Michael Learned — 1939
Fans of CBS television series The Waltons still firmly believe that the exit of Olivia Walton from the show felt rushed, and we cannot blame them. Due to her personal reasons, Michael exit from the show. And this was weaved into the plot to give the character closure.
Although Michael gained enormous fame for her role in the TV series, eventually winning three Primetime Emmy's for her stupendous performance, she didn't like her character. She didn't like the fact that Olivia never makes mistakes and also expressed dissatisfaction with her character's primary job, which was to serve coffee to her husband.
By the time she left The Waltons, Michael had already accepted a role in the CBS medical drama Nurse, another milestone in her career.

We wonder what his secrets are.
Well, one guess is that his happy marriage of 33 years with Jillie Mack is one reason.

The platform happens to offer fitness services at highly affordable prices so that anybody can avail of them. The platform, in short, is accessible to all and that's indeed a piece of good news for fitness enthusiasts as well as for those who are aiming for a weight loss.
Tamilee Webb – 1958
Tamilee Webb entered the American households through her series, Abs of Steel and of course, Buns of Steel. Her fitness videos in the series helped her earn widespread acclamation and propelled her forward in the industry.
Webb possibly made a revenue of over $10 million through video sales. Banking on her accomplishments, she grabbed an opportunity to be among the fitness experts who appeared on FitTV.
For all those who don't know what FitTV is, it is a digital channel that is jointly owned by ESPN Communications Pros. and Discovery Communications. If you want to stay updated with what Webb is up to these days, she has released her workout videos recently, which go by the titles Arms & Abs of Steel, Buns of Steel 3, and Abs of Steel 1. She also happens to be the CEO of Webb International, her enterprise.
Judi Sheppard Missett - 1944
Judi deserves credit for setting up Jazzercise, in Illinois while she was attending the prestigious Northwestern University. Many experts believe that the fitness industry wouldn't have been the same, had Jazzercise been not there.
Jazzercise happens to be a fun workout that includes dance, resistance training, and strength, all combined. People who practice it have a whale of time swinging their bodies to mainstream music which are quite favorite with the masses.
Judi's investment in Jazzercise has reaped huge dividends without an iota of doubt and has helped innumerable fitness enthusiasts all along. Judi's amazing physique has always been a prime example of how effective the workout has been. Her success in the business has taken her up the ladder of fame and Judi has never had to look back again. At 76 years of age, she still looks wow.
Tonya Harding - 1970
Even though she didn't belong to a family that focused on fitness, Tonya Harding has always been inclined towards athleticism. This is probably the reason why she chose to be a figure skater. Once she took the sport up as her career, nothing on earth could stop her from attaining her goals.
Harding went on to take part in the Winter Olympics Figure Skating Competition and Exhibition in the year 1994. She was in a controversy regarding her participation at the Winter Olympics, but that never took away the credit of being one of the most iconic individuals in the figure skating circuit from her.
However, due to all the hullabaloo about her involvement in the controversy, Harding decided to move away from the limelight and hasn't contemplated making a comeback since then. Her current net worth is enough for her to help her lead a comfortable life.
Nancy Kerrigan - 1969
The retired figure skater remains a name to reckon with in the circuit. Nancy laid her hands on bronze medals which she won at the World Championships in the year 1991 and the Winter Olympics in the year 1992. Aside from that, she has earned silver at the World Championships in 1992 and the Winter Olympics in 1994.
In addition to that, Nancy also happens to be aa former US National Figure Skating Champion. She won the title in 1993. Nancy found an inclination towards figure skating right from the age of six and even at the age of 50, she can't take that love out from her heart. She is very fond of reminiscing those memorable days and flashes a big smile that warms our hearts.
Nancy took everyone by surprise when she made a comeback into the limelight for the 24th season of Dancing With The Stars. The money she has amassed till now would never force her to avail of personal loans or anything of that sort.
Chris Evett Lloyd - 1954
The former tennis icon has been one of the most stylish players to have stepped on to the court. Throughout her career, Evert pocketed three titles in the double category and 18 Grand Slams in the singles category.
Overall, she has 32 doubles titles and 157single championship titles to her credit. With so much success under her belt, building a nice bank balance has never been tough for her. Many might not be aware of the fact that Evert's record of seven French Open Singles was left unbroken for 27 years.
She has maintained her gorgeous demeanor and it seems that she can never get old. Born in the year 1954, Evert is all of 65 now and is still enjoying all the attention despite retiring from tennis years ago. We do miss her action on the court.
Charlene Prickett - 1946
Born in the 40s, Charlene Prickett is still popular among the fitness freaks for her videos on how to be fitted round the clock. She used to combine simple choreography with very basic workout moves.
That was enough to catch the imagination of the senior crowd and of course those who were looking for less strenuous exercises while getting introduced to athleticism. No wonder, she garnered massive fame and popularity through her simple moves.
Her video series included Jump Aerobics, Return to Slender: A Step Aerobics and Muscle Toning Workout for Postnatal and Overweight Women as well as Cruising Altitude: 1 Hour Vigorous Low Impact Aerobics. Charlene has long been out of the limelight. But we are sure that with the money she has piled on throughout her career, she is definitely into luxury these days.
Sharon Bruneau - 1964
Being born on the 1st of February, 1964, Sharon is now 56 years of age. She is a successful former professional female bodybuilder from Canada, a model, and a fitness instructor.
She initiated her journey as a model but found herself suffering from pneumonia. As a result, she was forced to quit. After she was confident that she has covered, Sharon took up bodybuilding and started making her body stronger by lifting weights.
Her appearance on the covers of popular fitness magazines did benefit her career to a great extent. Sharon has also acted in a few films such as Tornado Run, R.S.V.P, Nemesis 2: Nebula, and Nemesis III: Prey Harder. All the investments that she has made in her career have been completely fruitful and that goes without saying.
Tracy Austin - 1978
Austin has been a prominent tennis star in her heydays and a former World No.1. Throughout her career, she laid her hands on more than two Grand Slam titles, the WTA Tour Championship title, the mixed doubles title at the 1980 Wimbledon Championships, and many others.
She was going great guns until a fatal automobile accident forced her to quit the sport forever. It was indeed heart-breaking for her fans, including us. After calling it a day, Austin has been earning quite a lot of bucks as a commentator for the USA Network as well as NBC.
She has covered both the US Open and the French Open. Post that, Austin has been working efficiently on Canadian TV and has been involved in the coverage of the Rogers Cup since the year 2004. She has pocketed enough money to secure an insurance policy for herself.
Kathy Smith - 1951
The personal fitness instructor garnered a lot of positive reviews and appreciation for her workout videos which she released during the latter half of the 80s decade and the 90s decade as well.
Her work as a trainer threw her into the limelight and she has been basking in the glory since then. She has earned the distinction of churning out 16 million workout videos to date and has accumulated a lot of bucks in her banks.
This goes on to prove how successful and enterprising she has been in her career. Her exercise and nutrition program has proved to be helpful for people who have taken a keen interest in fitness. Smith joined hands with the American Diabetes Association and helped many to change their lifestyle. Owing to her contribution, Smith has often been hailed as the titan of the workout industry.
Linnea Quigley - 1958
Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout immediately catapulted the model, actress, and author into the big league. As an actress, Quigley has often starred in several horror flicks, owing to which she has often been hailed as a scream queen.
She has also acted in big-budget films such as Silent Night, Deadly Night, Savage Streets, and Graduation Day. Aside from that, she has also been a singer and has penned down three books to date.
In addition to all these, Quigley has been a popular animal rights activist and a prominent member of PETA as well. Her workout videos have been quite different from the rest and that has probably helped her stand apart from the crowd. With a nice credit score under her belt, Quigley has nothing to worry about as far as her retirement fund is concerned.
Cynthia Kereluk - 1962
The fitness guru from Canada has been a name that every fitness aficionado is probably conversant with. Though she has toiled hard to get that awesome well-toned body, some credit for her stunning looks goes to her genes and of course, mother nature. With an amazing demeanor to boast of, Cynthia grabbed the Miss Canada title in the year 1984 and went on to participate at the Miss Universe pageant.
Hence, garnering widespread attention was a cakewalk for her. More popularity came along Cynthia's way when she came up with Everyday Workout, her fitness program. She is into a marital relationship with Paul Rodgers, the famous English rocker.
Cynthia has probably decided to shift away from all the limelight and is spending some cozy times with her hubby these days. Also, she is possibly taking the help of a financial advisor to manage her money.
Cathy Lee Crosby – 1944
Popular as Cathy Crosby, the former actress, and a great tennis player advocated healthy living like no other way back in the 80s. Crosby made quite a name for herself as the co-host of the TV series- That’s Incredible.
It started with the 1968 series- It Takes a Thief, followed by productions like An Investigation of a Murder, Call Me by My Rightful Name and Wonder Woman; all of which made her a true sensation.
In 2016, Crosby would have returned with Prayer Never Fails, but chose to stay away from the public eye. While there’s no doubt that Crosby made enough money in her career, but a series of court issues with Joe Theismann, the football player whom she dated during the 80s, caused her to face severe bankruptcy. At 72, she desires peace naturally and focuses her attention on charities galore. That’s the Wonder Woman we thought wasn’t alive!
Tony Little – 1956
That characteristic ‘long blonde ponytail’ and a ‘booming voice’ surely makes Tonya class apart! America’s Personal Trainer - that’s exactly how he was famous for. He has made the catchphrase ‘You can do it!’ a highly popular one.
Unfortunately, he met with a very severe car accident in 1983 and suffered innumerable injuries. Perhaps that required him to tighten his insurance bit also. After all, considerable expenses incurred back then.
Despite life’s tragic turn, Tony kept up with his die-hard spirit. At the time of recovery, he released few exercise programs and a book- One on One with Tony Little: The Complete 28 day Body Sculpting and Weight Loss Program. Even when he couldn’t stay active, the fitness videos fetched him close to 14 Platinum Awards! At 61, Little is popular for several TV appearances he made thereafter and several parody skits.
Fabio Lanzoni – 1959
For those who kept a close eye on fitness magazines and workout series during the 80s and 90s Fabio is a name they know for sure. It’s next to impossible not to have heard of Fabio- the super-hunk Italian American actor, spokesman, and fashion model for every fitness freak.
He started his first modeling job at the tender age of 19! And since then, he essayed multiple roles, including that of a ghost-writer and a novelist. Reportedly, the diversity he showcased in his career earned him a net worth close to $15 million.
In recent times, the spokesman's persona in him got him work and visibility. So all those who weren’t lucky enough to see him featuring on billboards and book covers. You would remember him as the new ‘Old Spice guy’ and also the face of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spread. At 60, Lanzoni still makes news via his appearance son TV series, commercials and occasionally, movies.
Robert Fuller - 1933
Robert Fuller’s rise to stardom was something pretty unusual but not uncommon. He had humble beginnings as a stuntman, but he always worked harder and persevered until people started noticing him.
Eventually, he graduated from doing someone else's stunts to making a name for himself in a variety of movies. He went on to star in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, alongside Marilyn Monroe in 1953.
After serving his country in the Korean War in 1955, he made a comeback with Laramie and Wagon Train which catapulted him to fame. He took up a retirement in 2001 and seems to have made his ranch as his retirement home. We're glad that he seems to be doing well for himself away from the bright spotlight Hollywood.
