John Astin

The movie The Addams Family is one of the iconic films in history. Without their amazing cast, it will not be possible.

He was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and his father is a remarkable director of the National Bureau of Standards. While his family wanted him to follow a similar career, he went into acting as he wanted to be on TV.

We’re glad that Astin shares his experiences with aspiring actors and actresses and taught them the techniques he has learned throughout the years.

Tony Bennett

He shared on his social media account a video of himself crooning his song The Way You Look Tonight at the comfort of his home, and also probably safe with a home security system installed, during this current global situation. Bennett is a popular singer of big band, jazz, show tunes, and traditional pop songs. One of the biggest investments he made was founding the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens, New York. The schools are dedicated to helping people who have a passion for art like him.
Aside from being a renowned singer, he also paints. It was his childhood interest to work and visit museums. In order to fulfill that dream, he paints each day, frequently the views from his hotel when on tour. With multiple talents like this man, life is probably never boring and spent well every day.

Barbra Streisand

You will never believe that Barbra Streisand is now living her best 78 years of life. It is amazing to hear that this artist remains to perform and create albums. Streisand is a prominent actress, singer, and filmmaker. Her career is now over seven decades, and throughout those years, she received many accolades and recognition. She is among the few artists who were awarded EGOT, which stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.

While many missed her on movies, she remains to work on upcoming albums and songs.

Sam Elliott

She hid the sender with an initial “M.” A lot have speculated that it is from Meghan Markle as the royal family recently moved to the Montecito neighborhood where Oprah lives.

Jaclyn Smith

Jaclyn Smith is famous for her role in the 1970s’ Charlie’s Angels. She and the other girls are known for sashaying with style and elegance while fighting crime on the said show.

Fast forward today, the Charlie’s Angels film has been made into three movies already, which were released separately in 2000, 2003, and 2019. Smith made few cameos on these said movies. As a result, many fans were thrilled to see the original cast in the film.

She credits her healthy lifestyle for her quick recovery as well as for youthful, which that everyone keeps noticing.

Billy Dee Williams

Considered to be the most famous African-American actor in the ‘70s, Billy Dee Williams has made headlines once again. Known for his cool personality and no-holds-bar commentaries, Williams shocked the media when he addressed himself in a gender-fluid manner. Known for being masculine and a sex symbol from the past, the fans and media got weary about his remarks. This event happened during the interview for the 2019 Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker movie. He later explained that he is referring to his masculine and feminine side.
Williams may not be as famous as he was before but he surely has earned plenty throughout his career and veered away from needing loans. Did you know that he is also a commissioned painter and has been doing voice acting? He voiced characters in Lego Movie, Lego Batman Movie, and, most recently in Lego Star Wars Holiday Special back in 2020.

She is the person behind the Ramona series and Henry Huggins series. She won several awards for her books, one of which is the National Book Award in 1981. A hall was even named after her at the University of California at Berkeley where she got her bachelor’s degree in English. She also got a master’s degree in Library Science, and later on, worked in a library for children.
Her job as a librarian inspired her to write books that have appeal to young readers. As she also struggled in reading in her early years, she wanted to help the young to read. She celebrated her 100th birthday in 2016 and is currently staying at a retirement home somewhere near Carmel Valley, California.

Denzel Washington

Malcolm X, Crimson Tide, Philadelphia, John Q and, Training Day are just a few of the many memorable and highly regarded films of Denzel Washington. Through these films, he was considered one of the most respected actors in the industry. Apart from his great acting skills and accolades, he is also known and respected for his causes. He is also well-admired for his long-lasting and solid marriage.

He has a film to be released this 2021 called The Little Things. He is also working on another project, The Tragedy of Macbeth that is still under works.

Elton John

If you have watched the 2019 film Rocketman starring Taron Egerton, you must have a deep understanding of who Elton John is. A pianist and songwriter, he rose to prominence as a musical artist loved worldwide. To this, he earns several accolades and recognitions locally and internationally. Likewise, his one-of-a-kind costumes and showmanship are to credit for his fame.

Steven Tyler

The rock icon, Steven Tyler, is one of the living legends of rock and roll today. He is now 72 years old but still active in the industry. He and his band Aerosmith have massive hit singles to their credit. Just like other musicians back in the days, Tyler has gone through many ups and downs throughout his career. Fortunately, he managed to get back on track and still be a relevant music personality to this day.
Tyler is one of the many celebrities who advocates staying safe at home during the current global situation. In a video taken in May 2020, he is seen having fun with a big horn in his private residence. While the band, Aerosmith, was on a break due to the pandemic in 2020, Tyler makes sure that his fans and followers get a dose of him as he updates his social media from time to time.

