Millicent Martin, 87

Over the years, there have been many actresses who successfully transitioned from theater to the silver screen, and one of them is Millicent Martin. The Essex-born star received positive acclaim for her work on stage, particularly for ‘King of Hearts’ as it earned her a ‘Tony Award’ nod.

Since then, Martin has appeared in many film and TV projects, but who could ever forget her performance in the ‘BBC’ crime drama ‘Moon and Son,’ where she portrayed the titular character, Gladys Moon? These days, Martin still keeps a relatively hectic filming schedule, seeing as she’s got the show ‘Grace and Frankie’ to keep her occupied. What a trooper indeed!
