Catherine Schell – Doctor Who, 76

Although we cannot tell what actress Catherine Schell’s secret is, we’re confident it must be a healthy lifestyle keeping her skin aging in reverse while other celebrities have to go the way of beauty products searching for a youthful look.
Catherine has shown over the years how talented she is, appearing in so many TV shows and delivering outstanding performances. One such show where Schell showed her impressive exceptional performance capacity was the iconic Doctor Who TV series where she played Countess Scarlioni in 1979. With a string of roles following so far, it’s always been a win for this screen-legend.
Phil Rose – Robin of Sherwood, 68

The Manchester-born actor made a prominent mark in the 1980s series Robin of Sherwood, which featured him in Friar Tuck’s shoes. Note-worthy roles like that of Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night and the Gangster in Kiss Me, Kate earned Rose a theatrical reputation. With numerous television credits, including BBC’s Scarifyers series The Devil of Denge Marsh and The Secret W***** of Doom, the iconic star keeps himself active by working out routinely with his trainer.
Even in his late 60s, Rose seems to have frozen his middle-aged charm, and he can easily reprise his favorite role, that of the doctor in the ’80s war-drama Threads!
Rebecca Eaton – Masterpiece, 73

From the time Rebecca Eaton produced the highly acclaimed series Masterpiece to date, we cannot spot any significant difference in the star, except, of course, her silver hair. Anyway, there are no doubts Masterpiece brought nationwide recognition but producing the TV series Sherlock sealed Rebecca’s popularity even more.
Just as the American film and television producer is known for introducing viewers to British countryside drama and costumes, Eaton’s elegancy, despite her age, comes off as a shock to us. Rebecca, at 73, makes a strong case that chasing your dreams and a passion for what you do in life, do a person good!
Jenny Seagrove – The Brack Report, 63

Born Jennifer Ann Seagrove, Jenny got the theatre training that helped bring her to the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School’s limelight. That is most probably why she is so good at what she does, yet we cannot guess what keeps Seagrove so effortlessly good-looking.
Best known for her role in the 2001 to 2007 series Judge John Deed, there are so many other credits to the star’s name, including a breakout appearance in the classic 80s series The Brack Report. And so, while Jenny may be a long-time industry veteran now, her glowing skin has stayed thus far with her too.
Judith Barker – Coronation Street, 77

Famous for appearing in the soap opera Coronation Street, Judith Barker is one actress who has worked hard to earn a reputation in her professional career, giving us top-notch onscreen performances and now sliding into retirement.
But, while we’ve seen so many celebrities try to slow down aging utilizing various products and methods, we’ve also seen the Rovers star, who boldly chose to age naturally. With silver-grey hair to fit her wise years, Judith’s beauty has no plans of diminishing her star power, just like her reputation in showbiz. Hence, there is no life advice we will not be taking from this superstar, seeing that Barker’s got it all.
Miriam Margolyes – Blackadder, 79

So many lessons to learn from Miriam Margolyes, but the most striking would be to take care of oneself as much as possible. The Blackadder star has successfully kept everything in check even after suffering some age-related illnesses that should have discouraged her.
In addition to the fact that Miriam does not pay any attention to what people say about her, leading a healthy lifestyle and minding her business may have helped her steady glow. Yet, it can only be the talent that bought The Age of Innocence performer the impressive showbiz portfolio associated with her name today.
Amelia Shankley – A Little Princess, 48

Not for a minute has Amelia Shankley looked a day over thirty; thus, whoever comes up to reveal her secret wins our gratitude forever. However, we doubt it would be anything far from what we already have in mind: diet and exercise.
Amelia, who is best known for her role in the 1985 film Dreamchild, also featured as Sara Crewe in the TV miniseries A Little Princess and Viki in two seasons series Lovejoy. Today, Shankley’s far from done making her screen appearances, and as she continues to thrive in the industry, and we hope to see more of this riveting performer’s craft at play.
Sally Dynevor – Coronation Street, 57

