Famous Names Who Are 70 Years Plus & Still Thriving

Loretta Lynn, 89, Born In 1932 –  Coal Miner’s Daughter

Loretta Lynn’s story reads much like an inspiring big-screen flick, and that’s precisely what Michael Apted did when he transformed based the 1980 biographical film on her life. Lynn got hitched to her former husband Oliver Lynn when she was just 15 years old, and they had six children.

She still managed to find her way into the country music scene in the ’60s and gave us hits like You Ain’t Woman Enough, Coal Miner’s Daughter, and Fist City. Lynn released Still Woman Enough, her 50th album, in March 2021. She bounced back after sustaining a broken hip in 2017, followed by suffering a stroke in 2018.
