While it isn’t exactly clear how old Maggie Horton is in real time on Days of our Lives, the accress who portrays her, Suzanne Rogers is 75. She won the role when she was 30 and has remained on the scene ever since.
The role of Maggie has had some ups and downs, especially when she was “killed” by the Salem serial killer back in 2003. It ended up being a huge misunderstanding with Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) drugging Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) and making it appear that she had become a killer. Along with the other supposed victims, Maggie was rescued from the island where they were kept.
