Shining Stars Of The Golden Age Who Prove Age Is Just A Number
Derek Jacobi – London, 84
There’s no denying that Derek Jacobi is one of the United Kingdom’s national treasures. He is a multi-awarded actor who has appeared in numerous theater productions, movies, and television shows. A founding member of the Royal National Theater, Jacobi mainly starred in William Shakespeare’s plays, as well as Anton Chekov’s ‘Uncle Vanya’ and Edmond Rostand’s ‘Cyrano de Bergerac.’
The latter won him his first Laurence Olivier award. The tenured actor’s love for the craft began in high school, becoming an integral part of The Players of Leyton, Leyton County High School’s drama club. It was announced in 2021 that the star is part of the cast of ‘Allelujah,’ which means he is far from retirement.
