Sheila Hancock – 88, Blackgang
Dame Sheila Hancock will be 88 years old in 2021, but she has the creativity and enthusiasm of a much younger lady. She appeared in the new seasons of A Discovery of Witches and Unforgotten just this year. Hancock, who was raised in a “lower-middle-class” family, understands the value of hard effort and has been in over 110 acting projects. She also succeeded as a theater actor, earning a Tony Award nomination and an Olivier Award. Over the years, she has appeared in numerous notable productions, including Annie, Sweeney Todd, The Winter’s Tale, Cabaret, and Sister Act.

Ben Kingsley – 77, Snainton
Sir Ben Kingsley, born Krishna Pandit Bhanji, is without a doubt one of the most versatile performers working today. It’s difficult to imagine two historical figures more dissimilar than the pacifist Mahatma Gandhi and the colorful painter Salvador Dal. However, guess what? Kingsley is capable of playing both roles! Kingsley earned an Academy Award for his performance as Gandhi in an epic early-’80s biopic, and we believe he can do it again with his new film, Dali Land, which is now in post-production. While we wait for Kingsley to be recognized as one of the most charismatic artists of all time, we may watch him in Schindler’s List, Shutter Island, or Hugo.