Sally Dynevor started her run on Coronation Street back in 1986 and has maintained her role since then. Sally portrays Sally Webster, who began as the typical troublesome girl but has since reformed. The evolution of the character and Sally’s acting prowess has made Webster one of the show’s most important characters.
Despite being on our screens for several decades, it’s hard to believe Dynevor has been active for that long. Some might argue that since she set foot on set, her human clock stopped functioning or at least slowed down dramatically. Sally is still as attractive as ever, and her career is still on the rise.
Beverly Callard – Coronation Street, 64

Beverly Callard landed her first role at the age of seven as a page boy. Surprisingly, she took a different path, becoming a typist when she left school. However, Callard’s love for acting brought her back on set, where she went on a very successful campaign for more than four decades.
Unsurprisingly, the starlet was a member of our auspicious series Coronation Street, and the results speak for themselves. According to online records, Beverly is in her sixties, but we highly doubt this considering how elegant and glamorous she looks. For this showbiz star, age is just a number as her looks are thoroughly unaffected by such concerns.
Eileen Derbyshire – Coronation Street, 89

Adding more credibility to our theory is Eileen Derbyshire, who acted as Emily in Coronation Street and just like her co-stars; despite being in her late 80’s, Derbyshire is as spry as a 50-year old. The soap star has been a recurring cast member from 1961 till 2015 when she left the show for personal reasons.
Apparently, Eileen is relatively private, and very few images of the actress are available online. However, this hasn’t stopped us from noticing her slow aging process. As much as it was an admirable attempt, Derbyshire masking her negligible aging, we are crafty with our research too, and the results speak for themselves.
Eileen Atkins – Coronation Street, 86

Eileen Atkins is a legendary actress who deserves all of her laurels today. How she managed to stay on Coronation Street for over six decades is no small feat considering how fast people get bored and change jobs. Moreover, Atkins is still active today, making her a top contender for the longest-held TV character.
As impressive as her career is, Eileen’s skincare routine is the bee’s knees. For whatever reason, this fantastic human refuses to age. Despite clocking her mid-eighties, she is still gorgeous and stunning. Seeing Atkins on TV makes you wonder if looking this good in one’s golden years truly is possible for the rest of us.
Maureen Lipman – Agony, 74

Maureen Lipman’s CV is a mile long, and her credits are so diverse, and well-chosen they make her sound older than she actually is. It is tough to fathom how much Lipman has done in such a short span. Surprisingly, despite getting her breakthrough role in Agony as Aunt Agony, her story is far from such malice.
Maureen is still spry, and if it weren’t for the online information on her birthday, we would probably estimate her to be at least ten years younger than the records claim. Honestly, 74 looks great on her, and it makes us wonder how Lipman does it.
Helen Shapiro – You Don’t Know, 74
Seeing Helen Shapiro now, when she’s in her mid-70s, it’s almost miraculous how little she’s changed since she was peaking the charts with songs like You Don’t Know. She was born in London, back in 1946. Today, she’s made a $19-million fortune with her singing!
Although she hasn’t released any new content in a while, she is still out there in her own way. The last time she was on TV was for The Beach Boys: Making Pet Sounds, a documentary released in 2017. Her IMDb page now mentions upcoming participation on Who Is Earl Okin?.
Sally Ann Matthews – Coronation Street, 50

At this point, if you don’t believe us, you’re in denial. Sally Ann Matthews is our next highlight, and you wouldn’t guess which show she’s well known for. If you said Coronation Street we owe you a pat on the back for a job well done.
Our fair lady has had an impressive run on the show, and despite leaving at some point, Matthews has made several comebacks and appearances, and you can’t help but think she was in a cryo-chamber during the interim. Whenever Sally returns to our screens, she definitely looks like she hasn’t aged a day.
Stuart Organ – Grange Hill, Unknown

Stuart Organ is well known for his time on Grange Hill, where he played Mr. Robson. His role allowed him a younger fanbase that literally grew with him over time. Despite finding other parts, the early fans have still kept tabs on him, and most have made a very astonishing discovery.
It seems Mr. Organ is experiencing the same phenomenon as other people on this list. Stuart is aging at the rate of 1000 years per wrinkle, and someone should investigate this. What’s more suspicious is that the actor’s age is still a mystery making us wonder whether Organ is hiding something.
Gwyneth Powell – Grange Hill, 74

