A devastating piece of news came Clark’s way, though, in December 2020. The Nashville suicide bomber blasted Downtown from his vehicle as he went about his violent Christmas Day explosion plan. The British songstress was shocked that her Grammy Hall of Fame-inducted song was used and shared her sympathy with Nashville, Tennessee, via Facebook.

Michael Caine – Age 89

Old but gold – that’s how we describe Michael Caine! The so-called old age didn’t make him rusty at all, and it was proved in his 2018 film titled ‘King of Thieves.’ His portrayal of Brian Reader took the movie’s acclaim to the next level – we have to say that he nailed the role!

Many don’t know this, but Michael came from a different background, unlike the other celebrities. He was enlisted in the British army for two years before he came back and started acting. Now we know why he has worked in so many action films!

Thanks to her role in the show, Dobson was also able to climb the UK Single charts as a singer, with the EastEnders-inspired theme “Anyone Can Fall in Love.”

As an actress, she has starred in various films and TV series, but the ‘That Girl’ star also enjoys being an author and producing shows.

Loretta Swit – Age 84

Loretta Swit had a prolific career as an actress, but she gained much attention when she bagged a role in the hit TV show ‘MASH.’ The show’s success was unparalleled, and it became an instant classic because of its witty dialogue and storyline. Fortunately for Swit, it put her on top of the celebrity A-list after winning two Emmy Awards!

When she’s not busy with TV, Swit spends time performing in the theatre. Although the talented actress last appeared in ‘GSN Live’ in 2008, she reportedly made an impressive comeback in a 2019 film called ‘Play the Flute

Struthers’s time in Tinseltown seems far from over, and the star is not looking at retirement just yet! She consistently appears in films, series, and even theater. Her activism towards impoverished kids has also garnered attention and appreciation by many.

Victoria Principal – Age 72

Being the author of ‘The Body Principal’ and heading successful business ventures like a production house and her own skincare line, Victoria Principal really has won Tinseltown in every aspect.

It’s no wonder Victoria is an age-defying beauty, as she’d have to be young at heart to build and maintain an empire relentlessly. It’s also hard to imagine the doe-eyed star who played Pamela Barnes on the ever-popular ‘Dallas’ come such a long way from being the girl-next-door of the ’80s. Here’s hoping she makes a comeback on the small screen again soon!

Margaret O’Brien – Age 85

Margaret O’Brien is still actively doing what she loves regardless of her old age. As a veteran artist, it is evident that her portfolio is filled with several Hollywood blockbusters. Not only that, but she even won a juvenile Academy Award, thanks to her fabulous acting!

Talking about the Oscars, did you know that her trophy was stolen long years ago? Yes, they were missing in 1954, and the thief was none other than her maid! Fortunately, one of her peers found it in an auction house approximately 50 years later, and the committee decided to create an individual re-handover, just for this actress!

Connie Francis – Age 84

The brunette beauty of the ‘50s, Connie Francis, had already made her mark in show-biz as a striking actress and songstress, with acting credits in ‘Jamboree’ and ‘Boys Meet Girls. Despite that, she left the spotlight early to live a quiet life after some lows in her personal life.

Having amassed a huge fortune of $25 million, Connie can afford to kick back and relax in her eighties. Yet, she chooses to inspire future generations by penning down her words of wisdom in memoirs such as ‘Among My Souvenirs.’

Warren Beatty – Age 84

His charming smile and incredibly handsome looks were enough to make the ladies swoon, back in the 1970s and 1980s. We’re sure that Warren’s appearance helped, but his success in Hollywood was due to impressive acting capabilities. He has been nominated fifteen times for Academy Awards and is the proud recipient of the highest honor called the Irving G. Thalberg Award.

Even though Beatty’s appearances on the screen have slowed down, the actor hasn’t hung up the boots yet. He continuously works behind the scenes as a producer, director, and takes up acting projects here and there.

Pat Boone – Age 87

We don’t see the veteran actor Pat Boone of ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ fame, on our screens anymore. Neither do we hear him serenade us with his melodies that wafted around in the ‘60s. But it doesn’t mean he’s done with acting.

