Celebrities You Thought Are Long Gone But They Are Still Alive & Kicking!
Linda Evans – 81
The last time we saw Linda Evans performing was back in 1997 when she played in The Stepsister film. Since then, the only news we’ve gotten from her was her arrest for a DUI incident in 2014, when she was caught driving under the influence of her prescription pills.
We were glad not only to hear about her comeback with Swan Song in 2020 but also to see her looking as amazing as she does. Many years have gone by since she was playing in Dynasty, but it seems as though time has treated her well!
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.
Dick Van Dyke – 98

Who doesn’t remember the lovable Dick Van Dyke in the famous Mary Poppins film? The multi-talented performer ruled musical films in his time with appearances in Bye Bye Birdie and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He is widely recognized by Brits for doing the worst English accent around, but they do love him for it too! Though he danced and sung his way to become an official Disney Legend, he did face some dangers too. At 87 he was saved from his car, which moments later was engulfed in flames. We hope he did some serious thinking with regards to car accidents and bought a safer car. He can definitely afford it with a $30 million net worth!
Lee Majors – 82
From The Big Valley to The Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy, it’s evident that Lee Majors is an expert at taking on successful TV shows. He’s been acting since the early ‘60s, and now that he’s in his 80s, he’s still at it!

Within 2021, Majors played on the film Narco Sub while also working on a new movie called Spring Break ’83! With all his hard work, we’re not surprised that sources estimate his net worth at around $15 million. He’s been married to Faith Noelle Cross, his fourth wife, since 2002.
Richard Chamberlain – 87

Richard Chamberlain was a teen idol from the 1960s thanks to the role he had in the series, Dr. Kildare. He also takes credit for being the first actor in Hollywood who was able to give life to the role of Jason Bourne. He has also pursued a Broadway career and appeared in productions like Scrooge: The Musical, Spamalot, and The Heiress. Chamberlain has been openly gay since 2003 and currently has a net worth of $20 million.
BILLY DEE WILLIAMS – 84
In show business, you don’t get anything without talent and hard work. But it’s fair to say that Billy Dee Williams hit the mother lode when he was cast to play Lando Calrissian in the hugely popular Star Wars film series. The sci-fi franchise keeps Williams active today: in the last five years alone, he’s appeared in a Star Wars movie, a Lego Star Wars TV series, and two Star Wars-inspired video games!

Next year, Williams will appear in another animation show, and yes, it’s also part of the Star Wars franchise… Still making the big bucks at 84, Williams has a net worth of $9 million.
Bob Newhart – 91

Bob Newhart is the American king of deadpan comedy. His stand-up routines made him wildly popular with TV audiences and Newhart became America’s favorite comedian. His comedy albums were number one and two on the Billboard charts, selling extremely well to American audiences. He also had two sitcoms and performed in front of audiences worldwide, leading to a $65 million net worth. Sadly, he suffered from his health as his life-long smoking habit caught up with him. He gave up smoking, took a seniors health insurance specialist by the hand and made sure he was covered in the future.
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.
Eva Marie Saint – 99
Eva Marie Saint’s career has been an incredible journey. She has been in the business for 7 decades, achieving success after success and creating a $20 million fortune. Saint started out in television and quickly moved to big leading roles starring opposite Marlon Brando in On The Waterfront.

Though Hitchcock’s North By Northwest launched her into huge fame, she always remained humble. The actress always chose roles because she found them interesting, rather than focusing on money. She also never needed any divorce attorneys, as she was married to her husband for 65 years. What a true romance!
June Lockhart – 98

June Lockhart is another American actress who was very big in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Her most famous performances are in television series Lassie and Lost in Space. She has also appeared on Broadway, winning a Tony Award for her performance. Lockhart’s talents were recognized with not one, but two stars on the famous Hollywood Boulevard. Sadly, she did need a divorce attorney twice in her life, but she still has a net worth of $10 million. She keeps herself busy with interesting projects, like video games and guest appearances.
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. She has also managed to maintain her youth, and while she doesn’t share any tips and secrets, she has been flaunting it in films like The Boys and Greyhound with Tom Hanks.
Cassandra Peterson – 70 – Healthy Diet & Weightlifting
Elvira whose real name is Cassandra Peterson became an instant hit within the first two weeks because of her eccentric yet exotic look. She auditioned for many roles back in the day at the start of her career including Gilligan’s Island as the Ginger Giant.

