Anne Reid – Newcastle, 86

Coming from a family of journalists, the charming Anne Reid opted for a career in acting instead, and we are glad she did. Imagine being robbed of some incredible performances Reid is famous for, beginning with her fascinating portrayal of Valerie Tatlock in the popular sitcom of the ‘60s, Coronation Street, which made her a household name.

After a decade of playing a fan favorite, the Dinnerladies actress took a break to raise her son, Mark. It came as no surprise when Anne returned in the ‘80sto bag challenging roles in tv shows and films. At 86, Reid enthralls us in a thriller, SAS: Red Notice, and we want more!
