Grace Jones | 73 Years Old
Jamaican-American model Grace Jones was once ranked 82nd place on VH1’s list of 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll in 1999. This was well deserved because the singer-actress was instrumental in influencing the cross-dressing movement of the 1980s, which has become the inspiration of many of today’s stars, including the iconic Lady Gaga. More awards followed for Jones, including a Q Idol Award. She was likewise ranked as the 40th greatest dance club artist of all time in 2016.
Jones also appeared in a number of low-budget films, with Conan the Destroyer as her first mainstream movie. She has appeared in a number of supporting roles, which led to her getting a nomination for the Saturn Awards for Best Supporting Actress. Her career suffered some setbacks in the late 1990s, and there were attempts to revive them. In 2014, for example, she was given credit for contributing a song to the soundtrack of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.
