Who says osteoporosis gets in the way of a good car chase? Viola Davis (57 during The Woman King ) trained for months to lead an army of Agojie warriors. Michelle Yeoh, at 60, won an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once , a film that required her to jump between universes, wield fanny packs as weapons, and master martial arts.