Sylvester Stallone

Who could ever forget the films, Rocky and Rambo? These films are already part of Hollywood History for their groundbreaking success worldwide. To that, we have one person to thank for making these films, Sylvester Stallone.
Stallone had a rough start in his career but now has a net worth of $400 million as of 2020 to his credit. He once thought of giving up since he cannot land a decent project. He was also said to have slept at a bus station for four days because he doesn’t have work to support his living. After appearing in uncredited roles and accepting minor roles, Stallone managed to get his breakthrough act in Rocky in 1976. The said film became a huge success and later made it into a franchise. This success gave Sylvester Stallone his celebrity status. Fast forward today, he is nowhere near retirement. His last films are Creed II in 2018 and Rambo: The Last Blood in 2019. Stallone eventually established Balboa Productions in 2018. According to reports, Stallone and his partner are now working on other projects in which he will play the lead role.

Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris turned 80 last March 2020. The veteran action star has so much credit to his name that he became the subject of several books such as The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 Facts About the World’s Greatest Human that became a New York Times Best Seller. Chuck Norris may be retired but is very much alive. Contrary to the hoax that spread in early 2020, Chuck is actually never out of the limelight. Norris may have announced his retirement back in 2018, but he is still accepting few small projects consecutively. His last film to date was in The Expendables 2 in 2012 with other legendary action stars such as Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, and Jet Li. His most recent appearance on TV was in April 2020 in the TV show Hawaii: Five-0. He also appeared in a QuikTrip commercial in 2020 where he did an incredible stunt, something he is famous for.

Diane Sawyer

Dianne Sawyer is one legendary woman in the news and journalism world. She was born into a prominent family – her father is Erbon Power Sawyer, a county judge, and her mother, Jean Sawyer, a school teacher. She was once a beauty queen during her high school years, which contributes to the reason why she is very much a darling on the television. She got her degree at Wellesley College where she majored in English. After few years of struggling to find her spot in the journalism industry, Sawyer got her foot indoor by becoming a general-assignment reporter in CBS News. Since then, she rose to prominence as a news anchor and morning news host. Sawyer became the first female correspondent of 60 Minutes. To her credit, she was also the first to report about the 9/11 attacks while she was on Good Morning America. In 2014, she announced that she was leaving ABC World News but is not yet retiring. Unfortunately, a personal tragedy struck the family that caused her to be out of the spotlight. She made her return just recently for the documentary special report for the COVID-19 pandemic in America.

Phil McGraw

Phil McGraw or more famously known as Dr. Phil rose to fame due to his talk show of the same name. Since then, he became a household name and one of the biggest personalities on TV. McGraw has a Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology. His interest in the said study is said to be influenced by his father, Joseph J. McGraw Jr., who is also a psychologist. Together they established their consulting services. McGraw left their business and established Courtroom Sciences, Inc (CSI). This opened doors for him to meet several personalities, including Oprah Winfrey, who helped him land his first show. As McGraw spanned his career as a TV personality, he also managed to grow his business and established a production company with his son, Jay McGraw. Just last May 2020, Dr. Phil made a comment regarding the pandemic’s effect on the mental health of people and made an honest mistake regarding the figures he mentioned during the interview.

Michael Douglas

Michael Douglas is one of the most successful and famous actors of all time. Even at his more advanced age, Douglas remains a notable figure in Hollywood. He and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones are investing more and more time into their marriage and family now that they are taking it slow in their careers. Don’t be mistaken, retirement is not in Douglas’ future yet; the 76-year-old is still attending red carpet events and Hollywood galas. His legendary father, Kirk Douglas, passed away not so long ago, leaving him heartbroken yet remaining strong. Just recently, Douglas met his first grandson and couldn’t be more teary-eyed. He said it was the most incredible moment he has ever had in his entire life. He even snapped a photo of him together with his one-month-old grandson Ryder. Other than that, he participates in charitable deeds.

Jack Nicholson

Another proud grandpa who made it onto this list is Jack Nicholson. Many people agreed that the grandson of this legendary actor looks a lot like him. In an interview, Jack said that he hasn’t felt anything as special as meeting a new member of his family for the first time. Jack’s unofficial retirement from show business has been the subject of rumors in Hollywood; his last appearance was on the TV show The Fight Game With Jim Lampley in 2016. Many were wondering what happened to him and the reasons behind his leaving the spotlight. What most people don’t know is that Jack was never planning to retire just yet, and he said, if he were to close his career, he would plan a grand exit or some sort of like a farewell party and announce it to the world. Well, all credit to Jack for thinking this way for he deserves just that.

