VICTORIA PRINCIPAL — 1950

Dallas star Victoria Principal will always be known for her portrayal of Pamela Barnes Ewing. She left the show in 1987 and started her own production company. Not only that, but she also started her own line of skincare products named Principal Secret. She authored several books on the same subject, and we have little doubt that the royalties from those books must have made her uber rich. Last we heard, she was writing her fifth book! Though she had wanted to study medicine in a community college, an accident changed her life completely. She decided to move to New York City instead of finishing her education, and the rest is history. We are sure she doesn't regret anything at all!

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. Nowadays, she has stopped acting but instead of spending the rest of her days in blissful retirement, she spends 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!

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!

Nancy Sinatra – 1940

She might be Frank Sinatra’s daughter, meaning that she was predestined to be a celebrity, but Nancy has earned her spot underneath the spotlight as much as the next person! 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 79 years old right now, but somehow, she remains active! In 2020, Nany will be hosting a fundraiser with hopes of restoring the 80-year-old Plaza Theater in Palm Springs.

KATHARINE ROSS — 1940

Actress and author Katharine Rose is best known for movies like The Graduate, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, The Stepford Wives, and The Damned Voyage, among others. Her portrayal of Elaine Robinson opposite Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate and Etta Place in Butch Cassidy got her rave reviews and plenty of awards, too. She also acted on stage and for the small screen. Meanwhile, she also launched her career as an author of children's books and found success in that field. She is married to actor Sam Elliott now. It is safe to say that their lifelong earnings have helped them to make solid investments for the future.

Priscilla Presley – 1945

She is known as the only woman to ever steal Elvis Presley’s heart and for good reason, as her wit and charm have never eluded her. Priscilla Presley was born in Brooklyn back in 1945. She was married to Elvis for six years, between the ‘60s and the ‘70s, only to later become an actress and a businesswoman. She was a chairwoman to the very company that turned Graceland into what it is known to be today. She’s also starred in films like N**** Gun with Leslie Nielsen. Her upcoming project will be helping to create and produce the Agent King series on Netflix.

Ann Margret — 1941

One of the most gorgeous stars of yesteryears, Ann Margret is hard to describe in words. Her most noteworthy performances were in Bye Bye Birdie, Cincinnati Kids, and Viva Las Vegas. Though she acted in movies in the 60s and 70s, she made her comeback in the 2000s. Margret is also a singer and dancer, and her vivacious stage presence has been often compared to that of Elvis Presley's. Hope she is still active in her retirement and gets regular workouts. That must have helped her look so vibrant even in her old age.

Clint Eastwood — 1930

With a huge number of hits under his belt, Clint Eastwood was and still is one of the most successful actors ever. He was an icon of sorts in the peak of his career, and his fashion and style were highly imitated by his fans all around the globe. His most notable movies are Man With No Name, Million Dollar Baby, and Dirty Harry. The wild west look was highly popularized during his time. Though his USP was his cowboy hat and cigar, he didn't even smoke in real life, and hence, we can easily rule out any visit to the rehab. Retirement plans can take a back seat for now because this man, who moved from acting to directing, is now the Mayor of Carmel By The Sea in California.

Dick Van Dyke — 1925

Though 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. But, he had launched his career through Broadway productions. Though he had survived a terrible accident, thankfully, there was no surgery involved. However, being in his nineties now, his health is not the same. We hope the right diet and a light workout session will help him stay much better!

Richard Keith — 1950

Richard Keith is a former American child star, best known for his role on I Love Lucy as the beloved "Little Ricky". Most are unaware of this but Richard Keith is actually not his real name - his original last name, Thibodeaux, a mix between Cajun & French, was found to be too difficult to pronounce to an American audience, so he promptly changed his last name! Richard is the last living regular appearing cast member from the totally iconic and one-of-a-kind show. He represents the legacy of these shows that single-handedly changed the course of American television! Thibodeaux or Keith - we will always remember him as Little Ricky!

RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN — 1934

Richard Chamberlain became a youth icon when he took on the title role of the TV series, Dr. Kildare. He has also acted in several miniseries like Shogun and The Thorn Birds and in movies like The Bourne Identity (as Jason Bourne) and King Soloman's Mines. He was, in fact, the first man to play Jason Bourne. He appeared alongside Hollywood greats like Katharine Hepburn, Sharon Stone, and Gemma Craven. He is also noted for his acting skills on stage, mainly on Broadway productions. In 2003, he released his autobiography Shattered Love, where he confessed that he was gay. At 83, he is still quite fit, and with his good health, he keeps working on great projects even now.