Gwyneth Powell is popular for her decade-long enactment of headmistress Mrs. Bridget McCluskey on BBC’s children’s television series, Grange Hill. She is also remarkably outstanding for her roles in the 70’s and 80’s drama The Guardians, Z Cars, Father Brown, and a lot more on the list.
Despite her busy schedule, Gwyneth didn’t let it affect her health and managed to keep her skin flawless. We don’t have any updates of the star’s life as she last appeared in the drama Casualty in 2014. But we want to know more! Especially her secret to ageless beauty!
Lee Cornes – Kinda, 70

Who could forget the ludicrously epic and funny lines in Mr. Bean: The Animated Series led by writer Lee Cornes. Lee is an astounding actor and regular host at London’s Comedy Store. He won an award for the Best Stand Up Comedian in 1987 at Charrington London Fringe Awards. And in 1982, the actor even featured as the trickster in Doctor Who‘s 19th season, Kinda.
What secret could this comedian have to halt the inevitable course of time? Is his humor the predominant factor of unwinding the clock of aging in his seventies? Should we learn some whimsical jokes too?
Penelope Keith – Donkey’s Years, 81

Donkey’s Year, an English play entrancingly paved the way for Penelope Keith to get nominated for Olivier Award for Best Actress and Best Comedy Performance in the same year, 1976. In the following year, Penelope did a terrific job of winning the BAFTA TV Award for Best Light Entertainment Performance for her great acting in The Good Life.
Penelope is an all-around actress devoted to all genres like film, radios, stage, and television. She may be in her 80’s, and yet a stunningly radiant aura reflects her face as if time doesn’t get ahead of her.
Jack Hedley – Colditz, 90

Adding one more phenomenal man to the list, Jack Hedley was born in London, England, under Jack Hawkins’ name in 1930. He changed his name to avoid dubiety with an eponym.
The renowned actor, who is splendidly notable for his television performances, starred in Colditz as the lead role, Lt. Colonel Preston. In Autumn of the same year, he was in The New York Ripper as a misanthropic investigative policeman named Fred Williams. Though he’s only a decade behind finishing one century, his wrinkled face still screams a stellar trace of charming features of his youth.
Gerald Harper – Hadleigh, 90

Gerald Harper found himself possessing an interest in acting while in school, aspiring to be a doctor. After his compulsory government service, he entered London Arts Theatre then Liverpool Playhouse before his performance with Frankie Howerd in Charley’s Aunt. Back in the 1970s, he even conferred The Sunday Affair for a radio station.
Harper played James Hadleigh in Hadleigh, a sequel to Gazette (1968) for ITV, which ran from 1969 to 1976. This series mind-blowingly attracted 17 million viewers at its utmost. But indeed, no matter how far we go, we will always return to what makes our hearts flutter – Harper latterly returned to theatre.
Sidonie Bond – Castle Haven, 84

From the look of things, Sidonie Bond has taken a break from the media after retirement, and yes, it is a good decision considering that any celebrity in their 80’s would want some privacy. Well, even though we’ve not seen her most recently, Bond’s charm and allure are still intact, not entirely like before, but almost the same nonetheless.
Sidonie gained massive recognition playing roles in the series The Avengers and Castle Haven, with both performances exceeding expectations far beyond what anyone could have predicted. Today, the superstar stands as one of Britain’s top actresses of all time.
John Cleese – Fawlty Towers, 81

Widely regarded as the funniest man in Britain, John Cleese earned himself a name as a founding member of Monty Python, the iconic comedy group. In his eighties, the actor is still actively involved in Hollywood, and we wonder what keeps the 6’5″ giant going strong?
The Fawlty Towers star takes good care of his body, getting enough rest during his downtime while also doing laps in the swimming pool. They say laughter is the best medicine, and that could also be why Cleese isn’t aging as we expected, as the author makes everyone smile whenever he’s around.
Prunella Scales – Fawlty Towers, 88

