She is renowned for her deep blue eyes and a husky voice, an identifiable quality of hers. At the young age of 13, she made her film debut in 1938 in Winifred Holby's novel South Riding film adaptation.
Johns is best remembered for playing Winifred Banks in Walt Disney's Mary Poppins. Two of the actress' last appearances on screen were in the films Superstar and the Sandra Bullock starrer, While You Were Sleeping. Glynis has since retired after appearing in Superstar in 1999.
Bob Barker — Now 98 years old
Bob Barker is one man on this list who needs no introduction, having been the host of The Price is Right from the show's inception in 1972 to its last episode in 2007. Not only that, but he was also a staple in beauty pageants like Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe for at least 20 years.
In 2017, he made headlines when he slipped in his home, which required treatment as Bob is now 98 years old. After his official retirement from the show, he appeared as a guest to promote his book Priceless Memories. He appeared on the show again to celebrate his 90th birthday.
Morgan Freeman — Now 84 years old
Of course, Morgan Freeman needs no introduction as he is still a very popular and immensely bankable actor to this day. Most people don't know that he started acting in the early 70s in Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow?
Later on, moving to more prominent roles in The Shawshank Redemption, The Sum of All Fears, and Million Dollar Baby, for which he won an Academy Award. He reportedly has a net worth of $250 million at present but considering that he's still very active at age 84, it's safe to assume that this will continue growing in the future.
Max Baer Jr. - Now 84 years old
Max Baer was so good at playing Jethro Bodine, the dimwitted nephew of Jed Clampett on the widely popular T.V. show The Beverly Hillbillies, that Hollywood couldn't see him in any other role.
He found it extremely problematic to find work after the show wrapped up, and he had to write, star, and produce a movie called Macon County Line with a friend. Not a bad gamble, considering his bank account was replenished, as the film earned $35 million at the box office! His other box office hit was Ode to Billy Joe, directed and produced in 1976. His last directorial project was Hometown U.S.A. in 1979.
Marion Ross - Now 93 years old
Marion Ross' career may have been focused on television when she was older, but let's not forget she is still one of the last remaining stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, having worked with legendary stars like Ginger Rogers, William Holden, James Stewart, Audrey Hepburn, and Humphrey Bogart among others.
However, it really cannot be denied that she is best remembered today as Marion Cunningham or Mrs. C, Richard Cunningham's mother, in the ABC TV sitcom Happy Days. Ross was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Evening Star. Ross has recurrent roles in The Drew Carey Show and Gilmore Girls.
Al Pacino - Now 81 Years Old
Al Pacino has been globally regarded as a superstar ever since he portrayed Micheal Corleone in 1972's superhit crime movie The Godfather. Thanks to its massive success, the actor got the chance to reprise his role in the sequels as well, and his work made it to the list of best screen performances in the history of cinema.
Apparently, it's Pacino's charm that he still enjoys a lucrative career, and if he keeps entertaining the audiences the same way, we don't think retirement would be an option for him for the next decade at least. In 2011, he directed Wilde Salome, a film based on Oscar Wilde's play.
RUPERT EVERETT - NOW 62 YEARS OLD
Rupert was born on May 29, 1959, in Norfolk, England, the son of an army officer-turned-businessman. He studied in boarding schools from the age of seven, including a school in a Benedictine monastery, which he discontinued at the age of fifteen. My Best Friend's Wedding, St Trinian's, An Ideal Husband, and A Midsummer Night's Dream are among Rupert's most notable acting appearances.
His voice acting roles in the Shrek franchise, The Wild Thornberrys Movie, and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Wardrobe, and The Witch have also brought him success. Rupert also plays the protagonist in The Happy Prince, an Oscar Wilde biography.
Anthony Hopkins - Now 84 Years Old
As movie lovers, we all should be thankful to Hollywood for giving us talents who entertain us with their stellar on-screen performances. Anthony Hopkins is one such actor who has been a regular in the film industry since the 1970s.
Some of his exceptional works include The Remains of the Day, Amistad, and The Silence of the Lambs, through which the audience witnessed his versatility. It's an inevitable truth that no one can escape the aging process, and although Hopkins is old now, it has not affected his career as he still finds himself busy filming for T.V. shows and movies.