Bob Barker — 1923

Bob Barker gained a lot of prominence as the host of The Price Is Right which turned out to be the longest-running daytime game show. He had, however, attended college on a basketball scholarship and later joined the army for a short while. After the war, Barker started his career in media by joining the radio. His voice and style of speaking soon made him a popular host. He retired in 2011, and apart from some minor health issues, he is doing good as of now.

Robert Redford — 1936

Robert Redford, one of the living legends of Hollywood, is famous for his roles in many classic films such as The Sting, The Candidate, Butch Cassidy, and last but certainly not least The Sundance Kid. The gifted actor is also a successful producer and entrepreneur in his own right, having founded the Sundance institute and in turn, the Sundance Film Festival. The Sundance film festival has turned into a highly respected festival for indie-directors and artists alike to showcase their films for an opportunity to expose their product to producers and a larger audience. Redford has many awards behind him and a career spanning nearly 60 years, but one of his most recognizable achievements was his Oscar win in 1981 for the extraordinary film, Ordinary People. He's currently filming his final and last film before his well deserved retirement, and we can't wait to see it! Redford has always been a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood and is an inspiration for a number of newcomers.

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.

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.

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 known 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!

Nehemiah Persoff — 1919

Nehemiah Persoff has ample to boast of in a 50-year-old career, having starred in over 200 films, television shows, and plays. His performances in movies such as The Greatest Story Ever Told and Some Like It Hot earned him accolades and appreciation from several quarters. His television shows include The Untouchables, Hawaii Five-O, and Route 66. However, his health deteriorated with time, and he eventually took a retirement in 1999. He has developed a keen interest in painting, and that itself seems to derive his health insurance from the beautiful colors around him.

Leo Rossi — 1946

Eminent actor Leo Rossi is famous for his character-based roles. He has over 100 credits to his name already and is still working with no signs of retiring. His best-known movies are Halloween II and Maniac Cop 2. He also appeared in television alongside Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street, and later in ER, JAG, and In Cold Blood. Being active in his profession must have worked as the best anti-aging method for this prolific actor.

Jon Voight — 1938

Actor Jon Voight achieved fame when he starred in the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy. He's won multiple accolades; among those are an Academy Award and four Golden Globes. He's also the father of A-list actress and philanthropist Angelina Jolie and her brother James Haven. Voight made a comeback in the late 90s after being inactive for over 10 years. Some of his work during this time included films like Heat, Mission: Impossible, Enemy of the State, and Rainmaker. Currently, he stars in the crime drama TV show Ray Donovan and he's working on the upcoming legal drama film Roe v. Wade, based on a landmark decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ernest Lee Thomas — 1949

Ernest Lee Thomas will always be known for his performances in the TV shows What's Happening!! and Everybody Hates Chris. But before honing his skills for TV, his career actually started on Broadway. Despite his eye condition called amblyopia, he got tremendous success in the entertainment industry and continues to wow his fans even now. His career investments worked quite well, and it is safe to assume that if he plans to retire now, he can have a great lifestyle.

Vivian Pickles — 1931

After starting her career as a child artist, Vivian Pickles rose to fame with her performance as Alice in a BBC production of Alice In Wonderland. Unlike many child artists, Vivian bagged meaty roles even in her adulthood. Aside from that, she also acted a lot on stage, and then banking on her amazing acting skills, she ventured into the world fo films — Isadora Duncan and The Biggest Dancer In The World got her several awards. She has not retired officially and is perfect health even now at the age of 87.

Joe Turkel — 1927

Ninety-one-year-old Joe Turkel has had quite a career! Having acted in movies like The Shining, Paths of Glory, and The Killing, Joe Turkel became a well-known name in the industry. He also claimed fame with the character Dr. Eldon Tyrell from Blade Runner. He had started his career with the army, and when he came back from the war, he pursued a career in Hollywood. He wrote screenplays and acted in movies, finally left Hollywood in 1998. It is safe to assume that he is spending his days in his retirement home now, reminiscing about his golden past.

Joanne Woodward – 1930

Joanne Woodward was a beauty ever since her teenage days. In fact, she became a beauty queen and attracted a lot of attention. Later, she ventured into theaters and finally starred in movies. She was a  brilliant actress who won the Oscar for the movie The Three Faces Of Eve. Later in her life, she, along with husband Paul Newman, set up a camp to help children suffering from cancer. Looks like not all celebrities use the millions in their banks for buying houses and cars!

