These Unforgettable Golden Age Stars Are Living The Best Life In Retirement
Eileen Derbyshire – 89, Coronation Street
Eileen Derbyshire took up radio plays at the age of seventeen, alongside doing small gigs on the television. However, only in the 60s was she cast in the soap opera ‘Coronation Street,’ which later became her most prominent role.
While Derbyshire was awarded an ‘MBE’ for her contribution to the entertainment industry, it is less known that she is a trained musician and teacher. During her time on the screen, she earned many fans who yearn to see her in interviews and promotions. But the star enjoys reclusiveness as she never makes it to award functions either, and as her son revealed, she is a ‘private, old-fashioned actress’ with immense love for her art.