But, she eventually rose to prominence by writing, producing & starring in her own film Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. The secret behind her timeless beauty is tons of exercise including weightlifting & walking. She also maintains herself by following a strict diet mainly vegetarian & voila it has worked wonders for her.
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.
Bo Derek – 64
A couple of years after John Derek divorced his first wife, Linda Evans, he tied the knot to the then-model and soon-to-be actress, Bo Derek in 1976. Together, their careers reached great heights. They collaborated in the making of films like Tarzan, the Ape Man and Ghosts Can’t Do It.

Since John passed away in 1998, Bo got together with John Corbett. Although she hasn’t been acting as much as she once did, in 2020 she played in JL Family Ranch 2. She is 63 years old and looks at least a decade younger!
Jeri Ryan – 53
Jeri Ryan became a well-known actress for her role in the Star Trek: Voyager. Her portrayal earned her four nominations for a Saturn Award, successfully winning in 2001. She is also famous for portraying the role of Veronica “Ronnie” Cooke in the TV series Boston Public.

In 1991, she and her first husband, Jack Ryan, got married but filed for a divorce eight years after. She eventually got married to chef Christophe Émé in France back in 2007. Now, they have a daughter named Gisele Émé. Recently, she appeared in the Amazon Prime series Bosch.
Barbara Eden – 89

Barbara Eden gained success in Hollywood with her undeniable charm and talent. She signed a contract with Century Fox at a young age and the rest is movie history. Eden’s role as the beautiful genie out of the bottle in I Dream of Jeannie made her one of television’s best-loved characters. Throughout the show, Eden portrayed multiple characters, wowing audiences with her versatility. The actress wrote a memoir about her rise to fame and her life in Hollywood, which reached the top 15 in best-selling lists. We can’t help but wonder if this feisty genie keeps her net worth of $10 million in a magical golden chest or has simply updated to an online savings account?
Sharon Stone – 63
Aging hardly seems to be an issue to the celebrated American actress/producer Sharon Stone. A brilliant performer who’s never afraid of showing her steamier side on camera, Stone rose to worldwide fame after delivering a striking performance in the early ’90s neo-noir thriller Basic Instinct.

From that point on, it became clear that she was more than a talented actress: she was bound to become one of the most prized, respected, and well-paid Hollywood superstars. Still active today, Stone will have a hectic year in 2021, as she’s set to appear in the movies Here Today and Beauty.
Heather Thomas – 63
Speaking of The Fall Guy, we couldn’t have forgotten about Heather Thomas. After all, she was the person who portrayed Jody Banks for such a long time in the series. Nowadays, it looks as though she’s retired since she hadn’t acted since 2014 when she made a brief comeback playing on Girltrash: All Night Long.

Nevertheless, it’s estimated that she’s worth around $2 million at the moment. She stopped acting after playing on My Giant in the late ‘90s. Since 1992, Thomas has been sharing her life with Skip Brittenham, her second husband with whom she’s had a daughter named India Rose.
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.
Loni Anderson – Age 75

Well-remembered for playing Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati during the late ’70s to early ’80s, Loni Anderson is definitely an American bombshell! She copped three Golden Globe Awards and an Emmy nomination for the role she took under the condition that the character was sensitive and bright. But a multiple sclerosis diagnosis for her eldest daughter caused Loni’s disappearance from acting for some time. Recently, she was seen portraying Frances in her web series My Sister Is So Gay. In 2018, she went on to promote the WKRP in Cincinnati series, along with other classic TV series on MeTV.
Ali MacGraw, 82 Years Old
Ali MacGraw has participated in many movies, but one film that will forever be associated with her is the 1970s’ Love Story, where she co-starred with Ryan O’Neal. Love Story is one of the greatest romantic films of all time.

