He is still quite active and doesn’t have a retirement plan, as of now. We hope Mel has chalked up a substantial insurance plan to help him in his retirement days.
Jacqueline White — 1922
Jacqueline Jane White is a popular actress from the 1940s and 50s. She holds the record for working with both MGM and RKO. Though Jacqueline had a short-lived career, she did leave quite an impact on her talent. As a student of UCLA, her performance in a play caught the attention of many, and the rest is something everyone knows.
Jacqueline always had in her what it takes to be a huge movie star. She mesmerized all with her craft and ravishing looks in The Narrow Margin and several other films, as well. With a family of five children and her grandchildren, Jacqueline is leading a peaceful in her retirement home. She is currently 97 years old and continues to look healthy and strong. We are sure that the secret to her aging gracefully is in a healthy diet and great lifestyle choices. We hope she continues to focus on her well-being and reach the 100-year-mark in her life.
Dean Stockwell – 1936
Robert Dean Stockwell needs no introduction as an actor. He has been entertaining his fans for over seven decades now, since his debut as a child artist. The star who enthralled us with films such as Gentleman’s Agreement, The Green Years, Air Force One, and The Player is Dean Stockwell. He had the privilege of sharing screen space with legends like Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, and Gene Kelly. Apart from being a successful actor, Dean is an expert golfer and an artist, too.
He announced his retirement in 2015 and has stopped being active in the entertainment space since then. We are sure his massive net worth from an immensely long and successful career helps him have a happy retirement. He is currently 84 years old and lives happily in Taos. We are sure that, his life in his retirement home is one of peace and tranquillity.
Jerry Lee Lewis – 1935
Jerry Lee Lewis, most popular as "The Killer", is a musician, singer, and a pianist who is among one of the most well-accomplished musicians of rock and roll. He has churned out superhits like "Breathless", "Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’On", "High School Confidential", and "Great Balls Of Fire". However, he married his own cousin, who was ten years younger than him. This created a huge uproar and a lot of controversies, and consequently greatly affected his fame in the industry.
He came back with Live At The Star Club, Hamburg, an album that reinstated him in the musical circuit. He also ventured in country music with "Another Place Another Time", and later on, with "There Must Be More To Love Than This" and "To Make Love Sweeter For You". At 82, Jerry is still performing at various concerts and refuse to think of a retirement plan. A life full of music with no worries of a reverse mortgage or bankruptcy — Jerry must certainly enjoy his life!
Clint Eastwood – 1930
Clinton Eastwood Jr. is a man of many skills. The actor, producer, director, and composer has been a part of the entertainment industry since 1954. He is in his 90s now and continues to stay active. Talk about age being just a number! Clint Eastwood is someone who needs no introduction — Million Dollar Baby, Man With No Name, Any Which Way You Can, and Dirty Harry are some of his best movies. Eastwood’s USP was his dialogue delivery with a cigar hanging between his lips.
Pretty soon, he came up with his own style and was well-known as a masculine icon. He fell in and out of quite a few relationships, and his marriages culminated in divorce. In stark contrast to many celebrities in Hollywood, Clint kept drug rehabs miles away from him. He is a livewire and is quite inclined to portray a drug smuggler of 90 years in his upcoming project. No surgery or retirement in sight, he is having a whale of a time.
Jackie Mason – 1931
Jackie Mason the popular standup comedian needs no introduction. He has been serving laughs to his audience since the 1950s. Comedy is a serious business, and this man continues to take it seriously even in his 90s. No wonder that he found a mention in Comedy Central's 100 greatest stand-up comedians of the all-time list!
Popular actor and comedian Jackie Mason is popular for Jackie Mason On Broadway and The World According To Me, and as a voice-over artist for Hyman Krustofski in The Simpsons. His comic timing and amusing one-liners have enthralled fans for a long period of time. He now lives comfortably in his Central Park South home along with his spouse Jyll Rosenfeld. At the age of 92, Jackie is pretty active and is not too inclined toward retirement planning. We wish Mason all the best for the rest of his life and raise a toast for his good health.