He’s just spending more time away from the hustle and bustle of Tinseltown. It’s understandable after the toll it took on him after his beloved wife of over six decades passed away in 2019. Don’t worry though – he’ll be back with a bang in the documentary ‘Grand Theft Gospel: We Shall Overcome.’

Angie Dickinson – Age 88

Angie Dickinson was last seen in 2009 in the film ‘Mending Fences,’ but has since noticeably been absent. She currently lives in Beverly Hills and is enjoying a peaceful retirement after living the hectic life of a famous celebrity.

In an enthralling career spanning six decades, Angie has starred in more than 50 movies, the most notable being ‘The Art of Love’ and ‘Ocean’s 11.’ She has been nominated for several Golden Globes and Emmy Awards. The actress had an aura of influence and was reportedly behind the surge of women applicants for police positions in the late 1970s.

Terry Kilburn – Age 93

Terry was merely 10 when he got his debut in Hollywood and came to be known as one of the most prolific child actors of his time. The actor’s work in classics such as ‘A Christmas Carol’ and ‘Goodbye, Mr. Chips’ has been revisited many times. After graduation, he pursued studies in theatre as this is what his heart desired.

After 1969, Kilburn retired to pursue his passion for working behind the screen. Luckily, he was offered the position of artistic director of Meadow Brook Theatre in Michigan, and the rest is history. The star now resides in Minneapolis and lives a serene life.

Glynis Johns – Age 96

The gorgeous woman was a complete package as an artist. Before retiring in 1999, Glynis used to enthrall the audiences by singing, dancing, and her nuanced paintings. Her stellar performances in ‘Mary Poppins’ and ‘A Little Night Music’ have already made history. She carved a niche for herself and was known for her vivacious persona and rare husky voice.

Johns also had the reputation of keeping everyone happy around her with a signature warm smile. In rare interviews with her, it is evident that the exuberance has not gone away with age. The actress is now enjoying time away from the limelight peacefully!

Shirley MacLaine – Age 86

Shirley MacLaine has authored several autobiographies about her eventful career and travels. Fans of the star will be glad to know that she is still very active in Hollywood. In 2019, her film ‘Noelle’ was released. The singer also has several other exciting projects lined up, which is great because, honestly, we don’t think we’ll ever get tired of seeing her.

The green-eyed beauty was once the most sought after actress of her time. An Academy Award winner, Shirley’s brilliant performance in ‘Terms of Endearment’ is still highly praised. As a woman with many talents, it seems like she has done it all!

Clint Eastwood – Age 90

In his prime years, Clint was considered the king of action movies, and his notable works include ‘Unforgiven’ and ‘The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.’ The highlight of his career came when he was bestowed by France’s highest honors for the outstanding contribution made to cinema. The remnant of the tough-guy look can still be found on his face.

So, the actor is far from done. Eastwood has his hands full with direction and numerous acting projects. In 2018, his film ‘The Mule’ released to critical acclaim and commercial success. It looks like he’s still got it!

Jackie Mason – Age 92

While some people may recognize Jackie Mason as a comedy-specialist actor, his devotees will praise his stand-up skills more! In fact, he began his career as a comic in private comedy clubs for years before going viral and attaining bigger roles in funny movies.

Starting ten years ago, Jackie decided to slow down and rarely appeared in any program, except for voicing over several ‘The Simpsons’ episodes. Although there is no direct statement from him until today, people suspect that this artist wanted to enjoy retirement life, something that he surely deserves.

Ursula Andress – Age 84

Who can forget the scene in ‘Dr. No,’ where a stunning Ursula Andress walked out of the water in an iconic white bikini? There have been many gorgeous Bond girls over the years, but Ursula is the original one.

Known for her striking looks and perfect frame, this Swiss actress has appeared in quite a few Italian and Hollywood movies since. After the birth of her son, however, Andress started to live a quiet life in Switzerland, where she concentrates on art and photography. As for the bikini, it was sold at an auction for a whopping £35,000! As they say, all’s well that ends well.

Tina Turner – Age 80

Best Known for her exceptional charismatic stage presence and soulful voice, Tina Turner remained the face of rock and roll music for more than 50 years. She rose to fame with hubby Ike in her 20s, although they parted ways later. Then, Tina reinvented herself and became one of the biggest-selling stars with songs like ‘Private Dancer.’

