Faye. Evil lives forever.

R4 Faye isnt a baby boomer (1945 to 1964). She's a member of the silent generation (1928 and 1945)!

Sigourney is a good guess. Raised in wealth and had early success, so very little stress. Doesn't seem to agonize over career so, again, low stress. Always thin but didn't seem anorexic. No tales of drinking or drugging. Steady marriage for years, right? Unless she has bad genes, and, judging from her appearance at the Oscars last week, she doesn't, she should live a long life.

Geena Davis looked great at the oscars. The weird work settled.

Faye would say otherwise, r5.

For men, have a feeling that Jeff Bridges will be long-lived.

And Glenn will finally win her first Oscar at 95 for a musical remake of The Whales of August!

(She should already have three.)

Dolly Parton is the new Betty White, beloved by all, talented, fake and more durable than anyone!

Clint Howard, for sure.

R15 I suspect Sally has other health issues in addition to her osteoporosis. I have the feeling that at best she will live to her mid 80s.

agree with Cher, her mother is in her 90s and doing well

by Anonymousreply 24February 18, 2020 11:37 PM

If we're including men on the list, I'd agree with R10 about Jeff Bridges. He seems well liked, easy going, continues to get work in quality films, takes on diverse roles and continues to get accolades and recognition.

I'd also include Christopher Plummer. Still appearing regularly in good films, playing different types of characters, also still getting nominations and awards. Plus he's Canadian!

Forrest Whitaker.

Sigourney Weaver, Glenn Close, Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, Julianne Moore will still be getting roles in their 80s because we forget it's them when they're on the screen.

“Sigourney Weaver, Glenn Close, Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, Julianne Moore will still be getting roles in their 80s because we forget it's them when they're on the screen.“

We do? I don’t. Lange especially never melts into a role for me...her face and her voice are way too distinctive and she cannot alter her wavering voice. All of them do transform into their characters, but I never forget I am watching the great actress ______.

Two actresses who really do melt away into their roles for me are Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger, and I am especially impressed because both have royally fucked up their faces with alterations. But they just become other people onscreen.

Sissy Spacek.

I agree OP; it’s Glenn Close.

G will cling to life until they give her an honorary Oscar just for being old and still breathing. It's her only chance.