Mitzi Gaynor – 1931

Mitzi Gaynor gained prominence as a singer and dancer, so she got a lot of roles in musicals. Her noteworthy movies are There's No Business Like Show Business, and South Pacific, to name a few. At the age of only 17, she signed a contract with 20th Century Fox. She also got a lot of success in the small screen in and as Mitzi. She has been showered with honors and awards because of her brilliant performances throughout the decades. Let's hope she has made tons of investments in life insurance policies, ensuring a comfortable life for the rest of her days.

Joan Collins – 1933

Actress, columnist, and author Joan Collins had the creative genes in her blood. Even her sister was no exception to that inheritance — Jackie Collins, Joan's sister, is a well-known author! She made her stage debut in A Doll's House, and later on, she went on to act in Rally Round The Flag Boys! and The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing. Her portrayal of Alexis Colby in the TV soap opera Dynasty got her the Golden Globe. Even though she is 85, she is still active. We would love to know what kind of anti-aging method she uses to keep herself looking fit and fine!

George Lazenby – 1939

Born in New South Wales, Australia, George first carried out his duties as a military unarmed combat instructor for the Australian Army Special Forces and went on to become an actor in advertising. He became the highest paid model at that time, raked in huge bucks into his bank account, and successfully maintained a safe distance from bankruptcy attorneys. Although his role of James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service received much praise from several quarters, his career failed to skyrocket. He is close to 80 now and was last seen in the 2014 television series, Legit, and Gregory Hatanaka’s Hunter in 2015.

Robert Fuller — 1933

Robert Fuller is best known for his acting in TV shows with a Western theme. He also appeared in two movies, namely The Brain from Planet Arous and Teenage Thunder. In the 70s, he also gained prominence for his role in the medical drama Emergency. He is also a noted musician who recorded songs in Germany once. By the 90s, he had largely retired from the film world, and now, he is enjoying his retired days in his ranch in Texas. His good health must have enabled him to enjoy life to its fullest even though he is 85 now.

Stacy Keach – 1941

The highly talented actor has portrayed many a dramatic role in a career that has encompassed more than 50 years. People still remember him as Mike Hammer, the fictional detective created by Mickey Spillane, a role which led him to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 1984. His other works include Nice Dreams, Prison Break, Titus, Lights Out, and American Greed. The 77-year-old actor is still alive and kicking, and throughout his life, he got hitched four times but unfortunately, had to hire a divorce lawyer in three of them.

Lynn Hamilton – 1930

Having attained fame with her debut portrayal in Shadows, she went on to carve a niche for herself as Donna Harris in Sanford and Son, a television sitcom. After finishing her college education, she pursued acting from the famous Goodman Theatre and stepped into community theatre to build up a Broadway career. Aside from appearing as Judge Fulton in The Practice, Hamilton also starred in a number of sitcoms, soap operas, and miniseries like Port Charles and Dangerous Women. At 88, Lynn still has a lot to give to this industry.  

Gale Sayers – 1943

The former professional footballer rose to fame when he became the youngest player to get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The retired Chicago Bears running back plied for his trade for the University of Kansas before being picked up by the Chicago Bears in 1965 and went on to be named as the Rookie of the Year. After finishing his footballing career, he was appointed as the athletic director of the popular Southern Illinois University over a period of five years, from 1976 to 1981, and that was enough for him to build up an enviable credit score.

Jane Withers — 1926

Jane Withers' career started when she was still a baby, and so obviously, she used to the glaring spotlight of Hollywood. As she grew up, she found herself being handed one project after another, and she peaked during the 30s and 40s where she acted in a lot of movies. Her most prominent performance was in the movie Bright Eyes, where she acted opposite Shirley Temple. She also had a presence in the small screen especially for the commercial for Comet cleanser as Josephine The Plumber. She was not just a brilliant actress who got a lifetime achievement award but also an accomplished musician. She has a number of her songs recorded which proves what a talented person she was. At 91, we hope she is spending her days peacefully in retirement.

Terry Kilburn — 1926

Terry Kilburn is best known for his portrayal of Tiny Tim in A Christmas Carol. As a child star, he got a lot of success and ruled the 30s and 40s. He did plenty of roles on the small screen as well, and as an adult, he acted on various Broadway productions. In 1969, he decided to retire from Hollywood as a screen actor, but he continued to work otherwise. As a gay man, he dated actor Charles Nolte for 50 years until his death in 2010. At present, he resides in Minnesota, and it is safe to assume that his long career has ensured that he stays away from bankruptcy.

