Shining Stars Of The Golden Age Who Prove Age Is Just A Number

Joanna Lumley – Srinagar, 76

Joanna Lumley is far more than just an actress. She was born in India during WWII, and shortly after returning to Britain, she started working as a model and then an actress. Lumley reached stardom with her role as Elaine Parkins in ‘Coronation Street,’ a show that would open the gates for what was to come.

Her prominent roles include 92’s ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ and 2005’s ‘Corpse Bride,’ but there’s much more to the artist. Lumley is also a fervent civil rights activist, becoming the face of the Gurkha Justice Campaign. Her commitment as an artist and activist led her to be appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
