Anita Dobson – EastEnders – Age 71

Many know Anita Dobson as Den Watt’s long-suffering wife, Angie, on EastEnders but she’s more than just that. For starters, she’s got a hit song under her belt. She released the single, Anyone Can Fall in Love, in the ‘80s and peaked at number four on the United Kingdom Singles Chart.

Her connection to music continues with her choice of husband, too. She is married to rock star Brian May of the band Queen. The pair wed in 2000 and is still going strong. Dobson seems to be taking things slow in the acting department, though. She hasn’t appeared in anything since The Worst Witch and Adopted in 2019.
