When you are a fan of the entertainment industry, be it in TV shows, films, or stage performances, you can’t help but wonder what has become of your favorite stars that wowed audiences during their time. While some of our old favorites are still in the latest movies with credits to their name, some are comfortably in their retirement. As their star-shining days, one can only expect them to retire in style and glamor or living their past roles. Regardless, these are the famous stars from decades past who can say for sure how they have thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of their success and the stunning net worth accumulated from their careers.

MORGAN FREEMAN

Morgan Freeman remains to be one of the most bankable actors in the world to this day. Since July of this year, he ranks fifth-highest box office star with combined total box office gross of $4.522 billion for all his film credits in the industry. Who can still remember his 1970’s debut performance in Who Says I Can’t Ride a Rainbow! a family drama starring Jack Krugman? How about who can’t recognize him in numerous blockbusters that he is a part of to this day?

His recent film was 2019’s Angel Has Fallen which he plays the role of Flanders Galen Trumbull. It seems Freeman’s retirement is still about a career and net worth that can’t help but go from strength to strength as he is now said to be worth a whopping $250 million and growing with movie projects coming in for the reel.

GENE HACKMAN

Gene Hackman is a retired award-winning actor, who has two Academy Awards, four Golden Globes, a Screen Actors Guild Award and two from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). His first film credit was in the 1964 film Lilith. From then on, his movie performances had just been nothing but something to look forward to and note. His final film before his retirement was the 2004 comedy film, Welcome to Mooseport.

Today, though he is no longer seen in the limelight of cinema, as he is sure of his retirement from acting, he remains to be in the industry of entertainment as he now writes novels and already has five books to his credit. He has written several historical novels named Wake of the Perdido Star, a sea adventure of the 19th century, Justice for None, a Depression-era tale of murder, and Escape from Andersonville which is a story about a prisoner who escapes during the American Civil War.

ALI MACGRAW

Ali MacGraw is one of Hollywood’s biggest success stories of all time. She started from being a production assistant, who later on was noticed for her striking looks and given the opportunity to land in film project roles. From her humble beginnings, she is not one who remained to be just a face. She made sure that she showcased her talents in every role she was entrusted with. Her performances in classics like The Getaway and Love Story were her most notable film credit roles.

Yet despite her success in the industry, her career was soon disrupted by personal struggles. Fortunately, she discovered yoga to help her cope up. Up to this day, she remains to be an avid practitioner. In addition, she co-produced a yoga video with yoga masters, which is very popular and influential. As some would say, it’s probably the secret behind her still youthful look.

NORMAN LLOYD

With this actor’s age, he is one who has weathered many historical moments, seen most changes happen – if not all – and worked with different iconic figures of all ages in Hollywood. To name a few, he has had a great time working with fellow legends Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, and also good friends with Charlie Chaplin.

As an artist, he also had the knack for exploring all opportunities in the industry. He has been on the stage, screen, and even as a director and producer. As to this day, he has been around in the industry for eight decades and people may think that he’s probably got enough of it. Watch out for him, though, as he currently stars in the TV show, Fly.

LEX LUGER

Known for his ring name as Lex Luger, this former WWF professional wrestler is actually a mellow guy. In the ring, though, he is sought for the tactics he would come up with to intimidate his opponents. In wrestling, he is the character that sets the thrills in the ring to the degree that it solicits different reactions from the audience. His career in the limelight began when he played football for the NFL team, the Miami Hurricanes.

However, he has booted off the team. It was in 1985, in a celebrity golfing event, where Luger met Bob Roop, and the opportunity opened for Luger to try out possibilities in the professional wrestling world. After a long and fruitful career as a wrestler, he took some time off and emerged in 2011, coming out of his semi-retirement to work on the WWE Wellness Policy and club, which promotes healthy practices among its athletes.

Her performance in Come Back, Little Sheba earned her a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her career has developed rapidly because she joined Columbia Pictures and signed long-term cooperation.

During the period, she participated in the production and appeared in some movies. It was only in the ‘60s that her career started to slow down when she appeared in a string of B-movies. Despite the slowdown, her early successes in the industry were enough for her to be recognized and honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. To date, she walks as one of the surviving stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

LONI ANDERSON

Loni Anderson is most remembered for her iconic credit role as the receptionist in the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. The show run from the late ‘70s to the early ‘80s and earned Anderson a number of Golden Globes and Emmy nominations.

To this day, she is still visible in television acting, most recently appeared in the pilot of the Amazon series, Love You More. However, she is more focused on her advocacy against lung diseases.

She became the spokesperson of COPD in 1999, and during the COPD education campaign, she became acquainted with her future husband Bob Flick.

JULIE ANDREWS

Julie Andrews is an English actress, singer, and author. She was a child actor and singer who started her career and rose to prominence in Broadway. There is no question of doubt of what Julie Andrews can do, and to say that she is a gifted actress is an understatement. With her debut in her iconic role and performance in the wildly popular 1964 movie, Mary Poppins, she made sure that it would hit and count. It was for this film credit that she won her first Academy Award for Best Actress.

Today, after many years of entertaining generations of fans, the art of acting has not left Julie, as she too remains active in the industry. At her age, she has adapted other fields such as voicing credits for characters in animated movies, Shrek and Despicable Me 3. Although there may be signs of slowing down, fans should know that there is no stopping this award-winning actress.

Her career began when she received her credit role in a Roman Polanski film, Cul-de-sac, in 1966. Since then, she’s been cast in numerous iconic characters, including a Bond girl stint in the James Bond satire Casino Royale. At the peak of her career, she became famous in the United States with The Deep.

