Barbara Knox – Lancashire, 87
Process this: Barbara Knox is 87 and is the longest starring actor in a sitcom. She was the soap legend Rita Sullivan in the iconic television series Coronation Street for 59 years. Still, the beautiful actress never loses sleep over a forgotten line or fear she may get written off the show! But it seems like the audience wishes to see Knox continue to grace us with her presence in the long-running smash hit.
Even though she made her stage debut at the age of 29, Barbara managed to win many notable awards for her performance in Coronation Street, and it keeps her busy even to date.
