Sharon Gless – 77

Sharon Gless became a familiar name after she appeared in her first show, Switch. She portrayed Maggie Philbin until the late ’70s. However, it was when she did Cagney & Lagney that her career got a huge break. This role launched her career to stardom. It was at this time that she also met her husband, Barney Rosenzweig. Soon after, they got married in 1991. At the age of 77, she is still open to projects. Her latest projects include Once Fallen, Burn Notice, and the Casualty series.

We believe she had more than enough credits in her bank account to live a comfortable retirement. Sharon is also no stranger to excellent theatrical work. She recently starred as Jane Juska in A Round-Heeled Woman. One could say that her stage experiences are extensive, even appearing on stage with Bill Paterson in London’s West End. Despite being the retirement age, she’s had a string of recent projects from 2015 to 2019.