Clu Gulager — 1928
The actor and director rose to fame with his work on TV. Clu Gulager received widespread acclamation for his portrayal of Emmett Ryker in The Virginian, a Western series on NBC, and William H. Bonney in The Tall Man, a series on NBC.
Talking about his film career, Gulager grabbed attention with his role in the 1964 flick, The Killers, and is widely popular for his part opposite the legendary duo, Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman, in Winning.
Aside from that, he poured some good currency in his banks with films like The Initiation, Feast, Tangerine, and The Return of the Living Dead. Born in the year 1928, Gulager is now in his nineties. In spite of being active for more than seven decades, he is a livewire and refuses to quit.
Lee Majors — 1939
Harvey Lee Yeary a.k.a. Lee Majors carved a space for himself in the industry as a television, film, and voice actor. His most popular portrayals to date have probably been that of Heath Barkley in The Big Valley, a Western series, Colt Seavers in The Fall Guy, and Steve Austin in The Six Million Dollar Man, a sci-fi action series.
Aside from these, he was also part of the cast of Killer Fish, Trojan War, The Agency, and Scrooged. Because of his long list of movies, Lee Majors has quite an enviable wealth to boast of. Before getting a permanent life partner in Faith Cross, Majors was married to Kathy Robinson, Farrah Fawcett, and Karen Velez.
He has had some serious issues with his health in 2003 as he had to go through a heart bypass surgery. We hope he would come up with some more exciting projects in the future.
Clint Eastwood – 1930
What can we say about Clint Eastwood that has not already been said? Man With No Name, Million Dollar Baby, Dirty Harry, and Any Which Way You Can are some of his best movies.
Interestingly, the poncho he used in A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and the Ugly was the same poncho – and had never been washed! He actually still has the poncho.
His unique selling point was him delivering dialogues with a cigar dangling between his lips. Soon, he created a style of his own and was famous for being an icon of masculinity. He had a string of relationships where both his marriages ended in divorce. Unlike other Hollywood celebrities, he was never in a rehab center but he is planning to play a 90-year-old smuggler in his next venture.
George Hamilton — 1939
George Hamilton is one Hollywood actor who occupies a special place in every Hollywood fan's heart. He started out in 1952 and it took little time to attain stardom.
He made it big with only his first film, Crime and Punishment U.S.A. in 1959 and laid his hands on the Golden Globe Award. Hamilton then went on to grab substantial roles in movies viz. By Love Possessed, Home from the Hill, Once Is Not Enough, and many others.
You might have also caught him in The Godfather II. It goes without saying that Hamilton amassed a huge sum in his bank account all throughout his career. Aside from his acting prowess, the actor’s tan also made him quite popular among the masses. We are surprised by how well he has been able to maintain his suntan even at this age.
Robert Wagner - 1930
It Takes A Thief, Hart To Hart, Switch and much later Two And Half Men are some of the shows that Robert Wagner is famous for. He had also acted in some quite good movies like The Pink Panther, A Kiss Before Dying, etc.
He is still working these days. Hence, he might not find the need to do his retirement planning now, but it is never too early. He married thrice but all of them ended in a divorce. We hope he has enough in his bank accounts after paying for all the alimony to sustain him in his retirement.
Wagner has made it far in Hollywood considering that once upon a time he was simply an extra, and only earned his shot at fame when he was a teenager and offered to sign a contract with 20th Century Fox Studios.
Richard Chamberlain — 1934
Richard Chamberlain caught everyone’s fancy with his title role in Dr. Kildare, a series on television. He accentuated his popularity with his performance in miniseries such as The Thorn Birds and Shogun, aside from his enactment in films like King Solomon's Mines and The Bourne Identity.
He had the distinction of alongside the likes of Gemma Craven, Sharon Stone, and Katherine Hepburn. Chamberlain has also impressed us with his acting prowess in a number of Broadway products as well.
Shattered Love, his autobiography, was lapped up by his fans and has gone down in history as one of the best-selling books. The actor is all of 83 now and is all hale and hearty. He is quite focused on his finances and he is ably guided by his financial advisor.
Bob Newhart – 1929
Bob Newhart was a standup comedian first and later moved on to greener pastures as an actor. Before his entertainment work, he was actually an accountant for US Gypsum in Chicago.
He released an album of comedic monologues that became a worldwide hit. The fact that he delivered funny lines with a straight face and stammered often created an even deeper impact on the audience. His album The Button-Down Mind Of Bob Newhart topped the Billboard charts.
Later, he had his own TV program titled The Bob Newhart Show. He won an Emmy for his portrayal of Professor Proton in The Big Bang Theory. In fact, all in all, Newhart has managed to earn himself nine Primetime Emmy Awards over his career. After suffering a lot due to his smoking habits, he has stopped smoking and concentrates on his diet and fitness now.
Joan Collins – 1933
Dame Joan Henrietta Collins, popular as Joan Collins, is an English actress, columnist, and author. After growing up in the midst of World War II, she made a debut on stage with A Doll’s House when she was just nine.
She became popular with films like Rally Round The Flag Boys! and The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing in the 50s. However, when she was a growing girl she actually dreamed of becoming a private detective or a fashion designer. These two things that we doubt would have brought her the fame that her acting career did!
Her portrayal of Alexis Colby in the 80s movie Dynasty earned her a Golden Globe Award. She was honored with a damehood by the Queen in 2015 for her contributions to charity. Her amazing fitness has allowed her to continue being a live wire even in her advancing age.
Angie Dickinson – 1931
After starting off with television, the American actress went on to earn a milestone in her career with Gun The Man Down in 1956. She grabbed the Golden Globe Award for Best New Actress in Rio Bravo in 1959.
Angie is most popular for her remarkable portrayals in Police Woman, Big Bad Mama, and Dressed To Kill. Dickinson grabbed yet another Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy for Police Woman, a crime series on NBC.
Dickinson also has a Saturn Awards under her belt, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! In the latter half of her industrious career, she has starred in many a miniseries and some television movies, like Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and Big Bad Love. She has a remarkable career of six decades-long behind her name! We haven’t heard of her retirement plan yet.
Ann-Margret – 1941
Ann Margret looked stunning back in the day, her beauty gracing the big screen and starring in movies like Bye Bye Birdie, Viva Las Vegas, and The Cincinnati Kid. Meanwhile, her dancing and singing career took off as well.
She was popular as the female version of Elvis Presley! Her vibrant yet sultry contralto voice made many swoons! However, she went ahead and released a gospel album in 2001, very different from her earlier singing work.
After the gospel album followed an album of Christmas songs, which was released in the year 2014. At 79, she looks very graceful and keeps us wondering what anti-aging cream or lotion she uses. Retirement homes can wait for her because just three years back in 2014, she appeared in Ray Donovan. If Betty White can work in her nineties, Ann Margret definitely can.
Tippi Hedren – 1930
We often see daughters of actresses coming into Hollywood, but for Tippi, there are three generations of her family working in Hollywood now. Her daughter is Melanie Griffith and her granddaughter is Dakota Johnson, who has recently appeared in the Fifty Shades trilogy.
Hedren’s own career in entertainment took off when she starred in a TV commercial that happened to catch the eye of famous director Alfred Hitchcock. The Birds, Marnie and Chaplin’s A Countess From Hong Kong are some of Tippi's most famous movies.
She is also popular as a die-hard animal welfare activist. Out of her four marriages, three ended in divorce. Hopefully, she has maintained excellent health with a good diet. Hedren also has a love for animals and launched a sanctuary for rescued exotic cats called Shambala Preserve. She actually currently resides in a house that is built on this sanctuary so he can be close to her beloved animals!
Angela Lansbury – 1925
Angela Lansbury is a British-American actress who is in her 90s and has had a career spanning seven decades. Awarded an Honorary Oscar for her contributions to the film industry, she acted in The Picture Of Dorian Gray, Gaslight, The Manchurian Candidate, The King And I, Murder, and She Wrote and was a voice artist for Mrs. Potts in Disney’s Beauty And The Beast.
She had investments in a production company that she co-owned with her husband. Despite being beautiful, she was offered roles of an older woman once she came back from her hiatus. Hollywood is not very kind to aging — she has admitted which is why so many actresses undergo cosmetic surgery.
Lansbury is also an actress who must hold the record for most Emmy losses, as she has been nominated a whopping eighteen times for the prestigious award, yet has not won it even once!
Shirley MacLaine – 1934
Shirley Maclaine starred in several old Hollywood classics. Her popular films are The Apartment, and Some Came Running, and she won an Oscar for Terms Of Endearment. MacLaine was nominated for six Academy Awards and won one.
She also won a Primetime Emmy Award and was nominated six times. Rightly named after the famous Shirley Temple, her acting skills have been highly acclaimed.
She also happens to be the sister of Warren Beatty, the famous actor, and director. She was married just once and got a divorce in 1982. Shirley looks great even at this age — even her skin looks younger than 83, how does she manage to look like that? Share your anti-aging secrets, Shirley! We're dying to know! She is also a wonderful character with beliefs in UFOs and extraterrestrial life, and reincarnation! Sounds like she is a woman who has a lot to talk about!
Dean Stockwell – 1936
The actor who entertained us with movies like The Green Years, Gentleman’s Agreement, The Player, and Air Force One is none other than Dean Stockwell. He had the good fortune of working alongside Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, and Gregory Peck.
Besides being an actor, he is an artist and an expert golfer as well. Stockwell won a Golden Globe Award in 1990, and another in 1948. His most recent works are in 2015, with the film Entertainment and in 2014 with NCIS: New Orleans. Unfortunately, Stockwell suffered but recovered from a stroke in 2017, and has since retired from his showbiz career.
Stockwell has a comfortable fortune to live off of thanks to his seven-decade long career in entertainment that has fattened up his bank account. Aside from his talents and skills, he happens to also be an environmentalist, with interest in caring about the planet.
Jerry Lee Lewis – 1935
Jerry Lee Lewis alias The Killer is a singer, musician, and pianist who was one of the leading musicians in the field of rock and roll and belted out hits like "Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’On", "Great Balls Of Fire", "Breathless", and "High School Confidential". However, his controversial marriage to his cousin, who's ten years younger than him, dwindled his popularity.
Jerry made a comeback with his album Life At The Star Club, Hamburg. He also forayed into the field of country music with "Another Place Another Time" and then followed by "To Make Love Sweeter For You" and "There Must Be More To Love Than This".
He carved a niche for him both in country music and rock and roll. His personal life was not too stable — seven marriages and all of them ended in divorces. Amid a chaotic married life, we hope his retirement is the complete opposite.
Dick Van Dyke –1925
Having started his career with radio and Broadway shows, Dick Van Dyke is a legend in his own right, delivering stunning performances in his career that includes Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Dick Tracy, and Night At The Museum.
Dick Van Dyke also ventured into some writing, having found great success with his memoir titled My Lucky Life In and Out of Show Business, he went on into the self-help genre to write a book on aging.
With a net worth of $30 million, we guess his bank is never unhappy. At 94, he has survived an accident and some health disorders but his health has since then improved, it seems. He is a grandfather of seven and all of his own children are now married. However, he is still young at heart and never fails to enjoy every moment of life and living!
Bob Barker — 1923
We all recognize Bob Barker from being the host of The Price Is Right, but he ventured into the world of films and television even before that. He also hosted Truth Or Consequences starting from 1956 to 1974.
After a career of 50 years, he finally took retirement in 2007. Getting older comes with its own issues though. He suffered from stroke twice, but being a celebrity with good health insurance, he must have overcome them.
