Rhea Perlman – Age 76

Cascading excellence in versatile roles is an art the American actress Rhea Perlman has mastered. Of course, we know playing Carla Tortelli on ‘Cheers’ wasn’t a task so easy, but this lady did it with such pizzaz that arrays of award nominations were written to her name. Among them are the prestigious ‘Emmy Awards,’ four of which she won.

Though the early ’70s marked Perlman’s debut in the film industry, only in the next decade did her career catch impressive momentum. It has been about half a century; still, stints like ‘Taxi,’ ‘Matilda,’ and ‘Poms’ ensure the actress a good share of constant limelight. No wonder her stellar performances get ranked among the industry’s classics.
