Michelle Pfeiffer, who skyrocketed to fame as Elvira Hancock, continues to shine at 67, having garnered numerous awards and accolades, while Steven Bauer, now 69, has maintained a steady presence in Hollywood, including roles in “Better Call Saul.”

Al Pacino, the indelible Tony Montana, remains a titan at 85, still captivating audiences with his performances. F. Murray Abraham, now 86, continues to impress with roles in acclaimed series, while Harris Yulan, at 88, reflects on a storied career as a versatile character actor. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, 67, is still active in the industry, and Robert Loggia, who passed in 2015, is remembered fondly for his extensive body of work.
