Sure, Hollywood may seem eternally taken with the next young hot thing, but it\u2019s also plenty supportive of stars with decades under their belts \u2014 well, so long as they\u2019re Oscar-winning queens like Dame Helen Mirren<\/a><\/strong> and Jane Fonda<\/a><\/strong> or iconic action heroes like Harrison Ford<\/a><\/strong> and Clint Eastwood<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Now in their eighth decade and beyond, legendary actors like these are not only still prominent in the entertainment industry but seemingly not slowing down anytime soon. Look at the recently minted octogenarian Mirren (who turned the big 8-0 on July 26), whose IMDb page looks more booked-and-busy than most of her more bright-eyed and bushy-tailed counterparts. This year alone, the acclaimed actress popped up in the main casts of two prominent Paramount+ series \u2014 the Yellowstone<\/a> prequel 1923 (as Cara Dutton, alongside fellow 80-and-over superstar Ford) and the British crime drama MobLand (as Maeve Harrigan, opposite 72-year-old youngster Pierce Brosnan<\/a><\/strong>) \u2014 as well as the star-studded crime comedy The Thursday Murder Club.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac<\/strong> SIGN UP for Parade\u2019s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a> \ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s not a shock that older actors like Mirren and Co. consistently put in great work \u2014\u00a0 these people have maintained long and productive careers across stage and screen, with a vast number of acting credits to their names. The Thursday Murder Club director Chris Columbus<\/strong>, who worked with Mirren as well as Ben Kingsley<\/strong>, Celia Imrie<\/strong> and Jonathan Pryce<\/strong>, in the new film, said that having such established performers on set was \u201ca dream come true.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Talking with Parade, Columbus shared: \u201cThere was a level of professionalism that quite frankly, surprised me. Here were four extraordinarily successful, respected titans of their craft. You wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they had a bit of an attitude or were cynical and jaded about all aspects of the film business. But these actors were deeply committed and passionate, striving every day to do great, meaningful work.\u201d<\/p>\n Nonnas.
