VERA LYNN, 101 YEARS OLD
During World War II, Vera Lynn earned the nickname “The Forces’ Sweetheart.” This was because the beginning of her career involved singing to soldiers to give them support, entertainment, and comfort in those trying times. The English musician rose to stardom not only for her singing voice, but also for her performances in both the small screen and the big screen. On her 100th birthday, she released the album Vera Lynn 100. It is already an impressive feat to have recorded and produced another album, but it is also delightful to hear it climbed to the third spot in the music charts!

GENE REYNOLDS, 95 YEARS OLD
This gentleman has a handsome face that would have made all the women swoon if he were on screen for a longer period of time. His acting career was stopped short by a letter that came from the recruitment office that called for his enlistment during the Second World War. Once the war was over, he returned to the entertainment industry but not in front of the camera. He decided to leave acting behind and instead became a director. He has been awarded numerous accolades over the course of his career, though his biggest accomplishment is probably the creation of the well-loved and highly popular TV series M*A*S*H.
