking up a hitchhiker is probably still a bad idea.

Anne Bancroft & Dustin Hoffman, The Graduate, 1967

Though Dustin’s character Benjamin ultimately falls in love with Mrs. Robinson’s daughter Elaine, this iconic on-screen duo has become synonymous with cougars and their prey. When Ben gets a lesson in seduction, so do we. Ben: “Mrs. Robinson, you’re trying to seduce me… aren’t you?” Mrs. Robinson: “Do you want me to seduce you? Is that what you’re trying to tell me?” And Cougar 101 is born!

Diane Lane & Josh Brolin at the SAG Awards, 2012

Married since 2004, this pair was introduced by Josh’s stepmother, Barbra Streisand (a former cougar herself—she dated Andre Agassi, 28 years her junior, before settling down with James Brolin.) BroLane are still going strong despite (or perhaps thanks to) their three-year age gap.

Sofia and her boyfriend of several years, politician Nick Loeb, are enjoying their four-year age difference and everything else about their relationship. I don’t know if Nick is responsible for her fountain of youth, but she’s doing something right—this bombshell’s modern family includes 20-year-old son Manolo from her previous marriage. That’s one hot mama!

Jennifer Lopez & Casper Smart, iHeartRadio Music Festival, 2011

Jennifer appears to have her backup dancer/boyfriend Casper on a leash onstage, but in real life, the two (18 years apart), who started dating in late 2011 after her split from Marc Anthony, seem to be full PDA steam ahead. He’s been on several trips with her and has met her kids. Maybe love don’t cost a thing… at least for now.

Cher & Rob Camilletti at the Premiere of Moonstruck, 1987

A serial cougar, this hopeless romantic chanteuse and her boy toy (18 years younger!) snapped out of it after just two years together, though they remain friends. Cher is currently dating writer/director Ron Zimmerman (whom she met on Facebook… whaaat?). Though her new beau is 12 years her junior, he’s the first man over 30 that she’s ever dated. At 65, that’s pretty impressive. Go, girl!

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon, Academy Awards, 2010

This lyrical couple met during the making of her music video "Bye Bye" and married a month later. Despite their whirlwind nuptials, Nick’s recent health scare and the birth of their twins Moroccan and Monroe (Roc & Roe) have made the pair stronger than ever as they approach their four-year anniversary. Eleven-year age gap be damned, these two really do make music together.

Joan Collins & Michael Nader, Dynasty, 1983

As Dynasty’s Alexis and Dex (LexDex), this tempestuous couple fought, made up, and made love for six years until she found Dex in bed with her daughter, Amanda. (Another cougar left for a kitten, and perhaps another homage to The Graduate?)

Halle Berry & Gabriel Aubry on the Red Carpet, 2009

With a decade between them, these stunners, introduced by Donatella Versace, split after just four years. On the plus side, their love (and maybe more importantly, their genetics) lasted long enough to bring Nahla into the world. Halle is currently engaged to Olivier Martinez, who is her age. Way to break a pattern, Halle!

This Beaches-loving cougar met her Lost bait when the pair were working on an independent film, Drowning on Dry Land. Despite the whopping 21 years between them, they kept the spark alive for 11 years until they split in 2010. Heads up, all you young princes out there—Barbara can be seen in her upcoming guest spot as the Evil Queen’s mother on Once Upon a Time.

Susan Sarandon & Tim Robbins, 2005

This May/December romance (they’re 12 years apart) started on the set of Bull Durham. Though the two never married, they had two sons and were together for 23 years (a lifetime in Hollywood years!) before their shocking split in 2009. (Forget Brad and Jen—what happened here?) Susan can be seen in the upcoming season of The Big C, while Tim recently released an album with his band Tim Robbins & The Rogues Gallery Band.

Jane Seymour & Owen Wilson, Wedding Crashers, 2005

In a scene reminiscent of The Graduate, Jane’s character tells Owen’s to “call her Kitty Cat” as she gets him to feel her cosmetically enhanced rack. Needless to say, it is not the smooth seduction of her predecessor.
