Helen Mirren | 76 years old

Helen Mirren is one of the most famous and admired actresses in the United Kingdom and the United States. She gained prominence, to a degree, for taking on challenging roles in a career that encompasses stage, screen, and television. She has received numerous awards for her strong and flexible performances.

Her film career started in the late 1960s with Age of Consent but she only had her breakout role in The Long Good Friday. Critics hailed her as a significant new screen star for her performance. Over the next decade, Mirren continued to work on stage while also expanding her filmography and fan base with films like Excalibur and Cal. She continued working, appearing in the television series Prime Suspect and played a former secret agent in Red 2. Mirren seems to find it challenging to picture herself retiring from acting anytime soon – which her fans are very happy about.
