Actresses in their 50s and 60s

Shutterstock The only thing more inspiring than a great success story is a great success story that happened later in one's life. There's something uniquely inspiring about stars who didn't become famous overnight but rather saw their persistence finally pay off well into their careers. And there are plenty of those in Hollywood. Actors like Steve

Carell, Viola Davis, and Samuel L. Jackson¡ªall ubiquitous in Hollywood today¡ªpounded away at their craft for what probably felt like a lifetime before striking it big. Even major TV hosts like Martha Stewart lived in relative anonymity until well into middle age. So, to inspire you to never give up on your dreams, here are 40 A-list celebrities who

didn't get famous until after 40. And for stories that are too wild to be true, here are 50 Totally Absurd Celeb Rumors That Some People Really Believe. ShutterstockLarry David got his start as a writer for Saturday Night Live when he was in his late 30s, but he wasn't exactly successful. As he told Vanity Fair, "The sketches would get cut. I only had

one sketch on the entire year." Then, when he turned 42, he co-created Seinfeld, and the rest is TV sitcom history. For some critically acclaimed recommendations, here are 23 Emmy-Winning TV Shows You Can Stream Right Now. ShutterstockViola Davis is the first black actor to earn the Triple Crown of Acting (an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony).

Though the first part of her career took place on the stage, in the late 2000s and early 2010s, when she was in her early 40s, she made it big in Hollywood. With roles in films like Doubt and The Help, and top-billing on ABC's How to Get Away with Murder, Davis solidified herself as a superstar. ShutterstockSamuel L Jackson is a part of the Marvel

Cinematic Universe, the Star Wars franchise, and is a frequent favorite of Quentin Tarantino, so you might think that he's been a silver screen mainstay since, well, forever. But Jackson didn't score his first big role, in Jungle Fever (1991), until he was 43. And he didn't secure his most famous role, as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction (1994), until he

turned 46. For what to watch tonight, These Are the Top-Rated Movies on Rotten Tomatoes. ShutterstockYou might know the explosively hilarious Melissa McCarthy from films like Identify Thief, The Heat, and Spy. (And, if you're a super-fan, you know she had a longtime role on Gilmore Girls.) But it was 2011's Bridesmaids that really catapulted

McCarthy to stardom, and she was 41 when it hit screens. Matteo Chinellato/ShutterstockThe late, great Alan Rickman made a name for himself playing infamous villains (Die Hard, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves), beloved conflicted heroes (the Harry Potter series), and plain old jerks (Love Actually). But before Rickman made it big on-screen, he was

a graphic designer. His first cinematic win¡ªas Hans Gruber, in Die Hard¡ªdidn't occur until he was 42. For more stars who proved their worth, here are 13 Great Oscar-Winning Performances That Still Hold Up. ShutterstockBefore 2014, Leslie Jones was a relatively unknown stand-up comedian. Then, in October of that year, when she was 47, she

became a cast member on Saturday Night Live¡ªone of the most beloved, to boot. In 2018, she even received an Emmy nomination for her work on the show. AlamyThe late Burt Reynolds might have been a major sex symbol, but that vaunted status didn't come until he rounded 40. The Academy Award-nominated actor didn't star in career-making hits

such as Deliverance and Smokey and the Bandit until well into his fifth decade. For more star backstories, here are 25 Celebrities You Didn't Know Had Famous Parents. ShutterstockThough she had minor roles in TV and film over the years, Connie Britton didn't become a household name until she turned 40, when the first season of Friday Night

Lights launched in 2006. (She was also in the 2004 film of the same name.) By the time the series concluded, in 2011, Britton had received two Emmy nominations for her role. She went on to star in the country music drama Nashville. ShutterstockToday, we all know Steve Carell for his eight-year turn as Michael Scott on The Office. But the eventual

Oscar nominee¡ªwho got his big break with the 2005 comedy The 40-Year-Old Virgin¡ªdidn't book his life-changing sitcom role until he turned 43. And for more Hollywood insight, sign up for our daily newsletter. Sterling Munksgard/ShutterstockFew public figures are more prolific than Martha Stewart. In addition to writing more than two dozen

books and headlining The Martha Stewart Show (which came to an end in 2012), she also publishes a magazine (Martha Stewart Living) and stars on a hit VH1 show (Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party). What's more, she even hosted a season of The Apprentice and played a role in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (as is required

of all famous people). But all this didn't come until she passed 40. Her big break, the 1982 book Entertaining, didn't hit shelves until she turned 41! ShutterstockChristoph Waltz had been consistently booking roles in German films and TV shows since the '80s. But the German-Austrian actor didn't enter the international zeitgeist until he turned 53, for

playing Colonel Hans Landa in Quintin Tarantino's Inglorious B*******¡ªa performance that won him an Academy Award. ShutterstockOctavia Spencer booked bit parts in everything from legal dramas (A Time to Kill) to superhero flicks (Spider-Man). But her big break came in 2011, when she won an Oscar for her role in The Help, at the age of 41.