Shirley MacLaine – 1934
Shirley MacLaine is a popular actor, dancer, singer, activist, and author who has been entertaining her fans since 1953. The Academy Award-winning actress has appeared in numerous yesteryear Hollywood classics. She is popular for her films such as Some Came Running and The Apartment, and earned an Oscar for Terms Of Endearment.
Her acting prowess has garnered worldwide acclamation. She has appropriately derived her name from the legendary Shirley Temple and is Warren Beatty’s sister. She tied the knot once but sadly filed for a divorce in 1982. Shirley MacLaine currently lives in her ranch home in Santa Fe, which looks breathtakingly beautiful. However, it comes as no surprise as she has had a six-decade-long career in the entertainment world and has a net worth of $50 million. At 86, she looks gorgeous. But how? Is it a nutritious diet or is it an anti-aging lotion that's doing the magic? We are curious to know!
Ed Asner – 1929
Eddie Asner is a man of many skills. He is a popular actor and voice artist who has been entertaining his fans for several decades now. Since his debut in 1957, he has been a household name. Aside from being an actor, Ed Asner is also a famous activist. Ed has the privilege of being the former president of the Screen Actors Guild. His portrayal as Lou Grant in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and at a later period, Lou Grant, received acclamation worldwide.
He also starred in the beloved Christmas film, Elf, and portrayed Santa Claus. Ed was an integral part of the animation Up which resulted in an Oscar win. In spite of a failure in his second marriage, he is a man with an invincible spirit. At 88, Ed is pretty active and perhaps will never come up with a retirement plan. Be in good health, Ed!
Warren Beatty – 1937
Henry Warren Beatty the popular actor and filmmaker need no introduction. He has had a successful career spanning over six decades and continues to entertain his fans. Warren Beatty is a well-acclaimed filmmaker and actor and has earned Oscar nominations for his exploits as a director, actor, writer, and producer.
He laid his hands on the Academy Award twice for Reds and Heaven Can Wait. His other successful movies include Shampoo, Dick Tracy, and Bonnie and Clyde. It will be over a good two decades before Warren steps into one of her retirement homes. Age is just a number for him. With fitness galore, we guess what could be his anti-aging technique? And at 83, Warren Beatty is one man who is determined to prove this to be true. He enjoys a life of comfort with his wife and actress Annette Bening with his $70 million net worth. We hope the two continue to make many more memories together in their years ahead!
Sophia Loren – 1934
The ravishing Sophia Loren initiated her acting career when she was only 15 years old. Her portrayals in Two Women, Sunflower, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, and Marriage Italian Style caught the attention of all and sundry.
She earned numerous awards that include an Oscar and a Grammy for her excellent musical abilities. She possesses a bank balance of $75 million, and that implies her life after retirement will be as smooth as expected. Even at 83, she is a diva. We sense some high-end anti-aging treatments doing the trick.
Kim Novak -1933
Kim Novak is all of 85 and still going strong. Aside from being an actress, she is a famous visual artist at present. She has starred in movies such as The Man With The Golden Arm, Vertigo, and Pal Joey. Kim decided to go for retirement in the early half of the 90s but appeared in quite a few films after 1996.
In 2014, the paparazzi suspected that Novak had gone under the knife, and apparently, her looks are a result of cosmetic surgery. This piece of news still remains unconfirmed, and the truth is not something we know yet! Nevertheless, we are just glad to see Novak in good health, and while she has stopped pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. We're just glad to see that she is happy as a visual artist.
John Astin – 1930
John Astin's acting career kick-started when he portrayed Gomez Addams in The Addams Family, a popular television series. His prominent works also consist of Lampoon’s European Vacation and West Side Story.
After deciding on a retirement from a remarkable career, John teaches acting and directing at the John Hopkins University. He is indeed a livewire at this age and is not willing to live a life at retirement homes. That’s inspirational indeed. He tied the knot thrice after going through a divorce twice and has five sons.
