She continued to record music all the way until the mid-'70s and released two compilation records in the '90s.

Cliff Richard - Age 80

Francesca Annis - Age 76

Iconic star Francesca Annis has had an illustrious six decades in the industry, boasting around 100 credits to her name. It would seem that acting is her second nature, but as it turned out, she was first a ballet dancer before an actress.

She was remarkable in her performances in the movies Macbeth, Dune, and Krull and the shows Partners in Crime, Lillie, and Between the Lines. In recent years, Annis has been involved in TV appearances and was last seen in 2020 as Vivien in Flesh and Blood.

Looking back, he does appreciate that he earned more than enough for them, but then he thought that he got obsessed with his job.

Despite this, Armstrong maintained he has no plans of retiring but does plan to keep his sharp memory. He admitted he doesn't fear dying or getting old but is terrified that he may not be able to memorize his lines.

Jane Asher - Age 75

As young as six, Jane Asher was already making a name for herself in the entertainment industry. By the time she was 17, she wasn't just a big star but also an in-demand actress. With her beauty, it wasn't surprising to know that she caught the eye of The Beatles, whose members all liked her.

However, it was Paul McCartney who swept her off her feet, and they even got engaged. Unfortunately, they called it quits in 1968, although she said they remained amicable. These days, Asher continues to act; the next will be in Splinter and 3 of a Kind.

Jacqueline Bisset - Age 76

Jacqueline Bisset is a British actress whose career spans over five decades. She had the looks that the entertainment industry demanded, which helped her climb the ladder of success before long with appearances in films such as The Detective, Bullitt, and The Sweet Ride.

Today, Bisset looks different than she once did. She has some laugh lines and wrinkles, having aged gracefully into her 76th year of life. Bisset may not have had good luck when it comes to romance, but her career is quite the opposite. Even now, she is busily working on upcoming projects like Madeleine Collins, Birds of Paradise, and Loren & Rose.

Jane Birkin - Age 74

Jane Birkin fans no longer get to see her on the screens as much as they like to. The reason is pretty obvious, seeing that she is 74 years old and is way past the retirement age in England (65).

So far, Birkin has secured over 90 acting credits, including the most recent appearance in the short video Jane Birkin: Les Jeux Interdits in 2020.

It doesn't stop there; he also embarked on an acting career in the '70s, during which time he attracted the most attention for playing Mr. Spooner in Are You Being Served? and Mr. Peters in Worzel Gummidge. Berry is now 78 years old, but he hasn't allowed his age to hold him back from doing what he loves.

Stephanie Beacham - Age 74

Colin Baker - Age 77

Born in Waterloo, London, Colin Baker is a British actor best known for his work as Paul Merroney in The Brothers and the sixth incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who. He is almost unrecognizable today with his all-white hair and a few extra pounds of weight.

We're so glad that the now 77-year-old never gave up on love when his first marriage failed because he later married Marion Wyatt in 1982, with whom he shares five children.

From 1969 to 1996, the Presidential Medal of Freedom awardee served as the senator for Kansas and went head to head with Bill Clinton in the 1996 presidential race. After his tenure in the Senate, Dole starred in several advertisements for brands like Pepsi and Dunkin’ Donuts.

Bob Barker - Age 97

Kids these days may never forget Drew Carey for hosting the hit game show The Price Is Right, but before him, Bob Barker was the star of the show. The 97-year-old had become iconic because he presented the program for over 30 years until 2007, when he decided to retire.

While Barker rarely appears in public, perhaps due to his age, he remains a staunch animal rights activist. Before landing the game show job, he used to host pageants for two decades but resigned after the organizers continued to give fur coats to winners. The TV personality also encouraged viewers to have their pets spayed/neutered before the show ended.

Jimmy Carter - Age 96

After he served as the president of the United States from 1977 to 1981, politician Jimmy Carter continued to serve his fellowmen. He was responsible for the establishment of the Department of Education and was instrumental in addressing stagflation.