Barker is also big on animal rights and advocating such. He has donated to advocacy groups in large amounts, even donating a hefty $5 million to a marine wildlife society! Just in 2010, Barker donated $2.5 million to PETA. His animal rights principles urged him so far as to even stop The Price Is Right from gifting out fur coats as prices. We bet a couple of prize winners will be disappointed about that!
Ali MacGraw - 1939
It took only three movies for the brilliant Ali MacGraw to become the top female star in a global scale, and that says a lot about her talent. Her 1969 movie Goodbye Columbus gave her the star status.
But it was Love Story in 1970 that made her a legend of sorts. She retired after doing only six movies, yet the world still remembers her. She wrote her autobiography in 1991, and she is a popular animal activist. Retirement life has kept her busy for sure!
She practices yoga which inspired her to produce a yoga video. No wonder she is so fit and fine even in her 80s! She was married thrice, but they all ended in divorces. She has a son with Robert Evans and is a grandmother now.
Marsha Hunt – 1917
Like many of her peers, Marsha Hunt was famous for her stunning beauty. She was the daughter of a lawyer and confessed that she was lucky enough to get a good upbringing with scholarly parents.
She was noted for her films like Born To The West, Pride And Prejudice, and Raw Deal. Unlike the actresses of recent times, Marsha Hunt never made investments in real estate and lived in one home since 1946.
We guess this same house is also her retirement home. Hunt is part of history, having been the first black woman to have featured on the cover of the glossy magazine, Queen, and also appearing on Vogue in 1969 (the British edition). She was popular for her ferocity and we doubt her fierceness has paled with age! Her first marriage ended in a divorce, and she doesn’t have any biological child.
Ed Asner – 1929
Ed Asner is not just a retired actor, but also an activist and former president of Screen Actors Guild. He made the character of Lou Grant famous when he portrayed it in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and later, Lou Grant. He also acted in the iconic Christmas movie Elf and played the role of Santa Claus. Ed Asner was also part of the Oscar-winner animation Up.
He has been nominated for 21 Emmy Awards and 17 Primetime Emmys, plus four Daytime Emmys. Ed Asner happens to be the only actor who has taken Primetime Emmys for both dramas and for comedy!
Despite a second marriage that ended in divorce in 2015, 90-year old Ed Asner and his indomitable spirit are laudable. It seems like he will never retire. In 2018, Asner announced the establishing of Ed Asner Family Center, a support group for the differently disabled.
Kim Novak - 1933
Eighty-five-year-old Kim Novak is not just an actress but also a visual artist now. She has worked in films like Vertigo, The Man With The Golden Arm, and Pal Joey. However, she took retirement in the early 90s but acted in a handful of films after 1996.
Her career in acting began with her being a film extra whenever she had free time until an agent one day took notice of her and she wound up signing a contract with Columbia Pictures.
The rest is, as they say, history! As for her visual arts, she had long had an interest in painting and even earned skills at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2014, the media was abuzz with the news that Novak had undergone cosmetic surgery (perhaps to look younger), though we do not know if it was true.
Betty Lynn — 1926
From her childhood, Betty Lynn had been trained in music by her mother. She used to perform for the United Service Organizations and had to travel abroad. Once she returned to the United States, she focused on her acting career.
Betty was a bit apprehensive at the start due to her own insecurity concerning her looks and appearance. But, eventually, she made it big in Hollywood.
With her earnings stacked up in her bank account, she ventured out in real estate which could be the perfect shelter for her grandparents and definitely, her mom. Whoever watches The Andy Griffith Show, can easily identify Betty. She also appeared in films like Sitting Pretty, June Bride Cheaper By the Dozen, and Meet Me In Las Vegas. She needs to take care of her health at this age, and we hope she does.
Joe Turkel — 1927
Joe Turkel was in the army as a teenager. After his return, he pursued acting in Hollywood and writing too, along with it. Joe is quite a famous face, especially from Blade Runner, where the character Dr. Eldon Tyrell was played by him.
He also joined hands with Stanley Kubrick and worked with him on The Shining, Paths of Glory, and The Killing. His television appearances were in Miami Vice, Tales From the Dark Side, and Kojak.In many of his works, he is actually credited as Joseph Turkel.
Quite a long career Joe has had, and we are sure of him having an impressive saving figure in his bank account, which will surely help him after his retirement. We think this man deserves a luxury retirement after having worked so hard on so many sets! Besides, his work will live on forever!
Robert Englund - 1947
Robert Englund is most famous for his best performance to date as Freddy Krueger on Nightmare on Elm Street. California born and raised actor has debuted his acting career in the '80s series V: The Final Battle but in 1984, he was chosen to play the role of one of the scarier characters we have seen in the big screen.
Englund is married for the third time but he never had children to follow his path. Robert has been playing Freddy Krueger in all the franchise movies however in the last reboot, Nightmare: Return to Elm Street, Englund didn't take part.
Although he is mostly famous for his Fredy Krueger role, Englund had other top roles in 2001 Maniacs and The Phantom of the Opera where Freddy Krueger was the Phantom. Though we wish him to reprise the role, Englund has confessed that he has officially retired from being Freddie Krueger.
Glynis Johns — 1923
Glynis Johns is a woman who has done incredible things all her life. By the age of ten years old, she was a certified ballet instructor! She actually took to performing on stage at the age of 12.
She touched fame through her appearances in various films. Broadway shows surely added on to her popularity, more so in her role for A Little Night Music where she paired up with Stephen Sondheim.
The film even had a song written and tuned exclusively for her. Her performance on the movie led her to receive Tony. Glynis also starred in The Sundowners and Mary Poppins and got nominated for the Oscars, too. In the year 1963, she earned herself the prestigious Golden Globe. Today, she is leading a peaceful life with proper health insurance done and a credit score well up to the mark.
Morgan Freeman — 1937
Veteran actor Morgan Freeman is most famous for his roles in Street Smart, Invictus, and The Shawshank Redemption. It was for Million Dollar Baby, though, that he finally won the much-coveted Oscar.
Being one of the highest-paid stars and box office starts, he has a net worth of a staggering $150 million and has worked with the biggest stars of Hollywood. After an unsuccessful first marriage, his attorney announced in 2007 that he was in divorce proceedings which finally happened in 2010.
Morgan has yet to retire, and we wish him many more years to come! What’s amazing to think of is that Freeman was introduced to acting in a very funny way. His first role was in school, as a form of punishment! Needless to say, that role in the school drama that he was forced to act in turned out to be a life-changing moment.
Sophia Loren – 1934
The stunning Sophia Loren started acting at the age of 15. Her performances in Two Women, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, Sunflower, and Marriage Italian Style not only captured the audience’s attention but won her several awards including an Oscar and she also won a Grammy for her amazing musical talent.
She actually performed under other screen names, namely Sofia Lazzaro and Sofia Scicolone. She has a net worth of $75 million and even at 85, she maintains her beauty routine and looks every bit a diva even today.
In the 80s, she took a semi-retirement from movies and only appeared in selective roles as she wanted to bring up her children and spend more time with them. Loren is actually an accomplished cook and even wrote three cookbooks! Her memoir was published in 2014, called Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Her last role was in 2009 in Nine.
John Astin – 1930
John Astin's career started when he played Gomez Addams in the series The Addams Family. His other important works include West Side Story and National Lampoon’s European Vacation.
After his retirement from a noteworthy acting career, he now teaches directing and acting at the John Hopkins University. The fact that he loves to stay active at this age and doesn’t want to go to retirement homes is a source of inspiration for many.
He had three marriages and five sons from them. The first two marriages had ended in divorce. He is a father of five sons, three from his first wife and two with his second wife. His two most recent films were in 2015 and in 2009. In terms of his TV roles are more recent, with his latest being in 2017 in Justice League Action as ‘Uncle Dudley’.
Janis Paige – 1922
Janis Paige started her career as a singer, and at a very young age, she was already singing at the Hollywood canteen which was where she was noticed. Later, she starred in movies like Romance On the High Seas, and Two Gals and A Guy. She also starred in Broadway musicals like The Pajama Game.
Later, she returned to Hollywood and gave big hits like Bachelors In Paradise, Silk Stockings, and The Caretakers. She also appeared in TV series It's Always Jan.
In fact, after her divorce, she married the creator of that TV series Arthur Stander, but divorced him, too. In the early 2000s, she lost her voice completely but got it back after prolonged treatment. Thank goodness, she didn't have to undergo surgery for that.
Cara Williams — 1925
Cara Williams starred in a number of motion pictures in the 50s, and one of her remarkable performances was in The Defiant Ones. Pete and Gladys were aired over a period of two years and received quite an acclamation from the critics.
Williams was actually nominated for an Emmy Award for her performance in Pete and Gladys. After facing some hiccups in her personal life, Cara has happily settled down with her husband, Asher Dann. Quitting cinema, Williams decided to pursue her passions, apart from acting and has structured up her business of interior designing and showing no signs of retirement.
Her last film role was way back in 1978 in The One Man Jury as ‘Nancy’. Her most recent television role doesn’t follow much more recently, coming in at 1982 in In Security as ‘Doris Gleen’. Cara Williams passed on plenty of talent to her daughter, actress Drew Barrymore, and to her son, former actor John Blyth Barrymore.
Arlene Dahl — 1925
Arlene Carol Dahl has dabbled in many career options throughout her life. She attained popularity with Journey to the Center of the Earth and Slightly Scarlet. After her successful stint in movies, she decided to venture into a different territory.
But actually, it was after giving birth to her eldest son that she slowed down her acting to a halt. Arlene put up a business of her own and dealt in beauty products, as well as ladies’ lingerie.
When her business closed down, she took up employment in an agency that specialized in advertising. Besides that, she became a columnist and amassed quite a lot of money selling and promoting beauty products and advertisements. Her copper looks give her a lustrous glow and we would definitely wish to know the name of her anti-aging cream. She is a mother of three, and her eldest son is an actor named Lorenzo Lamas.
Carla Balenda — 1925
Carla Balenda starred in a few minuscule film roles, appearing under her screen name, Sally Bliss. But Carla’s career got perfectly accelerated when she starred opposite Mickey Rooney, one of the famous stars hailing from the era of silent films.
Not very many entertainers or performers from this era are around these days, and the world is lucky to have a few survivors of this wonderful era of entertainment. Though she had appeared in a string of television shows, Cara remains popular due to her work in her films which are all remembered and appreciated until today.
Her debut film role was in 1944, in Swing in the Saddle, as ‘Judy Bayliss’. She acted in two more films that same year. She carried on film acting until 1966, with her last appearance being in Seconds, in a minor role as the operating room nurse. We wish to see her having a peaceful retirement, surely with the help of an adequate pension plan.
Marcy McGuire — 1926
Marcy McGuire, as a teenager, made an agreement with studio RKO. She starred in several movies like Higher and Higher, Career Girl, and Seven Days' Leave. Marcy had the honor and privilege when she shared the screen with legendary actors like Lucille Ball and Frank Sinatra.
After spending almost ten years in Hollywood, Marcy decided to call it quits. Her film appearances started in 1942 with Seven Days’ Leave and ended in 1963 with Summer Magic.
She was only sixteen years old when she was cast in her first role, signing a contract with RKO Pictures. We are quite sure that Marcy has enough wealth stacked up that will take care of her throughout her retirement. Her penultimate role before going into retirement was in Jumping Jack in 1952. She will forever be remembered for that specific role, above all the others she has under her belt!
Carleton Carpenter — 1926
