Olivia Newton-John
This English-Australian singer, songwriter and actress is the epitome of excellence. While we know her from films like ‘Grease’ and ‘Xanadu’, Olivia is also a four time Grammy award winner. She is also a long time environmentalist and animal rights activist. After she survived breast cancer in 1982, she became a health advocate for various fundraisers and charities.
Catherine Bach
Bach is most notably known for her role as Daisy Duke in the former hit TV show ‘The Dukes Of Hazzard’. Fun fact for you, while filming the show, her legs were actually insured for $1,000,000. Crazy. In 2002 she even launched her own jewelry diamond line at Debenhams. Do you think she’d share some makeup tips with me?
Jane Fonda
Of course Jane Fonda makes the list, as if there was any doubt she wouldn’t. Let’s Fonda is an actress, writer, political activist, fitness guru, and a former fashion model. She’s a two time Academy Award winner and a two time BAFTA Award winner because duh, she’s Jane Fonda. She has been in loads of great films since 60s folks and she is not going anywhere anytime soon, that’s for sure. And she definitely doesn’t need any weightloss programs as she’s the biggest health nut there is.
Sissy Spacek
I still get nightmares watching Sissy Spacek’s role in the super scary Stephen King novel turned film Carrie. She would carry on to star in some pretty major films and was even nominated for Oscars. She did win a couple Academy Awards though which is a great honor. She is currently starring in the Netflix original series ‘Bloodline.’
Lynda Carter
I absolutely adore Lynda Carter, her portrayal as Wonder Woman has influenced woman all over the globe. Carter is also a singer, songwriter and she was crowned Miss World America 1972. She has been starring in films and TV shows on and off, currently she has a reoccurring roles as the President of the United States in hit TV show Supergirl.
Diane Keaton
Miss Diane Keaton is a freaking goddess. She’s royalty. She is more than just an actress, she’s also an accomplished producer, directer, photographer, real estate developer, author, and occasional singer. She is adored by many fans and respected by many Hollywood greats. She’s taken comedic roles, tragic roles, serious roles, and so on, she never wanted to be known as a specific character or role but rather her versatility. She’s won Academy Awards, Golden Globes and so many more. She is an inspiration to so many.
Diana Rigg
Mostly everyone now knows Diana Rigg as Olenna Tyrell on the very popular HBO series “Game of Thrones”! Rigg has spent a lot of time starring in all kinds of big and small screen productions.
Jane Seymour
This British-American actress is known for her portrayal as the ultimate Bond Girl from the Bond film Live and Let Die. She carried on to star in some pretty spectacular films and even some successful tv shows. One of her most notable features is something called heterochromia, which makes her left eye green and her right eye brown.
Helen Mirren
Dame Helen Mirren is royalty, no doubt about it. She is ONE of the few actresses in history to win an Emmy, Tony, and Academy Award making her a true historical figure. Mirren’s influence and contributions to the whole acting community continue to be felt amongst generations. She is a real inspiration to many.
Maggie Smith
How could we ever forget Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter, oh that’s right, we can’t! For over 60 years now, Maggie has been taking the acting world by storm. And we couldn’t be more in awe. Currently she has a huge role in the BBC hit series Downtown Abbey.
Sally Field
She started off as an actress and eventually became a director, not bad. Sally has won countless awards for all her work and in 2014, she even got her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Trust us, she isn’t slowing down any time soon.
Faye Dunaway
Faye Dunaway is just fantastic, she started off her career on Broadway before switching to film. And she wasn’t afraid to take on controversial, tough roles such as portraying Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. She tends to be very quite and keeps her life out of the limelight as much as possible.
Jessica Lange
Minnesota born and bred, this multiple award winning actress, photographer (with three published works) and producer is one of the best of her time. She has done work in film, television and theatre, a real triple threat. Most of us are more familiar with her current work on TV hit American Horror Story but she has some serious credentials backing her up. She was also a foster parent and currently she holds a Goodwill Ambassador position for UNICEF where she specializes in AIDS/HIV in Russia and in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Angharad Rees
Rees was a great actress who was also a jewelry designer. Pretty neat. She would have gone on to do great film performances but she retired when she had her children. Sadly in 2012, she tragically passed away from pancreatic cancer.
Martha Stewart
Long before Martha Stewart became a lifestyle queen and mega-mogul, Martha was actually a profitable and sought after model. She also went Barnard College a year after she got married and graduated with a double major in History and Architectural History. Even after her stock trading conviction, Martha bounced back and her company is more profitable than ever.
Raquel Welch
At 75 years old Welch shows us she’s the definition of timeless beauty. The all-American actress and singer was more than just a pretty face, as she wowed the world one song and movie at a time.
Brigitte Bardot
This beauty is incredible, she’s not just a French actress but also a singer and fashion model, who later became an animal rights activist. In the 50s and 60s, she was actually well known as a sex symbol and most people referred to her as B.B., her initials.
Katey Sagal
No way we could not include the only Katey Sagal on this list, she’s not just an actress folks, she’s also a singer-songwriter. She’s starred as the powerful role model in many TV shows like Married…with Children, 8 Simple Rules, and Sons of Anarchy. In 2014 she got her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Molly Ringwald
Everyone’s favorite actress following hit films ‘Sixteen Candles’ and ‘The Breakfast Club’. Did you know that she actually turned down lead roles in ‘Pretty Woman’ and ‘Ghost’? She has slowed down her own acting career because she wanted to but we certainly don’t mind sitting back and watching the classics.
Heather Locklear
Of course this blonde bombshell makes the list. Locklear is best known for her role in Melrose Place and her four consecutive Golden Globe nominations, but Heather is still acting today, though mostly in TV productions.
Audrey Hepburn
If only I could have had ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ with this iconic and legendary star. Hepburn is commonly regarded as a classic beauty with eons of style and grace. And honestly, who could disagree with that? She was more than just an actress though, she was also a huge humanitarian. she was well known as a film and fashion icon and she was even ranked third-greatest female screen legend.
Sophia Loren
After entering a beauty pageant at age 15, she was encouraged to try her hand at acting. Even at a young age, she didn’t need any makeup tips or weightloss programs – that lucky devil. And boy did she make the right decision. This Italian bombshell even won an Academy Award for all her work. Today she is considered to be one of the most prominent women in Hollywood, ever. She is a true talent.
Lauren Bacall
Lauren Bacall is known for her sultry looks and distinctive voice, anyone can attest to that. The American Film Institute even named her the 20th greatest female star of classic Hollywood. Now that’s quite the achievement. She may have started off her career as a model but she molded her film and Broadway career into stardom. Sadly just before her 90th birthday, Lauren passed away from a stroke.
Ursula Andress
This Swiss TV and film actress took the world by storm when she landed her first role as the first ever Bond girl. It was that film that launched her acting career into such great success. She would go on to pose nude for ‘Playboy’ magazine seven times and when asked why, she said, “Because I’m beautiful.” Yeah you are!
Jenny Agutter

Most will remember Erin Moran as Joanie Cunningham from ‘Happy Days’ and the spin-off ‘Joanie Loves Chachi.’ Since then, she has had some roles in TV shows but not much.
Cybill Shepard
Talk about talented, this Southern belle is an actress, a model and a singer. She has starred in countless films and has gone on to win Emmys and Academy Awards but it’s her work as an advocate for gay rights and abortion rights that has made her a true champion.
