As we delve into the lives of these pairs of celebrities, we uncover not only the secrets behind their age-defying appearances but also the resilience and tenacity that have propelled them to the pinnacle of success.

Cher and Sally Field
Cher is often referred to as “The Queen of Comebacks” and “The Queen of Reinventions,” nicknames the 77-year-old has earned. Cher has reinvented herself each decade as a singer and an actress, rising and dusting herself clean each time she was down. The singer has an Academy Award for her role in “Moonstruck.” Cher is also a Grammy and Emmy winner.

The “Believe” star is not a lover of age. When asked, “So you and age, you’re are not friends?”, she answered, “No. My mother didn’t mind. But I do. I hate it.”

Still, the beloved entertainer isn’t done, she is writing a memoir about her life full of ups and downs. “It’s very difficult because I’ve lived too long, and I’ve done too many things. And so it would have to be, like, an encyclopedia, truthfully,” she acknowledged.

Sally Field is 77 just like her fellow actress, Cher. The actress has achieved a lot in a decades-long career. She has bagged two Academy Awards. Her extensive work on screen and stage has also led her to win Golden Globe Awards, Tony Awards, Primetime Emmy Awards, and British Academy Film Awards.

Sally Field has also shared her views on aging in Hollywood. She noted, “My profession is very much about what I look like rather than my capacity to do what it is that I’ve worked my whole life to be able to do.”

The actress added that the real questions shouldn’t be about how she is aging or how her skin is adhering to her bones but about how she is putting one foot in front of the other despite her knees hurting and the wear and tear her body has had to endure.

To Sally, the hardest part about aging is figuring out how to stay healthy against all the things that come at her in her older years.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Ellen DeGeneres are in the same age group. However, Ellen is a few months older than Jamie. Jamie, 65, got her big break in acting in 1978 in “Halloween.”

The actress, who has won a Golden Globe Award, has starred in other films such as “Halloween Kills,” “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” and “Haunted Mansion.” Jamie Lee Curtis is still making major moves. She co-wrote her first graphic novel “Mother Nature,” released in 2023, and is thinking about turning it into a movie.

Jamie explained, “I’m 65 years old this November, but my point is that I have no time to waste. I joke about it, but I’m going to die way sooner than later, and therefore, I have s— to do! This is one of the things that I needed to do, and I’m excited about it.”

Ellen DeGeneres is an Emmy-winning talk show host. The 66-year-old went from doing stand-up comedy to hosting her daytime talk show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” She has also hosted award shows such as the Grammy Awards in 1996 and 1997 and the Oscars in 2014.

Ellen is renowned not only for her comedic talents and philanthropic endeavors but also for maintaining a remarkably youthful complexion. The show host has openly shared insights into her skincare routine, emphasizing the importance of feeling confident and comfortable in one’s own skin.

She expressed that she feels most radiant and confident, “when my skin feels hydrated and clean and fresh and smooth and bright.”

King Charles III and Ozzy Osbourne
King Charles III was the longest-serving Prince of Wales in English, British, and United Kingdom history. The 75-year-old’s coronation in 2023 saw him ascend to the throne of the British monarch.

His Majesty succeeded Queen Elizabeth II after her death and he has the responsibility to showcase the relevance of the 1,000-year-old monarchy in a modern society comprising citizens from diverse global backgrounds.

King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. His Majesty has to serve at the pleasure of the people and uphold the monarch while battling cancer in his older years. Still, the king and royal experts insist he is up to the challenge.

Ozzy Osbourne, born John Michael Osbourne, is hailed as one of the founding figures of heavy metal music and stands as one of its most commercially successful and iconic artists.

Nicknamed the Godfather of Heavy Metal, Ozzy has won awards such as Grammys and MTV Europe Music Awards. The 75-year-old has also been battling health issues and had to stop touring, something he wasn’t happy about.

He confessed, “I’m taking it one day at a time, and if I can perform again, I will. But it’s been like saying farewell to the best relationship of my life.” As for now, the “No More Tears” singer said that maybe, he should just accept things as they are.

Priscilla Presley and Helen Mirren
Priscilla Presley is known for her collected demeanor and surreally youthful visage. The actress, who was Elvis Presley’s wife, considers her collaboration with Leslie Nielsen in the “Naked Gun” trilogy as the pinnacle of her acting career.

The 78-year-old underwent cosmetic surgery in 2008 and got less than satisfying results. Priscilla Presley became a victim of botched cosmetic surgery at the hands of Dr. Daniel Serrano, who was known for injecting industrial, low-grade silicone into the faces of women.

Daniel, who was sent to prison, wasn’t even a licensed doctor in the US. The injections Daniel gave caused lumps, paralysis, and holes in the faces of some of the women. Priscilla, who did not know was being injected with silicone had to undergo corrective work.

