#22: Shirley MacLaine
Age: 91
Across film, television, and stage, Shirley MacLaine carved out a career defined by curiosity and independence. From The Apartment to Terms of Endearment, she balanced comedy and drama with sharp intelligence, becoming one of Hollywood’s most distinctive and outspoken leading women.

These days, MacLaine lives largely out of the spotlight. She writes, reflects, and speaks candidly about aging, spirituality, and her unconventional life. Unfiltered and unapologetic, she remains admired not just for her performances, but for a lifelong refusal to conform to expectation.
