Tommy Steele | Age 85

Sir Thomas Hicks, popularly known as Tommy Steele, is an English entertainer who is widely recognized as Britain’s first teen idol and rock and roll star. The Tommy Steele Story (1957) was a film adaptation of this 85 year old celeb’s rise to fame, with the soundtrack becoming the first British album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart.

Steele was one of the biggest cultural icons chosen by pop artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in “Vintage Blake,” which was an iconic montage to commemorate Blake’s 80th birthday. All these achievements established him as a star with a long and successful film and stage professional career.