Gloria Henry — 1923

Gloria Henry started her career in her late teens by doing radio shows and commercials. Gloria Henry's claim to fame was playing Dennis's mother in the CBS sitcom Dennis The Menace. However, her career didn't take off, and she ended up getting B-grade movies and small stints as guests in regular shows. Her career slowed down even more in the later years, compelling her to take retirement in 2005, only to make a short comeback in 2012. However, we hope that even after paying her insurance premiums, the veteran actress leads a comfortable life.

 Marilyn Knowlden — 1926

Marilyn Knowlden was a child actress who debuted at the age of 4 and worked with the likes of Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, and many other big names in Hollywood. She appeared in 39 movies and acted throughout the 30s and 40s. She took a break only to go to college and major in music, after which she got married to Army Captain Richard Goates. Her film career was over by this time, but she couldn't keep herself from joining the entertainment business. When she had to move to China after her husband was posted in this country, she became a radio announcer. Later, she came back to USA and became an accomplished musician. At the age of 70, she was back to where it all started and got a role in My Fair Lady. Now at 92, she is hopefully fit and in good health!

Diana Serra Cary — 1918

Imagine being a millionaire in the 1920s. Diana Serra Cary became such a hugely successful child artist in the Silent Age of Hollywood that she was often called The Million Dollar Baby, thanks to her $1.5 million salary each year. That would be worth $22 million in today! Within just three years (1921 to 1923), she did 150 short films. Despite her prolific acting career that filled up her bank account fast, she found herself without work as an adult. Thankfully, her creativity didn't limit her to acting, and she soon became an author and also a child star activist. This year, she turned 100, and we sincerely hope she is in great shape physically and mentally.

JIMMY LYDON — 1923

Jimmy Lydon started his career when he was a teenager. It was sheer fate though that forced him to embark on his journey as an actor. During the Great Depression, his father passed away and the entire family started struggling with the bills. He auditioned for a Broadway play and got it. He starred in Tom Brown's School Days later and also in and as Henry Aldrich. As an adult, he kept getting roles on the small screen. He even turned to production and helped create a detective series titled 77 Sunset Strip. He retired in 1987 and currently resides in his retirement home in Bonita, San Diego.

HUGH DOWNS — 1921

Hugh Downs is a former American TV host, broadcaster, and anchor. He is best known for hosting NBC's show Today, the game show Concentration, and the new magazine program 20/20. In fact, 20/20 was a show that he hosted till his retirement. He held the record for the greatest number of hours in a commercial network TV, though he later had to give it up to Regis Philbin. Aside from a successful career in front of the camera, Downs also authored a number of books. We hope he is spending his days in leisure now, though losing his wife in 2017 after 73 years of marriage must have been a big shock for him.

Ethel Kennedy — 1928

Ethel Kennedy is not just the widow of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, brother of John F. Kennedy, but she is also a well-known human rights activist. She got married to Robert F. Kennedy in 1950, and the couple had a lovely married life for 18 years and had 11 children. In fact, her husband was still studying to become a lawyer when they tied the knot. Robert F. Kennedy was killed in 1968, and Ethel was pregnant at that time with their 11th child. She also announced that she will never marry again. In honor of her husband, she opened the Robert F. Kennedy Center For Justice And Human Rights and dedicated her life working with human rights. Her contributions did not go unnoticed as she received the President's Medal Of Freedom in 2014. She is now 90 now but shows no sign of retirement!

Joyce Carol Oates — 1938

Celebrated American author Joyce Carol Oates used to be a professor in the Creative Writing program at Princeton University. Her most significant books are Them, What I Lived For, Blonde, Black Water, The Wheel Of Love, and many others. Growing up in sheer poverty, Joyce was always quite happy though as they had a close-knit family. She acquired a huge taste for reading all kinds of books and started writing at the age of 14. Banking on her talents, she earned a scholarship to Syracuse University. Her first novel came out in 1964 titled Shuddering Fall. Her prolific career and her amazing books have made her a huge contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature for several years now. Though she retired in 2014, she taught Creative Writing in Berkeley last year.

Her most significant work can be seen in La Dolce Vita, 81/2, Lola, The Tragedy Of A Ridiculous Man, and A Man And A Woman, to name a few. Having worked with some of the greatest filmmakers of all time like Federico Fellini, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Jacques Demy, she gained huge prominence and got several awards, too. Her beauty has often helped her get in the list of 100 Hottest Stars of the Century. Though she started very young, she made the right kind of investments in her career which helped her ace her career.