Carleton Carpenter is a film, TV, and stage actor who happens to also be a novelist, songwriter, and magician! He started out with stage career, but later on, set his foot in the film industry.
He was a proficient actor, singer, writer, and magician and made an indelible mark for himself in the Hollywood arena, with his diversified talents. Carleton managed to put together incredible material for artists like Marlene Dietrich, Kaye Ballard, and Debbie Reynolds. During the 70s and 80s, he was a mystery novelist and released a number of books.
As an actor, Carleton had the pleasure of touring to various corners of the world. Today, he is sitting back and relaxing, and in the meantime, emerging on the stage as a guest star and giving ample time to his novels. The secret of his relaxed life must be his savings or the pension he receives. In 2016, Carpenter published his memoir, titled The Absolute Joy of Work.
Jacqueline White — 1922
Though Jacqueline had a short-lived career, she did leave quite an impact on her talent. As a student of the UCLA, her performance in a play was caught sight of, and the rest is something everyone knows.
Jacqueline always had in her what it takes to be a huge movie star. Funnily enough, she was actually childhood friends with actress Lynn Merrick, losing contact after relocating but reuniting to act together in Three Hearts for Julia.
She mesmerized all with her craft and ravishing looks in The Narrow Margin and several RKO and MGM films, as well. With a family of 5 children and her grandchildren, Jacqueline is leading a peaceful life in her retirement home. It was in the year 1950 that she retired from her acting career. She occasionally makes an appearance for film conventions, like her attendance of the 2013 TCM Classic Film Festival. Her husband passed on in 2000.
Cora Sue Collins — 1926
Cora Sue Collins starred in numerous motion pictures in her childhood. From The Scarlet Letter to Queen Christina and the famous Anna Karenina, she has captured many hearts with her performances.
After attaining adulthood, she did what most child stars did back then. Cora Sue Collins bid goodbye to her acting career and concentrated on being a wife. Perhaps she didn't enjoy the bright lights of Hollywood that much and preferred to live a quiet life.
She tied the knot with a theater owner and lived her life with him until the time he breathed his last. We hope she has saved her wealth that she earned all her life so that she can live the remaining days in her retirement home in peace.
Conrad Janis - 1928
Conrad Janis, who was born to writer parents, chose to ply his trade in show business. Janis starred alongside George Montgomery in the crime noir film The Brasher Doubloon, but that was just the beginning of it.
Following the success of the movie, he ventured into the world of television and starred in many successful TV shows, including The Buddy Holly Story, but he is perhaps popular for playing the character of Fred McConnell in Mork & Mindy.
In the latter part of his career, he strived to keep alive the traditional jazz and even formed a jazz band. There have been no news about his retirement, but whatever he is doing right now, we hope he is happy and in good health.
Peggy Dow - 1928
The gorgeous and young lady you see here is none other than Peggy Dow. Peggy was handpicked by a talent agent who cast her in a TV show. Her talent didn’t go unnoticed and she was offered a seven-year contract by Universal.
She appeared in several films and TV shows after that, with Bright Victory being the most notable of them all. Her debut was in the year 1949 in the film titled Undertow. Her last appearance was in I Want You in 1951. All in all, she acted in nine films. She also featured in a number of crime dramas.
Dow later married Walter Helmerich III, an oil baron, remaining married to him for six decades before his death. Dow actually retired from acting only three years after her debut in the industry in order to marry Helmrich. After her retirement form entertainment, she redirected her focus to philanthropic work. She is also an active supporter of libraries.
Nancy Olson - 1928
Nancy Ann Olson carved her own niche in the showbiz by acting in popular films such as Battle Cry and Sunset Boulevard. She later started appearing in various Disney films.
Her pairing with Fred MacMurray in Disney productions such as Son of Flubber received rave reviews from the movie-goers. But Nancy had other plans as she soon switched to Broadway.
She is a woman with loads of talent, as she has even earned an Academy Award nomination for Sunset Boulevard in 1950. She co-starred in four films with famous actor William Holden as well. Technically speaking, she is enjoying retirement (she has technically been retired since the early 80s), but she still makes occasional appearances, often uncredited. She was married twice. First to Alan Jay Lerner and then to Alan W. Livingston. She is a mother of three, two daughters and one son.
Ann Blyth - 1928
The evergreen Ann Marie Blyth held spellbound Broadway audiences for many years with her honeyed voice and acting talent before she was finally contracted by Universal. She was mostly busy doing musicals such as Bowery to Broadway until she was cast by Warner Brothers in film noir Mildred Pierce.
The film was a huge critical and commercial success and Ann even got nominated for an Academy Award for her role. She was also nominated for a Laurel Award in the year 1958 for Top Female Musical Performance.
Even after her marriage with James McNulty, she did not lose focus from her acting career. However, it was once she had her children that her focus changed. Ann let her acting take the back seat so that she could raise her five kids instead. She still looks gorgeous, and we guess she must be using high-end anti-aging products.
Kathleen Hughes - 1928
It was in a Little Theatre production that she was discovered. Kathleen Hughes began acting in 1948 by signing a seven-year contract with American film studio 20th Century Fox.
If you used to watch sci-fi films a lot during the 1950s, you might distinctly remember the cult sci-fi film It Came From Outer Space and Jane, the character portrayed by the flamboyant Kathleen Hughes.
Before announcing her retirement in 1998, Kathleen appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, probably keeping in mind to make a strong foothold before she left the limelight. In terms of her stage works, her best work was in Seven Year Itch, a play. Hughes was married to Stanley Rubin, a producer. The pair wed in the year 1954 and remained happily married for 59 years until his death at the old age of 96 years old.
Jane Powell - 1929
Jane Powell, who was sort of a local celebrity in Portland, her hometown before she made her move to tinsel town, finally made her screen debut in the mid 1940’s. By 1948, Jane got busy acting in popular musicals, sometimes alongside one of the greatest dancers in the history of Hollywood, Fred Astaire.
She was a sensation in a number of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musicals. It was when she moved to Los Angeles that she signed up with the company. It was around this time when she appeared alongside Fred in Royal Wedding. However, her film career slowed down in the late 1950’s, and she turned to theatre.
There’s still no doubt about her talents because her dancing, vocal and singing talents were all used for supporting roles in many musicals like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, A Date With Judy and Hit the Deck. Jane is still a somewhat busy stage actress, and she maintains her superb fitness even at 89.
Warren Beatty – 1937
Actor and filmmaker Warren Beatty is a critically acclaimed actor and has been nominated for an Oscar for his work as an actor, director, writer as well as a producer.
He won the Academy Award finally, not once but twice for Heaven Can Wait and Reds. Dick Tracy, Shampoo, and Bonnie And Clyde are his other hits. He was not just a talented man in his hey days but he was one good-looking charming chap as well!
Retirement homes can wait another decade or two before they see Warren Beatty stepping in. It seems age has nothing to do with his activities. His fitness proves that he is aging in reverse. And we do hope that we'll see more of this talented man on screen in the times to come!
Margaret Kerry - 1929
Margaret Kerry got the attention of New York City Illustrated Song performer Eddie Cantor at a young age. He cast her as his daughter in 1948 comedy movie If You Knew Susie.
Afterward, Kerry started working in television and also lent her voice on numerous occasions. Famous for her unmatched voice modulation abilities, Margaret can speak in many different dialects. Most famously, she lent her voice for the character of Tinker Bell 1953 Disney production Peter Pan.
Retirement is still out of the question as she still works as a writer and producer for a Christian radio station. She just married her old boyfriend in February 2020, after rekindling a flame after 70 years! She married WWII veteran Robert Boeke, who is 94 years old! Now that’s true love people – the kind that lives on for 70 years and waits for the right moment!
Tommy Cook - 1930
Tommy Cook was still a kid when he started acting in a few feature films, including Tarzan and The Leopard Woman. He later worked as a voice actor for several radio shows and also behind the camera for a number of animated series.
Cook also played many voice –over roles in animations, like in The Funky Phantom and Jabberjaw. If you liked the character of Walley West from CBS animated series The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure, know that this man lent his voice for the character. The 1977 film called Rollercoaster was actually based on a story compiled by Cook himself.
By the 1980s, Tommy had amassed enough wealth to pay his health insurance premiums for the rest of his life and he stopped working in Hollywood. His last Hollywood film was in 1972, called The Thing With Two Heads, a film in which he played the Priest.
Annie Ross - 1930
Annie Ross, the musical talent, moved to Europe when she was in the tenth grade. As a struggling jazz artist, she started recording solo albums before forming a trio with Dave Lambert and Jon Hendricks in the band Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. She recorded a total of seven albums with the band between the years 1957and 1962. She toured with them all over the globe!
Annie Ross also started her own nightclub in London in 1964, which she called Annie’s Room. She also dabbled in a lot of acting and voice acting as well, making appearances in Basket Case 2 and Blue Sky.
Things took a turn for the worse when her ex-husband died in a car accident and her savings got drained. At one point, she had to file for bankruptcy but she has recuperated now, thankfully, and is focused on her health and well-being.
Darryl Hickman - 1930
Paramount entered a contract with Darryl Hickman when he was still a kid, and he was cast as Ronald Colman’s child in the 1937 film The Prisoner of Zenda.
Later, Bing Crosby was so impressed to see the performance of young Darryl at an audition that Darryl was chosen for multiple roles. When he grew up, Darryl went on to make a career in scriptwriting and production. He also became an acting coach and a television executive.
At this point, he mainly worked in New York City. Still busy in some capacity, Darryl Hickman thinks that today’s Hollywood actors need some mentoring and ambition. He also wrote a book about acting techniques that was published in 2007. It goes without saying that he maintains a good credit score till now and has not yet opted for reverse mortgage loans. Hickman wed actress Pamela Lincoln and had two sons with her.
Jackie Mason – 1931
Well-known comedian and actor Jackie Mason is best known for The World According To Me and Jackie Mason On Broadway and being the voice behind Hyman Krustofski in The Simpsons. For The World According TO Me, he received an Emmy Award and a Tony Award. Even for the Simpsons, he received an Emmy Award!
His witty and humorous one-liners have entertained the audience for years. In the list of top 1000 greatest stand-ups and comedians of all time by Comedy Central, Mason was ranked in 63rd place – quite an achievement!
At 86, he is quite active, though he has retired from the world of entertainment, it seems. We wish him good health and many more years of active life. He is married to his once-upon-a-time manager, Jyll Rosenfeld. He has a daughter named Sheba Mason who is also a comedian, having followed in her talented dad’s footsteps!
Mickey Kuhn - 1932
You probably know Mickey as Beau Wilkes in the epic historical romance movie Gone with the Wind. During the 1930s, 1940’s and 1950’s, Mickey appeared in many notable movies such as Marlon Brando starrer A Streetcar Named Desire.
Kuhn happens to be the only actor to have been able to share screen time with Vivien Leigh in every one of her Oscar-winning performances. However, he decided to quit Hollywood in the 1950s and now works as a volunteer at a Florida hospital.
He lives in Naples and volunteers at the local hospital for a couple of hours every week. We just hope he takes proper care of his health, too. He and Olivia De Havilland are the only two remaining surviving cast members of Gone With the Wind (two other actors who were cast are also living but were uncredited, so not counted).
Ted Donaldson – 1933
Ted Donaldson is a former child actor who started off as a radio actor, playing a character on NBC radio show A Christmas Carol. His debut film role was in the year 1944 when he got to prove his mettle as an actor in the role of Arthur Pinky Thompson in Once Upon A Time.