Jay Leno

Jay Leno is one of the most popular and successful talk show hosts and comedians of all time. He even has one of the most viewed episodes on his live interview with former POTUS Donald Trump. Now, it is being said that Leno is set to revive the classical and iconic game show You Bet Your Life in 2021. It was originally done more than half a century ago by comedian and great celebrity Marx. We are confident that, even at an advanced age, Leno still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve to pull this one off! All credit to his undying passion and love for his career and what he does, he can certainly be the Marx of this generation that we all hope to experience. We cannot wait to witness this show and all of Leno’s natural humor. He is far from retirement, indeed.

Jimmy Buffett

Jimmy Buffet is a singer, actor, composer, songwriter, and producer. He is best known for his classic songs, including Margaritaville, which was his most undying single. It is still being mentioned up to this day – at award shows, TV shows, comedy lines, radios, and more. We bet that this song will be familiar even to our future grandchildren! If you think that this 74-year-old jack of all trades is thinking about retirement already, think again. To his credit, Jimmy is still very much active in the industry. In 2018, a Broadway musical called Escape to Margaritaville using his classic hits premiered. This 2021, he already has tickets for sale on his website together with his tour dates. We better grab ours now before they are all sold out! Or, we could just watch him from our homes or offices and enjoy the sweetness of Buffet performing live. It will surely bring us back to memories from a long time ago and how important they still are for us today – much like Buffet’s songs.

Kevin Costner

How we all wish we had a bodyguard like Kevin Costner. During his prime, he was one of the most successful names in Hollywood, and even though he hasn’t quite maintained his acting career up to his golden years, it doesn’t mean that Kevin is out of the picture totally. He still has the moves, the looks, and definitely the passion to pursue some more projects. Although those projects may not be what we think they are since they are not all that Hollywood-centered. Most of them are charitable projects, and just like his marriage is a well-kept private matter, Kevin knows how to deal with giving in privacy as well. For now, there is no need for fans to worry; Kevin is doing just fine. It doesn’t mean that he is unwell if he turned down a couple of roles. He must have a financial advisor handling his wealth. He is living a quiet life with his family and his wife. As far as we’re concerned, there is no better way to age than that.

Liam Neeson

Liam Neeson gave us one of the most unforgettable action sequels of all time, so you can’t blame us for wondering if he is doing okay or not. After all, he had a few setbacks from his younger career. Some stars shine brighter with age, and this is the case for the Irish actor. Once Liam decided that he was back in the game, there was definitely no stopping this action star. His movies are leaping gloriously from one to another, and they are all blockbusters to boot! A few months ago, Neeson opened up about the loss of his wife and how he recovered from such a rough patch in his life. He visited her grave and he was generous to share that information with the public. Maybe he thought it could help inspire a lot of people who are going through the same grief as him, and it did. All credits to Neeson for staying strong after the love of his life was taken from him.

Mark Harmon

We all love and adore this 69-year-old handsome special agent from NCIS, but he also had some pretty serious father figure roles along the way. One of the said roles was in Chasing Liberty, where he played the president of the United States of America and the father of Mandy Moore’s character. In real life, Harmon is a great father indeed. While many might be wondering what Harmon is up to today, Harmon emphasized that while he might be leaving the screens, he is always going to be around still for the events, especially for charity works and philanthropic efforts. There had been some issues with the actor and Pauley Perrette since the two have been costars for almost a decade but suddenly seemed to be holding a grudge against each other. Nevertheless, nothing seems to be out of the ordinary, since Hollywood didn’t find this concern new at all for celebrities. All credit to these two professionals for being willing to keep working on their issues no matter how heavy or big their misunderstanding or conflict might be.

Jean-Claude Van Damme

There was a time when Jean-Claude Van Damme was the hottest thing to ever happened in Hollywood. Right before our eyes, he blossomed in his career thanks to his acting skills and action stunts, not to mention his dashing good looks. He even popularized some of the most iconic classic dance moves that people use to this day. However, people age, that’s what people do. This does not exclude gods like Van Damme. If you ever wonder what the 60-year-old legend is up to now, he is doing just fine, posting pictures on his social media about his puppy. He does nothing but the chill in his newly found haven along with him slowly moving away from hectic Hollywood schedules. All credits to Van Damme for maintaining a healthy relationship with social media platforms so his fans can still get a hold of what he’s been up to.

Jessica Lange

Jessica Lange is one of the most famous actresses of her time. This 71-year-old blonde beauty is an award-winning actress who continues to take on huge projects. Some examples would be The Politician and American Horror Story. AHS has been such a huge TV success that Lange’s name redeemed its former glory, not that it was ever out of the picture. She might have taken a break from AHS too, but maybe she just has more important things to do in life. While Lange says she might be done with TV altogether, let’s not jump to the conclusion that she is planning to retire soon. She has been the spokesperson for aging beautifully and confidently facing the media at a golden age. She is also constantly breaking down her roles from King Kong to a hundred more, showing to the world that she is indeed one unforgettable piece of asset. She talks about road trips, Buddhism, and so much more. She also talks about activism. Looks like she’s got more on her plate than we predicted; all credits to this classy lady who also doesn’t seem to age at all!

