Despite the fact that researchers are still trying to find a means to extend the lifespan of living things, there are already individuals who have discovered the key to live beyond the age of 100. Even after reaching the age of one hundred, these individuals continue to have pleasure in their lives, demonstrating that age is irrelevant to them. One common belief is that creative individuals have a long and fruitful life, but it is also a short one. On the other hand, the individuals described in this article unequivocally demonstrate that the reverse is true.
When Bright Side interviewed the oldest actors and actresses who are still alive and hopeful, they learned the secrets of longevity from those individuals.

During the time period of silent films, this actress had a strong reputation. Under the moniker Baby Peggy, she was known to the public.

At that point in time, her parents had already spent all of her money and had not put any money aside for her schooling. In 1938, the actress decided to give up her profession in order to devote her time to authoring books and growing her family.
“I manage to maintain my health by adhering to a well-balanced diet. You may find a stunning library at the home that I own. I have a son and a granddaughter to whom I infuse my warmth, but the most important thing is that I have a family that I love. According to the actress, “I believe that it has been a significant contributor to my longevity.”
2. Ruth Anderson, who is one hundred years old