Janis Paige – 1922
Janis Paige initiated her career as a singer. At a tender age, she was well on her path to stardom when she started singing at the Hollywood Canteen where she was first noticed. Janis went on to attain stardom with films like Two Gals and A Guy and Romance On the High Seas. She also appeared in numerous Broadway musicals such as The Pajama Game.
Afterward, she made a comeback to Hollywood and churned out blockbusters viz. Bachelors In Paradise, The Caretakers, and Silk Stockings. Janis appeared in It's Always Jan, a television series. After a divorce from her first marriage, she got hitched to Arthur Stander. But this marriage followed the same fate as her first one. In the early stages of the 2000s, Janis lost her voice but recuperated after a long treatment — she must have undergone a surgery we guess. We wish you the pink of health, Janis!
Bob Barker - 1923
Bob Barker is best known for his time as a host in several game shows on TV. He will go down in history for hosting The Price Is Right for 35 years. He has also hosted various beauty pageants and had his own show on TV, The Bob Barker Show.
Bob had also played host for the show, Truth Or Consequences. Having a career spanning over five decades is highly commendable. Though he is yet to retire, we hope, at 94, he has a solid retirement plan.
BARBARA EDEN – 1931
The adorable Jeannie from I Dream Of Jeannie, Barbara Eden is 86, and aging most gracefully. It was her mother who inspired her to sing from a young age. Later, she went on to become Miss San Franciso, and after which she did a number of movies in Hollywood. But it was her stint on television that helped her reach the height of her career.
She will be remembered for I Dream Of Jeannie and Bewitched for years to come. Her memoir, Jeannie Out Of The Bottle, became a New York Times bestseller and the royalties from the book must have contributed to her pension plan. Though she had an emotional breakdown post her only son's death, we hope she is in better health now. As the reason for her retirement was because of her back problems.
Terry Moore - 1929
Born as Helen Luella Koford, Terry Moore grew up in a Mormon family and worked as a child actor. But she started her career as a radio artist and only later moved on to films. After appearing in several hit movies, when her career was facing a stagnancy. She moved on to television — she clearly knows what she wants from life and doesn't settle for just one thing.
Terry tried her hand at many fields and developed commendable professionalism and impressive acting skills. What's even more surprising is the fact that, at the age of 55, she appeared in a controversial men's magazine. She must have maintained her health and followed some fabulous diet to be so confident. Let's hope she is equally confident about her retirement plan as she is 91 years old now and might retire sometime soon.
Harry Belafonte – 1927
Harry Belafonte is a man of many talents. The Jamaican-American singer is also an actor, songwriter, and activist. He went on to be dubbed as "King of Calypso" for popularising Trinidadian Caribbean musical globally in the 1950s. The beautiful voice of Harry Belafonte will always be remembered by his fans. Songs like "Banana Boat Song"or "Jamaican Farewell" had captured the hearts of millions across the globe.
His acting career was not too bad as well. He had made enough money so that he would never have to worry about any reverse mortgage or bank loans. He is a cancer survivor now who had undergone surgery, too. Thankfully, his health is in better condition. Harry is probably enjoying his days in leisure. He is now 93 years old and continues to have the charming smile that he did in his younger days.
Jane Fonda – 1937
Jane Fonda will be famous forever for her outspokenness. Though she had an amazing career in movies and ended up acting in films like Walk On The Wild Side, Klute, Coming Home, and many more, she took a break from it after 15 long years. However, she is now back in the business. We hope she never goes into a retirement home again.
She also came up with exercise videos which must have added extra bucks to her already impressive bank account. Today, she is a humanitarian doing tons of charity work and famous for her political activities and views on women's issues. She had breast cancer and had surgery, too. Surely, she had hefty health insurance to cover it all!