Martha Stewart

One of the most talked-about celebrities in the past and in the present, Martha Stewart, is a beacon of light, beauty, and strength. We’re already guessing that she will remain an important figure in the future too, and probably a couple of years more after that. She might have experienced a few low moments in life, but who has not? Even at her darkest points in life, she has managed to turn some of the darkness into light. While she was under a correctional facility once, she decided to write a book inside and inspired tons of people. Martha will always be the queen of the kitchen to some degree. She has a good friendship with Snoop Dogg and is active in all of the Hollywood events. Even Richard Gere asks for her recipes! Today, the millionaire talks about who she might be dating or if she is even open to that. One way or another, it doesn’t look like we’re going to stop talking about her anytime soon.

Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan is one of the most beloved Bonds of all time. He is not just a legendary actor; he is also a good singer and an even better husband. He proved his singing talent when he joined the cast of Mamma Mia 1 and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again alongside Hollywood giants Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Lily James, Cher, Andi Garcia, Julie Walters, Colin Firth, and so much more. Brosnan is one of those actors who has aged like fine wine. He gets even better looking with age, if that’s even possible. He always has some serious dance moves. Brosnan is far from retirement. In fact, he has several projects lined up. Now, our Bond has been spending some quality time with his wife, Keely Shaye Smith, whom Brosnan is head over heels in love with. The couple recently celebrated their 25th anniversary. He revealed in an interview that there is something about Keely that makes him weak, especially every time she looks at him. All credits for this Bond for being so loyal! Talk about a real man!

Marla Gibbs

Marla Gibbs had successfully made a huge name in Hollywood when she did the CBS sitcom The Jeffersons. Her role as the maid Florence Johnston was so convincing she got five Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series nominations. The talented celebrity continued to wow the audience, doing the show’s spinoff, Checking In, and the NBC series 227, wherein she tried to put some investments in by being a co-producer. The star also sang the latter show’s theme song. In her successful, almost five-decade career, Gibbs received seven NACCP Image Awards—what a feat!
Fast forward to today, Gibbs maybe already 89 years old, but she’s continuously blessing us with her great talent. She has just completed two shorts and one movie project: Alone Together, Orpheus Star, and Headshop. The veteran actress is also part of the TV series The Last O.G. By the looks of it, retirement is not yet in Gibbs’ vocabulary.

Grady Demond Wilson

This 74-year-old actor and author, Grady Demond Wilson, is one of the very rare celebrities out there who knows how to keep their relationship life private. Not to mention, this one’s also a keeper. He is one of the few men in the world who knows how to invest in a long-term marriage. He’s been a loyal husband to his wife since 1974. The couple shares six lovely children together. There might have had a few mixes up about his name and some other Demond Wilson, but our Grady Demond Wilson is certainly active, healthy, and not going for retirement any time soon. He did not announce any big news for his upcoming gigs yet but we are pretty sure he has plans for what’s next in store for him. Well, whatever that is, we hope it is for the best because that’s what he deserves.

Steve Harvey

Aside from announcing the wrong name during the Miss Universe coronation, Steve Harvey is famous for so much more than just that. However, as the millennial generation being the majority of viewers and fans of shows nowadays, he’d probably be remembered for that for the remainder of his career. There was even a meme going around after that infamous incident of the comedy TV show happened. Harvey is a family man and a good father to his children. Currently, one of his daughters is dating actor Michael B. Jordan. Although this daughter of his had some quite controversies and a long dating list in the past, Harvey never seemed to stop stepping in and protecting his daughter’s name when it comes to nasty gossip. We are pretty sure that whatever is going on between their family, is in between them since there is nothing that Harvey can’t fix. If not, he can always hire a lawyer to protect his family. Not so many months ago, Harvey doubted that he’d get replaced by Kelly Clarkson with another show besides his own. Whatever happens, there is no sign that this funny man is going for retirement anytime soon. He’s even got his own channel for people to go to when they just want to laugh.

Sissy Spacek

She is the best and the original Carrie, without a doubt. Spacek was made famous because of the iconic horror film, but she’s also had a couple of notable projects down the line. She had a motherly role in Blast From The Past where she played a patient wife and a loving, funny mother to Brendan Fraser’s character. In real life, the 71-year-old actress is a true loyal wife to her husband and they have been wed since 1974. She is a great mother and a giver; she has built up some charity works to do while she is approaching her golden years. She’s not retiring from acting just yet, but even if she were to do so, she has done enough contributions to the movie industry to be called an icon, especially with her undying role. This is probably why more journalists and directors agree that it is about time to rediscover her genius and bring her back into the spotlight. We can’t wait for what’s next in store for this talented actress!

