Elaine Lordan – Age 54

Where’s Elaine Lordan now, you wonder? Once known as one of the stars of the TV series Gimme Gimme Gimme and the soap opera EastEnders, Lordan has decided to withdraw from the public eye in 2008, following a series of tragedies that she documented in her autobiography Whatever It Takes: A Story of Family Survival.

Lordan’s life hasn’t been easy: she lost both her parents (to suicide and a degenerative illness), and she lost two baby children, all in the space of a few months. Not much is known about her now, but we can easily tell she’s managed to continue to look pretty good, even past the age of 50.
