At times, there is an age limit regarding fame. After all, the older people get, the more often they are sidelined in favor of younger models. However, quite a few stars continue to achieve success even after reaching a certain age.
Bob Newhart will be 97 years old in September 2024
Throughout his career, Bob Newhart has been the perfect example of a man who managed to conquer new generations and earn their praise. In the early years, people recognized him from his album of comedic monologues and his performance in the sitcom The Bob Newhart Show. This and many other roles, such as in the sitcom Newhart.
David Attenborough, in his 97 years, is still dedicated to documentaries
Nature documentaries are the same as David Attenborough’s. The British broadcaster has countless documentaries about wildlife and the world around him in hopes of educating and inspiring viewers back home.
Even today, he works hard – writing books, voicing documentaries, or giving speeches.
Clint Eastwood’s success in the Western genre continues to bear fruit even at 93.
It’s not often that people associate an entire genre of movies with one person. However, Clint Eastwood made such a massive impression in films and TV shows in the Western genre that he became the epitome of the genre.
Subsequently, he became the main character in Westerns, and his success in them helped him get other roles in Hollywood. Therefore, he is still busy in the industry today. His last movie was the neo-western drama Cry Macho. In addition, Eastwood directed the upcoming thriller “Juror #2.” Not bad for a 93-year-old man.
Barbara Eden will always be Jeannie to some people, even at 91 years old
Some stars will always be remembered for one role, no matter what else they do in their career. In Barbara Eden’s case, such a role was the Genie Genie in the fantasy sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. It brought her great fame in the 1960s and does not lose relevance to this day.
Of course, this is far from her only merit: over the past decades, Eden has played many roles in film and television, from the comedy “Harper Valley PTA” to the drama “Army Wives”.
Sophia Loren’s career has waned, but is still thriving at age 88
The American Film Institute 1999 published a list of “100 Years… 100 Stars,” which honored the most famous names in American film history. Sophia Loren, the only living star, was included. We hope it will be so in the coming years: in September 2023, Loren will be 89 years old.
She started acting in movies as a teenager and, by the mid-1950s, had a massive contract with Paramount. In 2021, they even made a documentary about her.
In his 86th year, Warren Beatty has more than a dozen Oscar nominations to his name.
In his 86 years, Beatty has been nominated for 14 Academy Awards but only four for Best Actor. He’s also been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay over the years, making him one of the most versatile talents in the industry. And he has no intention of stopping there.
Chuck Norris has a lot to be proud of in his 83 years.
It’s hard to realize that Chuck Norris turned 83 in 2023. Even though Norris doesn’t do as much in his career as he used to, he still does commercials.
Throughout his career, he has founded two major martial arts systems and made the incredible transition from Air Force veteran to martial arts champion and successful movie star. His last movie was created in 2012 but was a hit like his other work.
Rita Moreno is 91 years old and remains one of the only EGOTs.
Among the stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood, not many are still alive, but Rita Moreno is still here. Her age will be 92 in December 2023, and she’ll add another year to her already incredible seven decades in the spotlight. She remains one of history’s only Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award winners.
In addition, she is an EGOT winner and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Kennedy Center Award, and the Peabody Award. The actress will not slow down: in 2023, she will star in the sports comedy “80 for Brady” and the action movie “Fast and Furious X.” This is genuinely iconic behavior.
Jocelyn Wildenstein’s life has calmed down somewhat, as she is now 82 years old.
Of all the celebrities known to be the oldest living, Jocelyn Wildenstein is one of the most unusual. The Swiss is a fan of cosmetic surgery and has undergone many procedures in her lifetime. All surgeries have resulted in the feline appearance that she reportedly aspired to.
She received some of the money for these procedures from her ex-husband, Alec Wildenstein, with whom she had a tumultuous divorce. Still, the divorce left her with a $2.5 billion fortune and an additional $100 million over 13 years. So, there is an upside to that. Unfortunately, however, it doesn’t seem to have helped the 83-year-old woman as she filed for bankruptcy in 2018.
Anthony Hopkins continues to showcase his acting talents at 85 years old
In his 85 years, Anthony Hopkins won two Academy Awards for Best Actor, and it won’t surprise you that it was one of the movies. He won for his role as Hannibal Lecter in the psychological horror film The Silence of the Lambs, and the role is still one of the most iconic in Hollywood history.
He is currently starring in the drama film Freud’s Last Session, playing Sigmund Freud himself, with several more works in post-production.