Tim Allen

One of the funniest guys in the world, not just on-screen, but even his colleagues and family members say so. Tim Allen is one talented and famous actor throughout his years in Hollywood. He has done amazing and unforgettable movies, and while we might wonder what he is up to now, one thing is for sure –he just prefers to keep his life lowkey and away from the public eye, but he has no intention of signing off from the entertainment world just yet. There might have been some backlash regarding his acting career and casting, but a few months ago, Allen made sure that he is doing just well. He even wants people to know that he is alive! All credits to Allen for saying it out loud rather than reading about the story of his own passing, since that usually happens in Hollywood. There is no doubt that he is the best Santa Claus to grace our screens. Our fingers are crossed for Allen to find happiness in whatever it is that he decides to do next.

Tom Selleck

Tom Selleck is better known for his roles as Police Commissioner Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods and Thomas Magnum on Magnum P.I. Both of those mentioned roles led to his success behind the cameras. His role on Magnum P.I. won him a People’s Choice Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award. In addition, he was part of the main cast of the classic television series Friends where he played Dr. Richard Burke, the lover of Monica Geller. For that role, he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor In a Comedy Series back in 2000. Another role he took up during the peak of his career was Jesse Stone in the eponymous television movies. Currently, he is set to reprise his role on season 11 of Blue Bloods which is proof that he has no plans of retiring from acting. We still hope he has good investments set up to secure his retirement.

Tommy Lee Jones

Tommy Lee Jones rose to prominence when he became part of Steven Seagal’s 1992 movie Under Siege, where he played the villainous William Strannix. In the following year, his performance as Samuel Gerard in The Fugitive won him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, making him an even bigger factor than before. On Batman Forever, he played Batman’s enemy Harvey Kent/Two-Face. Two years later, his reputation became widespread around the world when he played his iconic role of Agent K in the Men in Black franchise. Let us give credit to this man for striving hard on his quest to attain stardom, which he finally achieved via his iconic roles mentioned. In 2020, his recent appearances were on both The Comeback Trail and Wander and certainly, it is a sign that he is not ready to retire yet. Hopefully, we see him reprising the role of Agent K if there is a future MIB movie being developed.

Gladys Knight

Before being known to many for her solo career, she founded a musical group along with her siblings Bubba and Brenda Knight called Gladys Knight & The Pips. They were known for their Motown hit Everybody Needs Love and its reputation was later surpassed by Marvin Gaye’s rendition of the song. Her group was featured on Kenny Rogers’ single called Share Your Love With Me. After years of success, the band later broke up and it was a new beginning for her since she opted to focus on her solo career from then onward. She joined Elton John, Dionne Warwick, and Stevie Wonder on the song That’s What Friends Are For, which was made for the benefit of amFAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research (formerly American Foundation for AIDS Research at the time the song became popular). She had a farewell tour in the UK, which started back in 2009 but don’t take the word “ farewell “ seriously, because she still performed from 2015 to 2019 and even had a guest appearance on The Masked Singer. In other words, she is far from retiring, but of course, she must prioritize her insurance to make her future or even her health secured. However, with her total net worth of $28 million, money isn’t a problem at all.

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis is known to many people as the most influential pianist of all time. He showed his musical talent at the age of 9 years old when he played his aunt’s piano, not knowing that skill would bring him success in the future. He derived his style of playing piano from African American musicians and used his talent at school events. He also performed at a newly opened car dealership in his hometown, marking the famed pianist’s first performance. Lewis made his first recorded music under the Sun Records label, starting with his rendition of Crazy Arms, which was originally performed by Ray Price, and produced other singles including Breathless, Great Balls of Fire, and High School Confidential. He didn’t stop there and made a cover of Ray Charles’ What I’d Say and released more hits during the late ‘60s and early ‘70s such as Would You Take Another Chance on Me, To Make Love Sweeter on You, Me and Bobby McGee, Another Place, Another Time and There Must Be More to Love Than This. Credits to his decision to shift to country music in the late 60s. Last February 2020, he was reportedly making his new album despite his health condition.

