1944 Connie Booth – British actress (Fawlty Towers, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s and Now for Something Completely Different, The Buccaneers, Monty Python’s Flying Circus)

She's 84??? Doesn't seem possible.











1970 Minnie Driver - British actress (The Politician's Wife, Goldeneye, Goodwill Hunting, An Ideal Husband)


She's also in one of my new favorite movie, The Beekeeper with Jason Statham. If you like action movies I'd highly recomend it.
