SHIRLEY MACLAINE – 86

Shirley MacLaine is a stage and film actress, dancer, and author who successfully ran. At the age of 86, she isn’t inclined to retire or slow down. She is also an activist if she’s not performing or writing. Shirley recently appeared in the films Little Mermaid in 2018 and Noelle in 2019. In 2016, she did Wild Oats alongside Jessica Lange. She has accepted a number of TV projects, including Downton Abbey and a few cameos in some episodes of Glee.

As she aged, her characters grew into a cantankerous and usually portrayed sharp-tongued, slightly over-the-top woman, spirited, and frustrated. Shirley can play her characters well and put life to them unbelievably. While she needed her lawyers over contractual disputes, this did not stop her from receiving more projects. You will rarely see her dancing on film but still guess some TV varieties and eventually won various Emmy Awards and more.
