A few years later, he also won the National League Most Valuable Player title (that too twice) and bagged 11 Gold Glove awards. The fact he got through the All-Star game 24 times speaks volumes about his forte.
The 89-year old legend has certainly made fortunes in his career and we believe he has a great credit score too. For now, he needs to pay special attention to his health.
Liv Ullmann - 1938
Norwegian actress and film director Liv Ullmann won the hearts of many when she starred in the movie The Emigrants back in 1971. Her performance there won her the Best Actress award at the Golden Globe Awards. She is also known for having memorable performances in films like Face to Face and Scenes from a Marriage. One of the many “muses” of Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, Ullmann was nominated for the Palme d’Or in 2000 for her directorial feature Faithless.
Ullmann hasn't acted since appearing on Two Lives back in 2012. But she did appear in a Swedish docu-series Bergman - ett liv ifyraakter (Bergman: A life in four acts) in 2018. She is enjoying a peaceful life these days with her husband Donald Saunders who's a real estate developer. Liv does not believe in cosmetic surgery and has aged gracefully.
Angie Dickinson - 1931
Beautiful American actress Angie Dickinson is considered to be an icon from the '50s. The performances she gave in Rio Bravo and Gun the Man Down are what made her popular. She received the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year for her stellar performance in the 1959 Western film Rio Bravo. Many of you might also remember her for starring in Dressed to Kill and Police Woman.
Time might have taken a toll on Dickinson but she still has the same charming smile she has always had. She doesn't have a busy schedule anymore because she hasn't acted since her 2009 appearance on Mending Fences. Although, she is set to appear in a new short documentary called Valerie. At 87, Angie Dickinson is fitter than most of her contemporaries thanks to the nutritional diet she follows strictly.
Robert Redford - 1936
Acclaimed actor and director Robert Redford has won numerous accolades over his 60-year career, including the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2002. As an actor, he is best known for his performances in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All The President's Men, and The Sting. In 2014, Time magazine declared him the “Godfather of Indie Film”, and he was honored in 2016 with a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Robert Redford not only found success with the numerous on-screen projects that he had but also managed to become an award-winning director. Ordinary People was the film he directed that won him the Best Director awards at the Academy and Golden Globe Awards. Redford has reportedly retired from acting but he will still be adding to his incredible net worth by working behind the scenes. He is currently producing a new documentary called Desert of the Real.
Catherine Deneuve - 1943
Still-gorgeous actress Catherine Deneuve had often worked with talented directors like Roman Polanski, François Truffaut, and Luis Buñuel. Some of the best performances she had in her whole career were in movies like Belle de Jour, The Last Metro, and Place Vendôme. Deneuve did not limit herself to just acting work for she also became an entrepreneur and released her own perfume line. She has also designed jewelry, footwear, glasses, and even greeting cards.
In 2019, Deneuve will be appearing in two new movies called The Truth and Happy Birthday. If sources are to be believed, Catherine has already amassed a net fortune of $75 million in her bank account and we believe the figure would come handy when she decides to take retirement from acting. The 76-year-old keeps herself busy by working round the clock and we are in awe of her energy.
Billy Dee Williams — 1938
William December "Billy Dee" Williams Jr. is an actor, artist, and voice actor who made his debut in the 1940s. He has since then been part of some of the most amazing movies ever made. Actor Billy Dee Williams will forever be famous among Star Wars fans as Lando Calrissian, a character that was first seen in The Empire Strikes Back when it was shown in 1980.
Nonetheless, the actor is also a musician, and has released a jazz LP back in 1961 entitled, Let's Misbehave; a renowned painter with his works displayed in different art galleries; and has starred in other films such as Mahogany, Brian's Song, and 1989's Batman. Williams is now 83 years, and he still continues to paint and act to this day. He was most recently seen in yet another installment of the Star Wars franchises the Star Wars: Episode IX.
