George Hamilton — 1939
George Stevens Hamilton, the popular movie and television actor has been part of the entertainment industry since the 50s. His acting debut was in 1952, but that was an uncredited role. However, he was soon a star and was landing numerous famous projects. He won a Golden Globe Award for his debut role in Crime and Punishment U.S.A. in 1959. He starred in movies such as Home from the Hill, By Love Possessed, Once Is Not Enough, etc.
Hamilton also appeared in The Godfather II in 1990. But George has always been famous for one other thing completely unrelated to his acting skills and that's his suntan. He has always maintained his perfect suntan. We wonder how he wasn't afraid of getting skin cancer! More recently, Hamilton starred in the drama film The Congressman. The actor has a current net worth of $20 million. He is in his 80s currently, and we are sure he focuses immensely on his health and wellbeing, which he can afford, given his massive fortune.
Jack Nicholson — 1937
Do you know who has the highest number of Academy Award nominations? Well, none other than Jack Nicholson! That alone proves how talented he is as an actor. Out of all the films he starred in, he won Academy Awards for As Good As It Gets (Best Actor), Terms of Endearment Best Supporting Actor), and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (Best Actor).
His professional life has been amazing, but his personal life has been a bit messy with a string of relationships and just one marriage. Thankfully, he is a responsible father. Hope he has been responsible for his retirement planning as well and has a good amount of pension planned every month.
Dick Van Dyke — 1925
Dick Van Dyke is a huge name in Hollywood who had acted in classics like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, and Night At The Museum. The American comedian, actor, singer, dancer, and writer as evident, is a powerhouse talent who gained significant popularity for a career that spanned over seven decades. But, he had launched his career through radio and Broadway productions. Though he had survived a terrible accident, thankfully, there was no surgery involved.
The recipient of a Tony, a Grammy, five Primetime Emmys, Screen Actor Guild’s highest honor- SAG Lifetime Achievement Award, and also being inducted into the Television Hall of Fame is now 94! Of course, the ‘Disney Legend’ is not in his best health, but we hope nutritional foods if consumed would help him substantially. As regards his money is concerned, he can well afford the quality foods, for he had indeed made much in his career.
Eva Marie Saint — 1924
Eva Marie Saint started out with a career in television, but soon, she stepped into Hollywood and established herself as a big star. She laid her hands on an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for her remarkable performance in her debut venture, On The Waterfront. Eva happens to be among the last surviving stars from Hollywood’s Golden Age and therefore, she is one individual we would like to treasure for a long time. She is the oldest living Oscar winner right now and that is indeed a distinction.
Eva had enjoyed marital bliss for 65 years until her husband, Jeffrey Hayden breathed his last in 2016. She made an appearance at the Academy Awards this year and looked great health-wise, and we guess she is taking her diet seriously. Aged 96 now, she is full of energy and can put any youngster to shame. We don’t want her to change as she is an asset of the film industry and still, a darling of many hearts.
Clu Gulager — 1928
William Martin "Clu" Gulager or Clu Gulager as he is popular, is a movie and television actor, and a producer from the golden era of Hollywood. He made his debut in 1947 and has been a household name since then. He was born back in 1928, meaning that right now, he’s 91 years old. But somehow, Clu Gulager has never kept away from doing what he loves.
Some of his most successful roles include playing Billy the Kid in The Tall Man series in the early ‘60s and movies like A Nightmare of Elm Street 2: Freddie’s Revenge. After playing in the film called Give Till It Hurts in 2018, he went on to appear with a small role on the highly-anticipated Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood the following year. We are sure if he decides to retire, his net worth of $10 million will give him the life of comfort and luxury that he deserves.
Bob Newhart — 1929
Popular comedian and actor Bob Newhart’s unique selling point was delivering one joke after another with a slight stammer while keeping a straight face. Starting out as an accountant, he soon realized he was destined for greater things. Bob enjoyed a perfect professional and personal life and had no health issues. He sold off a few of his properties and got good in return. We hope that would be enough to last him a lifetime and seems that his retirement planning is all sorted and dealt with satisfactorily.
George Robert Newhart is an actor and stand-up comedian who needs no introduction. Popular by his stage name Bob Newhart, he was recently seen as a recurring guest star on the comedy television show The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon. He is in his 90s and lives comfortably with his wife Ginny Newhart in their Bel Air that cost the couple $26 million. He currently has a net worth of $65 million.