Now, in her 80s, she has been retired for more than a decade. But Tina’s voice is just as beguiling as ever, although she admits that she doesn’t miss singing. Besides, who needs to work after 200 million record sales and amassing a staggering net worth of $270 million?

Estelle Harris – Age 92

Estelle Harris is one of those actors whose unique voice is more famous than her face. After playing George Costanza’s overbearing and hilarious mother in the beloved sitcom ‘Seinfeld,’ Harris went on to voice some rather famous characters.

‘Toy Story’ fans will recognize Estelle as Mrs. Potatohead, and it’s no surprise that she continues to lend her voice to many animated programs. Despite being in her 90s, the TV icon loves to work and has no intention of retiring. The funny lady divides her time between her two homes in West Hollywood and Palm Springs, both of which are filled with antiques and oddities like the famous Costanza doll.

Al Roker – Age 65

Al Roker is famous among the masses as the weathercaster for NBC. When it comes to living life to its fullest, he has done it all. Al is undoubtedly among the most famous TV personalities of all time, perhaps, owing to his unique style of reporting.

But the little known fact is that Al is also a Broadway star and a Guinness World Record holder. The ‘Today Show’ host has also had his fair share of screen appearances outside of news studios, with ’30 Rock’ and ‘Will and Grace.’ Now, in his 60s, Al still has no plans to stop.

Jaclyn Smith – Age 74

‘Charlie’s Angels’ wouldn’t have been the same without Jaclyn Smith’s unparalleled beauty and style. Unlike most women her age, the actress is still as stunning as she once was!

The hit show was the highlight of Jaclyn’s career, but she’s also been successfully running a business empire for a while now. After designing women’s apparel and home furnishings for ‘Kmart,’ the star even started her own line of wigs called ‘STYLE.’ Talk about a triple threat! While Smith is no longer focusing on acting, we’re sure we’ll see her onscreen, perhaps in another cameo role as a veteran angel.

Al Pacino – Age 80

From his humble beginning in an impoverished neighborhood to becoming a legend in the world of acting, Al Pacino has come a long way. His career changed forever when he was cast as Michael Corleone in ‘The Godfather,’ and after that, there was no turning back.

With plenty of awards and accolades under his belt and a net worth of $165 million, Al Pacino’s acting career is still going strong. His recent hits include Netflix’s ‘The Irishman’ as well as the Amazon series’ Hunters.’ It seems like there’s nothing this actor can’t do, and we can’t wait for what’s next!

Dolores Hart – Age 80

It’s hard to imagine how Dolores Hart exchanged her flourishing Hollywood career to become a nun. That might sound extraordinary, but she did so! Her life story was even featured in a documentary called ‘God is Bigger Than Elvis’ in 2012.

Hart became the envy of many women when she debuted in a film opposite the King of Rock n’ Roll, Elvis Presley, so everyone was surprised when she announced she was leaving everything behind. The actress entered the solemn ‘Abbey of Regina Laudis Monastery’ and has never been more fulfilled.

Mickey Kuhn – Age 86

At the tender age of 7, Mickey Kuhn shot to superstardom as one of Hollywood’s most-loved up-and-coming child actors after appearing in ‘Gone with the Wind.’ Many expected him to have a lucrative career in the film industry, but he pushed that aside to become a commercial aviator. And he has loved every minute of it!

Despite quitting showbiz at an earlier time, fans still appreciate his last few episodes in ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents.’ Kuhn is spending the best remaining years of his life in Naples with his lovely wife and family.

Eileen Atkins – Age 84

Eileen Atkins goes way back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, where she first debuted onscreen as Maggie Clayhanger in ‘Hilda Lessways.’ The actress is also known for various theater productions such as ‘The Retreat from Moscow,’ but it was her performance in ‘Cranford’ that changed everything. It’s no surprise that the riveting show earned her numerous accolades from prestigious award-giving bodies like the ‘BAFTA TV Awards’ and the ‘Emmy Awards’!

Despite getting diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995, Atkins persevered and conquered her illness after undergoing treatment. After her recovery, she resumed acting and made an appearance as Queen Mary in the hit series ‘The Crown.’