Jane Fonda – 1937
Veteran actress Jane Seymour Fonda was initially reluctant to follow her father's legendary actor Henry Fonda's footsteps to Hollywood. Her life changed in 1954 when she met Lee Strasberg. Upon his recommendation, she stepped forward to join the Actors Studio, and there has been no turning back since then. She exhibited immense potential in her debut film Tall Story to make a mark for herself.
After that, she went on winning two Academy Awards for Klute and Coming Home. Blessed with flawless acting talent Jane delivered many Hollywood hits like They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Julia, The Morning After, The China Syndrome,, etc.
Aside from Oscar, the gorgeous actress has laid her hand into other prestigious awards like Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, Honorary Golden Lion, etc. The seven-time nominee of the Academy Award is still looking beautiful in her 80s without any surgery.
Tina Turner - 1939
Tina Turner first became known for being one half of the duo called Ike & Tina Turner Revue. By the '80s, she was focused on doing solo work and some of her most popular songs were What's Love Got to Do with It, Private Dancer, and Better Be Good to Me. Turner received an intestinal cancer diagnosis back in 2016 and just when she was about to give up, she was able to successfully undergo a kidney transplant back in April 2017.
The kidney came from her husband, Erwin Bach. A Broadway musical about her life Tina will open in the fall of 2019. This 80-year-old has maintained herself amazingly well and we guess, she has adopted an anti-aging technique that has bore excellent fruits for her. The 12-time Grammy Award winner is a legend in her own right and we all look up to her.
Jerry Mathers - 1948
During the late '70s, actor Jerry Mathers became quite popular for playing Beaver Cleaver in the show, Leave It to Beaver. Despite getting a good role at a young age, he later decided to take a break from acting and pursue his education. There was even a time when he was a part of the United States Air Force Reserve. Mathers went back to acting during the '80s and was known for starring in The New Leave It to Beaver.
His latest role was in a short film called Lucky Day back in 2015. He has yet to book a new project. Though he is suffering from Type 2 diabetes, Mathers hasn’t let the issue bog him down. Instead, he took up a weight loss program and has shed off 40 pounds. He is in great shape now and we wish him good health.
Leonard Whiting — 1950
Leonard Whiting has had a career that has had more breaks than anyone would imagine. He has gone on several sabbaticals but bounced back stronger every time he signed a movie or a television show. English actor and singer Leonard Whiting is perhaps most popular for his portrayal of Romeo in the 1968 movie version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet opposite Juliet, played by Olivia Hussey. He was so good with his acting that he received a Golden Globe Award for this role.
He again got a chance to reunite with Olivia after 46 years for a movie called Social Suicide which was his last credited role in 2015. Leonard now lives a quiet retired life in London. However, as people who loved his acting, it would be amazing to see him make a comeback and entertain us for a few more years.
Sharon Gless - 1943
Sharon Gless' role as Maggie Philbin in the detective series called Switch was what made her very popular during the '70s. She later got even more famous when she starred in Cagney & Lacey, The Trials of Rosie O'Neill, and Queer as Folk. Her husband is TV producer Barney Rosenzweig, the producer of Cagney & Lacey. They've been married since 1991. Although Gless already has millions in her bank account these days, it seems like she still plans to continue pursuing her craft.
She is set to star in an upcoming TV movie called Constance. Gless has been a constant in this industry since the year 1970 and it has been five decades of her career. She will be setting foot into her eighties three years from now, but her youthful charm doesn’t allow her to age at all. We wish we would get to see her like this forever.
Conrad Janis – 1928
Conrad Janis is an iconic actor who also gained fame for playing traditional jazz. He appeared in several films and made it big on TV with his 1978 role in Mork& Mindy. During the same decade, his jazz band also became hugely popular. His filmography comprises The Buddy Holly Story, The Happy Hooker, Nothing in Common, Mr. Saturday Night, among others.
