Aishwarya-Updated Jan 3, 2023

When a person reaches the age of 70, it is safe to say that they have fully experienced life in its good and bad days.
They have seen and experienced a lifetime's worth of memories and enjoyed changing time and technology to their fullest extent.
When an actor reaches 70 years, it is a much more profound experience as they have overcome the ups and downs of fame, popularity, and in some cases, wealth and fortunes.
Today, we are here with a list of actors in their 70s. These actors were born at a time when olden-day chivalry, curtsey and good manners were still in style.
A man would have to stand up when a woman joined the table or left. People would curtsey or bow when in the presence of nobility and royalty.
It is safe to say that this list of actors are the most charming of the lot and, at the same time, the most jaded of the lot.
Whichever way we look at it, they deserve the due respect and recognition for surviving in an industry that is obsessed with youth and vitality.