Bernadette Peters – Age 72

Broadway fans loved Bernadette Peters the minute she starred in her first musical. The singer-actress is such a well-rounded performer who divides her time between film, TV, and musical theatre – and she shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.

Peters was awarded the much-coveted ‘Hollywood Walk of Fame Star’ in 1987 and has done numerous concerts and appearances throughout the world. She has since settled down in New York with her rescue dogs. With a fair number of awards under her belt, one can say Peters is contented as she attained the pinnacle of her career!

Julie Andrews – Age 82

Julie Andrews made her mark in Hollywood after starring as the iconic Mary Poppins, and she has been unstoppable ever since. Her career took her to various films where she showcased her talents in both singing in acting; however, it was the unforgettable role of Fraulein Maria in the musical ‘The Sound of Music’ that won the hearts of people globally.

Thankfully, the younger generation got to know Andrews in ‘The Princess Diaries,’ where she portrayed a queen. The role certainly befits her, considering she still looks magnificent for someone her age!

Diane Sawyer – Age 74

As a journalist, Diane Sawyer has lived an incredibly colorful life. From being an anchor on world-renowned shows, including ‘Good Morning America’ to securing interviews with high-profile personalities – she has indeed done it all!

The biggest highlight of her life was Sawyer’s recognition in ‘Forbes’ list of the world’s 100 Most Powerful Women,’ an honor bestowed only to select people throughout history. Plus, she was also inducted to the ‘Television Hall of Fame,’ which is also an impressive feat on her resume. Sawyer has taken things slow to enjoy more of her personal life, but she will always be remembered for her exceptional broadcasting skills.

Joanne Woodward – Age 90

One of the Golden Age’s finest actresses, Joanne Woodward, is best known for her piercing eyes and charming smile. She was honored with the first star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is the oldest living ‘Best Actress – Academy Award’ winner.

Joanne’s long-lasting love story with actor Paul Newman began in 1953 and was an inspiration to many. Together, they starred in hits like ‘Paris Blues,’ ‘A New Kind of Love,’ and ‘The Three Faces of Eve.’ After Newman’s passing, Woodward has continued to stay away from the limelight in the outskirts of California. She’s like a rare star that continues to shine brightly no matter what!

Jack Nicholson – Age 83

Jack Nicholson may have had a slow start to his career, but after some stellar performances in movies like ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ and ‘The Shining,’ the world couldn’t help but take notice of him.

In recent years, the Hollywood A-lister has kept a rather low profile. When asked about his absence from the movie business, Nicholson said that he simply doesn’t feel the need to still be out there. We suppose even the best have to call it a day sometimes. Besides, the brilliant actor has achieved everything he ever set out to do and has plenty of nominations and awards to show for it.

Lili Tomlin – Age 81

As expected from a Hollywood actress, Lili Tomlin’s portfolio is indeed appealing. She has starred in various blockbusters, attaining both leading and supporting characters. But among them, the most famous role was in ‘The Late Show’ – this artist successfully achieved some prestigious awards, including the Berlin International Film Festival!

Today, despite her old age, she is still as prolific as ever! Even though she has announced her retirement long ago, Lili occasionally appears on television, whether as a host or performing another role. Her productivity shows us that age is just a number!

Paul Hogan – Age 80

Paul Hogan is best known for becoming the first Australian actor to make it big in Hollywood. The comedian made us fall in love with the land down under with his performance in ‘Crocodile Dundee’ and has continued to make us laugh ever since.

In recent times, Hogan has performed in stand up shows and even won a ‘Longford Lyell Award’ for his contribution to his native cinema. With a recent appearance on ABC’s ‘A Fortunate Life- Paul Hogan’ and an upcoming autobiography titled ‘The Tap Dancing Knife Thrower,’ the funnyman doesn’t seem to be retiring anytime soon.

Faye Dunaway – Age 79

Faye Dunaway’s most sensational post-retirement appearance probably happened not-so-long-ago, when she accidentally addressed the incorrect winner in the 2017 Academy Award when handing out the trophy for Best Picture. But keeping her mistake aside, we have to be happy for one thing – this artist looked super-beautiful and energetic in her old age!