After having heartbreaks in his previous two marriages, Janis found himself third time lucky when he found love in the form of Maria Grimm. The two walked down the aisle in the year 1987 and has stayed glued to each other since then. Conrad is now retired at 92 years of age, having quit his profession in the year 2012. However, he continues to live strongly as he never had any serious illness, owing to a disciplined lifestyle. We wish Janis a long life.
Tony Bennett - 1926
Anthony Dominick Benedetto, known to all as Tony Bennett is surely among the world's legendary musicians, but he also proved to be a brave man as well when he left the States to fight in WWII. Hit songs such as I Left My Heart in San Francisco are still featured on radio shows, and Bennett's mixture of traditional elements with modern jazz and pop made him a fan-favorite.
In 2018, he went back to the studio to re-record his popular tune Fascinating Rhythm. He did this at 94 years old! With his fortune of $200 million in his banks, paying his insurance companies is not a problem. Bennett got hitched to Susan Crow in the year 2007 and everything is fine between the two. The father of four is still quite active in the circuit and if his recent progress is taken into account, Bennett is all geared up to work for some more years.
Richard Chamberlain — 1934
Actor Richard Chamberlain's rise to fame was through the NBC TV show Dr. Kildare, where he played the lead role of Dr. James Kildare, a young intern at the Blair General Hospital. Chamberlain's success opened opportunities in theater, as well as films. Some of his most notable films are The Thorn Birds, King Solomon's Mines, and The Bourne Identity (years before Matt Damon played the movies lead Jason Bourne).
Chamberlain never hid the fact that he was gay, even starting a relationship with his Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold co-star, Martin Rabbett in 1977. But his being gay was revealed in 1989 in an article on the Nous Deux, a French magazine. The actor, in turn, admitted the fact that he's gay through his autobiography, Shattered Love, in 2003.
Dean Stockwell — 1936
Dean Stockwell may be well-known to fans of the television series Quantum Leap. But the actor has been actually acting since he was 7 years old. Robert Dean Stockwell is popular by his stage name Dean Stockwell. He is a famous television and movie actor who has been a part of the entertainment industry for over seven decades. Debuting as a child artist, he went on to make it to the big-ticket league and found success there.
He portrayed Gregory Peck’s son in the movie Gentleman’s Agreement. His last acting job was back in 2015, but we are pretty sure pension investments is not something that the actor thought of because he has accumulated decent savings in his bank account in his many years of acting. He is now 84 years old and has a net worth of $1.5 million dollars. With retirement not on the cards anytime soon, we are sure his wealth will increase immensely in the years ahead.
George Hamilton — 1939
The award-winning actor Goerge Hamilton was one of the highest-paid actors during his prime. Reports suggest that his fees were hooping $100,000 per movie at that period. No wonder he's still able to maintain his skin even at this age, without having any surgery.
He started his career in 1952, and his big break came when he cast Crime and Punishment USA in 1959. He caught the industry by storm, winning a Golden Globe for his debut performance. Aside from this, he starred in many hits, including Home From The Hill, The Godfather II, Love At First Bite, Hollywood Ending, The Congressman, etc.
His iconic suntan skin, coupled with the charming acting style, has put him in a special place in the industry. In 2016 he appeared in a KFC commercial, showing his fans that he still can do it in style.
Marcy McGuire - 1926
Marilyn Jeanne McGuire is a former actress and a contralto singer from the 1940s. Another prominent actress whose career ended rather short is Marcy McGuire, who debuted her acting course at the age of sixteen in the 1942 movie Seven Days' Leave after making a deal with RKO Pictures.
Her film portfolio includes 11 roles, with her last credited one being in the 1952 film Jumping Jacks alongside Dean Martin. She essentially retired after that role, though she had a minor uncredited appearance in Disney's Summer Magic in 1963. In 1947, she married actor Wally Cassell and the pair stayed together until Cassell's death in 2015. They have two children Michael and Cindy from their successful and long marriage. She is now 94 years old and lives a comfortable life in retirement. We hope she continues to focus on her health and well-being.