Most people, especially celebrities, opt to spend part of their fortune on cosmetic surgeries, all in a bid to at least slow down the aging effects, but Prunella Scales isn’t one of them. The famed actress isn’t a fan of plastic surgery, and she hasn’t been under the knife before, choosing to age naturally, and Prunella looks excellent in her late eighties! Her secret? The star sticks to a strict balanced diet, some exercise all combined with eight hours of sleep.
Scales rose to fame after her thrilling performance in the Fawlty Towers sitcom and has since enjoyed massive success, starring in countless films and television shows.
Christopher Biggins – Porridge, 72

With an impressive career spanning over five decades, including appearances in the iconic sitcom Porridge, Christopher Biggins is a mainstay name in British television. The comedian’s hilarity won the hearts of fans and critics alike. Growing old comes with its fair share of struggles, and the actor is no different; he has dealt with health issues that prompted him to change his lifestyle.
When Biggins was diagnosed with diabetes, he chose to cut down his sugar intake while sticking to a healthier diet and throwing in some gym workouts. The regimen seems to be working wonders, as the television presenter looks dapper and boyish.
Felicity Kendal – The Good Life, 74

If you see Felicity Kendal, you might mistake her for a fifty-year-old; that is how much the famed actress doesn’t look her age! Despite being 70 plus, Kendal is among the few women among her peers who have taken care of her body through exercises and maintaining a healthy diet.
However, The Good Life star doesn’t always rely on her natural strong beauty genes. She has also had Botox before and constantly gets a vitamin jab, with Polaris laser treatment helping clear skin spots leaving her with a refined complexion. No wonder Felicity looks so stunning even in her old age!
Martin Shaw – The Professionals, 76

For a very long time, we have all wondered how Martin Shaw manages to have the skin of a twenty-year-old despite being in his seventies. Luckily, the famous actor revealed his secrets, and it’s something we can all do. After a mugging incident that left him needing a cheekbone replacement, the star chose to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle while quitting smoking.
Apart from that, The Professionals performer is also an outdoor activity enthusiast, having earned his pilot and motorbike licenses that he puts into good use. We bet his yoga instructor wife also helps keep Martin in the great shape that we all envy.
Michael Praed – Robin of Sherwood, 61

Michael Praed shot to fame after delivering a breathtaking performance on the Robin of Sherwood series, which led to him landing subsequent leading roles in film and theater. Despite being in his sixties, the silver-haired lad looks like he’s just starting his modeling career with his smashing looks!
Praed hasn’t shared his lifestyle’s inner workings that ensure he looks younger than his actual years. Hopefully, with so many people highly anticipating that information’s release, the Emmerdale star will sit down and give us his diet and the products he uses sometime soon.
Judi Trott – Robin of Sherwood, 58

Judi Trott has wowed the masses throughout her career with memorable performances, but what baffles her fans most is her capability of staying girlish, despite being in her late fifties. The actress is a pretty private person who doesn’t have social media, so Trott hasn’t shared her secrets to the fantastic complexion she flaunts when in public.
The Robin of Sherwood star seems to be enjoying life away from the cameras, with her latest appearance in the film business coming in 2016. However, considering that Judi hasn’t hung her boots yet, we bet it’s only a matter of time before we see her on our screens again.
Clive Mantle – Robin of Sherwood, 63

From starring in the famous series Robin of Sherwood to landing a role in one of the most revered series globally, Game of Thrones, Clive Mantle has achieved the massive success that most budding actors only dream of in their careers. The star’s been a Hollywood staple for over four decades and doesn’t seem to be aging at all despite the industry’s pressures.
The 6ft 5in hunk is the ultimate aging goal for many men, with his charm, and we wonder what does one need to look this good at sixty? Mantle hasn’t told anyone about his lifestyle, but considering that he’s wealthy, the A-lister can afford a comfortable life.
Mark Ryan – Robin of Sherwood, 64

While many people are struggling with the effects of old age, some, like Mark Ryan, seem to be aging backward. Work and life take a toll on all of us, but the Robin of Sherwood star has somehow managed to stay young, serving us the machismo we’ve all become accustomed to from him.
Mark is a successful actor, and he didn’t rest on his laurels to get to the top, and he’s clearly using the same mindset to take care of himself. Whatever Ryan’s routine is, we hope he lets us in on it, as the results are mind-blowingly good!
Paul Moriarty – The Gentle Touch, 74