Besides her occasional emergence in American entertainment platforms, today, Faye spends most of her spare time at the church. As a devoted catholic, she always attends a regular mass (almost) every day, especially after her retirement. Maybe, the spiritual solitude is the only thing that this celebrity seeks now!

Darryl Hickman – Age 89

Following his older brother, Darryl Hickman began his acting profession when he was a kid, starring in classic blockbusters such as ‘The Star Maker’ and ‘Rhapsody in Blue.’ Sadly, his career didn’t last that long, as he decided to retire in the early 60s.

More than three decades have passed since his last appearance in the Hollywood movies, and Darryl is still as energetic as possible! He picked coaching as his next occupation after giving up the acting jobs, and it turned out to be fruitful. Not only teaching, he even issued some publications, including a must-read book by

Nancy Olson – Age 92

Living away from the spotlight often becomes many Hollywood artists’ choice during retirement, mainly to avoid paparazzi and unnecessary exposure. Nancy Olson is also the same. Since her last interview in 2014, she rarely appears in public anymore, except for a quick question and answer session.

Despite her seclusion, nobody can ever forget Nancy, thanks to this artist’s contributions in the mid-Hollywood era. She was among the progressive artists that escalated the industry’s fame pretty significantly in the post-world war II period! Her performances in ’50s movies with William Holden were super-fabulous, making the movie ticket sales increase tremendously.

Maggie Smith – Age 86

You may not know who Maggie Smith is, but that only lasts until we mention Professor Minerva McGonagall from the ‘Harry Potter’ saga! Her role in the movie is among the iconic ones, mainly due to the films’ unmatched success and her brilliant acting skills!

After the series ended, some people would have expected her retirement, as this beautiful celebrity has entered the senescence period. But Maggie proved them wrong as she still keeps appearing in both television and cinema works, like the critically acclaimed ‘Downton Abbey.’ What an absolute queen!

Dolly Parton – Age 74

Most internationally-acclaimed singers normally decide to retire after reaching their 70s to enjoy some solitude, but that’s not for Dolly Parton! Albeit, not as often as before, she still regularly creates music, shows up as a guest at television programs and goes for regional tours.

Besides her music-related activities, Dolly is also a generous philanthropist! She loves to do charitable acts through the Dollywood Foundation – her own NGO organization, which covers various sectors, from education to nature-related projects. She even donated a total of $1 million in early 2020 for COVID19 related research by Vanderbilt University.

Anthony Hopkins – Age 83

When we are talking about dedication in acting, nobody can rival Anthony Hopkins! His commitment to every movie role is top-notch, as he usually repeats the dialogue numerous times (up to 200 even!) to achieve utmost clarity and naturality. No wonder his portrayal as Hannibal Lecter in ‘Silence of the Lambs’ was legendary – he even obtained an Oscar!

Unfortunately, we cannot see his performances anymore, as Mr. Hopkins has rarely made an appearance in public since the 2010s. Yes, he is retired now and wants to enjoy it to the fullest without the limelight shining down on him.

Donald Sutherland – Age 85

Donald Sutherland is the man behind many top-rated Hollywood movies and TV series. Starting his career as a radio announcer, he quickly raised in prominence, mainly due to his handsome appearance and top-notch acting. This actor was even inducted in both the Hollywood and Canadian Halls of Fame!

But if you think that Donald has retired from the acting world due to his old age, you are wrong! In his 80s, he still acts for blockbusters, and some of them are still in the production period. Hopefully, the bustling activities won’t put too much strain on his body.

Sam Elliot – Age 75

If there is someone better known for his iconic mustache and baritone voice, we would love to know. But, we bet there is no match to Sam Elliot’s class. For more than the past four decades, he has trademarked the persona of the ideal American cow-boy.

‘The Big Lebowski’ star is undoubtedly ranked right there among the most recognized actors in Hollywood. These days, the Oscar-winning actor is in his seventies and continues to rock the business with his talented acting, directing, and writing skills. He currently boasts a net worth of $12 million.

Richard Dean Anderson – Age 70

‘MacGyver’ star, Richard Dean Anderson, is in his 70s these days and stays out of the limelight. But today’s generation might not know what a heartthrob he was back in his time. Until the age of 18, Richard aspired to become a hockey player, but lucky for us, he eventually decided to bless our TV screens with his charming face.