Cara Williams - 1925
Born as Bernice Kamiat she is popular by her stage name Cara Williams and Bernice Kay. She made her debut in 1941 and had a short-lived career. Though Cara Williams wasn't Hollywood's top name, she did have some highlights in her career. Most people recognize her for her performance in the 1958 movie The Defiant Ones, which brought her huge earnings and an Academy Award nomination.
Her last movie project was the crime film The One Man Jury in 1978 and she hasn't acted since then. She then became an interior designer living in Los Angeles with her third husband, Asher Dann.
Did you know that her second husband was actually Santa Clarita Diet star Drew Barrymore's father, John Drew Barrymore? Williams and Barrymore had a son together named John Blyth Barrymore. She is now 95 years old and is going strong to this day. We hope she continues to stay in great health for many more years to come.
Suzanne Somers - 1946
Suzanne Somers is a 72-year old American actress and singer. She's also an author but the real reason everyone remembers her is her role as Chrissy Snow on Three's Company. She also appeared as Carol Foster on Step by Step and gained critical acclaim. Recently, she took to Instagram and posted her naked picture in a bathtub, causing a fan reaction.
Some were happy that she's still young at heart while others thought this is yet another move to endorse the beauty industry. Nevertheless, she still looks amazing whether you agree to the way she decided to enjoy daisy bloom or not. We are not sure whether she has gone through plastic surgery or not. But she is looking as young as ever these days. She exchanged marital vows with Canadian producer and TV personality, Alan Hamel in the year 1977, and the two are still together.
Ann-Margret – 1941
Ann-Margret Olsson is one of the brightest stars of the musical films from the classical era who is still alive today. The gorgeous actress appeared in Bye Bye Birdie and became famous. She looked so stunning that Elvis Presley wanted to date her. Their affair helped Ann-Margret rise to the highest level of fame within no time. She was also in Viva Las Vegas, All’s Faire in Love, The Cincinnati Kid, The Train Robbers, and many more.
The Swedish actress was married to American actor, Roger Smith from the year 1967 till his demise in the year 2017. She started out in tinsel town at the beginning of the 60s decade and has had a decorated career till now. Olsson has grabbed a Grammy Award twice, a Screen Actor Guild Award once, and an Academy Award twice. Needless to say, she has raked in ample currency to steer clear of any kind of financial hurdle.
Ed Asner - 1929
Ed Asner's TV activity doesn't need any introductions, as you surely recognize his hit performance as Lou Grant in the Mary Tyler Moore Show. He even had his own spin-off titled Lou Grant. Younger generations may recognize him as the voice of Carl in the 2009 animated film Up. Asner is the recipient of 7 Emmy Awards, the most ever won by an actor. He also served as the Screen Actors Guild's President for four years.
He's also engaged in political and social causes, promoting cheap health insurance programs and other campaigns. While most 88-year-olds are now retired, he's still active in the industry with two upcoming projects for 2018. Born in the year 1929, Asner has gracefully entered into the ninth decade of his life, but his zeal to work harder can put any youngster to shame. His career has spanned across more than six decades, but the nonagenarian doesn’t seem to stop.
Lou Ferrigno - 1951
Lou Ferrigno gained the attention of fans by appearing in the original 1977 Hulk series and movies. But that's not all that he is famous for. Lou is a retired professional bodybuilder and due to his fitness regime he became part of various documentaries. His most notable documentary is Pumping Iron. Recently he appeared in the 2012 The Avengers movie, however, Lou is retired from the industry.
With a net worth of something close to $6 million, Lou has ensured a smooth and secured retired life. He exchanged marital vows with Carla Green in the year 1980 and the two have been enjoying marital bliss for the past forty years. The 68-year-old is still a livewire and as we have seen Lou from close, we know he will do everything he can to continue entertaining his fans. The former Mr. Universe surely has a special place in our hearts.