He had a good lineup of films through to 1949, and then his film career slowed with two more films before it halted. His last two films were in 1952 and in 1953.
The 1952 role being in Phone Call From a Stranger and his 1953 role being an uncredited role in Flight Nurse. Later on, debutant director Eliza Kazan cast the teenage Ted in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Sadly, after appearing in the 1953 war film Flight Nurse, Ted bid adieu to showbiz. In his entire life, “Pudge" did not check into any rehabilitation centers and that in it of itself is a big achievement.
Margaret O'Brien — 1937
Margaret O'Brien started her career earlier than most stars. She came to prominence with her role in Journey Of Margaret. Born as Angela Maxine O'Brien, her screen name from Journey Of Margaret stuck with her, and eventually, she decided to change her name. For her exquisite acting skills at that age, she even received a Juvenile Academy Award.
Her other movies include Meet Me In St Louis, The Canterville Ghosts, and Jane Eyre. As an adult, she did TV shows as well. In an interesting turn of events, she got back her Oscar that was stolen from her when she was only 17.
Fast forward fifty years, and she finally found it, though the Academy Awards committee had already given her a replica of her award when they learned about the theft. Yet, she never lost hope and eventually, found it. Looking at her now, a good diet and fitness routine must have helped her in her old age.
Russ Tamblyn — 1934
Russell Irving Tamblyn started out his acting career as a child actor, with a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He was best known for playing Norman Page in Peyton Place. His performance was so good that he was even nominated for an Academy Award.
His other noteworthy movies include West Side Story, Twin Peaks, and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. Born to actor parents, he was into dancing and singing from a young age. He made his entry into Hollywood when he was still young. Thanks to his exposure to gymnastics in his childhood.
He brought with his acting his acrobatic and gymnastic talents, which producers made use of in the films he was cast in. He was very much active until 2015 but had to undergo a heart surgery which developed some complications, and he had to go into rehab. He was not seen in movies post that incident.
George Chakiris — 1934
George Chakiris is a Greek actor known for his performance in the film version of West Side Story. But before starring in that 1961 classic, he debuted in Song Of Love and landed himself in various other small roles.
He was a dancer in the movie Gentleman Prefers Blonde where Marilyn Monroe sang "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend". His acting skills in West Side Story didn't go unnoticed as he won both an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.
George Chakiris rose to fame quickly, and he was paid $100,000 for every movie back in the 60s. He didn't want to retire early, and in the 70s and 80s, he appeared in various television series like Wonder Woman, Medical Center, and Hawaii Five-O. His last performance was in 1996, and since then, he has been spending his time nicely in retirement. We hear he has a new profession now —a jewelry designer.
Liza Minelli — 1946
Seventy-two-year-old Liza Minelli is perhaps most famous for playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret. She is also known for being actress Judy Garland's daughter.
In the early 1960s, she moved to New York where she began her career as a musical theater actress, nightclub performer, and a traditional pop recording artist. Soon, her talent was recognized, and she even won a Tony Award for her role in the musical Flora The Red Menace. Her TV show, Liza With A Z, also won rave reviews and won her an Emmy Award.
Though her other movies received lukewarm success in the box office, her Broadway performances were a different story. Her career took off as she went on international concerts, performing alongside big names like Frank Sinatra. Perhaps it was the pressure of fame that got to her as she struggled with substance abuse, but thankfully, she booked herself into rehab. Apart from a few guest appearances, she has not been seen much on screen.
Beau Bridges — 1941
Son of Lloyd Bridges and brother of actor Jeff Bridges, Beau Bridges is a celebrated actor. He has won several awards including three Emmys, a Grammy, and two Golden Globes, having also been nominated twice for the Screen Actors Guild Award.
Interestingly enough, Beau's first career choice was to become a basketball player as he played for his university in his freshman year, but later on, he served as a coast guard for eight years.
Though before his time as a coast guard, he already tried his hand in an uncredited role in the film noir Force of Evil. After that, he started appearing in various TV series such as his father's CBS anthology series The Lloyd Bridges Show, The Fugitive, The Loner, and National Velvet. Retirement homes can wait because it doesn't seem like Beau might retire anytime soon.
Rita Moreno — 1931
Did you know that there are only 12 artists who have won all the major American awards in the entertainment industry? Well, Puerto Rican actress Rita Moreno is one of them.
She has won an Oscar, a Tony, a Grammy, and an Emmy. Says a lot about her talent, doesn't it? Her love for dancing led her to learn it from a dance teacher. She attracted attention when she performed on Broadway; her film career took off very soon.
She won an Oscar for her role in West Side Story. Though she dated Marlon Brando for eight long years, she ended up marrying a cardiologist. Well, that ensured that she wouldn't have to pay much for her insurance, though she wouldn't have minded for sure. Having a fat bank account does have its uses.
Larry Storch — 1923
Larry Storch will always be remembered for his comic roles and for lending his voice to cartoon shows. He dropped out of college during the Great Depression and instead performed as a stand-up comedian to earn money.
He later served the American Navy. Afterward, he appeared as a guest in several TV series like Sonny and Cher, Laugh-In, Hollywood Squares, and The Hollywood Palace.
He has also acted in more than 25 movies like Who Was That Lady?, A Very Special Favor, and The Monitors. He is nothing short of a legend now and has been referred to in popular culture as well. If he takes care of his nutrition and fitness, he will definitely stay healthy for many more years to come.
Eva Marie Saint – 1924
Academy-award winning actress Eva Marie Saint got her Oscar for her roles in On The Waterfront and North By Northwest; her other movies include A Hatful Of Rain and The Russians Are Coming.
After a hiatus of almost a decade, she came back to work and acted in Nothing In Common and I Dreamed Of Africa. She also earned a BAFTA Award nomination and won a Primetime Emmy Award! She is certainly a highly accomplished actress!
At 93, she is the image of grace, and we wonder what her anti-aging secrets are. But we won't be seeing much of her beauty in the big screen anymore as she now spends her days in peaceful retirement in 2014. Saint married Jeffrey Hayden way back in 1951 and they remained happily wed until death did them apart – Hayden died in 2016at 90 years old.
Sidney Poitier – 1927
The actor who gave us hits like Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, To Sir With Love, and In The Heat Of Night is none other than Sidney Poitier. For his role in Lilies Of The Field, he won the Oscar and Golden Globe and was the first black actor to win those awards to place himself comfortably in the white-dominated Hollywood industry, during that time.
His movies revolving around the theme of racism made a great impact on society. His breakthrough character as Gregory Miller in Blackboard Jungle portrayed a vivid picture of juvenile violence, while in The Defiant Ones Poitier was shown as an escaped black prisoner shackled to a white fellow, who rose above the social stigma of racism in order to survive.
The flawless performance of Poitier saw him winning the BAFTA, as he went on breaking the class barrier through the rendition of his roles in the film. After his retirement from movies, Poitier served as the Bahamian Ambassador to Japan and ventured into directing and singing.
Sir David Attenborough — 1926
Sir David Attenborough is rightly called one of the few living legends in England. The number of titles and honors that follow his name is enough to make us awestruck.
His parents taught him to be kind and compassionate from a very young age. That must have struck a chord with him as he fell in love with nature. Later, his love got reflected in his world-renowned documentaries on Natural Sciences for BBC.
His nine documentaries that form the Life collection are still considered the best in the industry. At 92, he is still working and in fact returned to presenting in 2017 for Blue Planet II. His spirit and enthusiasm are highly infectious. May he stay in the pink of health as he continues to share his love for nature!
Nehemiah Persoff — 1919
Nehemiah Persoff is an American actor who has been featured in over 200 movies, plays, and TV shows. Started off the career as a subway electrician, he eventually ended up becoming a star of the Tinseltown — from rags to riches, the fairytale story of Persoff is an inspiration to us.
His mastery over different dialects has helped him immensely to represent the evil characters in the films. He is known for his amazing performances in Some Like It Hot, and The Greatest Story Ever Told. Later in his life, he also appeared in TV shows like Hawaii Five-O, The Untouchables, and Route 66.
But, his health started failing him in the eighties, and he was compelled to retire in 1999. Since then, he picked up the brush and colors to create numerous of artworks. Now 100 years-old Persoff spends his time dabbling in art, without worrying about bankruptcy.
Caren Marsh-Doll — 1919
Just like Jerry Maren in this list, Caren Marsh-Doll was also part of the original cast of 1939 classic The Wizard Of Oz, having been Judy Garland's stand-in as they both had the same physique.
Having started her career in the silent film era, she happens to be one of the last surviving stars of that period. She featured in several other vintage films of the 40s, such as That Night in Rio, Best Foot Forward, Sorority Girls, Navajo Kid etc. Later in her life, she slowly shifted to dancing and has pursued it since then. Hailed as Miss Sky Lady, Caren Marsh went a step further to learn how to fly a plane to drop leaflets of her acting portfolio on many famous movie studios of Hollywood.
Though she was part of a horrendous plane crash, Caren was lucky enough to survive it with minor injuries. Being even survived for more than 100 years, she surprisingly remains as healthy as a clam and has been known to volunteer for teaching dance once a week. She deserves a lot of respect for showing such enthusiasm at her age.
Tony Bennett — 1926
Tony Bennett happens to be one of those artists who can be safely called timeless. His songs have been rocking the audience since the 50s, and, even now, his concerts are immensely popular as tickets get sold out very quickly.
Following a gap of quite a few years, Bennett made a brilliant comeback in the late 80s, gaining a foothold in the newly sprouted up MTV generation. With 19 Grammy Awards in his bag, his classic, old-school musical style has never gone through much of a change. His artistic approach has helped to redefine the jazz music to some extent.
Today, he is still actively performing in live concerts often with other popular celebs of modern times like Lady Gaga, and Andrea Bocelli. His 2011 album Duets II topped the Billboard charts. Thus, Tony became the oldest musician alive to top the charts, selling more than 50 million records globally. Even in his late nineties, legendary singer Tony Bennett is still a livewire, thanks to his amazing fitness.
Eve Plumb - 1958
Eve Plumb pursued her career both in acting and as a painter. One of her best works include the role of Jan Brady in the super popular sitcom The Brady Bunch.
Her career started off in commercials when she was just 7 years of age, and since then she got several roles including, The Big Valley and Lassie. In fact, she reprised her role as Brady on several reunion series and films thereafter. Plumb debuted in her first feature film doing a minor role in I’m Gonna Git You Sucka.
The 62-year old is a prominent artist as well and her work has been often displayed in art galleries across America. She has kept a great tab on her diet, as apparent from her looks, and believes in the painting being a creative outlet in her life. She’s earned enough money in these years and we believe her old age will not be something she has to worry about.
Queen Elizabeth II — 1926
The ruler of Great Britain and other Commonwealth countries since 1952, Queen Elizabeth II has reached her nineties, but she is still as active as she was 20 years back. It is not unusual to see her in public gatherings as a guest of honor.
However, the Queen doesn't have a retirement age, hence the best part is she will be the monarch for as long as she wants. In 2002, the Queen celebrated her Golden Jubilee. As the mother of Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales and the mother-in-law to Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla(Princess Diana was her first daughter-in-law), she has divided the responsibilities well.
She is the proud great-grandmother of Prince Williams' and Kate’s three children- Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, of Cambridge. The royal family has also welcomed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's baby, and the Queen must be very pleased to see her family extending.

