Actress and Activist

If you think the glory days are long behind you, these fabulously famous senior citizens should prove you wrong. Some are famous for acting or singing while others are known for activism and philanthropy, but they all have something in common: they reached their prime after the age of 50.

Jane Fonda has done a bit of everything. She started her career as a model and actress and later became a writer and fitness star. Her biggest controversies, however, involve her outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. Fonda is also a feminist who protests gender stereotypes and violence against women.