Barbara Walters - 1929
When it comes to American journalism, Barbara Walters has made sure that her name is never going to be forgotten. If you are shocked by her net worth at 89 years of age, that is because this hard-working and intelligent woman was a pretty big broadcast journalist of her days. Television personality Barbara Walters was the host of various shows such as 20/20, Today, The View, and ABC Evening News.
The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award in the year 2000. Now that she's old, Barbara Walters is going through a tough time due to her health. Surely, her family is by her side to help her through! As far as we know, her earnings have been close to $170 million and that figure is more than sufficient to pay for her medical expenses. She took a permanent leave from work in 2015.
Johnny Crawford - 1946
Johnny Crawford grew up in a family where a lot of the members were established singers, artists, and actors. So, it comes as no surprise that Johnny began his career in Hollywood at the age of 12 by playing the role of Mark McCain in hit Western television series The Rifleman back in 1958. Since then he also appeared in The Mickey Mouse Club and other projects. However, Johnny has now retired and you rarely get to see him in Hollywood.
He entered into a marital alliance with Charlotte McKenna in the year 1995 and nothing on earth has been able to separate the two. It has been a complete and blissful married life of 25 years for the duo. Crawford has also churned a host of singles during the course of his career and Your Love Is Growing Cold, Cry on My Shoulder, Judy Loves Me, and Everyone Should Own a Dream are some of them. We just hope that he has had his health insurance done because that’s what he needs at this age.
Cassandra Peterson - 1951
Cassandra Peterson is popular in the industry due to her portrayal of Elvira who hosts a television show Elvira's Movie Macabre. Known as the Mistress of Darkness. Banking on the fame of the her character, the actress, singer, and writer has written and starred on two movies based on the same character. However, her career bloomed only because she's one of the most iconic horror genre characters.
She has also starred in films such as Diamonds are Forever, Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold, The Working Girls, King of the Mountain, and many more. At 67, Cassandra lives a simpler lifestyle with her daughter and still is part of numerous small scale projects. According to her financial planning advisor, Peterson has managed to pour $3 million to her banks till now. At 68, she is just as gorgeous as she was some twenty years back.
Dolores Hart - 1938
When Dolores Hart entered the acting industry, people were stunned by her beauty and they believed that they had found the next Hollywood star. From 1957 to 1963, Hart appeared in 10 movies—her first one being Loving You with Elvis Presley. She later played alongside other acclaimed actors as well, such as Montgomery Cliff and George Hamilton.
She has an impressive collection of films including The Plunderers, Sail of a Crooked Ship, Wild Is The Wind, and Come Fly With Me, to boast of. She was doing quite well for herself. However, one fine day Hart announced that she will quit acting and became a Benedictine nun at the Abbey of Regina Laudis monastery in Connecticut. Huge net worth wasn't her goal, apparently. We last saw her in 2011, when she appeared in God is the Bigger Elvis, a documentary narrating her life.
Daniel Stern - 1957
Daniel Stern is a well-known legend when it comes to comedy. This American actor, director, and writer have appeared in numerous films and television shows during his career. However, he's quite popular for playing Marv in the Home Alone movie series. While Daniel is vocal about how he would like to be appreciated for all his work instead of just Home Alone series, his fans can only recognize him through that iconic character!

Her big break came when she starred alongside actor Warren Beatty in the movie, Bonnie and Clyde. Her other notable roles were in films such as Network, Chinatown, and Master Class. Dunaway seems to have taken care of her health and well-being over the years and despite being 79 years old, she is still strong enough to take on movie projects.
In fact, she is set to appear in an upcoming movie titled, Visceral. Dunaway has earned a British Academy Film Award once, a Golden Globe Award thrice, and an Oscar once. Despite the fact that she is about to enter her eighties, her charming demeanor and a heartwarming smile can still melt a heart away. Dunaway has always been an asset to the industry and fans have loved her with all their hearts.