Before deciding to retire in 2016, June had already made a mark with various projects in theater, television shows, and films. She had also won the Emmy Award twice and a Tony Award.
Lockhart had been involved in multiple campaigns of Hubert Humphrey, Adlai Stevenson, John Kennedy, and Harry Truman. It’s not easy to keep up strong and healthy at 95, but we just want her to be in the pink of her health and hope that her diet and nutrition are up to the mark. Maybe a light workout deemed fit for her age and if planned by a professional trainer can work wonders, too.
Jane Fonda — 1937
Beautiful and intelligent, Jane has left her mark in Hollywood. Her unforgettable films include Klute, Coming Home, The Morning After, and many others. She won the Oscar for the first two movies. Though she took retirement early, she came back with the hit movie, Monster-In-Law. Although she took a brief hiatus from 1990 to 2005, she is pretty active now in other things and that’s what we are happy about.
Nowadays, she has stopped acting but instead of spending the rest of her days in blissful retirement. She makes a good investment of her time being an active and socially responsible person. She also speaks on various issues on global platforms. Retirement plans are not really made for these kinds of people! We really love her for what she is – a highly enterprising woman who loves to work tirelessly round the clock.
Mel Brooks — 1926
Mel Brooks happens to be one of those lucky ones who had the honor of winning all four important awards - Academy, Grammy, Emmy, and Tony. It was his directorial ventures which turned out to be more successful, and he was famous for movies like Twelve Chairs, The Silent Movie, and High Anxiety. Married to actress Anne Bancroft, the two were together until her death.
Mel Brooks is a busy grandfather now, and grandfathers can't really retire, can they? Instead, they look for anti-aging pills to catch up with their grandchildren! Born in the year 1926, Brooks is now 94 years old. He has always been a bundle of talent and has been a successful director, actor, comedian, writer, producer, as well as a composer throughout his career. Needless to say, he has enough net worth under his belt to lead a comfortable life as long as he lives.
Ann Blyth — 1928
Ann Blyth is perhaps most popular for her role as Veda Pierce in Mildred Pierce. No wonder she got nominated for an Oscar for that very role. Ann also did a number of musicals because she's good at singing. However, she gave more priority to her family because, in the fifties, she started taking up less work so that she can give her family more time.
Ann happens to be among the last surviving stars hailing from Hollywood’s Golden Age. She was married to James McNulty from the year 1953 until he breathed his last in 2007. The mother of five has ample savings to her credit to notch up a lavish way of living. Looks like she had her priorities set for a long time. We hope she had done her retirement plans right, too, so that she would never have to think of a reverse mortgage ever. We are really happy for her.
Margaret O' Brien — 1937
Margaret started her career as a child actress and even went on to win a Juvenile Academy Award for her work. When she was five, she starred in Journey Of Margaret, and that role catapulted her career to great heights, and her name stayed in the hearts of many people. Her real name, Angela, was lost, and she took up the name of Margaret.
Instead of taking a break from her career, she went on to act well into her adulthood, too. The most dramatic event that happened in her life was probably losing her Oscar at the age of 17 and getting it back again 50 years later! Now she can spend her retirement days in peace!
Kim Novak — 1933
Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo must have been Kim Novak's biggest movie ever. We can only imagine how amazing it must have been to have worked alongside the likes of Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Kirk Douglas. Then followed a number of other hit movies, but despite being at the top, Novak took retirement in 1966. Though she did come back into the spotlight, the movies she got were not up to the mark.
So she turned to art, her first love, and became a visual artist. We are quite sure that she will be never bored in her retirement home as the art will keep her busy. As for her looks, it is evident that she had opted for the best anti-aging method - cosmetic surgery!
Barbara Eden — 1931
The genie from I Dream Of Jeannie didn't have to do a lot to win over fans. Despite a humble beginning, her sheer talent helped her scale new heights in her career. Some of her other noteworthy works can be seen in The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The West Point Story, and Highway Patrol. Later in her life, she turned into an author and penned down her own autobiography. Thanks to her illustrious career, retirement planning and arranging for a decent pension every month must have been easy for her. We hope she is having a good retired life with the right diet and fitness routine. Though the death of her only son might be hard to forget for her!
Loni Anderson – August 5, 1945
The American actress gained worldwide recognition with her portrayal of Jennifer Marlowe in WKRP in Cincinnati, a sitcom on CBS. The role earned two nominations for an Emmy Award and three nominations for a Golden Globe.

