Celebrities You Thought Are Long Gone But They Are Still Alive & Kicking!
Carol Burnett – 88
There’s practically no field where Carol Burnett hasn’t achieved success in the entertainment industry. That’s why she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005. Burnett originally became famous as a Broadway actress. She earned critical acclaim and her first big paychecks after her appearance on Once Upon A Mattress in 1959.
When it comes to television, everybody remembers her from her time as a host in The Carol Burnett Show which featured comedy sketches, music performances, and other projects. Burnett has also written numerous memoirs about her life, with one of them earning her a Grammy.
Leigh Taylor-Young – 76
Leigh Taylor-Young hadn’t been acting for long before her big break came. She became a part of the already established TV show adaptation Peyton Place, where she met Ryan O’Neil, who would later become her husband. They were married for six years and had a son together, Patrick. Leigh’s career was affected by the birth of her child, as she would stay out of the spotlight for long periods in order to give more attention to her baby. However, she made it back to the industry in TV shows like Picket Fences, a role that earned her an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe nomination.
