JAMES EARL JONES – AGE 90

Who can ever forget the distinct voice of Mufasa in Lion King? That low yet cool voice belongs to James Earl Jones, but that is just a snippet of his vast works and achievements throughout his seven decades in the entertainment industry. Jones finished a pre-med degree in college and served in the military prior to pursuing his career in acting. As a child, he suffered from stutters, but he worked it out by practicing poetry.

He has come a long way since then. Jones is also an EGOT recipient. It means he is one of the few who has received all four major awards: an Emmy, a Golden Globe, an Oscar, and a Tony. Among his best films are The Great White Hope, Claudine, and Fences. He also played Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise from 1977 to 1983. Jones is still working at the age of 90 and it seems that he is not stopping any moment soon.
