Janis Paige – 100

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!

Mel Brooks – 97

Mel Brooks is one of those exceptional talents who can proudly say they are an EGOT: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winners. The actor started off as a comedian, with his black observational humor capturing the hearts of many.

One of his most famous works is The Producers, an incredibly popular Tony-winning Broadway musical. With his $100 million fortune, the actor probably has a decent lifestyle in retirement after all that hard work! He can be proud of his work and his son has also become an actor and a writer. Talent clearly runs in the family.

Clint Eastwood – 93

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.

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.

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!

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.

Christopher Walken – 80

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!

Robert Fuller – 90

Successful horse rancher Robert Fuller will always have a place in the acting world in the archives of the shows in which he was cast in. He was a noteworthy television star back in the day, featured prominently in shows like Emergency! in which he played Dr. Kelly Brackett.

He was more of a hit on television than in movies, although he put in a great performance for Maverick in 1994. A decade and a half ago, he found something else that he wanted to enjoy doing for the rest of his life. He pulled up stumps, changed courses, and is now loving life with his wife and horses.

BILLY DEE WILLIAMS – 86

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.

Kim Novak – 90

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.

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.

Bill Cobbs  – 89

Bill Cobbs is an American actor popular for his acting in movies like Night at the Museum, Air Bud, and Oz the Great and Powerful. Cobbs began acting at the age of 36, and success didn’t come easy to him. After relocating to New York, he worked as a cab driver, toy salesman, and did other odd jobs before he got his break with Ride a Black Horse. Today, Cobbs is 85 years of age. Although he isn’t as active in his career, he hasn’t officially retired yet. His last appearance was in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, in 2014.

Tim Matheson – 75

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.

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.

Ann-Margret – 82

Ann-Margret, just like Van Dyke, conquered many hearts with her work in musical films. Her gorgeous Swedish looks immediately catapulted her to global stardom as she appeared in Bye Bye Birdie and Viva Las Vegas. The actress is the proud owner of no less than 5 Golden Globes, as well as having a successful music career and a $20 million net worth. She recorded many songs and albums, ranging from musicals to gospel songs. The beauty is also known for having an affair with the one and only King of Rock ’n Roll, Elvis Presley.

Linda Evans – 80

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!

Victoria Principal – 73

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.

Cassandra Peterson – 71 – 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.

Jane Powell – 92

Jane Powell was a local star in her native Portland before she decided to aim big and move to Hollywood. She succeeded and quickly starred in in Hollywood musicals opposite Fred Astaire and Elizabeth Taylor. Some examples of her work are Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Royal Wedding, and Hit the Deck. Powell then returned to live performances in the theater, and she still plays a role in her community theater now. Clearly, she isn’t one for retirement planning!
