Gwyneth Powell – Grange Hill – Age 74

One of the stars who stayed the longest on the show Grange Hill was Gwyneth Powell, who played headmistress Bridget McClusky for ten years. After the kids’ show, the Manchester-born actress continued to expand her resumé by joining series like House of Anubis, The Gemma Factor, and Man Down.

Now 74, Powell seems to have hit the brakes on acting as we last saw her in the show Doctors in 2019. She is also successful in keeping her life away from the prying eyes and doesn’t even have verified social media accounts for her fans to check on.