Ali MacGraw

MacGraw kick-started her career with appearances on television commercials. She became famous with the film Goodbye, Colombus in 1969 and received a Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer. Her popularity grew to an international scale with her film Love Story that was released a year after her first breakthrough film. For her performance in Love Story, MacGraw won a Golden Globe and earned an Academy Award nomination. In 1972, she was partnered with Bullitt and Le Mans actor Steve McQueen on The Getaway. Aside from gaining accolades from her performance on films, she was named as one of the Sexiest 25 Women in Film Ever by GQ Magazine and was recognized as 50 Most Beautiful People In The World by People Magazine back in 1991, credits to the natural beauty she possesses. Last December 2020, she and costar Ryan O’ Neal reminisced about their time filming Love Story, which had celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Kathleen Turner

She is known for her unique voice and for her appearances in films such as Romancing the Stone, The Man With Two Brains, Body Heat, and Baby Geniuses. On television, she was known to appear on Friends as Chandler Bing’s drag queen dad. In the early 90s, she suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and turned down role offerings on both The Bridges of Madison County and Ghost but appeared on several films like The Virgin Suicides, A Simple Wish, House Of Cards, and The Real Blonde and made her voice acting debut as Stacy Lovell on The Simpsons. Fortunately, she recovered from it and later raised awareness of that disease. Aside from providing a voice role on The Simpsons, she also notably played her voice role as Jessica Rabbit on 3 Roger Rabbit short films and a Roger Rabbit film. She has no plans on retiring from her passion as she was featured as a guest star on the TV show Mom and in an episode of Summer Camp Island called “Molar Moles”. She must reserve her investment money for her future and for her health and her total net worth of $20 million can sustain it.

Tippi Hedren

Veteran actress and fashion model Tippi Hedren was one of the beauties who was discovered by the late Alfred Hitchcock in the early 60s. At the time, she had modeled for a television commercial while the renowned director was watching TV. He offered her leading roles on both Marnie and The Birds. Hedren has said that Marnie was one of her favorite films while working with Hitchcock. After parting ways with Alfred Hitchcock, she appeared opposite Marlon Brando in A Countess from Hong Kong, which was also Charlie Chaplin’s last directed film. She appeared once on the revamped version of Alfred Hitchcock Presents on an episode called “Man From The South”, playing the role of a waitress. She was also known as the former mother-in-law of actor Antonio Banderas via her daughter Melanie Griffith. Her most recent film appearance was back in 2017 with the film The Ghost and the Whale. She surely made sums of investment money from her salaries as an actress.

Mel Brooks

Born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn, New York, he made his debut as a writer on Your Show of Shows and is joined by other writers such as Neil Simon, Carl Reiner, and Danny Simon. He also created a comedy sketch with Carl Reiner called 2000 Year Old Man and created the comedy show called Get Smart with Buck Henry. The show ran for five years from 1965 to 1970. Brooks also directed movies such as Silent Movie, Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men In Tights, High Anxiety, and History Of The World, Part 1. For the works he created during his prime, he was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and other accolades, most notably receiving AFI Life Achievement Award in 2013. He is one of the few personalities who has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony (EGOT) Award. He has a son named Max Brooks, the man behind the novel World War Z. With that awesome novel to Max’s name, his father’s investment money for his education when he was still studying was worth it.

Kim Novak

Kim Novak became widely known for her role as both Madeleine Ester and Judy Barton on Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and prominently became the leading woman of actors like Kirk Douglas and Frank Sinatra on Strangers When We Meet and Pal Joey. Her other film appearances include Picnic, Phffft, The Eddy Duchin Story, and more. In 1966, she became a semi-retired actress, citing the harsh realities of being subjected to criticisms, and focused more on her love of art and that passion still ignites in her veins. Until now, it is evidently her true passion; on her website, you can see all of her artworks via its gallery. She may be retired permanently, but she isn’t retired from making paintings which are certainly considered as her alternative to her career as a celebrity so let us give her credit for having a solid plan B.

Barbara Eden

Eden became widely known as Jeannie on the television sitcom I Dream of Jeannie and the show ran for 5 years, starting from 1965 and ending in 1970. She got her first acting appearance with an uncredited role on Back on Eternity and later appeared on prestigious shows such as Gunsmoke and Route 66. The actress had her own eponymous show, but unfortunately, it wasn’t aired on television. On the other hand, she had 4 recorded singles as a singer; one of her notable songs was Mr. Harper which was included on the movie soundtrack of her movie Harper Valley PTA. Throughout the years, she still appeared in various movies and television shows. Her notable recent appearance was on the episode called “Sitcom Spirits” which is one of the episodes of season 13 of Long Island Medium. The veteran actress is still alive and well, but we do not know if she’ll do another film or television appearance but regardless, she surely has insurance to protect her own future.

Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart is familiar to the eyes of Big Bang Theory fans as Arthur Jeffries, or Professor Proton as they call him. This veteran comedian is known for his signature dry humor on his comedy shows and for his monologues which will make you laugh all the time. One of his monologues, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, earned a Grammy Award for Best Album of the Year in 1961 after the comedy album was released the previous year. He even had his own eponymous variety show but it did not last long, but let us put that aside because it received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Program Achievement in the Field of Humor. It also won a Peabody Award. The show he had in 1972 shares the same title as his short-lived show, but it is different as it became a situational comedy show instead, where he played a psychologist named Dr. Robert Harley. Newhart has a total net worth of $65 million, surely enough to avoid personal loans in the future, and yet the actor still has no plans to retire.