Dick Van Dyke –1925
Having initially founded success through his radio and Broadway careers, Dick Van Dyke went on to be an iconic figure in Hollywood, shelling out jaw-dropping performances in his acting career in movies such as Night At The Museum, Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
With a bank balance of $30 million, we guess his life is devoid of any worries. At 92, the thoughts of retirement haven’t yet crossed his mind. Van Dyke has pulled himself through an accident and a few health hiccups. But thankfully, he has recuperated and doing well now.
Brigitte Bardot - 1934
French actress Brigitte Bardot won the world with her breathtaking beauty and exquisite acting skills. Her movies And God Created Woman, Le Mepris, and Viva Maria brought several awards and accolades for the actress. This just goes to show that she is a woman of not just beauty but also immense talent.
She must have taken great care of her diet and nutrition for though she is in her nineties now. Brigitte is still a very active animal rights activist. While she seems to have fully given up on acting, she will always be famous for her contributions to the industry. This is a legacy that she can surely be proud of!
Nita Talbot – 1930
Nita Talbot started her career as a model and went on to play witty career girls in movies, but her debut was in It's A Great Feeling. After a successful career, she went on to retire in the eighties. Her career didn't end with movies though as she became a TV artist as well as a voice-over artist.
It was in 1997 when she finally said goodbye to the entertainment industry and went on to enjoy the rest of her life away from the bright lights of Hollywood. We do miss seeing her performances but we also respect her decision to retire and live life in peace.
Edna May Wonacott - 1932
For someone who was picked for a role by none other than the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, it says a lot about her and her potential. Edna May is perhaps most popular for her movie, Shadows Of A Doubt. Edna was a child actress, and she took retirement from her acting career in the 1950s. She definitely could have achieved more if she had decided to stay in Hollywood.
But sometimes, Hollywood stars prefer to live the life of an ordinary person away from the prying, scrutinizing eyes of Hollywood. She married young and last we hear, she is living happily with her family. Her mother lived for 102 years. And if she has inherited those genes, she can easily surpass her mom with a good diet and fitness routine.
William Smith - 1933
We saw William Smith in Any Which Way You Can, Conan - The Barbarian, Red Dawn, and many more movies. However, Smith was not a stranger to the inner workings and secrets of Hollywood life. He was a child actor and had been part of several big-budget movies.
And over the years, he managed to hone his acting skills and made a name for himself. It seems he is planning to retire now as his last movie was back in 2014. Hopefully, his health is in good condition, and he has good insurance to cover up for all his medical expenses that might occur during old age.
Robert Blake - 1933
Robert Blake had a checkered life story. He got initiated into the industry as a child artist and went on to have the longest career anyone could ever have in the history of Hollywood. You might remember him from his roles in Baretta and In Cold Blood. Despite his success in the limelight, his personal life suffered many tribulations.
He was accused of killing his wife but was later acquitted. We can't imagine how much stress he had to face and what that must have done to his health and fitness. But now in his eighties, Robert Blake seems to have fully retired from the world of Hollywood and is satisfied with the peace that this decision has brought him.
Eva Marie Saint – 1924
Eva Marie Saint is an Academy Award winner who laid her hands on an Oscar for her portrayals in North By Northwest and On The Waterfront. She also starred in other successful flicks such as The Russians Are Coming and A Hatful Of Rain. After going on a break for approximately a decade, Eva made a comeback and starred in I Dreamed Of Africa and Nothing In Common.
At the age of 93, she is grace personified, and we are super intrigued to know the secret. Anti-aging potion or a nutritious diet? Having made several appearances on television in 2014 for the very last time, Eva is now leading a peaceful life in retirement. We do miss seeing her in action in front of the camera. But we have many of her works to rewatch and adore, and for that, we are thankful.
Sandra Day O'Connor - 1930
Born in 1930, Sandra Day O' Connor went on to become the first woman to serve at the Supreme Court Of America. She held the post of Associate Justice from 1981 to 2006. She was one gutsy woman whose fearlessness stemmed from having a tough childhood.
Connor hunted from the age of nine and grew up in a ranch without running water or electricity. These conditions made her into a tough woman while growing up, and being part of the Supreme Court of America was just right for her. After her retirement, she has moved back to Arizona. She must be entitled to a good amount of pension!