Talking about her films, you might have caught Loni in The Lonely Guy, A Night at the Roxbury, and Stroker Ace. She has been married four times in her life but had to hire a family law attorney in three of them. It proves that on the personal front, she couldn’t garner much success. Loni is 73 now and is still quite active in the circuit and we guess she doesn’t want to call it quits for another five to six years.
Denise Austin – February 13, 1957

After all, her songs like These Boots Are Made for Walkin’ and Somethin’ Stupid are still being listened to, to this day, much like her famous father’s.
She was born back in 1940, making her 80 years old right now, but somehow, she remains active!

At 77, Ann Margret hasn't even thought about retirement yet as she's still featured in some popular shows of today!

Although she took a leave from her movie career in the year 1957, Powell continued with her appearances in television shows, workout videos, and commercials.

He went on to join the army as a drilling assistant and finally took retirement as a Major in 1977.
As a Vietnam war veteran, his pension must be great, and we are sure his lifestyle is great given the fact that he worked for the Marine Corps for the better part of his life. Donnie’s list of popular portrayals includes that of Peter Carey in Mother Carey’s Chickens, Tommy in Vigil in the Night, Terry Kennedy Jr in The Forgotten Woman, as well as Peter von Frankenstein in Son of Frankenstein, among others. The 85-year-old is now doing well and is in his comfort zone.
Russ Tamblyn — 1934
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Peyton Place, The West Side Story, Tom Thumb, and High School Confidential - Russ Tamblyn did all the right kind of movies and got a lot of attention while he was still young. Later in the 1980s, he worked as a choreographer. His training as a gymnast in his youth must have helped him achieve success in this field. A regular workout under a professional trainer and a good diet are all he needs to stay fit at his age.
Many of you might not know that he laid his hands on a Golden Globe in the most promising newcomer (male) category for his work in Hit the Deck in the year 1956.

Her major works in films comprise of I Was A Male War Bride, Fortune of Woman, Suddenly, Last Summer, and Helen of Troy, among several others.
However, in a few years, she shifted to another career and became a talent manager, and much later, she found her own company, Marmont Management Ltd. She looks beautiful even today, and we are sure she has a secret anti-aging potion that gives her a lot of energy and is the reason for her fitness. We love her indomitable energy.
Pat Boone — 1934
Actor, singer, composer, TV personality - Pat Boone is totally versatile. This 80-something Hollywood star has sold 45 million records and has acted in 12 Hollywood movies. That makes him one of the most versatile individuals of his times. As per the reports, Pat happened to be among the top two biggest charting music personalities during the latter half of the 50s decade.
Not just that, he has turned into a motivational speaker now and delivers speeches at big platforms. We would really like to learn how he manages to do all these without getting a burnout! The 86-year-old is indeed a constant source of inspiration for us. Spending days peacefully in a retirement home and living out of pension was not made for this man, and aren't we glad of that? May he continue to be as agile as this, forever. We have immense respect for this man and there are reasons galore.
Caren Marsh-Doll — 1919
Caren Marsh had been Judy Garland's stand-in in some scenes in The Wizard Of Oz, a 1939 classic, and as of 2018, she and Jerry Maren are the last surviving cast members of the film. She initiated her acting career with silent movies, but gradually, she decided on changing her career path to dancing which eventually went on to become her only love. In 1949, a plane crash almost took her away from us, but thankfully, Caren survived it with 12 of her co-passengers.
She is pretty active these days and offers her services as a dance instructor at least once a month. Caren has taken up a retirement from acting long back but seems to have a penchant for fitness, too. She was in a conjugal relationship with Bill Doll from the year 1950 till Bill left for his heavenly abode in 1979. Caren didn’t feel like entering into a marriage for the second time and we completely understand that. She has maintained herself quite well and has never felt the need to appoint a bankruptcy attorney.
Robert Clary — 1926
The popular French-American singer and actor was the only member of his family to pull through the Holocaust. After his release, Robert’s popularity as a singer spread all over Europe and the United States as well.

His ensemble of films comprises A New Kind of Life, Remembrance of Love, Thief of Damascus, and Ten Tall Men.

Even at this age, Marsha is a livewire and is famous for her unwavering support for climate change, ending poverty, and gay marriages in third world countries. She started out in life as a model and was a bit hesitant about pursuing a film career, but once she did, there was no looking back.
As of now, she is spending her days in Sherman Oaks, California, without having to worry about surgery or health issues. She has enjoyed a career that has spanned across seven long decades and that’s a feat in itself. Born in 1917, Marsha is well past the century mark. But her energy and vivacity can blow you off in an instant. She was married to Robert Presnell Jr till his demise in the year 1986. Besides that, she has a star in her name on the esteemed Hollywood Walk of Fame. She received the honor in 1960.

