50 Senior Celebs Who Are Still Crushing Life
11. Helen Mirren (Born In 1945) – The Queen, 1923
Helen Mirren won the Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen, and she has spent the years since proving she can play just about anyone. She has been a Russian empress, a Mossad agent, a Fast & Furious matriarch and Israeli prime minister Golda Meir.
Now in her 80s, she’s busier than ever. She starred opposite Harrison Ford in the Western drama 1923, joined the crime series MobLand, and led the cozy mystery The Thursday Murder Club. She’s also famously proud of her silver hair.
12. Morgan Freeman (Born In 1937) – The Shawshank Redemption, Million Dollar Baby
Morgan Freeman didn’t land his first big movie role until his 50s, and he has made up for lost time ever since. His voice alone is one of the most recognizable in Hollywood, and his performances in Driving Miss Daisy, The Shawshank Redemption and Million Dollar Baby, which won him an Oscar, are modern classics.
Well into his late 80s, he’s still on screen, with roles in the spy series Lioness and the heist sequel Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.
