“Even in 2025, Hollywood’s oldest legends are proving age has nothing to do with relevance. These icons—once thought to belong only to history—are still working, mentoring, and carrying stories that shaped generations.
Elizabeth Waldo preserved Indigenous music for a century.
Karen Marsh Doll remains a living bridge to The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind.
Ray Anthony, at 103, still embodies the golden age of big-band romance.
Around them, icons like June Lockhart, Eva Marie Saint, and Dick Van Dyke continue to shine.
Creators such as Mel Brooks, William Shatner, and Barbara Eden still step into the spotlight.
And legends like Clint Eastwood, Sophia Loren, and Michael Caine show that artistry evolves, not fades.
With Julie Andrews, Shirley MacLaine, Al Pacino, and Jane Fonda still shaping culture, their presence reminds us that courage—not age—defines relevance.”