Oh, and Spencer is also a children's book author. Her most recent title, Randi Rhodes, Ninja Detective: The Sweetest Heist in History, came out in 2015. ShutterstockJust as the U.S. version of The Office launched Steve Carell's post-40 career, the original U.K. version did the same for Ricky Gervais, who also co-created it. The now iconic workplace

show premiered when he was 40. Gervais went on to create and star in Extras, Derek, and After Life, among other series. ShutterstockKathy Bates was a major theater actor in the '70s and '80s, and even picked up a Tony nomination along the way (in 1983). But her big Hollywood break didn't come until she was 42, though, when she played a

terrifying kidnapper in the 1990 Stephen King adaptation Misery. ShutterstockComedian Ty Burrell made a name for himself in theater as a Shakespearean actor; among other plays, he had roles in Macbeth, Coriolanus, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, and Henry V. But he became a household name when he booked the role of Phil Dunphy on Modern

Family, at the age of 42. The series ran for 11 years. ShutterstockYes, it feels like Betty White started to bless the world with her comedic chops since before any of us can remember. But the queen of TV didn't get started until she was in her 40s. Before she was on Golden Girls, White earned an Emmy at the age of 53 for her performance as Sue Ann

Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. ShutterstockThe late John Mahoney was already 47 when he got the Clarence Derwent "Most Promising Male Newcomer" Award from his Broadway peers. But while theater fans were familiar with his work, he wouldn't become a household name until he joined the cast of the Cheers spinoff Fraiser in 1987,

taking on the role of Frasier's dad, Martin Crane, when he was 53 years old. ShutterstockJane Lynch was 43 when she landed her first big gig in Christopher Guest's 2000 mockumentary Best in Show, and later gained even more fame after a side-splitting role in The 40-Year-Old Virgin at the age of 45. Today, though, she's probably best known for

playing the sadistic Sue Sylvester on Glee, for which she won an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and a SAG Award. ShutterstockRegis Philbin's career didn't exactly hit the ground running. It wasn't until 1988, when he was 57 years old, that Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee premiered and made him a household name. ShutterstockIn the '70s, Joy Behar

taught English at a high school on Long Island. But in 1997, when she was 55, she joined The View, which she's co-hosted on-and-off ever since. ShutterstockSir Patrick Stewart kicked off his career on the British stage circuit. But he didn't land his first major TV gig¡ªas Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation¡ªuntil he was in his 40s. And

he's since returned to the part that made his name, in the CBS All-Access series dubbed simply Picard. ShutterstockDame Judie Dench also became famous on the stage in England earlier in her career. But she didn't cross the pond and become a Hollywood name until she played M in the James Bond film GoldenEye at age 61. Three years later, she

scored an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love. ShutterstockThough Tommy Lee Jones picked up minor roles throughout the '70s and '80s, it was his turn in 1993's The Fugitive¡ªfor which he received an Oscar nomination¡ªthat really ushered him into stardom. He was 47 at the time. ShutterstockAfter minor appearances on the big and small screens in the

early 2000s¡ªon The Parkers and in The Fighting Temptations¡ªNeNe Leakes gained national fame at 41, thanks to the reality series The Real Housewives of Atlanta. She continues to be an all-time Housewives fan-favorite. ShutterstockBefore Bryan Cranston was Walter White on Breaking Bad, he was Malcolm's dad, Hal, on Malcolm in the Middle.

