Nancy Pelosi

Politician

Here's the rewritten bio: The first woman to ever bang the Speaker's gavel in Congress, Nancy Pelosi has been politically unkillable for decades—surviving two decades as House Democratic leader, two Speaker stints, and enough Republican attack ads to wallpaper the Capitol. At 85, she's still prowling the halls of Congress in her 20th term, proving that San Francisco sourdough starter isn't the only thing in that city with remarkable staying power. Whether she's corralling votes or perfecting her legendary side-eye, Pelosi remains Washington's most formidable political survivor.
