List of people born 1940 or earlier who are acting legends living as of 24/9/2020.



Of course this list is very subjective and I prefer adding ones I saw and especially ones I love for awhile. However, there are certain people that I didn't see yet, but still know they have to be here to make a proper list. I also welcome suggestions.





To make it more easy to locate someone, I decided to put them in the order by date of birth.

2020 waiting list. These actors and actresses will hopefully turn 80 during 2020 and will be added (suggest someone if you like):Connie Booth James Cromwell Michael Gambon Terry Gilliam Marlene Jobert Sam Waterson*** French theater and voice-over actress Renee Simonot was born on 10th of September 1911 and is thus, the oldest living actor. She is also known as the mother of cinematic diva Catherine Deneuve. However, as Simonot doesn't have her own IMDb page, she isn't listed here.*** Japanese actor Katsumi Tezuka as born on 31st of August 1912 and is known for his portrayal of Godzilla in the original 1954 film as well as several sequels. However, his whereabouts are unknown since the 1970s and he might or might not actually be alive today.