She is married to Prince Philip, popular to all as the Duke of Edinburgh since the year 1947. They have four children – Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward.
Prince William, her elder grandson is happily married to Kate Middleton. Recently, she welcomed Meghan Markle, the bride of Prince Harry, into the royal family. We wish she would focus on her diet and remain this active for many years to come before she is succeeded by her son, Prince Charles. Till then, we hope she would be as active as she has been all her life as she continues to inspire the youngsters across the world.
Elisabeth Waldo — 1918
Eminent violinist Elisabeth Waldo will turn 100 this year. She had an amazing career as a music composer and ethnomusicologist. She is a versatile woman who has acted in movies as well and carved a niche for herself. Her urge to create something will make sure that she never has one boring moment in her retirement.
Also, her highly successful career will definitely make sure that she has a solid pension plan! Some of her major albums include Land of Golden Dreams, People of the Book, Realm of the Incas, Heartstrings Soul of the Americas. Elisabeth was in a blissful marriage with Carl Schaefer Dentzel from 1948 till she lost him in 1980. She has been strong enough to support herself and notch up a grand wealth to lead a peaceful life. We are worried about her well-being these days as she is two years past 100 already.
Jackie Mason — 1931
Jackie Mason’s distinct voice made him a class apart. The iconic actor and comedian holds the 63rd position on Comedy Central's list of 100 greatest stand-up comedians of all time and wowed the world for several decades. His jokes often involve controversial topics such as race, religion, and politics. At 87 years of age, Jackie is up and running, and we guess his diet and a light workout regimen under the guidance of a professional trainer is doing the trick.
Though he has invited trouble through his politically incorrect jokes many a time, he has managed to bail himself out. Jackie has always been famous for his wit and we guess, that has helped him surpass every hurdle of life. He is married to Jyll Rosenfeld since 1991 and the two have been absolutely inseparable till now. The 92-year-old Jackie is hale and hearty and that’s what matters at the end of the day. It has always been great to witness the entertainer.
Annie Ross — 1930
Annie Ross was a famous jazz singer and actress who was part of the famous trio Lambert, Hendricks And Ross. Her parents were Vaudevillians, and they must have passed on their creative genes to her.

Her movies include Alfie Darling, Funny Money, Throw Mamma From The Train, and Superman III.
In 2009, the actress and singer received the Ross received the prestigious American Society of Composers, Authors And Publishers Jazz Wall of Fame award. Later, she went on to open a nightclub in London. However, her finances were in jeopardy because of her addiction issues. Maybe going to a drug and alcohol rehab would have helped! We wonder how she is spending her days in retirement.
Jerry Lee Lewis — 1935
American musician Jerry Lee Lewis was popular by his nickname, The Killer. He was a rock and roll star who was the first performer to introduce the wildness we often attribute to rock and roll musicians. He has been married seven times and has had a string of divorces. His first marriage was with his 13-year-old cousin when he was only 23. This union was a major blow to his career, leading to the decline of his popularity. After the scandal cooled down, he made a big comeback, and things were back to being good again.
He still performs in concerts, hence, retirement for him can wait for a few more years. The country hits that he will always be famous for are There Must Be More to Love Than This, To Make Love Sweeter for You, Me and Bobby McGee, and Would You Take Another Chance on Me. Lewis has six children from seven marriages. He had some financial issues at one point in time and had to hire a bankruptcy attorney, but Lewis has bailed himself out of the crisis and that’s what matters the most.

Norman Lloyd is 103 now, and that makes him the oldest working actor in Hollywood. He has displayed his talent in every single field of the entertainment industry and has starred in a few successful films such as Dead Poet's Society, Limelight, The Age Of Innocence, and Spellbound. His excellent physical fitness allowed him to play tennis each and every week until a fall in 2015 forced him to discontinue.
Lloyd was blissfully married to Peggy Craven from 1936 till her death in the year 2011. The couple stuck to each other throughout their conjugal partnership. They had two kids, including popular director and actress, Josie Lloyd. Hollywood would always remember him as a legend, and he continues to be an inspiration to many of his contemporaries. Retirement is a no-no and we are glad that he hasn’t even contemplated it. Good for us, definitely.

