Benjamin Franklin was 65 in 1771. He not only helped craft the Declaration of Independence 5 years later, but then was Ambassador to France from 1776-1785, and helped sway France to our side, aiding in the victory over the British.

Bless you! Could you at least limit it down to a catagory, for example? African Americans? Artists? Business Leaders? National "Characters"? Cultural Figures? Inventors? Pioneers and "Firsts"? Politicians & Activists? Scientists? Sports Figures? Accomplished Women? Writers & Poets?
Some context wouldn't hurt, either!
(In case you're wondering, these categories come from the "Learn About Famous Americans" website from TeachersFirst, the 4th hit on Google!)
PS : I seem to remember that Walt Disney died a few days after his 65th birtday. And author Erica Jong just celebrated her 65th birthday.

jimmy carter
He did a lot in his post presidency and possibly the only one i can think of that's actually over 65 to qualify for your question Most others were under 65.

Ronald Regan
He was president from the time he wa 70 years old to the time he was 78.
The oldest man elected president.
I'd say he was a pretty influential figure
