 In celebrity stardom, young female stars such as Jennifer Lawrence are often the spotlight. But it’s our original leading ladies that show us the true meaning of beauty. Our article highlights 10 women over the age of 70 that prove age is just a number! These gorgeous leading ladies demonstrate that when it comes to beauty, sensationalism is out and refined elegance is in. These celebrity bombshells, who also happen to be seniors, still take our breath away to this day. Many lessons can be taught from these aging celebrities—considering many of these stars share similar life stories of everyday seniors.

Oh Betty! She has Lifetime Achievement awards from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), the American Comedy Awards, and the British Academy of Film and Television.

This bombshell got her start working with the legendary director Alfred Hitchcock. 69 movies and 1 star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later, MacLaine’s still got it.

Jane Fonda’s always busy. Actress, author, and activist, she co-founded the Women’s Media Center in 2005. Oh, and she stars in Aaron Sorkin’s Newsroom.

Husky-voiced Lauren Bacall‘s got a long list of honors attached to her name, including a Tony, several BAFTAs, and even a National Book Award. Beauty AND brains!

She’s only 73, but Rock-and-Roll Hall of Famer and eight-time Grammy winner Tina’s a couple of years ahead of her time. Her legs are insured for more than $3 million. (Rihanna’s pins are only insured for $1 million.) Tina’s simply the best!

British chanteuse Julie Andrews was not only Maria in The Sound of Music, she is also the author of 24 books. Who cares if she lost out on My Fair Lady to Audrey Hepburn? She’s still our pick for fairest of them all.

Brooklyn-born Joan Rivers has been pushing the envelope since her career began. Her snappy persona and hilarious one-liners have made her an iconic funny-woman and author. Catch her on E! Fashion Police!

If you went to high school in America, you probably read To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s Harper Lee’s only public work, but the novel’s got staying power and so does Harper: this hot 75+ year old enjoys life away from the glitz and glam of superstardom.

The glamorous Toni Morrison is best known for her vivid, captivating novels about black life through the ages. She’s also the 2012 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 

Actress Judi is beloved both in her native Britain and around the world. Just ask Queen Elizabeth II. In 1970, 1988, and 2005 respectively, Judi was awarded an Officer, a Dame Commander, and a Companion of Honor in the British Empire.