In 2011, citing the reason as wanting to spend more time with his beautiful daughter, he decided to retire. But if we are honest, we would love to see a little more of the ’80s classic actor in the years to come

Alan Alda- Age 84

Rising to fame in the ’60s, Alan Alda is fondly remembered as ‘Hawkeye’ for his role in the famous hit TV series ‘MASH.’ Not only this, but the show also paved the way for five Emmy nominations and two awards for his tremendous work.

Many people don’t know that in 2018, the actor revealed that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Yet, the disease has not slowed Alda even a bit as he continues to perform, take boxing sessions, and regularly play tennis. Well, that is awesome for someone who is in his 80s!

Alex Trebek – Age 80

You are probably living under a rock if you haven’t heard of the sensational Alex Trebek yet! Among many other TV series, the six-time Emmy Award winner amassed great fame and fortune from hosting ‘Jeopardy!’ – a weekly television game show that has been going on-air for over 35 years. Even though there have been rumors about his retirement, Trebek’s contract is active until 2022. Who would want to leave their job if it gets them $78,000 per episode?

In his early 80s, the super talented professional shares his secret to maintaining the balance- “Take your job seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.” Take note, everyone!

Tina Louise – Age 86

Predominantly famous for her on-screen character Ginger from ‘Gilligan’s Island,’ Tina Louise has been ruling millions of hearts since the mid-1950s. Born into a Jewish family, Tina starred in an advertisement for her father’s candy store, which got her a prominent role in another radio commercial at the age of two. As they say, the rest is history! The celebrity has maintained a steady career throughout.

Lately, Tina appeared on Ken Kushner’s 2019 film ‘Tapestry,’ and it seems that the prolific actress doesn’t plan to retire anytime soon. Evidently, she’s very passionate about her craft!

Robert Redford – Age 83

Actor, businessman, and environmentalist Robert Redford signed his debut movie ‘War Hunt’ in the year 1962 and has been active in the industry for six decades since then. As a performer and producer, he has mastered both sides of the camera, and his Oscar-winning directorial debut ‘Ordinary People’ is proof of that.

Apart from his acting life, the Hollywood legend made several contributions to society and had been very vocal about his political opinions. Consequently, Robert was presented with America’s highest civilian honor in 2016. We are sure while relaxing on a rocking chair, in his 80s, the legend must be very proud of himself!

Elinor Donahue – Age 83

Elinor Donahue rose to fame between the 1960s and early 1980s with her notable work in ‘Star Trek,’ ‘The Odd Couple,’ and ‘The Andy Griffith Show.’ Elinor did everything rather early in life! The famous actress began her acting career when she was only six years old and got married at the age of nineteen. Divorcing her first husband, she married producer Harry Ackerman who passed away in 1991, and after that, she wed again.

Even though the Emmy Award winner never officially bid adieu to her profession, Elinor believes that an actor doesn’t ever retire entirely, your work keeps calling you back!

Carleton Carpenter – Age 94

Not many people get a lion as a co-star, but Carleton Carpenter owned the screen in his 1952 ‘Fearless Fagan’ showing no sign of discomfort in taming such a huge animal. What a brave risk-taker! Tall, handsome, and talented, Carleton did many hit films, television shows, Broadway shows, and commercials for seven decades.

After leaving a mark in the film and music industry, he spends most of his time writing books in his 90s. A published author of eight books, Carleton drafts his novels on a typewriter rather than a computer. The legend is indeed an old school soul!

Barbara Walters – Age 90

Barbara Walters may be in her 90s, but she still remains an icon in the field of journalism. Not only did the television personality create and co-host ‘The View’ for 17 years, but she also became well-known for her women’s interest stories and outspoken nature.

Since her retirement, the journalist has kept it low-key and stayed out of the limelight. Considering how she spent decades traveling the world and interviewing the who’s who of the industry, can you blame her? While we miss Barbara on-screen, there’s no denying the impression she’s left in our hearts and minds.