On the other hand, Helen Mirren is a phenomenal actress, who has opened up about ageism in the film industry. The 78-year-old is a recipient of numerous accolades, including the SAG Award, Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Critics’ Choice Award.

The Oscar-winning actress doesn’t subscribe to ageism in Hollywood. She noted, “Whether you’re 25, 45, or 85, you look great for who you are, not for how old you are.” Helen also wears her hair gray and long, acknowledging that it is an unacceptable thing but she does it to break the rules.

Helen has embraced getting older, saying one of its advantages is getting rid of the ridiculous insecurities she used to hold on to. Now, she tells people to celebrate getting older and not to fight it. “You die young or you get old and I don’t want to die young. I’m too interested in life. It’s wonderful, so celebrate that and enjoy it,” she added.

Richard Dean Anderson and Richard Gere
Richard Dean Anderson got his big break in the daytime drama “General Hospital.” Now retired, Anderson went on to star in other productions such as “MacGyver,” “Pandora’s Clock,” and “Legend.”

The 74-year-old was spotted in 2022 going about in his business in his Malibu neighborhood after a five-and-a-half-year absence from the public. This sighting happened eight days after his 72nd birthday.

Unlike Richard Gere, Anderson is no longer active in the entertainment scene. Richard Dean Anderson is living his older years in Malibu, where he helped design and build his Midwest-style home, which was once featured in Architectural Digest.

Richard Gere is a producer, actor, pianist, and music writer. The multitalented actor has starred in “Pretty Woman,” “American Gigolo,” and “Maybe I Do.” Gere is a humanitarian who has been prominent in “Survival International” advertising campaigns.

At 74, Gere has embraced aging. “I love getting older,” he said. The actor revealed that when his dad was 95, he aspired “to that sort of longevity.” Gere’s dad, Homer George Gere, died aged 100. “Clearly I am not as physically flexible or strong as I was when I was a kid, but I think I am mentally flexible,” added Gere.

Richard Gere is determined to make the most of his older years. He meditates every day and doesn’t let anger linger in him anymore. The actor has also embraced his emotional side. “I don’t find it difficult to cry. The last time I did was two days ago, just thinking about how kind people can be,” he revealed.

Steve Martin and Henry Winkler
Writer, actor, and producer Steve Martin began his writing career on “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” which earned him an Emmy Award. Steve went on to release comedy albums and perform in front of tens of thousands of people before starting his acting career.

Some of the movies Steve Martin did are “The Pink Panther,” “Love The Coopers,” and “Bringing Down The House.” The Grammy Award-winning star is full of creative ideas at 78. He has worked on “Only Murders in the Building.”

Steve now says he is at another peak of his career and vows to continue showing up. He said, “I’m really not interested in retiring. I’m not. But I would just work a little less. Maybe.”

On the other hand, Henry Winkler’s main aim was to be an actor after he finished college. The actor has a Bachelor’s degree from Emerson College and a master of Fine Arts degree from the Yale School of Drama.

Henry Winkler landed his first major film role in “The Lords of Flatbush” and is now a celebrated entertainer who has won a Golden Globe Award and Emy Awards. The actor is also busy at 78, as in 2023, he released his memoir “Being Henry: The Fonz… and Beyond.”

As for retirement, Henry shared, “You know, people say, ‘Are you gonna retire?’ I don’t even know how to say the word. Working is in my DNA.” The actor added that being an actor and a writer has kept his mind agile and are things he isn’t letting go of soon.

Madonna and Andie MacDowell
Madonna is an ambitious entertainer who never stops reinventing herself. She has bagged the Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Brit Awards, among others in her decades-long career.

Still, her career as an actress and movie director hasn’t received much positive praise. As a singer, she has millions of adoring fans and has sold three hundred million records and CDs.

Madonna was awarded Woman of The Year by Billboard Women Music in 2016. The 65-year-old shared that as a woman when one gets older in the entertainment industry it is considered a “sin,” and attracts criticism.

“You will be vilified and you will definitely not be played on the radio,” she added. Even with the challenges she faced as a woman who embraced sexuality in Hollywood, Madonna held her head high and continued pursuing her passion. “People say I am so controversial but I think the most controversial thing I have ever done is to stick around,” said Madonna.

“I do think there is the importance of seeing beauty at every age and it’s not limited to a certain age,” added Andie. The actress rocks her gray hair and takes good care of her body skin, and brain. She noted, “I want to be old. I’m tired of trying to be young. I don’t want to be young. I’ve been young.”

Barbra Streisand is 81. She is one of the most successful people in the entertainment industry, holding several titles, including actress, singer, producer, and director. The movie star has won awards such as Oscars, BAFTAs, Daytime Emmy, and Primetime Emmy.

Now I’m too old to care,” said the actress, who even in her 80s owns antique dolls, film costumes, vintage clothes, and a Fortuny gown.
