A quartet of 1970s Hollywood icons came together this week for a dazzling showbiz snapshot as they helped celebrate a friend’s birthday.
Among them was an 89-year-old star who first entered the spotlight as the wife of the king of Old Hollywood screwball comedy before carving out her own acclaimed career during the New Hollywood era, appearing alongside the likes of Natalie Wood, Warren Beatty and Raquel Welch.
Another member of the glamorous group, now 81, made her name as a celebrated model, married both a screen idol and a rock star, and shared a close friendship with one of the original Charlie’s Angels.
Also seen in the party photo was another Charlie’s Angels favorite, who remains strikingly elegant and youthful at 80.
Rounding out the group was an 85-year-old actress who appeared in Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut and later fronted the cast of a classic soap opera that helped launch Alec Baldwin’s career.
So, can you name all four stars?

The Daily Mail has contacted all their representatives for comment.
The quartet had gathered with other friends to celebrate the birthday of their pal Patrick Foley, a beloved Beverly Hills makeup artist.
Cannon was briefly married to Cary Grant, becoming the only one of his five wives with whom he had a child – their daughter Jennifer, 60.
Grant and Cannon’s rancorous divorce and custody battle drove her into a drug-fueled breakdown and landed her in a mental hospital.
Shortly after she emerged, she rocketed to movie stardom and earned an Oscar nod for the 1969 swinger comedy Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, in which she starred alongside Natalie Wood, Elliott Gould and Robert Culp.
She earned another Academy Award nomination for featuring in the 1978 movie Heaven Can Wait, led by Warren Beatty and Julie Christie.
In the 1973 whodunit The Last of Sheila – amid a cast including James Mason, Raquel Welch and Richard Benjamin – Cannon stole the show as a scenery-chewing character based on the acerbic Hollywood super-agent of the day, Sue Mengers.

After the show, her acting gigs have largely been TV movies and miniseries, though she did snag a cameo in the 2003 feature Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, fronted by Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore as the titular trio.
