You are as young as you feel, or at least that is the case for these 10 celebrities who are turning 70 this year and still going strong, as highlighted by Wonderwall:

1. Bill Murray

It seems like just yesterday that Bill Murray had us in stitches with his quirky character in "Ghost Busters." It is hard to believe that the film was released 35 years ago, and that Murray turns 70 on Sept. 21.

2. Wendie Malick

Anyone who sat glued to their television screens, binge-watching 90s sitcoms, will remember Wendie Malick from "Frasier" and "Just Shoot Me." On Dec. 13 she turns 70.

3. Dr. Phil McGraw

Daytime talk show "Dr. Phil" first aired in 2002 and its host is showing no signs of stopping. He turns 70 on Sept. 1.

4. Cybill Shepherd

Cybill Shepherd, who celebrated her 70th birthday on Feb.18, achieved fame in the 1970s after starring in "The Last Picture Show" and "Taxi Driver."

5.Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder hit the charts in the 1960s and has been in the limelight ever since. The 25-times Grammy Award winner now celebrates another milestone in his life- his 70th birthday on May 13.

6. Victoria Principal

"Dallas" was one of the tops soaps in the 80s and Pamela Barnes Ewing, played by Victoria Principal, was a key character. Fast forward to the present day and the actress is 70, after celebrating her birthday on Jan. 3.

7. Debbie Allen

"Grey's Anatomy" is still going strong and so is actress, director and producer Debbie Allen, who stars as Catherine Fox in the series, and who turned 70 on Jan. 16.

8. Martin Short

Martin Short carved a name for himself in classic films like "Father of the Bride" as well as the set of "Saturday Night Live." He has been a household name for decades and his 70th birthday on March 26 marks a new era for the actor.

9. Joan Lunden

Nothing will stop former "Good Morning America" host Joan Lunden, who showed her strength and zest for life when she beat breast cancer. Turning 70 on Sept. 19 is not going to slow her down.

10. Richard Dean Anderson

Turning 70 on Jan. 23 is one more milestone for Richard Dean Anderson, who is best known for his starring role in the television series "MacGyver" as well as "General Hospital" and the "Stargate" film.
