EILEEN ATKINS

Eileen Atkins seems to have also had her fair share of ups and downs in life and in the entertainment business. Back in 1995, she faced a serious health issue, but Atkins is all fine now. She probably has the best health insurance plan in place aside from the U.K.’s NHS system. Despite what she has been through, the 86-year-old star didn’t let it get the best of her. In fact, she continued acting, appearing in a variety of TV shows and movies even in her 80s.

Atkins was part of Broadway in 1966 in The Killing of Sister George, where she racked a Tony Award nomination. Apart from that, she was nominated for her performances in Vivat! Vivat! Regina! and The Retreat from Moscow. In 2016, she guested in BBC Radio 4 soap opera The Archers playing as Jacqui. We sure do hope she will reap the fruit of her labors when she finally decides to retire.