But even that breakout role didn't come about until he was 44. ShutterstockTV host Wendy Williams started as a shock jock in the Virgin Islands; Washington, D.C.; and New York City before getting her own talk show, The Wendy Williams Show, at 44. In 2009, she was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame. AlamyIn the '50s, the late Rodney

Dangerfield worked as an aluminum siding salesman. Then, in 1967, he gave stand-up a shot. After booking a slot on an episode of The Ed Sullivan Show, he became a sensation at the age of 46; over the following four years, he made more than a dozen appearances on the program, and then went on to film. ShutterstockKim Cattrall booked pretty

impressive parts throughout the '80s, including characters in Police Academy, Big Trouble in Little China, and Mannequin. Her biggest role, however¡ªas Samantha Jones, on Sex in the City¡ªdidn't come about until 1998, when she was 42 years old. ShutterstockIn 1996, Billy Bob Thornton wrote, directed, and starred in Sling Blade. The film won an

Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and also turned Hollywood on to Thornton's talents. He was 41 at the time. Public DomainI Love Lucy, the show that cemented Lucille Ball as comedy royalty, didn't start airing until Ball turned 40. Of course, it kicked off an impressive screen career¡ªincluding the shows Here's Lucy, Life with Lucy, and The Lucy

Show¡ªthat spanned four decades. ShutterstockAirplane!, one of the funniest movies of all time, is Leslie Nielsen's claim to fame. It didn't hit theaters until he was 54. Prior to booking the role of Dr. Rumack, Nielsen was mostly known as a serious, dramatic actor. Airplane! kicked off a comedy career that went on to include the Naked Gun movies and

several parody flicks. ShutterstockAfter decades of success on the stages of London's West End, Helen Mirren finally made it across the pond to star on Broadway in 1994, at the ripe age of 49. Eventually, she crossed over to the big screen with roles in 2001's Gosford Park and 2003's Calendar Girls, both of which came about when she was in her late

50s. And Mirren didn't win her first Oscar¡ªfor her performance as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen, in 2006¡ªuntil she was 61 years old. ShutterstockAng Lee has been directing films since the early '90s, but his breakout hit¡ªCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon¡ªdidn't hit the silver screen until he was in his 40s. Since then, he's won two Academy

Awards for Best Director: one for Brokeback Mountain (2006) and one for Life of Pi (2012). ShutterstockKathryn Bigelow will go down in the history books as the first woman to win an Academy Award for directing, with the critically-acclaimed 2009 war drama The Hurt Locker. Though she was by no means new to Hollywood¡ªshe'd already directed

action flicks like Blue Steel and Point Break¡ªHurt Locker, which Bigelow started directing at age 57, officially launched her into the realm of A-list filmmakers. ShutterstockThough he was well known in England before American Idol, producer personality Simon Cowell gained international fame thanks to the harsh persona he took on as a judge on

the reality show when he was 43. AlamyThe late Bea Arthur found success on Broadway early in her career, including a Tony-winning role in the 1966 musical Mame when she was 44. TV came calling in the '70s, though, when Norman Lear asked her to make a guest appearance as Maude Findlay on All in the Family. She was so beloved by audiences

that she got her own sitcom, Maude, just as she turned 50 years old. She found even more success with her next sitcom, The Golden Girls. ShutterstockF. Murray Abraham is one of those perennial actors who feels like he's been around forever. Indeed, Abraham has been landing roles on stage and screen since the '70s. But it wasn't until he was 45

that he landed the role of composer Antonio Salieri in the 1984 cinematic masterpiece Amadeus, and his life changed forever. The performance earned him critical acclaim, an Academy Award, and a film career that continues to this day. ShutterstockRicardo Montalb¨¢n became a household name after taking on the role of Mr. Roarke, the suave host

of the ABC drama Fantasy Island in the late '70s and early '80s. The Mexican-born actor¡ªwhose own talent agent once referred to him as "a major name that never got a major role"¡ªwon the star-turning gig when he was 57, long past typical leading male age. And then, at 62, he was cast in perhaps the biggest role of his career, as Khan Noonien

Singh, the ruthless enemy of Captain Kirk, in 1982's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. ShutterstockFrom The West Wing to Desperate Housewives, two-time Emmy winner Kathryn Joosten has a r¨¦sum¨¦ more impressive than many A-listers'. But her career didn't officially start until she turned 42, when she reportedly started pursuing her dream of

acting after going through a divorce. Everett Collection/ShutterstockIn 1987, Morgan Freeman had his major breakout role in Street Smart, for which he scored an Oscar nomination. He was 50 at the time. Now in his 80s, Freeman is among the top earners in Hollywood of all time, ranking at No. 7 with $4.5 billion at the box office throughout his

career. Image: Wiki Commons The period between the development of "talkies"¡ªmovies with sound at the start of the 1930s¡ªand and when televisions became common in the home in the late '50s is known as Hollywood's Golden Age. Fans flocked to theaters to get their entertainment fix, studios churned out some of the greatest movies of all time

live on. Not only because of their engaging storylines and for the glimpse they offer into simpler times, but for the magnetism of their stars.