Ron Howard – Age 66

Ron Howard first became famous as Opie Taylor in ‘The Andy Griffith Show,’ but the child actor found his true calling as a director and producer later in life. With hits like ‘Apollo 13’ and ‘A Beautiful Mind’ to his name, Howard has undoubtedly distinguished himself from the rest in the industry.

The versatile star has also been an executive producer for many award-winning films and television shows, including ‘Arrested Development,’ and recently ventured into teaching the art of directing. It’s safe to say that whatever Howard touches turns to gold!

Keith Thibodeaux – Age 69

It has been a couple of decades since Keith Thibodeaux won our hearts as Little Ricky on ‘I Love Lucy.’ A lot has changed since then, but the one thing that has stayed constant is his adorable smile! After his television stint, the child star joined the rock band ‘David and the Giants’ and achieved huge commercial success.

Keith is happily married to Kathy Denton, and the two own a dance company called ‘Ballet Magnificat.’ While he’s no longer in the acting business, Thibodeaux maintains that he loves the show that made him famous and is proud of what it has become!

John Astin – Age 90

The ‘Addams Family’ couples costume is undoubtedly a favorite for Halloween, but did you know that John Astin played Gomez’s role in the original sitcom? While he never quite attained the same level of success, Astin became well-known for playing a guest star on many shows, including ‘Dennis the Menace’ and ‘Harrigan and Son.’

There’s something about his wide-eyed charm and the crooked smile that one can’t help but love. Perhaps, that’s why he was also seen in ‘The New Addams Family’ as Grandpapa Addams. The talented star even taught acting at his alma mater, John Hopkins. We can’t think of a better inspiration for young actors!

Tim Curry – Age 74

Tim Curry sent shivers down our spines with his roles in ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ and the ‘IT’ miniseries. He is one of those talented actors who made it big on-screen and also enthralled the audience on Broadway.

What is truly remarkable about Curry is how he bounced back after suffering from a stroke. The English star started to lend his voice for many characters and earned plenty of critical acclaim in the process. He is still in demand for his modulation and even has a lifetime achievement award to his name. There’s no stopping the force that is Tim Curry!

Linda Kozlowski – Age 62

The former actress is now a prosperous and well-established realtor! Linda Kozlowski invests her hefty alimony in properties across the country, a move that pays off handsomely in millions. She now enjoys a relaxed life on the shores of Venice Beach with her only son.

After going to the prestigious Julliard School, it was apparent that Linda’s heart was set on acting, and she definitely managed to make a successful career out of it! The Golden Globe Award nominee is best known for ‘Crocodile Dundee’ and was last seen on the screen in 2001 before retiring.

Linda Evans – Age 77

Who can forget Linda Evans’ portrayal of Krystle Carrington in the hit show ‘Dynasty?’ She certainly made her mark as a beautiful and talented actress and quickly became a fan favorite. Unfortunately, the star quit the series before its last season to reflect on life and get away from the spotlight.

Linda then started a chain of health clubs and gyms, and even though she’s now in her 70s, fitness still remains a priority. After winning ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ and publishing her book ‘Recipes for Life – My Memories,’ the leading lady is living a quiet life on a secluded farm in Washington. It sounds perfect like the perfect retirement home!

Nancy Sinatra – Age 80

The oldest daughter of the legendary singer, Frank Sinatra, made him proud by following in his footsteps. Even at the age of 80, Nancy is active on the music scene and can be seen belting out hits! In 2013, she also released an album called ‘Shifting Gears.’

Her iconic songs are still featured in commercials and series to lend a vintage vibe. Initially, Sinatra gained recognition only in Japan and Europe. But, things quickly changed when her single ‘These Boots are Made for Walkin’ topped charts in the US and cemented her place as a successful artist.

Ian McDiarmid – Age 75

Even after reaching the age of 75, Ian is still going strong and keeps us entertained by reprising his most famous role in the ‘Star Wars Universe’ as Palpatine. The actor is also an established theater performer and has been rewarded with a Gold Medal for his invaluable contribution to cinema.

The lights and life of the stage mesmerized him since the age of five. It was then that McDiarmid decided to be in the entertainment business. His most recent works have been in the series ‘Britannia’ and ‘The Lost City of Z.’

