To be an actress in one's seventies and still win leading roles in Hollywood speaks volumes as to the caliber of any female performer. This is especially so when Tinseltown—and cinema in general—is notorious for passing over women for top billing once they've hit a certain age. But there are exceptions. Indeed, a few select female screen personalities are still enjoying a busy career at three score and ten—70 years old and counting!
Sadly, some of the legendary actresses on this list have passed away, but nonetheless, the legacies they left behind will be cherished for generations by both fans and the film industry alike.
Click through and be reminded of the women who have taken the lead in Hollywood in their seventies and beyond, and pay tribute to those who are no longer with us.
