The Golden Globe winning actress is very involved in the arts, and doesn't appear to be slowing down in her own career very much.

Angela, who is best known for her role in Murder, She Wrote, has been nominated for 18 Emmys and the program is the longest-running TV detective series to date.
She has also received the National Medal of the Arts and was a recipient of a Kennedy Center Honor. The 84-year-old is currently co-starring in A Little Night Music on Broadway. She might be getting up there, but this woman's clearly not ready to retire.