Maria Cooper Janis - 1937
The daughter of actor Gary Cooper Maria Cooper Janis is 80 now. She followed in his father's footsteps and went on to become an actress as well as a producer. Maria is very popular for Sleepy Hollow High, The Jack Benny Program, and several others. She comes from a long line of actors and actresses, so it was small wonder that she would become one someday.
Her father must have given her enough tips in her kitty on how to be the best actress she can possibly be. We hope, with a great pension plan, a light workout routine and a diet chart fit for her age, she must be doing great in her retirement home.
Cheryl Crane - 1943
Daughter of Lara Turner, Cheryl Crane came into the spotlight at the age of 15 but it took a backseat when she accidentally killed her mother's boyfriend, Johnny Stompanato. Later, she went scot-free as no charges were brought against her, and the incident was considered as a justifiable homicide. Her life became tough, post that incident. She used to run away from school until her mother was given back her custody.
Crane later came out with the truth in her autobiography where she claimed that her mother's boyfriends often abused her physically and took advantage of her. Aside from that, she has admitted that she is gay and came out to her mother long ago. After a successful career in real estate, she went on to retire and live a happy life with her longtime partner. She probably doesn't need a pension because she must be getting a huge amount of royalties from the books she has written.
Geraldine Chaplin -1944
Despite having a great career in her own right, Geraldine Chaplin is still most famous for being Charlie Chaplin's fourth child. The similarities in their features are undeniable. Geraldine started her career with dancing and modeling but soon moved on to acting. Her significant movies are Dr. Zhivago, Nashville, and Welcome To L.A. to her credit.
Besides that, she has also acted in films made in French, Spanish movies as well. At 73, she has not aged well, unfortunately. Her skin looks terribly wrinkled. But she seems to have done well otherwise. She has homes in Miami, Madrid, and Switzerland. After her retirement, she divides her time between these places. She must be having a big pension to maintain all her real estate properties.
Maria Riva - 1924
Daughter of popular Hollywood actress Marlene Dietrich, Maria Riva is not just an actress but a film historian and activist, too. She started acting when she was still a child. Much later, she had a very successful career in CBS teleplays.
She also wrote her mother's memoir, In Her Own Hand, which came out in 1992. Obviously, it was a bestseller, and we are sure the money she got from it went partially to her retirement planning. With that, along with her inheritance, she would never even have to think of a reverse mortgage.
Christina Crawford - 1939
Joan Crawford's adopted daughter, Christina Crawford, is an accomplished writer. Ironically, the book that made her famous, Mommy Dearest, is the real-life account of how she was abused by Joan. In fact, Joan's alcoholism affected all five of her adopted children. She had a great track record when it came to education. Aside from acting, she had a corporate job as well.
She never did need her mother's money, and Joan actually disinherited her from her will. But we are sure she did well by herself. Despite surviving a stroke, she continued to run a bed and breakfast. Says a lot about the health of a nonagenarian like her!
Joanne Woodward - 1930
Joanne Woodward was a beauty queen when she was younger. Her acting skills were unquestionable as well. Overall, she was able to garner a lot of attention with her spectacular performances, not to mention, her gorgeous looks.
She is a popular humanitarian who had set up a charitable camp for children suffering from cancer. Her husband, Paul Newman, helped her in it. When most actresses are busy planning their pension or building a retirement home, Joanne is busy with charity works! Quite a woman!
Claire Bloom - 1931
With an acting career that spanned over six decades, Claire Bloom is popular for acting in over sixty movies. But before films, she was a stage actress at the age of 16. Her talent was spotted by none other than the legendary Charlie Chaplin.
What followed has become history. Because of her stellar career, we hope she has been able to amass a huge amount of wealth. And that makes us wonder what kind of insurance premiums would she be paying.
Leslie Caron - 1931
Leslie Caron had a long career which started in 1951 and lasted until 2003. Before that, she was in ballet. Her most popular movies were musicals like An American In Paris and Daddy Long Legs.
