Did you know Glenn Close made her first movie at 35? Which actors started late and managed to become movie stars?

Mae West was nearly 40 when she made her first movie, though she was already a name in theater, and managed to become one of the big box office names of the 1930s until she dropped out of movies.

Glenn Close was a interesting case in that she was an unknown until she did The World According to Garp and then BOOM, oscar nom as well as Emmy nom for Something About Amelia and from then, she went from respected character actress to leading lady to box office queen (Fatal Attraction).

Viola Davis was 31 when she made her first movie but 43 when she got her break (Doubt) and 48 in her star making part (The Help).
