Since carving out a hugely successful career in the late 1960s, Joanna has remained a prominent face in acting. Last year, she debuted her role as Judith Burkett in Netflix’s Fool Me Once, where she starred alongside Michelle Keegan.
With a career that continues to reach new heights, Joanna will portray Grandmama Eudora Addams in the highly anticipated second series of Wednesday.
However, while Joanna’s work hasn’t slowed down, she realises she’s a lot older than she once was.

In a BBC Radio 2 interview, Joanna, now 79, reflected on aging, saying she no longer panics but cherishes each day. Embracing life, she shared, “Growing old is good.” With age, she’s learned what truly matters and refuses to waste a moment on this beautiful planet.

‘I’ve started to live day to day’
This isn’t the only time Joanna has opened up about ageing. During an interview with Woman & Home earlier this year, the Ab Fab star admitted she used to worry about getting older.
“I used to panic and get rattled when I was young, but as I’ve got older, I’ve started literally to live day to day,” she said.
However, Joanna’s realised there is a real sense of freedom as you age.
“I’ve got lots of good friends, I could have affairs. I can read a book all night, put the cat on the end of the bed or I can pick up my passport and go to France. I don’t have to ask anybody,” she added.
