So, now at 60, Calloway wants to start off the month right with a new “This is My Sexy Sixty” campaign focused on celebrating women of all ages.
Since March is also Women’s History Month, the campaign is well-timed, as Calloway invites women to “look your best, feel your best, but most of all … be your best!”
According to the campaign, Calloway “will share her story and invite other women to share their personal stories, using images and word, of achieving mental, physical and spiritual wellness.”

In recent years, she had the recurring roles on Hawthorne and Shameless. In 2016, she appeared in the film about former First Lady and President Obama’s first date, Southside with You. The eight-time NAACP Image Award nominee currently stars as Lady Ella Johnson in the Bounce TV prime time soap opera, Saints & Sinners. She also recently joined the cast of the LeBron James-produced, Survivor’s Remorse on STARZ.
It doesn’t matter what age she is, when she’s not acting,Vanessa loves to cook in her free time.
“For me, there is nothing sexier, more alluring than an intimate, beautifully set dinner party with good friends,” exclaims Calloway. “I’ll take my dining room table over a high profile restaurant any day. Cooking my favorite dishes for some of my best friends and engaging them in great conversation is what makes my life special.”
On her blog, Vanessa goes on to talk about just how blessed she is to be in this position in life.
“I don’t feel old. I feel renewed, rejuvenated and fearless. I feel like I still have a good 50 years left to explore new territories.”
“Anyone that is not in my corner as I take my journey into my next 50 years, I wish them well. They however will not be a deterrent nor will they stop me from doing anything that I want to do. As I often say, I don’t care if anyone gets me because I get me! After my dear sweet Tony signs off on whatever I want to do, the hell with everyone else. Quite frankly his opinion is the only one that really matters to me but even he will not define who I am.”
Well, go ‘head Mrs. Calloway! Here’s to wishing you another beautiful 60 years on this earth! We love you!
