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.

Chamberlain has been openly gay since 2003 and currently has a net worth of $20 million.
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.

Cassandra Peterson – 70
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.
Jane Birkin – 74
Most folks have no idea that the highly sought-after Hermès bag is named after the ever-beautiful Jane Birkin. The now 74-year-old star became an international name because of her decade-long musical partnership with Serge Gainsbourg, also her romantic partner.

It’s been about two decades since she got diagnosed with leukemia, which is now in remission but still causes recurring health concerns for the star. Despite this, Birkin surprised everyone in late 2020 when she came out with her first collection of original songs in over a decade. The album is called Oh! Pardon Tu Dormais.

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?
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.
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.
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.