Eva Marie Saint

Eva Marie Saint is considered one of the oldest living awardees of Academy Awards, replacing Olivia De Havilland, who kicked the bucket last July 2020, and one of the last living celebrities of Hollywood’s golden age. Credits to her longevity; from the looks of things, she is still a strong woman and according to her, she gets smarter while living longer. Regarding her career, she made her television debut with Campus Hoopla as the commercial spokeswoman, which was then followed by Bonnie Maid’s Versa-Tile Varieties. She made her debut on the silver screen with the film On the Waterfront alongside Marlon Brando. Two years later, she played Dunreath Henry on That Certain Feeling and was included on Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest in 1959. Her iconic role in modern times was playing Martha Kent in Superman Returns, where she was reunited with Marlon Brando via CGI technology. She doesn’t only act, because she also had a voice acting role on The Legend of Korra as Katara.

Jackie Mason

Everyone remembers Jackie Mason as a comedian who often uses innuendos and wordplay as part of his jokes in his stand-up performances. He often appeared as a guest on The Ed Sullivan Show, where he once got under fire for reportedly doing an unwanted gesture to Sullivan. On the other hand, he received a Tony Award for his performance in The World According To Me while Jackie Mason on Broadway won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing In A Variety Or Music Program. Mason was listed 63rd on Comedy Central’s 100 Greatest Stand-up Comedians of all time. For those achievements, we give huge credit to his sense of humor and talent, which makes fans happy and amazed. Like his jokes, he is alive and well and we hope to see more of him and hear his new jokes in the future.

Maggie Smith

For Harry Potter fans, they would easily know who Maggie Smith is; she played Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter films, starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone until Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows Part 2. Besides that role, she also took up her role as Agatha Docherty on the 2010 film Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. She also had voice acting roles as Lady Blueberry on Gnomeo & Juliet and Sherlock Gnomes. We give credit to her past performances for attaining both Damehood and the Companion of Honour, as well as garnering notable awards such as 5 BAFTA Awards, 3 Golden Globe Awards, 4 Emmys, 5 Screen Actors Guild Awards, and 2 Outer Critics’ Circle Award. The renowned Harry Potter actress isn’t done with her passion yet, because she is set to appear in the upcoming films A German Life and The Miracle Club.

His other notable voice acting roles include J. Jonah Jameson on the animated version of Spider-Man, Jabba the Hutt on the radio drama version of Star Wars, Scalawag on Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night, and Jacob Marley on A Christmas Carol. As an actor, he is known for his roles as Bart Jason on John Wayne’s El Dorado and as Santa Claus in the films Olive, The Other Reindeer, and Elf. The Up voice actor is already 91 years old and it still doesn’t matter simply because he isn’t ready to retire from the profession he loves as he is set to reprise his voice role as Carl Fredricksen on Dug Days, a spinoff of Up. At his age, he is surely putting his hard-earned money amassed from films and voice acting towards his insurance.

Ann-Margret

Swedish-American singer, dancer, and actress Ann-Margaret Olsson rose to prominence for her roles in various films, including The Cincinnati Kid, Viva Las Vegas, Bye Bye Birdie, Grumpy Old Men, Grumpier Old Men, and Going in Style. She is the recipient of numerous accolades such as two Grammy Awards, six Emmy Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, five Golden Awards, and two nominations for Academy Awards.

Julie Andrews

English dancer, author, singer, and actress Dame Julie Andrews DBE is now 85 years old. She was a child actress and singer who appeared in the West End back in 1948 and made her debut on Broadway in the 1954 musical The Boy Friend. She rose to a degree of prominence after her roles in the Broadway musicals My Fair Lady (1965), where she played Eliza Doolittle, and in the 1960 production of Camelot, where she played Queen Guinevere. Andrews was eventually billed “Britain’s youngest prima donna.”

Even at her advanced age, she still hasn’t stopped doing what she loves most. This only proves that nothing can ever stop your passion, right? In December 2020, she was the voice of the narrator Lady Whistledown in Bridgerton, a period drama series on Netflix. She even declined a cameo appearance to avoid stealing the limelight on Emily Blunt in Mary Poppins Returns.