Patton enrolled herself at the University of Michigan; and going by the fortune that she had made in her career, a student loan was never on the cards.
For a very long time, Patton gave interviews about the film as she was the last surviving member of the adult actors in the film. Quite a successful businesswoman, Virginia proved her mettle till she breathed her last in 2018. We believe she settled in her retirement home after a point of time.

She took a temporary hiatus from acting and concentrated on studies, sans any student loan. She pursued drama and music and turned out to be a successful and competent writer in both the spheres. A few years later, she made a comeback on the stage with My Fair Lady.
Even when Marilyn took a break in her adult days from acting, she continued her activities in local theatre productions that ensured her earnings were managed well. If you look back to Hollywood 1930s, she’s one of the oldest actors surviving. At 94, she lives in a retirement home in California.

The actor whose family was of Irish heritage, was raised with eight other siblings! He has aged enough (97 he is) and we wonder how much of healthy foods he has to consume to stay fit and fine. But of course, there is his spouse who must be battling with old age likewise, but together they’re good. Along with his wife, he stays in his retirement home in California.
Gloria Henry - 1923
The CBS series Dennis The Menace was quite popularly in the 1950's-60's and Gloria Henry played Dennis's mother in that series. This was the most significant role in her career.
After her launching her career in radio and theater, she slowly moved on to doing movies. But her film career was limited to her doing a few minor and lesser-known movies.
It was sitcom Dennis The Menace that helped her establish herself as an actress. After the sitcom was over, she continued working for other TV series. Finally, in 2005, she called it quits. We hope she had done her retirement planning already before quitting. Born in the year 1923, Gloria is now three years short of attaining a century. She still maintains a disciplined lifestyle and we guess, that’s what keeps her going.

