Some of the Golden Age actors of Hollywood are still around today. Sure, many have retired after years of success, but there are those who continue to look for ways to be involved in the industry. We’ve put together a list of some of the oldest living actors in the profession and what they’re doing now.
Clint Eastwood at 95: The Hollywood Legend Still Making Movies
Even at the age of 95, Western film legend Clint Eastwood hasn’t stopped making movies…though he now prefers to be behind the camera rather than in front of it. That said, his most recent acting job was in the 2021 Western drama Cry Macho, so he’s still open to returning to the spotlight if the right role comes along.
Dick Van Dyke at 100: Still Dancing, Acting, and Stealing the Spotlight
Dick Van Dyke is still one of Hollywood’s coolest actors. In fact, the 100-year-old actor, famous for his roles inMary Poppins and The Dick Van Dyke Show, recently appeared barefoot and dancing in Coldplay’s All My Love music video. The video was a tribute to the acting legend who turned 100 years old last December. If you follow him on social media, you’ll know he’s still meant to be in front of the camera.
Estelle Parsons at 98: The Oscar Winner Still Acting on TV and Stage
After six and a half decades of performing, Estelle Parsons still hasn’t let her age slow her down. You may be surprised to know that the 98-year-old actress is still flexing her comedic muscles on shows like The Conners and even using her voice to bring to life characters like Bibi from the Around the Sun podcast series. But having earned an Oscar for her role in Bonnie and Clyde and gone on to make a name for herself in comedy, Parsons has proven she’s an acting legend.
James Hong at 97: The 600-Credit Actor Still Dominating Hollywood
James Hong has starred in more than 600 films and television series throughout his lifetime and still doesn’t seem anywhere close to retirement. The 97-year-old actor still gets to entertain young fans as the voice of Mr Ping in the Kung Fu Panda series and recently demonstrated his acting chops in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Hong’s influence in the entertainment business is definitely still felt.
Lisa Lu at 99: Oldest Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Still Acting Today
At 99 years old, Lisa Lu became the oldest person to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (2025). The Asian actress has still been very active in the industry, including a memorable role as the slightly intimidating head of the Young family in the 2018 film Crazy Rich Asians.
Mel Brooks at 99: Comedy Legend Returning for the Spaceballs Sequel
Actor and Comedian Mel Brooks is still making people laugh at the age of 99. The industry veteran is even slated to reprise his role as Yogurt in the upcoming Spaceballs sequel expected to arrive in 2027. Seems “the Schwartz” is still with him.
Michael Caine at 93: He Recently Came Out Of Retirement
Sir Michael Caine has one of the most impressive and diverse filmographies in Hollywood. Luckily for fans, the English actor is still taking on new projects (even if he reportedly retired). His next role is set to be alongside Vin Diesel in The Last Witch Hunter 2. Even if the movie itself doesn’t live up to expectations, you always know Caine’s performance will be top-notch.
Rosemary Harris at 98: Spider-Man’s Aunt May Still Performing Today
Some know Rosemary Harris as Aunt May from the Spider-Man movies, while others know her from her extensive stage career, but no matter how you came to know her, we can all agree she’s a more than capable veteran actress. Although she may not be as busy in the industry as she once was, the 98-year-old English actress has never formally retired and is still performing on stage and on screen.
William Shatner at 94: Still Boldly Going Where No Man Has Gone Before
Canadian actor William Shatner has a career spanning seven decades, although most of us remember him best for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise. In fact, the 94-year-old actor has openly shared that he would be happy to reprise the iconic role if the script was compelling enough. That said, he has continued on with various other projects in the meantime. Clearly, Shatner’s goal is to “live long and prosper”.
June Lockhart (1925–2025): Celebrating a 100-Year Hollywood Legacy
June Lockhart, at 100 years old, may be retired from acting, but she has left an incredible legacy in the entertainment industry. With an almost nine-decade career (yes, she began performing at the young age of 8), she has several classic hits to her name. Think fan-faves like A Christmas Carol, Meet Me in St. Louis, and Lassie. Update: Lockhart passed away at age 100 on October 23, 2025.