MacGraw, who was one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People, always embraced her age and she is, with no doubt, an actress who’s aging gracefully. Her career lasted from 1960 to 2009 and she has one child. Ali was married three times, and one of her spouses was the legendary Steve McQueen, to whom Ali was married from 1973 to 1978.
Nancy Sinatra – 80

American singer and actress Nancy Sinatra is the daughter of music icon Frank Sinatra and Nancy Barbato. Nancy became widely known in the ’60s when she followed the footsteps of her famous father and started her own music career. She found great success with her international hit These Boots Are Made For Walkin’. Nancy also dabbled in acting and has participated in films like The Oscar and The Last of the Secret Agents. But probably her most famous acting stint was the one where she shared the screen with Elvis Presley in the 1968 film Speedway. Nancy is still active in the music scene and last released a digital-only album called Shifting Gears in 2013.
Connie Stevens – 83
The Hawaiian Eye TV series and songs like Sixteen Reasons have forever marked Connie Stevens’ career. She started as an extra in films, only to become the legend she is known to be today. Connie is now 81 years old, and for a person that has lived such a full life, she is still surprisingly active. In 2019, she acted in the film called By the Rivers of Babylon. Some of Connie’s other famous projects were Grease 2 and Starting from Scratch in the ‘80s.
Richard Simmons – 73

Richard Simmons has successfully made a name for himself as a fitness instructor since the ’60s. He released the Sweatin’ to the Oldies videos which mainly focus on weight loss through a very energetic approach. Simons started out his career through a gym he opened and called Slimmons. Since then, through his appearances in television and his products, he became well-known around the U.S. and getting great paychecks. However, since 2014, his appearance in public began declining and his facility had closed down without stating any reason. In April 2017, he revealed he was suffering from severe indigestion which led to his hospitalization.
RUTH BUZZI – 85
Ruth Buzzi, a famous American actress, singer, and comedian, is getting ready for Halloween in 2021, as she appeared on Twitter in a Triceratops onesie! She is full of jokes, and in 2021 got angry with beer for having the arrogance to believe it can make everyone happy.

Her groundwork in comedy was laid in her performances in the “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In” comedy-variety show. From that show, she received five Emmy nominations and won a Golden Globe Award. Though she is removed from the spotlight, we can still enjoy her excellent sense of humor.
Kate Jackson – 72
Even though Kate Jackson hasn’t appeared on camera since the 2009 documentary Farrah’s Story, she’s still very much out there in her own way. In fact, she’s been teasing us with the release of her memoir for the past decade. Kate was born in Alabama in 1948, which means that she’s now 72 years old.
She spent the ‘70s through the ‘90s being right under the spotlight, playing in series like Charlie’s Angels as Sabrina Duncan and movies like Making Love and Error in Judgement. The last time she ever acted was for a Criminal Minds episode in 2007.
Caren Marsh-Doll – 104

Caren Marsh-Doll started working as a dancer from a young age. Her resemblance to Judy Garland landed her the part of dance double in The Wizard of Oz and Ziegfeld Girl. For the former, she was gifted the famous ruby slippers to thank her for her hard work, for which she wouldn’t get a film credit. The actress continued working as a dancer and actor, but an airplane crash led to devastating results. Though she was covered by a good health insurance plan and managed to slowly get back into dancing, she focused on being an instructor instead.
Jacqueline White – 101

Jacqueline Jane White only had a short career as a lead actress, but she definitely left her mark. As a UCLA student, she was spotted in a play and the rest is history. She’s known for showing off her talent and gorgeous looks in The Narrow Margin, as well as many other MGM and RKO films. With 5 children and many grandchildren to spend time with, her retirement investment is definitely paying off.
Janis Paige – 101

Janis Paige made a name for herself as a singer and actress. She rose to fame on Broadway, with Remains To Be Seen and The Pajama Game. Soon she was starring in films and television shows, leading to her very own star on the Walk of Fame. Yet it wasn’t always easy for her: she lost her voice for months due to bad vocal coaching, fearing she might never sing again. Her health insurance covered a good professional who coached her back to health. What a strong woman!
Paul Hogan – 84
In July 2021, Paul Hogan sadly had to say goodbye forever to his Crocodile Dundee collaborator, John Cornell, who passed away after 20 years of having Parkinson’s disease. Hogan himself is now 81 years old but was still able to take part in the 2020 movie The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee.