She had acted in a 2016 TV show, so we are guessing her health is perfect even until now. Good insurance is all she needs along with a hefty pension to stay tension-free in her retirement life.
Tab Hunter - 1931
Tab Hunter got his big break when he starred in the war movie, Battle Cry. But even before that, he was doing quite good for himself. Incidentally, he had lied in order to join the coastguard but was caught. After his release, he decided to try his hand at acting.
Aside from that, he is also an amazing singer, and his single, "Young Love" got rave reviews apart from being featured in the Billboard Top 100 chart. Clearly, he had a great career and surely owns a fat bank account which will take care of his retirement plan and will ensure he never has to go through a reverse mortgage.
Angie Dickinson - 1931
Angie started her career in television, as many of her peers did, but she decided to also try her hand in movies. Banking on her charming good looks and natural talent, Angie Dickinson found success and fame in the film industry. Police Woman, Big Bad Mamma, Dressed To Kill — she sparkled in all of these.
As expected, critics showered her with praises and awards, cementing her position as a great actress. She has been doing spectacular health-wise so far. Certainly, she still has a lot left in her to achieve bigger things with the time she has left in this world.
Shirley Jones - 1934
It is a wonder how Shirley Jones managed two careers simultaneously and ended up being hugely successful in both! An actress and a singer, Shirley got an Oscar for Elmer Gantry . Later, half of her career was spent doing concerts and going on tours.
She was recently seen in General Hospital.That makes us wonder what kind of fad diet she must be following which seems to give her so much energy! Let's hope she has good insurance in case something happens, though chances are rare.
Margia Dean - 1922
Margia stepped into tinsel town as a child actress. And while many other peers succumbed to the pressure that fame brings, Margia managed to keep her head on her shoulders and was quite professional growing up. Naturally, she was a beauty, an asset that helped her win a beauty pageant.
Despite early fame, she failed to get meaty roles and ended up doing several B-movies. Finally, she took retirement from films and went on to lead her own life, and she did quite well for herself. She became the VP of a real estate firm and also tried her hand in interior decorating and designing which means her pension is supposed to be hefty. And she is not going to retire too soon!
Rosemary Harris - 1927
Remember Aunt May from the Spiderman trilogy? Well, she was portrayed by none other than Rosemary Harris! But before she even took on that role, Rosemary Harris was already a big name in the world of theater! Her impeccable acting skills ensured that she had tons of awards and accolades under her belt.
In fact, she's been nominated for the Tony award nine times already, having won the award for best actress in a play for her role in The Lion in Winter. Aside from Tony, Harris can also boast of an Emmy and a Golden Globe, and this just goes to show how talented she is as an actress! 2015 was the year when she finally disclosed that she is going to retire. We hope her retirement plans are going accordingly so far!
Joan Collins - 1933
For someone who debuted in A Doll's House at the age of nine, it says a lot about her acting skills. Dame Joan Collins has proven her brilliance in acting throughout her long career as well as her talent as a spectacular columnist. After stealing hearts in the 60s and 70s, she went on to play Alexis Colby in Dynasty, earning a Golden Globe award for it.
She recently appeared on the eight seasons of the popular anthology series American Horror Story. The cast must have been absolutely starstruck when she joined the production! At 85, she still looks stunning, and we can't help but adore her spirit. Anyway, her anti-aging methods are spot on. Any guesses on how she is managing to look so pretty even now?
Ali MacGraw - 1939
Ali MacGraw will be remembered forever for her performance in the timeless classic, Love Story. She debuted in Hollywood when she was already in her 30s which some would argue is a little too late. But Ali managed to make something of herself nevertheless. Before that, she worked as a model, as well as a fashion photographer's assistant.
Her stint in the world of movies was short, yet she left a huge impact on the industry. Her marriages ended in divorces, and she is enjoying her retirement life all by herself in a suburban area in Santa Fe in New Mexico. We hope she has good insurance that will see her through her old age.