Swinging to and fro from a police officer’s role to that of a criminal throughout his television career, Paul Moriarty is highly esteemed for playing Detective Sergeant Jake Barrett in the 1980s leading-edge ITV police series The Gentle Touch. The British actor who stirred millions of audiences with his powerful performance in the BBC’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is also credited for his portrayal of gangster George Palmer in one of the most never-ending soap operas of BBC, EastEnders.
Moriarty’s grim stares and the visage of a cop undeniably scared his wrinkles away to keep him fit and fabulous at every single of his milestones!
Nicholas Day – Minder, 73

The 73-year-old Nicholas Patrick Day, best known for playing Detective Sergeant Michael Morley in the early ’90s comedy-drama series Minder, has enjoyed a successful career.

Jason’s fantastic acting and comedy performances in A Touch of Frost, The Wind in the Willows, and Open All Hours earned him a knighthood in 2005.
Indeed, laughter is the most potent medicine for mind and body, as proved veritably by this British comedian-actor, whose secret to slow-aging is nothing but his undying sense of humor!
Lady Marcia FitzAlan-Howard – The New Statesman, 68

Also known as Marsha Fitzalan, the German actress inspired the late ’80s and early ’90s audiences, starring Sarah B’Stard in the British television comedy satire The New Statesman.

Fitzalan’s prosperous television career includes her appearances in Upstairs, Downstairs, M***** Most Horrid, Under the Hammer and Poirot: Evil Under the Sun.
Maintaining utmost secrecy about her beauty regime, this alluring sexagenarian is living a blissful second marriage with her present husband, Nicholas George.
Michael Troughton – The New Statesman, 66

Michael Troughton is an English writer, teacher, and actor. Most fans don’t know that the performer is one of Patrick Troughton’s sons and is mainly known for playing Piers in the 80s British sitcom The New Statesman.
Although Troughton took a long break from acting in 2002 to provide care for his disabled wife, talk about a devoted partner, the veteran is still as sharp-minded and as charming as when he first joined the movie scene. Now teaching the next generation of physicists at a high school, Troughton has chosen a less public but still remarkable role path to carve.
Rowena Cooper – The Bell, 86

This elegant actress with exquisite features won all our hearts when she debuted on the UK show The Bell in the 70s. Ms. Cooper didn’t slow down afterward either, as she blazed through numerous movie roles and leaving a glowing legacy for other aspiring stars to follow.
Still, as distinguished and ethereal as ever, this award-winning actress shows how timeless elegance works to the newer array of female stars in terms of looks and delivery. Recent paparazzi shots show the stately Rowena looking immaculately put-together and chic as always, so here’s to her eternal allure!
John Nettleton – Yes Minister, 92

Who doesn’t remember John Nettleton? The actor, who served an impeccable repertoire playing the Cabinet Secretary on the 80s show Yes Minister despite being very young at the time. The revered Brit performer is also credited for such superb roles as Sir Stephen Baxter in The New Statesman and Mr. Burril in East of Ipswich.
This well-established actor will soon be approaching a century. Nettleton has been quite mysterious about the life secrets he applies to his daily routine to help him stay active and fit way past his prime. But we suspect that a passion for his profession maybe John’s secret.
Vivien Heilbron – Sunset Song, 76

Ms. Heilbron was born to Scottish parents in Glasglow; the actress was a Dundee Repertory Theatre company member as early as the mid-60s. Vivien rose to fame when she first appeared in the BBC television adaptation of Sunset Song in 1971.
Sought after for her beauty and talent, the Emmy Award-nominee went on the star in other classic movies such as Moonstone, Target, and Kidnapped. Still, as enchanting as ever, the actress often admits to being nostalgic about her time playing Chris Guthrie. Charismatic and charming even in her golden years, Vivien is currently teaching practical Shakespeare at Cambridge University.
Barbara Knox – Coronation Street, 87

