Celebrities You Thought Are Long Gone But They Are Still Alive & Kicking!
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.
Richard Chamberlain – 90

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.
Ann-Margret – 83

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 – 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!
Mel Brooks – 94
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.
Terry Moore – 92
Terry Moore started out on the radio before moving on to the silver screen. Her tomboyish looks made her stand apart from other actresses and she starred in many films during the ’50s. Sadly she faced a lot of controversy after a rocky relationship with Howard Hughes, which ended in a public court case.
It was solved with both sides settling, which meant a huge figure added to Moore’s fortune. Yet, turning a profit isn’t everything, as the actress sadly lost her husband in 2001. In 2018, she appeared in the film Saving Flora, and she’s got more projects coming up in 2019 and 2020.
John Astin – 94
John Astin is responsible for giving us two amazing Hollywood characters. He gave us the quintessential blueprint for the Addams Family character Gomez Addams, which would be later mastered by the late Raul Julia. The other was raising Sean Astin right so that he could play Samwise Gamgee in The Lord Of The Rings with aplomb.
Astin played Gomez in the original Addams Family series from the ’60s, and also voiced the character in the early ’90s animated series. He was famous for more than that, starring in s string of films including the 1961 West Side Story and the 1976 rendition of Freaky Friday.
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!
Jane Fonda – 83

80 years old Jane Fonda is a 2 times Oscar winning actress, social activist and former model and fitness guru. She won her Academy Awards for her roles in the movies Klute (1971) and Coming Home (1978). Even today she’s still very active and isn’t planning to rest anytime soon. She participated in the 2018 movie Book Club, she lent her voice to Disney’s animated series Elena of Avalor and stars in Netflix’ TV show Grace and Frankie since 2015. Jane has extremely famous relatives who are also actors (although no one as famous as her) – her father is Henry Fonda, her brother is Peter Fonda and her sister is Bridget Fonda.
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?
Jon Voight – 83
After a series of supporting roles, Jon Voight landed the project that established him as a Hollywood icon. His performance as Joe Buck in the 1969 film “Midnight Cowboy” earned an Academy Award nomination. This led him to star in more critically acclaimed films such as “Deliverance” and “The Champ.”

Among his long list of accolades are four Golden Globe Awards and one Academy Award. His contribution to the industry was awarded the 2019 National Medal of Arts. Still appearing onscreen, he acted in the 2022 television film “Ray Donovan: The Movie.” Voight is also known as the father of Hollywood artists James Haven and Angelina Jolie.

Robert Duvall – 90

Getting nominated and winning awards is something that Robert Duvall is very used to already. Duvall’s acting career has been bringing him a ton of earnings for more than six decades. Some of his best performances were in movies like Tender Mercies, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now. For Duvall’s performance in Tender Mercies, he was able to win an Academy Award for Best Actor. He also has a total of four Golden Globe awards under his name. Duvall’s most recent role is his portrayal in the 2018 heist film, Widows.
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.
Richard Dean Anderson – 71

Richard Dean Anderson has been getting his earnings through acting and producing for three decades. He began appearing in TV in 1976 through the drama, General Hospital. His breakthrough came after landing a role in the series MacGyver, then he did films such as Through the Eyes of a Killer, Firehouse, and Pandora’s Clock. Later, he had TV roles like that of the lead of Stargate SG-1 but soon left the show in 2005 to spend more time with his daughter. He is now 68 and looks incredibly different from his younger years; he lost the iconic ’80s mullet and shades. According to Anderson, he refuses to become a part of the 2016 MacGyver reboot.
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.
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.
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.
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.
