The excitement around Dick Van Dyke turning 100 this month shows how rare it is for a celebrity to make it to their second century. However, while it’s unusual, it’s not unheard of; Hollywood has seen a handful of legends hit 100, some even going beyond it. These titans lived through all different eras of the entertainment industry, from the Golden Age through the freewheeling ’70s, and some (like Titanic‘s Gloria Stuart, Bob Hope and Academy Award nominee Kirk Douglas) kept performing until very close to the end of their lives.