Annette also dubbed her voice for industry stalwarts like Lucille Ball, Ava Gardner, Iris Adrian etc. She was married to a Jazz pianist for more than 5 decades.
Even at the age of 94, she is spirited enough to be active and sing at various clubs in New York. We can't help but wonder if she has some magic anti-aging potion! The glow she exudes is amazing and we can’t help but be in awe of her every time we see her in public.
Sara Shane - 1928
Elaine Hollingsworth adopted the stage name of Sara Shane and appeared in several films and TV series during the 1950s and 1960s. Apparently the name change was her publicist's idea who was inspired by the movie with the same name.
Some of her most noteworthy performances were in the movies The King And Four Queens where she acted alongside Clark Gable and Tarzan's Greatest Adventure in 1959 which was also her last movie.
Though she did retire from films, she continued acting on television. In 1964, she finally took retirement from the entertainment business. She has her own business now and she is also a noted author. At 92 now, Sara refuses to rest and spend some time relaxing on her own.

Moreover, she has an ample sum in her bank account and that’s more satisfying than anything else. She can lead the rest of her life in the utmost peace and comfort.
William Daniels - 1927
The Graduate, Two For The Road, Captain Nice - having acted in movies of this stature, William Daniels had a great career in films no doubt. Before he joined the film industry, he was in the army and we hear he even acted as a DJ at an Army radio station in Italy during World War II. After his stint with the army, he studied drama at Northwestern University.
He launched his acting career on Broadway. He is active even now. But we sure do hope all his years in Hollywood have helped him acquire a substantial amount of wealth that he can use for his retirement plan.
He had also served as the president of the Screen Actor's Guild and is a much-respected figure in Hollywood. He is in a marital alliance with film and television actress, Bonnie Bartlett since the year 1951 and it always gives us pleasure to see them together.

