Celebrities You Thought Are Long Gone But They Are Still Alive & Kicking!

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.

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.

Joan Collins – 87

She is known as one of the more remembered villains in television history for her role as Alexis Carrington in the long-running ’80s drama, Dynasty. Joanne Collins has been acting since a very early age, starting her career in the theater and transitioning to television later on. She won a Golden Globe for her work on Dynasty and continues to be considered an icon of the ’80s. Joanne has been more devoted to writing books in the last couple of decades, with best-seller titles such as the novel Prime Time and her memoirs, Past Imperfect. In 2019, she survived a fire that started in her London apartment and managed to get out unscathed.

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.

Sophia Loren – 86

There are no words to describe the legend that Sophia Loren is. Unfortunately, she is now one of the last surviving actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age. But even though she’s already 85 years old, she somehow still looks as glorious as she once did. Sophia was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in September 2019 by the European Culture Awards that was hosted in Vienna. Meanwhile, her films like Arabesque, Two Women, and Marriage Italian Style have always remained relevant. This living legend has managed to accumulate a $75-million fortune, which she can enjoy in her retirement.

Kim Novak – 88

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.

Richard Chamberlain – 87

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.

Tim Matheson – 73

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.

Clint Eastwood – 91

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.

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.

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 KillerFirehouse, 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.

Bob Newhart – 91

Bob Newhart is the American king of deadpan comedy. His stand-up routines made him wildly popular with TV audiences and Newhart became America’s favorite comedian. His comedy albums were number one and two on the Billboard charts, selling extremely well to American audiences. He also had two sitcoms and performed in front of audiences worldwide, leading to a $65 million net worth. Sadly, he suffered from his health as his life-long smoking habit caught up with him. He gave up smoking, took a seniors health insurance specialist by the hand and made sure he was covered in the future.
