Celebrities aged 90 and over: 11 famous faces then and now - in pictures
From Joan Collins at 90 and Eva Marie Saint at 99, all of these celebs have had very long, impressive careers
They say age is just a number, and these 11 celebrities prove just that as they all worked up until their late 80s and beyond - and some of them are still working now, even as they approach 100-years-old.
From acting to dancing, and presenting to writing, these famous faces prove another old adage too - do what you love and you’ll never work a day in life because, rather than take it easy in their twilight years, they all decided that they would rather continue to work in their chosen industries.
But, how have they changed over time? NationalWorld brings you a then and now photo gallery of some of the best stars of our generation (and the generations before us).
