Just days after turning 96, Clint Eastwood\u2019s son, Kyle Eastwood, confirmed his dad\u2019s retirement from acting and directing, bringing an extraordinary seven-decade career to a close. The news is a reminder that some of cinema\u2019s oldest stars are still with us \u2014 and many are still working well into their 90s. They continue to prove that age is no barrier to staying active in Hollywood. Here is a list of some of the oldest living actors in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
Mel Brooks, 99<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n![\"Mel](\"https:\/\/www.fortressofsolitude.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Mel-Brooks-Dracula-Dead-and-Loving-It.jpg\")

The industry veteran is even slated to reprise his role as Yogurt in the upcoming Spaceballs sequel expected to arrive in 2027. Seems \u201cthe Schwartz\u201d is still with him.<\/p>\n
Dick Van Dyke, 100<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n![\"Dick-Van-Dyke-at-Gym\"](\"https:\/\/www.fortressofsolitude.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dick-Van-Dyke-at-Gym.jpg\")

In fact, the 100-year-old actor, famous for his roles in Mary Poppins and The Dick Van Dyke Show, recently appeared barefoot and dancing in Coldplay\u2019s All My Love music video. The video was a tribute to the acting legend who turned 100 years old last December. If you follow him on social media, you\u2019ll know he\u2019s still meant to be in front of the camera.<\/p>\n
William Shatner, 95<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n![\"William](\"https:\/\/www.fortressofsolitude.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/William-Shatner.jpg\")

In fact, the 94-year-old actor <\/a>has openly shared that he would be happy to reprise the iconic role if the script was compelling enough. That said, he has continued on with various other projects in the meantime. Clearly, Shatner\u2019s goal is to \u201clive long and prosper\u201d.<\/p>\nMichael Caine, 93<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n![\"Michael](\"https:\/\/www.fortressofsolitude.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Michael-Caine.jpg\")

Luckily for fans, the English actor is still taking on new projects (even if he reportedly retired). His next role is set to be alongside Vin Diesel in The Last Witch Hunter 2. Even if the movie itself doesn\u2019t live up to expectations, you always know Caine\u2019s performance will be top-notch.<\/p>\nJames Hong, 97<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n![\"James](\"https:\/\/www.fortressofsolitude.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/James-Hong.jpg\")

The 97-year-old actor still gets to entertain young fans as the voice of Mr Ping in the Kung Fu Panda series and recently demonstrated his acting chops in Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/a>. Hong\u2019s influence in the entertainment business is definitely still felt.<\/p>\nEstelle Parsons, 98<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n![\"Estelle](\"https:\/\/www.fortressofsolitude.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Estelle-Parsons.jpg\")

You may be surprised to know that the 98-year-old actress is still flexing her comedic muscles on shows like The Conners and even using her voice to bring to life characters like Bibi from the Around the Sun podcast series. But having earned an Oscar for her role in Bonnie and Clyde and gone on to make a name for herself in comedy, Parsons has proven she\u2019s an acting legend.<\/p>\n
Rosemary Harris, 98<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n![\"Rosemary](\"https:\/\/www.fortressofsolitude.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rosemary-Harris-Aunt-May-Parker.jpg\")

Although she may not be as busy in the industry as she once was, the 98-year-old English actress has never formally retired and is still performing on stage and on screen.<\/p>\n
Lisa Lu, 99<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n![\"Lisa](\"https:\/\/www.fortressofsolitude.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Lisa-Lu.jpg\")
