In 2018, game master Hideo Kojima tapped Wagner to voice a character in a game he developed titled Death Stranding, the first since he departed from Konami.

The 71-year-old was last seen in the TV show Bones, where he played Max Keenan from 2006 to 2017. Although O’Neal has decided to lay low nowadays, he virtually reunited with his Love Story on-screen partner Ali McGraw in February 2021, five decades after their film hit the big screens.

Jaclyn Smith – 75

While she first dreamed of becoming a dancer, destiny had other plans for Jaclyn Smith, who was discovered by an agent in New York. Before she knew it, she was bagging roles in the early ’70s, but it wasn’t until 1976 when she would be catapulted to stardom.

The Houston, Texas-native played the iconic Kelly Garrett in Charlie’s Angels for five years, becoming the only original lead star to finish the show’s run. She appeared in numerous series like The District and Hope & Faith. Smith has also earned friends in her time in Hollywood, including Jane Seymour, with whom she had a reunion in March 2021.

Tommy Cook – 87

Tommy Cook was a charming young boy who starred in a few films from an early age. His vocal chops led to him securing parts in radio serials as well as doing voice work for various animated series. You may recognize him as the voice of Kid Flash in The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. He retired from acting in the ’80s, but by then had built up enough of a credit score to always be able to afford anything he might need.

Tina Louise – 85

Tina Louise is one of the two surviving members of the iconic comedy TV show, Gilligan’s Island. Her character, Ginger, was an icon of the era. However, Tina feared that she would be typecast, which might be the reason why she never appeared in any of the revivals. She proceeded to participate in different movies and TV shows, including The Stepford Wives and Dallas. She has dedicated most of her time to one of the causes close to her heart, which is advocating for child literacy. She has written two children’s books and arranged for part of the book sales to benefit organizations that work in promoting children’s literacy.

Katharine Ross – 79

Katharine is now 79 years old and still has an active career as an actress not giving any thought to retirement yet.

Andrew Dunn – 63

You may know Andrew Dunn best as the world-weary canteen manager Tony in the British comedy series Dinnerlaadies. In real life, though, it seems like he couldn’t be more different from his former on-screen persona. Even now that he’s in his 60s, Dunn has a certain zest for life and excitement for his work.

Achieving his childhood dream of being an actor, he doesn’t seem to have retirement on his mind yet. In 2020, he starred in the horror-comedy movie Zomblogalypse, the film adaptation of the cult web series of the same name.

Shobna Gulati – 54

Shobna Gulati is an actress by trade. But in 2021, she showed off a different set of skills as she competed against other entertainers in Celebrity Best Home Cook. Whether or not she wins the competition, she’s already left her mark on British audiences with her long and varied career on television.

Gulati is best known for her 12-year stint playing the character Sunita Parekh on the ITV soap opera Coronation Street. You’ve probably also seen her in other popular shows like Doctor Who and River City in the years after she left Corrie.

Julie Goodyear – 79

Sue Devaney – 54

Returning Coronation Street star Sue Devaney is proof that addiction is something that can be combated with compassion. After fighting her own demons, she’s now determined to help others do the same, beginning with fighting homelessness, especially in Manchester.

Devaney is bound to balance this mission with her busy work schedule. Word on the street is that she signed a contract that would see her appear on the soap until April 2022. This latest stint in the cobbles comes decades after her first appearance in the show in the ‘80s.

William Daniels – 94

Anyone who’s lived through the ‘70s and ‘80s probably instantly gets nostalgic upon seeing William Daniels’ face. Though he’s not acting as much nowadays, he once used to be one of the most active TV actors out there! He even served as the 25th President of the Screen Actors Guild until 2001.

Of course, he had accomplished a jealous-worthy career by then, playing on shows like The Nancy Walker Show, Boy Meets World, and even St. Elsewhere. Daniels is 94 now, worth approximately $5 million. He’s going to be taking part in a documentary called SEGAL as per his IMDb page.

Smith’s remembered for movies like Robocop, where he also happened to meet his wife, Joan Pirkle, and series like That ‘70s Show and, as of recently, The Ranch.

Ed Begley Jr. – 71

As of 2019, Ed Begley Jr. has been portraying Dr. Linkletter on Young Sheldon. That hardly even begins to scratch the surface of his long-lasting career as an actor, though. He’s 71 years old at the moment, worth around $5 million, and has been acting since the late ‘60s!

Ed was born in California in 1949. He still lives there today, according to the New York Times, in Studio City. He lives there with his wife, Rachelle Carsen. For as long as he’s been acting, Ed has had the chance of playing in shows like Room 22 and movies like Pineapple Express and A Mighty Wind.

Eric Laneuville – 69

The first time we saw Eric Laneuville on TV was in an episode of CBS Playhouse in 1968. He was born in New Orleans in 1952, meaning that he wasn’t even an adult at the time! Nevertheless, he soon enough found himself playing on Room 222 and St. Elsewhere.

While portraying Luther Hawkins, he got the chance to also direct some episodes of St. Elsewhere. In doing so, he clearly developed a fascination for it. He may not have acted since 2014 on a Blue Bloods episode, but he has instead been directing the series, as well as Chicago Fire!

Donna Martell – 93

Donna Martell kicked off her acting career in the ’40s with the western classic Apache Rose. She worked for Universal for several years before turning her attention to television.

This multi-talented man is still known as one of the best golden age artists.

Conrad Janis – 93

Conrad Janis was born into a creative family, so it was only natural he went into the arts as well. Janis appeared in classic motion pictures such as The Brasher Doubloon, before venturing into television. He starred in The Golden Girls, The Buddy Holly Story, and Mork & Mindy. Later he focused on his career as a jazz trombonist.

Technically she is enjoying her retirement, but sometimes she makes an exception for a project she really likes and we are more than grateful for that.

Ann Blyth – 92

Gorgeous Ann Marie Blyth wowed Broadway audiences with her voice and acting chops before being hired by Universal. She appeared in musicals until Warner Brothers cast her in a more serious role in Mildred Pierce. It went so well that a whole new range of opportunities opened for Blyth. Her career continued to be highly successful, both on screen and on stage. After marriage, she spent more time with her family but didn’t retire until 1985.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Richard Chamberlain – 87

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.

Jack Nicholson – 84

Now that the new Joker movie is about to be released, one can’t help but remember Jack Nicholson’s epic take on the same character back in the ’80s. With his extraordinary career, Jack’s performances are still remembered and emulated. However, it seems like he’s been enjoying downtime for quite some time now since the last movie he acted in was way back in 2010. To be fair, he has already made a $400 million fortune, so he might as well never work again and still have enough money to get by. He was supposed to star in the 2018 movie called How Do You Know, but he reportedly dropped out of the project.
