Old Father Time may be relentlessly tick-tocking, but to some stars it matters not one bit.
With each passing year, with each new success, they are the celebs who are becoming more and more powerful - while most of their rivals fall by the wayside.
You may not realise it, but Jerry Springer is as much a Londoner as Bob Hoskins. And Sex & The City star Kim Cattrall and Paul McCartney were both born in the same city.
Mary Poppins was pipped to the musical post by The Producers at the Laurence Olivier Awards after it only managed to bag two gongs despite being nominated in a whopping nine categories.
However, Mary Poppins star Laura Michelle Kelly did walk away with the best actress in a musical award for her portrayal of the all-singing, all-dancing nanny.
Kim Cattrall has lent her charms to a campaign urging people to visit London.
The Sex In The City star spent time selling theatre tickets and copies of the Evening Standard, while former Dawson's Creek star Joshua Jackson got behind the wheel of a London cab to drive folk around the city.
Sex And The City's Kim Cattrall has vowed to take a leaf out of her screen character Samantha's book - and lots of sex features high up on her list of priorities.
