10. Doris Day – 89 Years Old
Doris Day is one of the biggest named celebrities ever to walk the earth. Day became a hit in 1945 with her song “Sentimental Journey”, and she wouldn’t look back for many, many years. She went to movies in the late 40s and, soon after, was a massive success in that industry as well, acting in classics like Teacher’s Pet and Pillow Talk.
She’s received just about every lifetime achievement award you can win, and she’s recognized as one of the greatest stars we’ve ever seen. While it’s been many years since she’s been in film, Day released an album in 2011 at the age of 89.
If you’re counting, that would put her at 94 (though Day claims that she is only 92, that cheeky bird). She remains a national icon and even if you don’t know who she is or what she’s done, you almost certainly know her name.