It seems the cast members of Coronation Street have access to some mysterious power as they seem to be younger than their birth records. Barbara Knox has been on the show for several decades and is very much active to date.
Surprisingly Knox is just a few years shy of 90, but the leading lady is yet to show any aging signs or slowing down. In fact, some might argue her performances have been getting more and more intense in recent years, making us wonder whether the script is a secret spell. Looking up Barbara’s recent images will surprise you since she doesn’t look a day over 50.
Sue Nicholls – Coronation Street, 77

Hear us out; if you fear aging, Coronation Street is where it’s at or isn’t, for that matter. Just look at Sue Nicholls, the next cast member on our radar. Apparently, this lady is 77 years old, but lo and behold, she looks younger than some of our workmates.
Moreover, Sue has been gracing our screens since the ’70s making her a walking unicorn. Fans of the show have grown up watching her but are yet to compute just how young Nicholls looks for her age. We are starting to believe the cameras on set have a time-reversal device that allows their subjects such a privilege.
Jean Boht – Bread, 89

Fans will never forget Jean Boht for her beloved role in the BBC sitcom Bread, which aired from 1986 to 1991, delivering the starlet into the eyes of the general public. Since then, Jean has appeared in numerous TV shows and films, always looking charming!
With a bright name in the industry at an impressive age like hers, the legendary actress has not ceased acting, and what’s more shocking is that Boht’s has held on to that tremendous personal charm since her younger days. Hopefully, this established and revered showbiz veteran will share some of her well-being secrets with the public one day.
Fiona Mollison – Strangers, 67

Fiona Mollison’s secret is straightforward – work, do some yoga and exercise, move to your hobby and repeat the cycle. Despite being in her late sixties, Fionna revealed the answer to the question of how she manages to stay pretty. When she’s not working, the actress is either doing something active or keeping her brain engaged with interior designs. Doesn’t this sound like the most effortless healthy lifestyle routine ever?
The fit and stunning actress became popular for embodying WDC Vanessa Bennett’s character in the series Strangers from 1978 to 1982 for delivering the role excellently, as only she could have. The years since have only brought Mollison more success.
Jane Merrow – Lorna Doone, 79

To be active in an industry that’s as demanding as Hollywood is for over six decades isn’t an easy feat to achieve, and Jane Merrow has somehow managed to do precisely that. The actress looks dashing despite being in her late seventies, and we wonder what her skincare routine and diet are, as she doesn’t look anything like her peers.
Merrow is a household name in the film industry, having risen to fame after landing the lead role in the Lorna Doone series, which subsequently led to her appearing in countless movies and television shows both in Britain and the United States.
Hugh Laurie – A Bit of Fry and Laurie, 61

Laurie first received acclaim for his work as one half of the comedic act Fry and Laurie with his equally humorous partner Stephen Fry. The British sketch show titled A Bit of Fry and Laurie ran for six years. Today, Hugh is also an accomplished writer and musician.
The excellent part is Laurie is still as physically striking as ever and has refused to age. The star of the medical drama House has taken up diving, and no doubt this fun sport has helped keep him in top shape. Men in their 60s have rarely looked better, so here’s to you, Hugh!
Judi Bowker – The Adventures of Black Beauty, 67

We do not expect every young person to be familiar with Judi Bowker, but there’s no telling the older generation would not know the famous actress whose popularity grew after she played a role in the series The Adventures of Black Beauty.
Since appearing on the show, The Clash of the Titans star has not hit the brakes for a minute. Perhaps even more intriguing is how today we see Bowker onscreen looking younger than ever – Leading us to conclude that if Judi still looks this charming in her seventies, then maybe age has nothing on the star after all.
Helen Worth – Coronation Street, 70

Helen Worth is one of the eldest British TV members, and her career has been very colorful. After featuring in various plays and theater productions, she landed her iconic role as Gail on Coronation Street back in 1974. That is where Helen found a home and is yet to bow out.
Despite clocking seven decades on this planet, the actress is still as youthful as ever and has even stated she doesn’t intend to quit her TV role. Moreover, it seems the more drama Gail finds herself embroiled in; the younger Helen looks – Some magic is surely afoot here, and maybe one day we’ll find the spell.
