50 Senior Celebs Who Are Still Crushing Life
39. Christie Brinkley (Born In 1954) – Supermodel and Uptown Girl
Christie Brinkley appeared on three consecutive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers and became one of the most famous faces of the 1970s and ’80s. She also starred in Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl video.
In her 70s, she still models, runs her own business ventures, and uses her platform to encourage regular skin checks after being treated for skin cancer in 2024. She has also played Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway.
40. Elton John (Born In 1947) – Rocket Man, Your Song
Elton John has sold hundreds of millions of records, and his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour was one of the highest-grossing tours ever. When his Dodger Stadium farewell show won an Emmy in 2024, he joined the rare EGOT club.
Health problems, including a loss of vision in one eye, haven’t stopped him. In 2025, he released Who Believes in Angels?, an album made with Brandi Carlile, and he continues to lead his AIDS foundation.
