Anne Reid – 86, Newcastle Upon Tyne
Anne Reid, an English actress, knows how to pick’em: in the previous two decades, she’s acted in films such as The Mother, Inside No. 9, and Years and Years, a wonderful 2019 mini-series. She recently joined the cast of SAS: Red Notice, an action film based on the true life of a former British SAS member. Reid’s career is looking more promising than ever. Still, she’s no newcomer: she’s been working continuously since the late ’50s, and she’s achieved success across all platforms (from stage to big screen), appearing in shows as legendary as Coronation Street and Last Tango in Halifax.
Anthony Hopkins – 83, Port Talbot
When you think Anthony Hopkins is ready to fade away, he shocks you with films like The Father, which earned him his second Academy Award for Best Actor. His superb performance in 2020 enabled him to become the oldest Best Actor Oscar winner ever: the icing on the cake of a stellar 61-year career. Hopkins has been regarded as one of the world’s most accomplished performers since his portrayal of the demented Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. He has something for everyone, from David Lynch’s The Elephant Man to HBO’s dystopian series Westworld.
