Diana Rigg
From a karate-chopping, catsuit-wearing spy in the 1960s TV program "The Avengers" to name-taking matriarch Lady Olenna Tyrell on "Game of Thrones," it's quite clear that Dame Diana Rigg has chutzpah in spades. She's aged incredibly over her decades-long career, and serves as amazing inspiration for all who are fortunate enough to watch her kick-ass performances.

Diane von Furstenberg
After completely reinventing/reinvigorating the wrap dress, Diane von Furstenberg has only continued to grow her fashion empire over the years. She admitted to E! News that aging definitely takes its toll -- as she explained, seeing herself on the big screen "with no plastic surgery at my age, it's not the easiest thing." Still though, the iconic fashion designer remains stylishly ageless as she keeps maintaining her status as a major influencer. Plus, she waxed poetic on the topic in her memoir, "The Woman I Wanted to Be" when she said, "There is a saying that with age, you look outside what you are inside. If you are someone who never smiles your face gets saggy. If you're a person who smiles a lot, you will have more smile lines. Your wrinkles reflect the roads you have taken; they form the map of your life."

Lily Tomlin
Credited as a pioneer for female comedians, Lily Tomlin has managed to break the glass ceiling in a major way -- and she's still going strong at 77. The "Grace and Frankie" star and her co-star Jane Fonda recently joked about aging at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, where she noted "denial" as a key component of aging gracefully. Honestly, if Lily Tomlin says denial is the way to go, we might just have to give it a try.

Judi Dench
Can you believe this "Shakespeare in Love" actor turned 80 back in 2014? You'd never guess it, neither from her sprightly appearance, nor from her powerhouse performances. Over the years, she's played such iconic roles like Queen Elizabeth, James Bond's M, and (our personal favorite) Lady Catherine de Bourgh -- and she's got just as much attitude as her most famous characters. She joked to People Magazine about aging, saying, "There's nothing good about being my age... Someone said to me, 'You have such a wealth of knowledge,' and I just said 'I'd rather be young and know nothing, actually.' Bugger the wealth of knowledge."

Catherine Keener
From indie hits like "Living in Oblivion" to more mainstream fare like "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," Catherine Keener has enjoyed lots of variety and success across her career. Now approaching 60, she looks as striking as ever, having aged with enviable naturalism and grace. Let's all hope we can grow up to be like Ms. Keener, eh?