The Aussie star has already earned a Best Actor Golden Globe for playing the iconic outback adventurer Michael “Crocodile” Dundee in the Crocodile Dundee film of 1986, the first from the franchise. Hogan endeared audiences with his earnest, amiable, and down-to-earth personality, showcased in the movie series.
GEORGE HAMILTON – 84
You may know him for his hunky looks, for his legendary tan, or maybe for one or two of his impressive 123 acting appearances. Either way, you’ll probably find it amazing that George Hamilton is still active and looking good at the advanced age of 82. Known for The Godfather Part III, Zorro, The Gay Blade, Doc Hollywood, and many others, Hamilton even has a new project lined up for 2022.

Next year, this tireless film/TV icon will appear in the action flick All Terrain. It’ll be his first performance since 2019, the year he appeared in the American Housewife sitcom, portraying the character of Spencer Blitz.
Linda Evans – 81
The last time we saw Linda Evans performing was back in 1997 when she played in The Stepsister film. Since then, the only news we’ve gotten from her was her arrest for a DUI incident in 2014, when she was caught driving under the influence of her prescription pills.

We were glad not only to hear about her comeback with Swan Song in 2020 but also to see her looking as amazing as she does. Many years have gone by since she was playing in Dynasty, but it seems as though time has treated her well!
Christopher Walken – 90
Even at 78, Christopher Walken is still cool in our eyes, with his unique style of speech and his evident on-screen mystique. These have made his portfolio as impressive as it is today, starring in classics like Pulp Fiction and Sleepy Hollow and appearing in other projects like King of New York and A View to a Kill.

These days, Hollywood casting directors still adore Walken, and he has two TV shows on their way: Severance, a drama-thriller, and The Offenders, a comedy-crime flick. He is also a tenured stage actor, writing/starring in the 1995 production about his idol, Elvis Presley, titled Him.
Marla Gibbs – 92
Marla Gibbs is definitely a multitalented woman, who, during her five-decade career managed to become a successful actress, comedian, singer, writer, and producer. Gibbs is known for her role as Florence Johnston in The Jeffersons, for which she also received five nominations for Emmys. In 1981, she also starred in the show’s spin-off Checking In and the NBC sitcom, 227.

Gibbs was also the co-producer of the latter series while at the same time she also played the lead role and sang the theme song! Gibbs has won a total of seven NAACP Image Awards. Later in her career, Gibbs played supporting roles in films such as The Meteor Man, Lost & Found, The Visit, The Brothers, Madea’s Witness Protection, Grantham & Rose, and Lemon (2017). And after all that, she still shows no desire for retirement!
Max Baer Jr. – 85

If you were a fan of The Beverly Hillbillies then you definitely remember Max Baer Jr. as the goofy Jethro. Max Baer is currently 81 years old and even though he might have stuck in our memories as Jethro, acting was not his only thing! 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.
Annette O’Toole – 70
Comic book fans first got to know Annette O’Toole and her signature red hair color as Lana Lang in 1983’s Superman III. Then a new generation of viewers became familiar with her once again when she starred as Martha Kent, the adoptive mother of Clark Kent, in Smallville during the ’00s.

Over five decades into her career, O’Toole is still charming viewers. Her latest appearance is in the TV series Virgin River. She’s also ventured into other forms of performing. In 2021, she was cast to star in a Play-PerView reading of the play The Typists.
Tim Matheson – 73
Before he got cast as the irritable Doc Mullins on Virgin River, Tim Matheson was a young star who played the role of the smooth-talking Eric “Otter” Stratton in the funny flick National Lampoon’s Animal House. Eventually, the California-born celeb moved on to bigger and better projects.

Through NBC’s The West Wing, Matheson got to play real-life Vice President John Hoynes. He was so good at his portrayal that he received a Primetime Emmy Award twice. Now, we’re lucky to still see him in action, with one of his latest projects being the TV show This Is Us.