Margia Dean — 1922

With Greek blood running through her, Margia Dean became well-known for her incredible beauty. After getting a start in Hollywood at the age of 7, she got several more work and did some serious acting when she won the Women's National Shakespeare Contest. At the same time, she also did some modeling work and finally won the Miss San Francisco title. Her noteworthy movies include Red Dessert, Shep Come Home, FBI Girl, and a few others. But B-grade movies didn't impress her much, and she took retirement in 1964. Thankfully, she had a hugely successful career off screen and finally became the VP of a real estate firm.

Larry Storch — 1923

Larry Storch couldn't even complete school, let alone go to college, because of the Great Depression. He started his career at that time and began earning money as a stand-up comedian in New York city. Later in his life, he started acting and appeared in guest roles in several small screen shows. However, his most famous role was that of Colonel Randolph Agarn in F Troop. He also earned a lot as a voice-over actor. After ensuring that he would never have to face bankruptcy, Storch went back on stage. He performed in Broadway productions and was highly praised for his acting skills. He had been working a lot less since 2013, but is not yet fully retired, too!

Kathleen Hughes — 1928

Kathleen Hughes is best known for the cult movie It Came From Outer Space. However, she had started her journey much before that and had landed a 7-year contract with the 20th Century Fox. On the small screen, she appeared in I Dream Of Jeannie, Perry Mason, and M*A*S*H. She was also a noteworthy actress on stage, and her favorite play was the Seven Year Itch. Looking at her picture, it doesn't seem like she needs any weight loss diet and is doing great even at 90.

Arlene Dahl — 1925

One of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood is Arlene Dahl who reached the peak of her career during the 1950s. After high school, she did a lot of odd jobs that involved modeling and acting. After honing her skills, she was able to build a career as an actress, and her big break came when she clinched a role in My Wild Irish Rose, that led to an offer from MGM. Clearly, she had made the right kind of investments when it came to her career. After giving birth to her only son in 1958, she went into semi-retirement. Right now, she plays the role of a grandmother perfectly as she divides her time between visiting them and staying in her own house in Florida.

Cara Williams — 1925

It is really interesting how Cara Williams came to like acting. Incidentally, her father was a reporter and her mother was a manicurist who worked next to Brooklyn's Albee Theater. When Cara was a kid, she was left with the theater actors who would babysit her. She started impersonating various actors at that time and knew that she would want to pursue this as a career. Later, she began performing on the radio at the age of 16. Her most prominent roles were in the movie The Defiant and the TV show Pete And Gladys. After she retired from acting, she started working as an interior designer. Well, this versatile actress needed no college degrees to switch from one successful career to another — she only needed her innate talents!

Angela Lansbury – 1925

Being the daughter of an actress, Angela had the privilege of studying acting before venturing into the glamorous world of Hollywood. With her debut in the film industry, she earned two Oscar nominations for Gaslight and Picture Of Dorian Gray. Her well-known performances on stage include King And I, Sweeney Todd, and Gypsy, among others. Her TV series Murder, She Wrote, also fetched her a lot of praises. She made big investments in her own production company and leads a great life altogether.

Rosemary Harris — 1927

Rosemary Harris is an English actress who started her career on Broadway — quite a big stint already for a newbie, right? But it was well-deserved! She has given award-winning performances in shows and movies like Holocaust, Tom And Viv, Notorious Woman, and many others. She is also known for essaying the role of Aunt May in the Spider-man franchise. She turned 91 this year, but looks like age has nothing on this veteran actress for she accepted the role of Mrs. Higgins in the Broadway revival of My Fair Lady. We would love to know how she remains so full of life at such an advanced age — what is her anti-aging secret? We're dying to know!

Shirley MacLaine — 1934

Shirley MacLaine has had the honor of being named after Shirley Temple, and the privilege of being the sister of Warren Beatty. Her acting prowess earned her acclamation and appreciation from fans, the media, and critics alike, and she even laid her hands on an Oscar for her portrayal in Terms Of Endearment. At 83, she is an epitome of grace, and her skin looks absolutely flawless. It may be her keen interest in meditation and spirituality or some anti-aging tactic that’s weaving magic. Staying away from a rehab all her life might have also helped.

 

Carol Burnett — 1933

Eighty-five-year-old Carol Burnett had a long and fulfilling career that spanned over seven decades. She started her career as a stand-up comedian and went on to do Broadway shows. However, it was on television that she got maximum success for her variety show - The Carol Burnett Show. She also got several other projects on television as well as films. Apart from acting, she also wrote books, and three of her memoirs won the Grammy! Her age has nothing on her for this year she started a new show called A Little Help With Carol Burnett. We wish her many more years of good health!