Barry Manilow – 1943
With a career spanning more than five decades, Barry stands as one of the most notable yesteryear artists. They spun magic as a singer-songwriter, musician, arranger, actor, and producer.

In all these years, Manilow released close to 51 Top 40 singles on the Adult Contemporary Charts.

He was highly popular among his fans and received appreciation from legends like Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, etc.
Garry Kief is his partner since 2014, and both of them are indeed enjoying their marital relationship. At 77, Manilow might not create similar magic as earlier, but with the wealth that he was- he doesn’t need to worry much.
Bob Newhart - 1929
George Robert Newhart or Bob Newhart as most of his fans know him made his debut in 1958. His unique style of dialogue delivery with slight stammering made people take note of him. He is counted among the greats of deadpan comedy, Bob Newhart's stand-up comedy skills are still praised after so many years. People loved his comedy album The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, which became a global best-seller.
He's now 90 and his financial planning in retirement is...well, he doesn't have one—he still hasn't retired! Newhart ventured into acting as well.

He's been married to Virginia Quinn since 1963 and they have 4 children together.
Stefanie Powers - 1942
Remember the gorgeous lady who played Jennifer Hart in the mystery series Hart to Hart? She was on the show for five seasons, which made her a household name. While most people still recognize her as Jennifer Hart, the actual name of this two time Emmy Award Nominee is Stefanie Powers.
It has been a few decades since the show went off the air. And the actress went on to feature in numerous other movies and television shows. She continues to stay active in the entertainment industry despite being in her 70s.
Banking on all the success, she has a fortune of $10 million. This makes it possible for her to afford all the luxuries in the world. We hope the gorgeous lady stays in great shape and health and enjoys her retirement years in happiness and contentment.
Maggie Smith - 1934
Actress Magie Smith has spent more than six decades booking acting roles left and right. She is well recognized for the award-winning performances she had in films like The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and California Suite. Many of you also know her for her playing Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter movies. Smith is one of the few actresses who can say that they've achieved a Triple Crown of Acting. In the 2010s, she was known for appearing in the highly popular show, Downton Abbey. She is set to reprise her role as Violet Crawley in the upcoming Downton Abbey full movie.
With more than 60 films and 70 plays till date, Smith has no doubt slowed down and that’s exactly what is expected of her. She’s 85 and total retirement however doesn’t seem on the cards! But then, we cherish her presence so much, can’t deny.
Gloria Henry - 1923
There are actresses who didn't manage to appear in too many successful TV shows, but just one can be enough. Gloria Henry can confirm it, as playing Alice Mitchell in the classic sitcom Dennis The Menace quickly catapulted her to stardom. She starred in the said show until its cancellation in 1963. Sadly, her career took a turn for the worse later. Landing new and prosperous roles had been hard for her, and we can't eliminate the possibility of her having taken a loan sometime in the past.
Her last TV appearance was in 2012 when she guest-starred in an episode of Parks And Recreation. Gloria is 97 and has had quite a fulfilling life. We hope she’s taking care of her ailing health and making the most of this time when she has amasses wealth and fortune galore and only needs to relax.
Yasmine Bleeth - 1968
Yasmine Amanda Bleeth played the role of Caroline Holden in Baywatch, LeeAnn Demerest in One Life To Live, and Ryan Fenelli in Ryan’s Hope. All these remarkable performances helped the 52-year old charming woman to get noticed and eventually loved by many.
In 2000, Yasmin accepted a role in the short-lived series Titans. Many other TV series and films occurred to her, and she guest-starred in a few. But her career didn’t shape up well.
She met her husband, Paul Cerrito, in 2000. Though everything was not great post marriage in 2002, thankfully, the duo battled with crises and stayed strong. She has been the spokesperson for fundraising campaigns that raise several dollars for studies and research on breast cancer. Her donations are umpteen, and we hope she has sorted her health insurance plans first. After ten years, she made her first public appearance in 2000.
