Celebrities You Thought Are Long Gone But They Are Still Alive & Kicking!
Kim Novak – 91
Kim Novak had a great career in Hollywood. The actress started working for Columbia Pictures in 1954 and appeared in films with many huge names of the era. She may be most famous for her work in Hitchcock’s Vertigo but performed in many other films too. Novak took a break from acting to focus on her visual art and her ranch.
She sadly fell during horse riding and hurt herself pretty badly, hopefully leading to her being more cautious in case anything like that happened again. After recovering, she continued working on her art and poetry in the quiet atmosphere of her own home, enjoying her $15 million fortune.

Victoria Principal – 71
Victoria Principal wouldn’t have been the celebrity she is today if it weren’t for the role of Pamela Barnes Ewing, which she played in the soap opera Dallas for nine years until 1987. Fueled by the passion for keeping her youthful and glowing skin, she built a skincare brand called Principal Secret. It’s a booming business that has undoubtedly contributed to her $350-million fortune.

The two-time Golden Globe Award nominee is serious about her philanthropic endeavors and even developed a Los Angeles ranch for rescuing and rehabilitating animals. Principal is also part of Victory over Violence, an organization helping victims of domestic violence in America.
Michael York – 79
The English actor Michael York started his career in 1964, and he’s still giving it everything he has. While his acting career peaked during the ’70s, he remained a vital showbiz performer for the following decades, making it to movies such as Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and One Hell of a Guy.

Unbelievably enough, York’s filmography features appearances in over 16o productions, making him one of the busiest actors. Most recently, York’s been shining as a voice actor, appearing in animated series such as The Simpsons and Family Guy and multiple video games.
Rebecca De Mornay – 61

Movies like Risky Business and Runaway Train can make a person understand why Rebecca De Mornay was such a big deal back then. During the ‘80s, not only did she gain recognition for her talent, but also her stunning looks. Rebecca might not be as incredibly busy as she once was, but that does not mean that she hasn’t been undertaking new projects. As it just so happens, Rebecca is now playing in the Jessica Jones series on the role of Dorothy Walker. Through it all, she’s earned herself a $9 million fortune.
Clint Eastwood – 94
Since going under the international spotlight as the “Man with No Name” on the Dollars Trilogy, Clint Eastwood has seen nothing but success (in his career). During his career spanning over six decades, Eastwood earned a lot of praise for his work in the Dirty Harry films, Million Dollar Baby, and Unforgiven, among others.

Despite having made a fortune of $375 million, Eastwood doesn’t look like he is ready to retire even though he is now 91 years old. At this point, he must be doing it for pure passion. Eastwood is scheduled to appear as Miko in Cry Macho, a film he produced and directed later in 2021.

Elisabeth Shue – 57
From Karate Kid to Back to the Future II and III, in the ’80s, Elisabeth Shue was always someone’s on-screen girlfriend. But being a daring and versatile actress, she did what it took to break that mold. So she decided to play someone’s escort lover in the film Leaving Las Vegas.

The role earned her a Golden Globe and Oscar nomination, and she also started earning more complex roles in films like The Saint and Hollow Man.

He also directed a TV series of his own after having acquired the rights to use the name of a song as the title, thus creating a new model of TV series name-giving! He also ventured in the gambling business yet he found many obstacles that, as of 2017, withhold the realization of his business plans.

Throughout the show, Eden portrayed multiple characters, wowing audiences with her versatility.