Mitzi Gaynor - 1931
Mitzi Gaynor loved singing and dancing, and she started appearing on stage since the age of 13. At the age of only 17, Twentieth Century Fox signed a contract with her, and this jumpstarted her career to great heights. Imagine stepping into the limelight at such a young and tender age! While many would probably succumb to personal issues because of pressure, Mitzi took fame in her stride and handled herself gracefully.
A splendid career in movies was followed by an equally satisfying stint in television; in fact, she won an Emmy award in 2010. Does she ever get tired? We wonder! Now, we would love to know more about her anti-aging secret and the fabulous diet that has kept her going. Wouldn't you?
Angela Lansbury – 1925
British-American star Angela Lansbury has had a successful career over a long period of seven decades. She was bestowed with an Honorary Oscar, and rightfully so, owing to her commitment and contributions to Hollywood. She appeared in The Picture Of Dorian Gray, The Manchurian Candidate, Gaslight, Murder, The King And I, and She Wrote. Angela even voiced Mrs. Potts in Disney's Beauty And The Beast, and with that role alone, she endeared herself in our hearts forever.
She went ahead and made some investments in her own production company. Instead of slowing down as she aged, Angela remains active these days. Angela confessed that Hollywood doesn’t take aging too kindly, and this is the reason why so many stars go through cosmetic surgery which Angela has never opted for as far as we know.
Christopher Lloyd – 1938
Christopher Lloyd is an American actor, voice actor, and comedian. He originally came to public attention in Northeastern theater productions during the 1960s and 1970s earning multiple awards for his work. Throughout his career, he has been a prominent name and face in many television series but made his big-screen debut in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and The Addams Family.
However, most know and love him from his character Emmett "Doc" Brown from the Back to the Future trilogy. Lloyd is an award-winning actor, celebrating 80 years this year! But still, he somehow looks like his character in Back to the Future. He must be doing something right in terms of his health and lifestyle!
Tina Louise – 1934
Tina Louise is an American actress best known for playing the movie star, Ginger Grant, in the iconic comedy, Gilligan's Island. However, that's not all she is famously known for - in fact she has appeared in numerous films that solidified her place as one of the best actresses in the world of Hollywood. In 1958, she won a Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year in the 1958 drama film, God's Little Acre.
Her passions also lie beyond show business as she is a published author and has been able to enjoy her successes from her children's books. Considering all that she has achieved in her life, Tina Louise is one talented and gifted woman who has shown that hard work gets you far in life!
June Lockhart – 1925
June Lockhart is an American actress who peaked and reigned from the 1950s and 1960s television era. But she didn't stay in one field and diversified her experience as an actress by stepping foot in films and the theater. She is the daughter of Canadian born actor, Gene Lockhart who rose to fame through his re-appearing roles on Broadway. Ms. Lockhart however, was able to step out from her father's shadow and was cast in a variety of television shows and a Broadway plays herself, For Love or Money, in which she won a Tony.
Starring on a Broadway production and winning a much-coveted award are impressive achievements in themselves and one that June Lockhart can boast of and carry on with her for the rest of her life. However, she is most famously known for her motherly roles in both Lassie and Lost in Space. It has been a while since we last saw her on TV but her legacy lives on, and we love her for it.
Pam Grier – 1949
Pam Grier is one of the best actresses to have ever done it in the 70's era of Black films. Her often heroic characters represented many elements of a strong woman and brought a lot of people an idol to look up to. One of her most iconic roles was the fabulous and fearless Foxy Brown and Jackie Brown in the Quentin Tarantino film where she received a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
Little do most Foxy Brown fans know, however, that she was once hit with a health diagnosis of cervical cancer that almost left her world completely crushed. Doctors told her she only had 18 months to live but she beat the odds with chemotherapy and Chinese herbal treatments. We are so happy to see Pam Grier back on top of her health and looking great as ever!