Max Baer Jr. - 1937
Max Baer Jr. became an unforgettable name when this actor starred in The Beverly Hillbillies. His character, Jethro, is the reason why he's recognized easily in the industry. Since the famous comedy series ended, Max changed his career and started film making. That happened mainly because he was unable to get any other notable roles for 3 years. Max first landed into acting with his role in Goldilocks and the Three Bears in 1949. It was with Warner Bros. around the 1960s, when he made several appearances on renowned TV programs.
At present, he’s 82. However, Max doesn't need to worry about his life insurance after his retirement from Hollywood, considering he made millions through his real estate business! We truly appreciate how he had set multiple income avenues- precisely why he would never have to worry about going bankrupt any day!
Dick Van Dyke - 1925
Richard Wayne Van Dyke who was born December 13, 1925, is an American comedian, actor, singer, writer, and dancer, whose award-winning career lasted over seven decades. He gained his net worth because of his consistent hard work in the industry. This comedian gained notability in Hollywood and his role in The Dick Van Dyke Show won him several accolades.
Dyke has won many an award such as the Primetime Emmys, Tony, and a Grammy award. He has also been acknowledged as a Disney legend. He also had a role in Marry Poppins and other projects from the Golden era, playing the role with elan. Dyke is now living a quiet and comfortable life with his wife Arlene in their beautiful home, Dick Van Dyke still occasionally continues to appear in recent projects. You have recently seen him in Marry Poppins Returns!
Bob Barker — 1923
Robert William Barker or professionally known as Bob Barker is a retired American TV game show host. Bob is beloved to the fans who watched him for many years on television as a game show host, with The Price is Right the most famous of all his hosted game shows. Bob Barker is also prominent for hosting the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants.
Right now the famous host is taking a break and on the verge of retirement which is good for him. That's because he needs proper healthcare for some health issues he is currently experiencing. He has been an animal activist for the longest time and has taken several steps for supporting the cause of animal rights, right from donating a sizeable amount to $ 1 million, Columbia University School of Law to renovating PETA's new office in Los Angeles.
Agnetha Fältskog - 1950
Many people consider ABBA as one of the greatest bands to have ever come out of the ’70s and that contributes to the enormous fan following that this band has until now that their songs are still being listened to worldwide. One of their members is Agnetha Fältskog, who was once married to ABBA bandmate, Bjorn Ulvaeus. Both of their commitment to the band was so strong, they continued to make music even after their split. However, the separation affected Fältskog so much that she had to undergo therapy. When ABBA ultimately disbanded, Agnetha decided to move to the Swedish countryside to live a quiet life.
Agnatha made considerable money during her career as a singer, musician, songwriter, and actress. She’s 70 and we bet she has several investments, even when she has chosen to lead a comparatively solitary life. But we respect her decisions and hope to see her charming as always.
Eva Marie Saint — 1924
The career of actress Eva Marie Saint is actually very long (75 years to be precise!). She’s been in the business since the late 1940s, and her most prominent role was in the movie On the Waterfront, where she starred along with the Hollywood icon, Marlon Brando. It is also the movie that gave Saint her Oscars trophy for the Best Supporting Actress. Besides this, Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest stays another notable mention in her career. Several films came her way, which helped her fetch the Golden Globe, BAFTA and also a Primetime Emmy Award
Pension investments are not something Saint needed to bother herself about before she became a senior citizen, because her acting career has provided the actress the financial security she has now. She’s 96 years old and radiates grace and charm- so much so that we would love to be inspired by her.
Phyllis Coates – 1927
The character of ‘Lois Lane’ in Superman and the Mole Man, way back in 1951would have been non-existent had it not been for Phyllis Coates. Though that’s not her real name, yet very few would recognize her as Gypsie Ann Evarts Stell.