Angela Lansbury

A career spanning almost eight decades, Dame Angela Brigid Lansbury’s work has garnered her much attention internationally. She is coined as one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema and the earliest surviving Academy Award nominee. To escape the Blitz during the early ‘40s, she made investments and tested her luck in the United States, where she studied acting in New York City. After signing to MGM, she obtained her first film roles in the 1994 Gaslight and 1945 The Picture of Dorian Gray, the latter earning her a Golden Globe Award and two Oscar nominations.

At age 95, it seems that she isn’t in the limelight that much compared to her prime years in the industry. In October 2020, Variety magazine considered her career to “defy all logic.” Her last known appearance on Broadway was on November 18, 2019, where she portrayed Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest.

Christopher Plummer

Plummer never got a college degree, which is something that he has regretted all his life, but we all know how that turned out for him, right? He has a total net worth of $20 million, even with the fortune he has now, at age 91 years old, we think it’s probably too late.

Sidney Poitier

Bahamian-American actor, ambassador, and film director Sidney Poitier won the Academy Award for Best Actor back in 1964. He was the first Afro-Bahamian and first black male actor to win the award and is given credit as the earliest surviving and oldest living Best Actor Academy Award winner. He served as the Bahamian Ambassador to Japan for ten years from 1997 to 2007. He earned his debut role in Broadway in an all-black production of Lysistrata in 1946 and eventually moved to films four years later.

Poitier, at the age of 93 years old, has a total net worth of $25 million and was an honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen back in 1974. He truly has made an impact in Hollywood and was indeed the man to break the color barrier in an era of white men.

Chubby Checker

American dancer and rock ‘n roll singer Ernest Evans, or professionally known as Chubby Checker, is well known for popularizing several dance styles, including the twist dance style, with his 1960 hit version of Hank Ballard and The Midnighters’ R&B hit The Twist. Checker’s version of the song, which is to his credit, is incomparably a bigger hit that reached the #1 spot in both September 1960 and January 1962. The song was at the top of Billboard’s list of most famous singles to have appeared in the Hot 100 since its debut in 1958, which was something that it maintained from September 2008 to August 2013.

Even in his 70s, Checker still has the passion in him. He even joined forces with Hard Rock Rocksino and Howard Perl Entertainment in 2015 to produce “Rock and Roll to The Rescue,” which is a show launched to adopt rescue animals in need and to raise funds.

Burt Bacharach

At 88 years old, Bachrach arranged and composed his first original score in 16 years for the 2016 film A Boy Called Po. Even now, in his 90s, Bacharach has collaborated with multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Daniel Tashian in July 2020 on his first new material after 15 years, the EP “Blue Umbrella.” He still hasn’t run out of gas, even at his age.

She is one of the few actors who received the Triple Crown of Acting in the United States. She is also the recipient of several accolades, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie, a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play, and an Academy Award for Best Actress for her in The Queen as Queen Elizabeth II.

Throughout Tyson’s career, she has received numerous accolades, including four Black Reel Awards, a Tony Award, a Peabody Award, three Primetime Emmy Awards, one Screen Actors Guild, and an honorary Academy Award.

Since the show’s inception in 2014, Tyson played Ophelia Harkness’s role in ABC’s legal drama How to Get Away With Murder. She was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series several times. In 2020, Tyson was in the famous 2020 American thriller Netflix movie, A Fall From Grace, and in the TV series Cherish the Day as Miss Luma Lee Langston. Cicely may be keeping a lower profile these days, but her legacy and influence in the industry still linger until today.

Harrison Ford

American environmental activist, pilot, and actor Harrison Ford have a total of $5.1 billion for his films’ total box office grosses, which makes him the fourth highest-grossing domestic box office star in history. Ford has a total net worth of $300 million, and we are pretty sure he has made numerous investments to make sure that he still has a source of income even after he retires from the Hollywood industry.

In recent years, Ford has reprised Han Solo’s role in the Star Wars sequel Star Wars: The Force Awakens back in 2015. Even though his character perished in The Force Awakens, showrunners later revealed that he would return in Episode VIII of the franchise that there might be a slight chance that he could still return since anything is possible in space. Ford’s character, Han Solo, eventually had an appearance in the 2019 Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker as a vision.

Jane Fonda

American environmentalist, former fashion model, and actress Jane Seymour Fonda have received numerous accolades throughout her career, including the Honorary Golden Lion, the AFI Life Achievement Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, seven Golden Globe Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and two Academy Awards. There’s no doubt that the 83-year-old artist has a very successful career throughout her years in the Hollywood industry.

Fonda also has made some real estate investments in previous years, and her most recent purchase was the Mediterranean-style townhouse in SoCal for $5.45 million. Her day is composed of just going to the gym and working out for an hour. When she comes back, she participates in Zoom meetings, writes articles for various magazines, or even writes up a blog. In 2019, Fonda got inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, and in 2020, she was on the BBC’s 100 Women.
