I was amazed to discover that Eve (b 4 July 1924) appears as
Superman's Mom in 'Superman Returns'.

Are there any other actresses over-80 who are still active?

Oh dear, Rainbow, you have fallen from your usual high standards:

Ingmar Bergman is a man!

Deborah Kerr hasn't made a movie since 1986!

Lauren Bacall is younger than Eve!

And the remainder haven't made any movies in years.

By 'still active' I meant 'still active as an actress' not 'still alive'.

Sorry!

Bryan

I?ll leave this to a film expert, but seeing this question made me
immediately think of the Grim Reaper?s waiting room for actors: Last
of the Summer Wine.

Hi A/F

Ha, ha, you old dog ...

You picked on one of my neighbours who, although IMBD says she was
born in Southport, was actually brought up in my old home town of
Oldham!

I've never, ever watched 'Summer Whine' although I have been to
Holmfirth where (I understand) it is filmed.

Great to hear from you again.

Many thanks

Bryan

How about 95-year-old Gloria Stuart (who had a wonderful role in "Titanic")?

Yes, Pink, 

Gloria sounds truly wonderful!
