Maggi Hambling, 80 – Oldie Finest Artist Now aged 80, Maggi is still going at full blast. She is in her studio - or by the North Sea with her sketchbook - by 6am every morning. Anita Lasker-Walfisch, 100 – Oldie Maestra Anita Lasker Wallfisch, 100, a German-British cellist, was a member of the Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz. After the war, she co-founded ensembles including the English Chamber Orchestra and has been honoured for her contributions to music and Holocaust remembrance. Michael Heath, 90 – Oldie King of the Toons At 90, Michael Heath remains our finest observational cartoonist. Since he first placed a cartoon in Melody Maker in 1955 – more than 70 years ago – he has drawn people with the clothes, hair and mannerisms of the moment. In Great Bores of Today for Private Eye, he nailed the appearance of gallery-owners, weekend brunchers and cocktail bar bimbos. He has now happily revived Bores in The Oldie.
