Maggie Smith – Age 86

Maggie Smith has been in the acting industry since the ’50s. But to modern audiences, she will go down as Transfiguration Professor Minerva McGonagall, who taught Harry Potter and his band of friends the Wingardium Leviosa incantation. But of course, that isn’t the only thing she’s done since 1952.

Her acting CV includes over 60 movies and 70 stage theater productions. These include “Death on the Nile,” an Agatha Christie adaptation, and the 1981 version of “Clash of the Titans.” She has also starred in the series and film version of “Downton Abbey” and has won two Oscars. She also has a role in the 2021 film “A Boy Called Christmas.”
