Imelda Staunton, 65

Remember the eternally irritating Professor Dolores Umbridge in the Harry Potter series? Actress Imelda Staunton, who played the part, would be delighted to know if you’re scared of the character because that means her portrayal was effective. The 65-year-old was also pixie fairy Knotgrass in the Angelina Jolie-starrer Maleficent.

The ever-versatile star also showcased another facade recently when she was tapped to play Queen Elizabeth in the series The Crown, taking over Olivia Colman. Staunton is also quite vocal when it comes to celebrating older women like Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, and Maggie Smith in the industry and empowering all people of different shapes.
