Anne Reid – 86

Britain was blessed with a great number of talented actors, but Anne Reid is a standout. Still active after 64 years working in show business, she’s just appeared in the 2021 action flick SAS: Red Notice. Before, she made it Coronation Street, dinnerladies, and the critically-acclaimed drama movie The Mother.

An ever-gracious woman, Reid is still at her best, even past the age of 86. Between 2012 and 2020, she was one of the stars of the British comedy-drama Last Tango in Halifax. She portrayed the character of Celia, and the role has even earned her a BAFTA nomination.