The following year after his presidency stint, the politician established the Carter Center, which focuses on human rights. For his efforts in pressing matters of the nation, he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Of course, behind his back is his wife, Rosalynn Carter, and they are celebrating their 75th anniversary this 2021.

Dan Quayle - Age 74

For people in the know, politician Dan Quayle may be remembered for his infamous vice presidential debate with Lloyd Bentsen in 1988. The running mate of George H.W. Bush likened himself to John F. Kennedy when asked if he was qualified to occupy the second highest seat in government, which backfired and resulted in an undying joke.

Nonetheless, Quayle completed his term in 1993 and had written several books in the years that followed. You may have also seen him in the news in early 2021 after attending Joe Biden’s inauguration. Together with Bill Clinton, he will be a guest at the Leon Panetta Lecture Series.

Although Mitchell has largely stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, he made the news in August 2020 after it was revealed that he was diagnosed with leukemia. As per reports, he started with the treatments after he turned 87.

Thelma Barlow - 91

Thelma Barlow breathed life into the character of Mavis Wilton in Coronation Street for over two decades. The last time she portrayed her was in 1997 when Wilton left for the Lake District after her on-screen hubby Derek, played by Peter Baldwin, passed away.

Eileen Derbyshire - 89

If it weren't for Eileen Derbyshire, we doubt Coronation Street fans would've loved the role of Emily Bishop as much. After all, she played the character for 55 years (1961-2016). Her time in the long-running ITV show has made her the longest-serving woman cast member in any British TV soap opera.

Because of her lengthy acting career, Derbyshire was appointed an MBE in the Queens Birthday Honours list of 2010. The 89-year-old star is a mother of one, and sports journalist Oliver Holt is her son. Thomas W. Holt, her husband since 1965, passed away in February 2021.

The '80s were arguably Nussbaum's best decade, as he appeared in Fatal Attraction, House of Games, and Field of Dreams. But he's perhaps best known for his role as Gentle Rosenburg in the '90s blockbuster Men in Black. After working for two decades in an extermination business, Nussbaum is certainly making up for the lost time!

Larry Storch - Age 98

The comedy actor Larry Storch never announced his retirement from the screen, but we haven't seen him do what he does best since the 2010 TV series Medium Rare.

More than just a talented performer, Storch is also a prolific one, making it to a whopping 246 acting productions over the years. He's now considered to be semi-retired, as he still travels the country to meet with his fans and manages a popular Facebook account with over 50K followers.

June Brown - Age 94

If there's anyone who deserves a break, that's June Brown. She still hasn't announced her retirement, but she's been away from the screen since 2020 when she decided to let go of her EastEnders character. The decision was surely tough: after all, Brown had been playing the iconic Dot Cotton since 1985!

When you portray the same character for over 2,350 episodes, the lines between reality and fiction can get a little blurred... Now 94, Brown finally has the time to enjoy her golden years without worrying about being Cotton. She'll forever remain one of the most hardworking soap opera stars in history.

Vanessa Redgrave - Age 84

It's hard to put Vanessa Redgrave's brilliant career into numbers, but we have one for you: 149.

Junior Bridgeman – Age 68

Before we had the Le Bron Jameses, the Micahel Jordans, or Kobe Bryants, we had Junior Bridgeman. He was earning a decent amount as an NBA player, around $350K a year, but it was as a business that he would accumulate even more serious financial wealth, that figure being $600 million.

After his retirement, Bridgeman had a good brand that allowed him to leverage his business acumen and create a chain of fast-food restaurants. These days he manages two magazines, Ebony and Jet, which he acquired in 2020, and works to turn them into profitable publications.

Jake Steinfeld – Age 63

Sometimes great acts of defiance occur when we are children. A teenage kid from Long Island, with a thick New York accent and too much fat on his bones, looked down at the Twinkies that his parent gave to him, and he said, "No, not for me, dad."

To think this kid would grow up to be Jake Steinfield, the fitness guru, is something. He is a famed fitness instructor across the United States and is the CEO of Jake (Body by Jake), through which he developed his other business interests. In 2021, he became a spokesperson for exercise's benefits, given the pandemic's effects on mobility.