Joel Fabiani — 1936

Just like Barbara Feldon, Joel Fabiani took his first steps towards fame and glory in the theater. He learned acting in the San Francisco Actors Workshop, and he couldn't have made a better investment in his life because this one paid off massively! From there on, he started appearing on TV shows and movies, some of which did extremely well. His greatest works include Barnaby Jones, The Rockford Files, Cannon, and The Streets of San Francisco. Joel is now 82 years old and enjoying his permanent vacation from work, in style.

 

Marge Champion — 1919

A singer, dancer, and actress, Marge Champion had it all in her. No wonder her amazing talents made way for her in Hollywood. She made her debut when her dance moves were used by Disney in the movie Snow White. Later, she had a great career in film musicals and Broadway productions, having even worked as a choreographer for a while. Her amazing fitness and her lifestyle as a dancer must have taught her something about staying fit, for even at 98, she seems to be doing great. Or maybe there is some secret anti-aging method involved here? Who knows!

Tony Bennett — 1926

The iconic Tony Bennett enthralled us all with his soulful singing. He is an in-demand concert singer even now. Though he faced some addiction issues in the seventies and eighties, a visit to a drug and alcohol rehab paid dividends, and Tony’s career turned around once again. He has joined hands with noted artists like Andrea Bocelli, Norah Jones, Lady Gaga, and John Mayer for Duets II, his 2011 album, which made Bennett the oldest surviving musician to grab the number one position on Billboard 200. He had never faced a bankruptcy or a reverse mortgage issue ever.

June Lockhart — 1925

June Lockhart is the daughter of late Canadian actor Gene Lockhart. She started out in 1938 and gained prominence with films such as Lost in Space and Lassie and garnered fame with her portrayal of Dr. Janet Craig in Petticoat Junction, a CBS sitcom. Before deciding to retire in 2016, June had already made a mark with various projects in theater, television shows, and films. 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 workout can work wonders for her, too.

 

Ann Blyth — 1928

Ann Blyth is perhaps best known 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. 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.

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!

Fay McKenzie — 1918

Fay Mckenzie was born into a family of actors, so she has been in front of the camera since she was 10 weeks old. As a child actress, she could have worked in the industry throughout, but she decided to complete her studies first and took a break from the public eye. Fay seems to know how to keep a balance between work and life for later when she had kids, she took a break again. Afterwards, she kept working for both television and the radio. We hope she had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth which had helped her get the best health insurance policy in the market and also have a hefty pension each month!

Johnny Crawford – 1946

As a child, Johnny Crawford started out his acting career in quite a successful way after getting to participate in The Rifleman TV series during the ‘50s and ‘60s. He continued by starring in series like William Tell but was also able to release many singles throughout the ‘60s. The last time we saw him act, however, was in 1999 in the film called The Thirteenth Floor. He made a rare exception in 2019 and went back in front of the camera for the Bill Tilghman and the Outlaws film. Johnny is now 73 years old.

Michael “Mickey” Kuhn — 1932

Gone With The Wind was child actor Mickey Kuhn's big break. However, his acting years were limited to his childhood as he wanted to do something else when he grew up. Hence, he went on to work for American Airlines and worked for the company until it was time for him to retire. His retirement home is in Naples, Florida, and we hear that he never forgets to give back to the community even at this age. He does four hours at a local hospital every week.

Donnie Dunagan — 1934

Donnie Dunagan was nothing short of a child prodigy. He proved his worth at the age of only three and went on to become the breadwinner for the family. Despite his acting chops, he took retirement after hitting his teens. But before that, he did the voice-over for Disney's Bambi. 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.

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.

Jack Grinnage — 1931

For someone who had a career spanning over 70 years, it is easy to assume that they must have a great retirement plan, a hefty pension every month, and a nice and peaceful retirement home. Meet Jack Grinnage whose last movie was Ghost Ghirls in 2013. Thankfully, his illustrious career not only helped him keep away from a reverse mortgage but also helped him maintain his fitness.

Patricia Marmont — 1921

Daughter of famous British actor Percy Marmont, Patricia's fate must have already been sealed since the day she was born. Banking on her talent and inherited creative genes, Patricia made her way to the top. 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.

 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. 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! 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?

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 is 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. 

Robert Clary — 1926

The well-known 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 took his career on to the next level with Hogan's Heroes on television and also penned down a memoir, From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary. Clary made up his mind to retire in 2001 and loves to spend his days taking photographs, touring cities, and painting. He has stayed away from a rehab all his life.