Tippi Hedren hails from Hollywood’s Golden Age, but she is more popular among the present generation for portraying Anna Steele’s grandmother in the famous Fifty Shades trilogy. Besides that, Tippi has starred in a number of significant films such as Marnie, The Birds, and The Countess From Hong Kong, and many more. Currently, she works as an advocate of animal rights and devotes her time to several charitable organizations.
Despite being in her eighties, she looks pretty awesome, and we attribute her charm to her strict diet and fitness regimen. The 90-year-old Hedren is the mother of one of the most iconic actresses of Hollywood, Melanie Griffith and we have to admit that Hedren has passed her gorgeous and talented genes om to her daughter quite well. She has had a long career, through which she has raked in some massive bucks for herself. At least, her bank account statements say so. Will it be too much expect her one more appearance on the silver screen soon?
Warren Beatty — 1937
Dapper looks and a powerhouse of talent - Warren Beatty had it all in the peak of his career! The two-time Oscar winner had a steady female fan following which, no surprises there, young Warren was gorgeous. After decades of being an actor, he has shifted his focus to writing, directing, and producing now and doesn't look like he has plans to retire anytime soon. The search for retirement homes is not for him, obviously! Even at this age, his energy and fitness are impressive — must be some magic diet that he is having!
Beatty has had the pleasure of being in a successful marital relationship with Annette Benning, the popular film and theatre actress. The two walked down the aisle in the year 1992 and nothing on this planet could break the bond the share. They look lovely together and it looks like both their personal and professional triumphs have made them elated. Beatty is one filmmaker who always owns a special place in the hearts of all the film lovers.

The amazing voice of Harry Belafonte in "Banana Boat Song" and "Jamaican Farewell" is still well-remembered. His songs got international fame and have been hugely popular across cultures. Just like his meaningful songs, he is a great human being and is famous for his charitable works. However, his health suffered a setback when he had to undergo surgery for prostate cancer. We hope he has recovered well and is taking proper care of himself under a professional trainer.
Harry is credited for making the Caribbean music of Trinidad, popular the world over. Calypso, his debut album which he churned out in the year 1956, was a super success, selling around a million copies around the globe. Harry is married to Pamela Frank and is now well into his nineties, but we strongly believe that he would easily cross the century mark. Here is wishing for his good health and long life.
Sophia Loren — 1934
Italian beauty Sophia Loren rose to fame for her stunning features as well as great talent as an actress. She entered the field of acting at the age of only 15. Later, her acting chops took her places and helped her gain international recognition. She also conquered Hollywood and amassed a huge wealth for herself. She is truly the epitome of true beauty and proves that beauty is not skin deep.
Sophia Loren is against the anti-aging method of cosmetic surgery and even warns the younger generation against it. Her diva-like attitude is still there, though age has left its mark on her face. However, it is her attitude towards life and her desire to live life fully that helps her be so energetic.
Janis Paige — 1922
Her singing performance in the Hollywood canteen got her noticed, and the rest is history.

She has always preferred to keep her life quiet and private and has never had any health hassles till now. Losing her beautiful and soulful voice was very painful for Janis, and we felt her agony, but proper treatments and the guidance of a professional voice trainer helped Paige regain it. We hope her retirement plan is working for her.
Morgan Freeman — 1937
Morgan Freeman is one of the most venerated and highest-paid stars in the Hollywood film industry. He laid his hands on an Academy Award for his breathtaking performance in the film, Million Dollar Baby. Having $150 million as his net fortune implies he has made all provisions before he contemplates on a retirement plan for himself. He is passionate about flying and even possesses a private pilot's license since he owns more than two private jets. We guess Freeman doesn’t need to be advised on his insurance plans.
He made headlines a few years back when he turned his vast ranch into a bee sanctuary. He is busy working there whenever he gets time. It’s always so nice seeing being so agile round the clock. It speaks volumes about his energy even at the age of 83. His deep baritone continues to ring in our ears and that’s the effect he has on us.
Geneviève Bujold — 1954

Ted Donaldson — 1933
Ted Donaldson came under the spotlight as a child actor and did quite well for himself. But a career in the film industry was clearly not something he wanted. When he was 19, he made his last movie Phone Call From A Stranger, and later on, it came to light that he worked in a bookshop back in the 1970s.
He probably had earned a good amount of money from his movie days and could afford his pension for his retirement days, too. A good diet and a fitness routine might be great for him at his age.
