Most of us think of Helen Mirren for her most recent roles as old ladies (among the roles, that of QE2). In real life, she looks youthful for an older woman (80 looking 50-60).

Just for reference: this movie was released in 1989. She was botn in 1945. She was around 44 at that time, and no one was calling her old then. Among her other movies during the 1980s are Excalibur and Caligula (yes, that one).