Queen Elizabeth II — 1926

Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom doesn’t need an introduction. Despite being in her nineties, she is often spotted in public events, attending several functions and ceremonies. Ruling the UK and several other Commonwealth nations since 1952, she doesn’t any signs of taking up a retirement. 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.

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, apart from being addicted to smoking. 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.

Bud Cort — 1951

Bud Cort was considered to be a child prodigy for his painting skills. It was during this time when he started taking acting classes, and soon, there was a shift in his interests. He was discovered by director Robert Altman and got his big break in the movie Harold and Maude where he played the role of Harold. The movie didn't get much success at the time of its release, but now it is easily considered a cult classic in the history of American films. Unfortunately, his rising career was hindered by a terrible road accident where he sustained multiple fractures and injuries and had to pay up huge hospital and surgery bills despite having the best health insurance. He didn't stop though and even worked as a voice actor. That's what you call perseverance!

 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. 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!

Jackie Mason — 1931

Jackie Mason’s distinct voice made him a class apart. The iconic actor and comedian holds the 63^rd 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.

 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. They truly have one talented family for her brother happens to be Jimmy Logan, an entertainer, and her aunt, Elle Logan, was a singer and actress, too. Her movies include Alfie Darling, Funny Money, Throw Mamma From The Train, and Superman III. 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 known better 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.

Vera Lyn — 1917

Renowned English singer Vera Lyn charmed the British Armed Forces and the world with her mellifluous voice during the Second World War. She was The Forces’ Sweetheart, cheering them up with her songs. She retained her popularity even after the war. Lynn is the recipient of the British War Medal and was appointed as a Dame of the British Empire in 1975. She has resided in Sussex since the 1960s and is still quite active; we hope she is focusing more on her health and life insurance policies.

Norman Lloyd — 1914

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. 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!

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 had enjoyed marital bliss for 65 years until her husband 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.

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.

Sonia Darrin — 1924

Agnes Lowzier from the 1946 movie The Big Sleep will always be remembered as a Hollywood classic. It was also actress Sonia Darrin's claim to fame. Later, she got married to Bill Reese, and they had four children together. She has been staying in her Upper West Side house in New York for 50 years now, and we don't think she is going to move anywhere any time soon. We guess this place is not only her lovely abode but also her retirement home, too.

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!

Harry Belafonte — 1927

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 known for his charitable works. However, his health suffered a setback when he had to undergo a surgery for prostate cancer. We hope he has recovered well and is taking  proper care of himself under a professional trainer.

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.

She is truly the epitome of true beauty and proves that beauty is not skin deep. She 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.

John Astin — 1930

John Astin carved his own space in Hollywood with his portrayal of Gomez Addams in The Addams Family. He has had a flourishing career and has starred in hugely successful films such as National Lampoon's European Vacation, The West Side Story, and The Frighteners.

Astin continues to share the skills and lessons he has learned all his life to his students at the prestigious John Hopkins University. He is doing great as far as his health and finances are concerned.

Janis Paige — 1922

Her singing performance in the Hollywood canteen got her noticed, and the rest is history. Janis Paige took long strides in her career and starred in films like Two Gals And A Guy, Romance On The High Seas, and many more. 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.

Acting ran in her veins as her mom, Effie Graham, was an actress herself. Her career took a quantum leap during her high school days, and she floored all and sundry with her performance in the film, Spellbound. She went on to act in several other super successful films opposite famous actors. She is enjoying her retirement now and visits the gym from time to time.

Aside from being an actor, he made a name for himself as an artist and a musician as well. Dean stresses on saving the environment and dabbles in golfing in his free time. He seems to be quite focused on his nutrition and fitness, and we wouldn’t be surprised at all if Stockwell hires a professional trainer some day.

The Canadian actress worked her way up with her performance as Anne Boleyn in Anne of the Thousand Days, a 1969 film, and she went on to earn a Golden Globe Award in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama category. She has attained huge successes in her Hollywood career and has meticulously planned out her insurance policies. The 75-year-old star doesn’t look her age one bit, and we guess her anti-aging techniques are reaping great dividends for her. May she be with us for many more years to come.

Karolyn Grimes — 1940

Despite facing one mishap after another in her personal life, child actress Karolyn Grimes still looks strong and is active at this age. Though she was immensely talented as an actress, she had to move away from Hollywood because she lost both her parents and had to go and live with her next kin. Seems like she is ready to face any challenge life throws at her, and that has helped her emerge stronger. Of course, regular workout in the gym does help, too!

