Hollywood’s Oldest Surviving Stars Prove That Age Is Just a Number
Ann Blyth – 95 Years Old
Meet Ann Blyth, Hollywood’s original whirlwind in pigtails. At 16, she stole the show (and an Oscar nomination) as the scheming Veda in “Mildred Pierce.” Talk about a baptism by fire! This creative powerhouse could play sweet and innocent like spun sugar, then turn on the villainy with equal finesse. Remember that dazzling technicolor musical “Kismet”? Hers was the voice that could melt glaciers. And in “Our Very Own,” Ann delivered drama with a punch that could knock out a prizefighter.
She even conquered the stage and TV, a genuine ‘triple threat’ before anyone knew what that meant. Ann has traded scripts for paintbrushes these days, enjoying her golden years.