Coco, Something More, and The Price are some of her noteworthy shows. After a successful stint with television, she went on to do movies and acted in films like The Peacemaker, The Audrey Hepburn Story, and The Goddess, to name a few.
She retired from her acting career in 2011, and we hope she's doing well faraway from public scrutiny.

We know she has enough savings to her credit which will see her through and that’s what matters at the end of the day.
Rosemary Harris - 1927
It is hard not to recognize Aunt May from the Spiderman trilogy. Rosemary Harris has played the role to the tee and it is very hard to imagine someone else when we think of Aunt May. Her film and TV career started back in 1948, and her Broadway career took off in the early 1950s. Her acting is flawless and those talent shows given the number of nominations and awards she has received.
She is the proud recipient of a Tony, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe Award. It was in 2015 when she decided to retire from her very busy acting schedule to live a life of bliss.
Harris Was first married to Ellis Rabb from the year 1959 to 1967, and then to John Ehle from 1967 to the year 2018, when John left for his heavenly abode. She is adorable and you too would agree with us. Her banks are full and that is additional support.

Apache Rose was the cult classic from the 40s which acted as a springboard for Dona Martell. After getting into an agreement with Universal Studios, she worked many years for them.
After the contract was over, Donna entered into the television arena. Her work in Hollywood was highly acclaimed and she was awarded a Golden Boot. She tied the knot with Gene Corso, the famous athlete and it was a long-standing marriage, which ended when Gene breathed his last.
His last will made sure that Martell and their children were looked after. We are quite confident of Donna’s savings due to her long and illuminated career, and in addition to the pension that she receives, she will have ample to take care of her and her children’s health.
Margia Dean - 1922
Margia Dean started her career as a child actress and went on to become a beauty queen later in her career. Her exotic looks must have contributed to her popularity, and maybe that's why Robert Lippert was enthusiastic working with her in a number of B-movies. But the roles didn't impress her much, and finally, she took early retirement in 1964.
However, that did not affect her pension plans or financial status for she went on to become the VP of a real estate firm. She also worked on costume designing and interior decoration. Quite a colorful career graph, we must say!
Margia is in a conjugal relationship with Felipe Alvarez since the year 1965 and the two have stuck to each other for more than five decades. The former beauty queen and actress occupies a special place in her hearts for her gorgeous demeanor and effervescent smile.

In the latter half of her career, she concentrated on concerts, and as a singer, she traveled across the States. Most recently in 2014, Jones played the role of Mrs. McClain in the TV show, General Hospital. The lady shows no signs of retirement and is still raring to go.

She has been a crowd favorite ever since and rightly so. In April 2010, she received the NATAS Emmy Award. We're not sure what she's up to these days but we hope she has a solid retirement plan up her sleeve already.
Mitzi was married to Jack Bean from the year 1954 to 2006 when Jack breathed his last. Her savings account is full of all the currency she has earned throughout her career. We take heart from the fact that she is doing pretty good even at the age of 88.

Most recently, Caron had made an appearance as Countess Marvodaki in the TV show The Durrells in 2016. We are not aware of any surgery that she may have undergone throughout her life, and going by her looks, she does seem to have aged naturally.

For her services and contributions to drama, she got the honor of being appointed as the Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2013. We are sure of her leading a relaxed life, owing to her hefty pension.

She is currently busy on a stage adaptation of her novel, Mommie Dearest, on Broadway, as well as authoring the third book in her trilogy. Considering how active she still is, Christina seems to be at the peak of her fitness even at this age.
Though she had to spend a lot of dollars in appointing a divorce lawyer in all her three marriages, Christina never had any issues with her finances and that’s definitely a good sign. She is known to maintain quite a cool demeanor at the age of 81 and we are really willing to know what she eats to stay so much active even at this age.

Most probably, she took a semi-retirement from her acting career somewhere in the middle of the 50s but has eventually made a comeback. She is quite active in the industry despite being well into her nineties and it’s surely owing to the healthy lifestyle that she leads. We are not sure of how long would she continue working, but we are really fond of her and would miss her when she calls it quits eventually.
Geraldine Chaplin – 1944
Charlie Chaplin’s fourth child has proven her acting prowess in French, Spanish and English films. After starting her career as a dancer, she concentrated on her acting career. She had her Broadway debut with The Little Foxes.

We haven’t heard of any upheavals in their relationship and we believe that the two are absolutely made for each other. Maria is surely having a blissful time in her retirement home now. At 82, she is still looking very pretty and adorable. We have to admit that her infectious smile continues to make our day.

Personally, he hasn’t been that blessed, but his success on the professional front has wiped off all the disappointments he might have faced. He is well into his eighties but still is as fit as a fiddle. We always want him to be in proper shape and good health as well. Some of his major works are In Cold Blood, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Lost Highway, and The Purple Gang.

The American actress took retirement from her acting career in 1952. Right now, she is enjoying her life in Arizona which seems to be her retirement home and is known by the name of Edna Green.
Aside from Shadow of a Doubt, we have enjoyed her work in The Model and the Marriage Broker, Sunny Side of the Street, The Bells of St. Mary’s, and This Love of Ours. Edna will soon enter into the ninth decade of her life, but she has nothing to worry about. She is financially secure and we believe she is doing good health-wise. Though her career was short-lived, she did make her mark as an accomplished actress.

She stayed married to Robert Basart till his death in the year 1993. She has maintained her two kids amazingly and has left no stone unturned in making their future secure from all aspects.

Throughout a career that encompassed almost five decades, Nita raked in a stupendous amount of money. With that, she surely has made all the provisions for a balanced and happy life.
Standing on the verge of the nineties, she is known for her flawless beauty. We have to admit that she does make us fall in love with her every time we set our eyes on Nita. Hopefully, she will continue to rule our hearts like this.
Brigitte Bardot – 1934

In the 1950s and 60s, her beauty and acting prowess were much praised especially in movies like And God Created Woman, Goddard’s Le Mepris, and Louis Malle’s Viva Maria which brought her huge recognition. She is still a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
With a good diet and fitness routine, she could still have been an active star in tinsel town but decided instead to dedicate her time as a proactive animal rights activist.
We aren’t sure whether she has undergone a cosmetic surgery ever, but the way she carries herself at 85 is absolutely commendable. Bardot is married to her fourth husband, Bernard d’Ormale since the year 1992 and we guess, they wouldn’t ever need the services of a family law attorney.
