STOP thinking 70 is old

Instead think 100 is old.

Here are Celebrities alive today who are over 90 years old.

 

Marsha Hunt – 103-Years-Old, Pride and Prejudice

Not many actresses have a massive impact on Hollywood, but Marsha Hunt sure did! She changed the way we look at the industry forever. If you don’t know, Hunt became one of the many stars blacklisted by Hollywood film studio executives in the ’50s, during the height of McCarthyism. Thankfully, she managed to make a massive comeback a few years later. In fact, afterward, Hunt did some of her best work, starring in films like Raw Deal and Pride and Prejudice.

Meanwhile, while sitting out of movies, Hunt also found another passion: ending world hunger. Even after returning to the screen, the actress always found time to do charitable work. Now, Hunt likes to focus more on issues of equality than working. After all these years, it seems this 103-year-old star still wants to make the world a better place!

Eva Marie Saint – 100-Years-Old, On the Waterfront

Actress Eva Marie Saint became a household name in the acting industry during the ’50s. Her performances in movies like North by Northwest and On the Waterfront showed people how talented she is in acting. As of 2024, she’s the oldest Academy Award winner who’s still alive.

She’s already 100-Years-Old, and she isn’t that active in Hollywood anymore. Her earnings in recent years came from the voice work she did for the series called The Legend of Korra. In an interview she gave in 2024 in honor of her 100th birthday, she said, “I don’t feel like I’m 100 years old. I still go for walks outdoors, watch baseball, especially Los Angeles Dodgers, and enjoy time with my family and friends. A good life.”

Barbara Eden – 93-Years-Old, I Dream of Jeannie

Barbara Eden became a massive name in the acting industry during the latter part of the ’60s thanks to her starring role in the show called I Dream of Jeannie. The series aired for about five seasons, and people associate her with the character until today.

Other notable roles she has in her acting portfolio were in How to Marry a Millionaire, Harper Valley PTA, and The Secret Life of Kathy McCormick. She’s 93-Years-Old today, and she still does occasional acting work. One of Eden’s most recent role was in the 2019 film titled My Adventures with Santa.

Clint Eastwood – 94-Years-Old, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Actor-turned-director Clint Eastwood remains one of the biggest names in Hollywood, decades after he started acting. Of course, most first grew to know Eastwood as the Man with No Name in The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, as well as the titular character in Dirty Harry. However, few know that Eastwood’s biggest hit ever was not one of his dramas, but rather the action-comedy Any Which Way But Loose. After all, who doesn’t like Eastwood acting alongside an orangutan?

Over the years, Eastwood decided he had a better eye for directing than acting. Recently he’s focused more on directing, helming dramatic hits like Million Dollar Baby, earning multiple Academy Awards along the way. Currently, the 94-year-old is working on a documentary titled Presenting Geraldine Page. Will it boost his $375 million net worth? Only time will tell…

Dick Van Dyke – 98-Years-Old, Dick Van Dyke Show

Believe it or not, legendary actor Dick Van Dyke actually started his career as a radio DJ in the late ’40s. That’s right! However, it seems he didn’t like being himself, so he decided to make the jump to Broadway, where television producers first saw him. From there, things spiraled very quickly, with Van Dyke earning his own television show, the beloved Dick Van Dyke Show, by the early ’60s.

Following his TV show, Van Dyke made the jump to movies, starring in smash hits like Mary Poppins and Bye Bye Birdie. These days, however, the actor only works when he really wants to. Instead, Van Dyke spends most of his golden days with his wife, Arlene Silver, enjoying his incredible net worth of $35 million. Not too shabby for a 98-year-old!

Hitchcock soon noticed her modeling work and offered her roles in some of his biggest films, including Marnie and The Birds.

Afterward, Hedren went onto appear in over 100 films and TV shows, including the last film from Charlie Chaplin, A Countless from Hong Kong.

While Hedren left the industry for a while to raise Griffith and become an animal rights activist, she recently returned to the big screen in movies like The Ghost and the Whale.