 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 was known 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.

Debra Paget — 1933

The star who acted alongside Elvis Presley in his debut film Love Me Tender was none other than Debra Paget. But Debra Paget is known for an even better film, Cecile D. Mile's The Ten Commandments. She was also known for her risque snake dancing in the movie The Indian Tomb. She took retirement in 1965 and definitely had a solid retirement plan that must have worked well for her and help her get a decent pension every month.

Even after his days as an actor were over, he still remained active and went on to direct films. He released his own album and turned a diplomat, too. Looks like there isn't anything this talented old man can't do! We hope he is living his life peacefully in his retirement home now and receives ample amount of pension to maintain a great lifestyle and have a professional trainer in his gym!

 William Shatner — 1931

Remember William Shatner? James T. Kirk from Star Trek or the Ninja pitchman for Priceline - which one do you remember better? His other great work is from T. J. Hooker, Rescue 911, 3rd Rock From The Sun, and Better Late Than Never. With 70 years of experience under his belt, this Canadian actor must have planned his retirement really well. He must have stayed away from rehab and addiction issues because his wife was killed because of her addiction. Let's hope he stays in good health for many more years.

Ed Asner — 1929

Besides being an actor, Ed Asner is also a renowned activist who was elected as the president of the Screen Actors Guild. He enchanted the audience with his portrayal of Santa Claus in Elf, a 2003 film, besides garnering fame with several television shows.

Jerry Mathers — 1948

It's been 61 years since the cute little munchkin - and rascal - named Theodore entered our lives as "The Beaver" in the iconic, 'Leave It To Beaver'.

We wish him nothing but the best during his well deserved retirement.

Growing up, Joyce Randolph was no newbie when it came to show business. Having played small parts here and there until she was finally cast for and starred in a Broadway play! After her debut on Broadway she was spotted and cast in the iconic sitcom, The Honeymooners. Fame was quick to find her and stay with her as she remained in the spotlight for many years to come.

She also won the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She took a semi-retirement from the film industry because she always got stereotypical roles.

Her big bank accounts have ensured that she will stay away from bankruptcy for the rest of her life. Let's hope her financial planning advisor has made a great retirement plan for her!

Grace Jones - 1948

Jamaican supermodel Grace Jones wore many hats. She is a singer, songwriter, and an actress who launched her career in 1973. Soon, she became a huge name in the fashion industry and made a place for herself with her distinctive androgynous features. Aside from being a model, she also launched her music career in 1977.

Sally Ann Howes - 1930

The Hollywood stars of yesteryears were not just gorgeous but tremendously healthy, too. They would put their life insurance policies to shame. Sally Ann Howes is at 88 now and shows no signs of retirement.

We pray for his well-being.

Betty White — 1922

The star who won our hearts in Golden Girls, Boston Legal, and in movies like The Proposal and Lake Placid must have found out some magic diet that works as her anti-aging potion.

Though she was the top-earning female actress in the whole world in 1970, she let go of her glamorous lifestyle and chose to move to Santa Fe. Last we heard, Ali has taken a special interest in yoga.

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!

Linda Evans – 1942

In her career that encompassed nearly 30 years, Linda Evans made many a man go weak in his knees with her sultry looks. She is well past three-quarters of a century now but has retained that grace and beauty that she had always been famous for. We mean, who can forget the sensuous Audra Barkley from The Big Valley or in that case, the gorgeous Krystal Carrington from Dynasty. She is still quite up and running and has a lot of beauty secrets and anti-aging techniques to share with her fans. We really adore this woman

Kirk Douglas & Anne Buydens Douglas — 1916 & 1919

Kirk Douglas is perhaps one of the oldest living male celebrities in the whole world. At 102 now, he seems to be in top shape, living an opulent life with his wife from his second marriage, Anne Buydens, who is 99. Believe it or not, the two have been married for over 64 years! Back then, their union had been the talk of town, and since then, they've surpassed all the slips and falls together. Anne Buydens is a philanthropist and producer who has acted in a few movies, too. With Kirk Douglas, she has two sons. Despite their advanced ages, they are having a good life. Of course, they are probably covered by the best health insurance money can buy!

Some of his most famous movies are Bunny Lake Is Missing, Madame X, and 12 O'Clock High, among others. But his best work? Well, we're sure you recognize him from the iconic cult classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was this role that gave him international recognition, and he traveled to Europe often in order to shoot for European movies. At 82, it is his indomitable spirit that keeps him going and probably the fact that he must have made big investments in his health throughout his life. We wish him the very best in his life.
