Wow, what an impressive lineup of talented individuals! It's amazing to see all of these accomplished people in one list. I have to say, it's pretty incredible that Herb Jeffries is still going strong at 98 years old. And Sheila MacRae at 85? That's impressive!I also didn't realize that Sonny Turner from The Platters was already 70. Time really does fly. And it's always great to see musicians like Gerry Marsden and Barbara Allbut still making music and performing.It's also interesting to see some non-entertainment figures on the list, like Pro Football Hall of Famers John Mackey and Joe Greene, and former U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy II. It just goes to show that success can come in many different forms.I have to admit, I'm a little jealous of Nia Vardalos at 47. She's not only a talented actress, but also a successful writer. And of course, I can't forget about Kevin Sorbo, who will always be Hercules in my mind.Overall, it's great to see such a diverse group of individuals achieving success in their respective fields. It's a reminder that age is just a number and it's never too late to pursue your passions.