Loretta Lynn – Age 88

One of the most celebrated country artists, Loretta Lynn, has continued her musical journey despite some health issues. She has not let age deter her, and her album releases still break records! We’re not complaining because we’d give anything to keep listening to the singer’s tunes.

Lynn has always been the queen of singing what’s on her mind, and she doesn’t mince words. The artist has created a legacy for herself that will not pipe down anytime soon. She splits her time between relaxing with grandkids and being on the road to perform in concerts.

Chevy Chase – Age 76

The comedian was one of the founding members of the hugely successful skit show ‘SNL.’ Chevy is a renowned performer with multiple prestigious awards won as part of his impressive (and lengthy!) bio. He briefly ducked out of the limelight and moved to a quaint town to raise his four children and spend more time with them.

The actor’s stint on the series ‘Community’ received critical acclaim, and since then, he has also starred in many independent films. Chase also had some health-related problems, but he championed over them and is now roaring for a comeback!

Luciana Paluzzi – Age 83

She may have gained widespread recognition and fame after starring in the James Bond flick ‘Thunderbird,’ but Luciana Paluzzi was already a star in her own right. Before she stepped into Hollywood, Paluzzi was a celebrated actress in Italy, her birthplace. The beauty went on to feature in many series and films before retiring in 1978.

We still spot her walking on red carpets here and there, looking as confident as ever! Luciana is now relaxing with her husband and son while splitting time between Rome and New York to be close to family.

Jerry Mathers – Age 72

We cannot believe that it’s been more than sixty years since ‘Leave It to Beaver’ released, and Jerry, who played cute little Theodore has crossed the age of 70! The role forever changed his life, and even though he didn’t pursue a career in acting, he will always be known as ‘The Beaver.’

In 1963, after the show ended, Mathers had a brief run at the United States Air Force Reserve. He then graduated and became a blue-chip banker! The star is also an outspoken advocate for diabetes. As for his acting, he still likes to make an appearance here and there to reprise his previous roles.

Tippi Hedren – Age 90

One of the last legendary names from the cinema still with us today, Tippi Hedren, was one of the most alluring faces on the silver screen in the ’60s. She was already a successful model featured on several influential fashion magazine covers before Hollywood came calling.

Perhaps most well-known for playing leading roles in two of Hitchcock’s greatest movies, she went on to star in various high-profile projects, including Charlie Chaplin’s last film. Though Tippi has long retired from acting, she has been a devoted animal rights advocate for several decades now and spends a great deal of time at the Wildlife Habitat Preserve that she supports.

Gloria Henry – Age 97

Gloria Henry’s last appearance on the big screen was in the 2005 romantic comedy ‘Her Minor Thing,’ and she retired from acting just a few years after. Now in the golden years of her life, Gloria prefers to spend time with her three children and attend Hollywood nostalgia events.

We may love and remember her as Alice Mitchell on ‘Dennis the Menace,’ but Gloria’s acting career spans decades. She played leading roles in numerous successful western, crime drama movies in the ’40s and ’50s. From there, she went on to play a string of characters on television, always delivering sincere and memorable performances.

Cara Williams – Age 95

The daughter of Romanian-Jewish immigrants, Cara Williams, is nothing short of a miraculous Hollywood success story. She was working in radio when she signed her first film contract at the age of 16 and immediately began appearing in a multitude of small parts that grew with time.

Cara shared the screen with several of the world’s most famous and beloved stars during her acting career. She repeatedly managed to select films and television projects for herself that attracted significant award buzz. Nominated for numerous prestigious awards, including Emmys and Oscars, Cara now retired, lives a quiet and idyllic life with her husband in Los Angeles.

Marilyn Knowlden – Age 94

Though Marilyn Knowlden retired from acting while still in her childhood, her work has left an indelible legacy in film. She went on to carve a name for herself as a musician, songwriter, and playwright. Said to be one of Hollywood’s last remaining celebrities from the ’30s to be still alive, she currently lives a quiet life in California.

Marilyn was already winning beauty pageants and being molded into a future star when she was just three years old. During her time as a child actress in Hollywood, she consecutively landed several high-profile jobs performing with some of the industry’s most celebrated names in her day, including Katherine Hepburn and Claudette Colbert.