Joyce Randolph – 1924
Throughout her early career, Joyce Randolph was no stranger to show business. She originally started on the stage, even landing a leading role on Broadway! Every theater actor and actress aspires to make it big on Broadway, and through hard work and passion, Joyce managed to achieve something that not everyone can experience.
After her debut on Broadway, however, was when she was spotted by agents and cast for the role of Trixie Norton in the iconic sitcom, The Honeymooners. Fame surely knew how to stick to and with Randolph as she remained a popular household name throughout the years. Today, Joyce is enjoying life in retirement, most likely reflecting on the successes of her career!
Max Baer JR. - 1937
You might remember this legend as Jethro Bodine, Jed Clampett's silly little nephew from The Beverly Hillbillies. Max Baer Jr. is actually one of the last remaining cast members of the show who is still alive! Throughout the rest of his career, Baer stayed within the film industry until the early 90s where he made a big career change and made a substantial investment in real estate.
He went onto the gambling industry and established Hillbillies-themed slot machines in numerous casinos before purchasing land to build his own hotel. It's been quite an unusual turn of events in terms of his career, but we can't complain because Max seems to be doing well for himself. We are anxiously awaiting to see what happens with his developmental plans while we re-watch his episodes of our favorite show.
Michael Nesmith - 1942
Robert Michael Nesmith is a well-known American musician, actor, producer, and songwriter. He will, however, always be remembered as an integral member of The Monkees, a popular rock band, and also for his portrayal in "The Monkees", which was a popular 1966 television series. Nesmith happens to be the executive producer of Repo Man, a 1984 cult film and also won a Grammy for Elephant Parts, a TV show.
He recently just underwent a quadruple bypass heart surgery, but his recovery went smoothly as planned and he is already back at it. At 75, he is still active and even going on tour with the remaining bandmates he has! It seems he doesn’t want to take up a retirement until the day he breathes his last breath. We are proud of you, Michael!
John Cleese - 1939
John Marwood Cleese is an Academy-Award nominated & Emmy Award-winning English comedian actor. He is most popularly known for co-finding and acting in Monty Python, the comedy troupe that no one could get enough of when it first started. It is still a timeless classic and often referenced today! He also tasted success at the popular Edinburgh Festival Fringe and also garnered heaps of praise and acclamation for being a performer and a scriptwriter for the satirical TV show, The Frost Report.
Just for fun, John Cleese has also lent his voice in the Shrek film franchise, and we love him for that. He has got hitched four times in his life but had to hire a divorce lawyer in three of them. John is famous for being the co-founder of The Secret Policeman’s Ball benefit programs to organize funds for Amnesty International. He is all of 79 now but never ceases to surprise us with his energy and knack for comedy. He surely knows how to make people laugh effortlessly!
Wallace Shawn – 1943
Wallace Shawn is the kind of actor whose cameos in films and TV series can instantly make it that much better. The Princess Bride, Dinner With Andre and Clueless are only a few of the iconic movies that Shawn has starred in. He's also lent his voice in a few animated movies. It's so easy to know that it's Shawn playing a character because his voice is so distinctive! Shawn's career, however, extends further than film, as he is a playwright and essayist as well.
In terms of his higher education, he graduated from none other than the esteemed Ivy League, Harvard University, which says a lot about the choices and investments he's made in life. He is still active within the arts community today and we doubt he will ever need a retirement home.
Philip Baker Hall - 1931
The American actor carved a niche for himself when portrayed Richard Nixon in Secret, a 1984 film by Robert Altman, Sydney Brown in the 1996 thriller, Hard Eight, and Arthur Pratt in the 2005 film, Duck. He completed his community college, initiated his acting career on TV, and joined the esteemed Los Angeles Theater Center before making a foray into films.
Hall’s other significant films include The Truman Show, The Rock, and The Zodiac. He has had to work hard to be where he is today, and the adoration and respect that he receives from fellow Hollywood stars and fans around the world is well-deserved. While he isn't as active as he used to these days, he does have a $750K net worth to help him tide through the rest of his life.