Some scenes in which she wore a white T-shirt and appeared underwater are particularly impressive. Some of other roles also gained popularity because of her outstanding performances. On other news, she is one of the few in the industry who never married, let alone, had a divorce, despite stories of her high-profile relationships through the years. But she has also had excellent boyfriends, many of whom are real estate tycoons, actors, etc.

DENISE AUSTIN

Denise Austin is known to be one of the faces of fitness in the late ‘80s to early ‘90s. She was seen regularly as a fitness instructor in her longest-running fitness show on ESPN2, Getting Fit with Denise Austin. She is now succeeded by her daughter, who is also into fitness and owns her own fitness brand, Get Fit with Katie. She even has her own fitness app. In addition, she is also a fitness trainer like her mother and has her own YouTube channel.

To those who are missing Austin, reruns of her fitness show are still aired on TV despite it ending years ago, or you can even catch her every now and then on social media for some of her updated fitness tips. Most of her fitness programs are motivating. At the age of 63, she seemed to be one who won’t need a health insurance plan.

RHONDA FLEMING

Actress Rhonda Fleming was referred to as the “Queen of Technicolor” when Technicolor was first introduced in television and films, because of her bright red hair and fair complexion that stood out. Fleming’s most notable performance is known from her big break in an Alfred Hitchcock film credit, Spellbound. In all her services, she was able to make more than 40 Hollywood film credits to her name.

When she officially retired as an actress, she became a strong advocate of her charity works, especially with healthcare and medical insurance. She, together with her then-husband, Ted Mann, established the Rhonda Fleming Mann Clinic For Women’s Comprehensive Care at the UCLA Medical Center. In 1960, she had gradually withdrawn from film and television and began to invest in real estate.

JACK NICHOLSON

Jack Nicholson is known for his wide range of starring and supporting roles, which include comedy, romance, and darkly comic portrayals of anti-heroes and evil characters alike. Although he was last seen in his 2016 TV credit, The Fight Game With Jim Lampley, Nicholson has never officially announced his retirement from acting. So whether it may seem that he already retired, simply resting or merely just taking time with his family, we owe that time away to him and rightly so as he has been in the business since 1953.

At 83, Nicholson is also remembered to have risen to fame with the 1969 road drama, Easy Rider. His other iconic film credits include Terms of Endearment and As Good as It Gets. Nicholson is a collector of 20th century and contemporary art, including Tamara de Lempicka, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol and Jack Vettriano.

VIRGINIA PATTON

irginia Patton is an actress from Hollywood’s Golden Age. She was a student at the University of Southern California when she would audition for acting parts and role in plays and films. It was only after a series of small credit roles that she became a familiar face to this day. Patton was the only one signed on into contract by no other than Capra, for her first significant credit role as Ruth Dakin Bailey in the all-time favorite film, It’s a Wonderful Life.

Such a movie is still being watched today, especially in holiday seasons. However, retirement from the business came early for Patton, as she decided to quit the film industry to concentrate on raising a family after her marriage in 1949. To this day, in her senior years, she still gives interviews, especially if it is about popular movies.

JOANNE WOODWARD

Joanne Woodward enjoyed a six-decade-long successful movie career – a rare feat that very few get this lucky in the industry. This is the reason why she is one of those referred to be legendary in the business. Over the years, Joanne earned many major movie and TV awards, especially in her excellent performances in The Three Faces of Eve, Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams, and Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, among other movies.

Given her age, it comes as no surprise that she is now in her retirement. Her last project was a movie credit of her incredible voice in the 2013 comedy-drama, Lucky Them. In the area of family, she lived a happy and harmonious marriage to a fellow actor, Paul Newman, who she married in 1958. Woodward served as the artistic director of Westport Country Theatre from 2001 to 2005. In addition, she has also served as an executive producer of film programs.

Her time in RADA eventually led to a very illustrious and successful career on stage. It was when she moved to Hollywood that she was given film credits as a leading lady in the films, The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing and Rally Round the Flag, Boys!, to name a few.

But she returned to her first love, the stage, in the ‘80s when she took the lead roles in The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, Private Lives, and many more. At the age of 85, Joan Collins focuses on her charity projects, owing to her English title, Dame, which was given and appointed to her in 2015 by Queen Elizabeth II.

JULIE KAVNER

Julie Kavner is known during the ‘70s and ‘80s for her credits in many TV series and movies. Her big break on TV came when she starred in the show, Rhoda, which ran for four years. It was in this show that Kavner got noticed for her performance. It was for her voice credit in the movies that led her to such a memorable portrayal as Marge Simpson and her twin sisters, Patty and Selma Bouvier, on The Simpsons, among many others.

She also lent her voice to video games and continues to do so. Despite being a public figure, she remained privy about her personal life. It is the reason why we only knew a few of what she is up to these days. Julie Kavner attaches great importance to the protection of privacy, and she rarely shows up in public and refuses to be photographed at work, so the media knows very little about her life.

LINDA HUNT

Veteran actress Linda Hunt, who is known in the front of theater, TV, and movies, is widely celebrated for her award-winning performances. Though not many know, she is the first person to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for portraying a male character on the screen in the movie, The Year of Living Dangerously!

Former actress Betty Lynn used her voice as a ticket to penetrate Hollywood. Being born to a mezzo-soprano for a mother, Lynn, who was only five years old, was enrolled in Kansas City Conservatory of Music to study singing. Before her Broadway musicals and film credits, she was first introduced to radio acting. The films she starred in were the blockbuster hits, Sitting Pretty, June Bride, and Cheaper by the Dozen.

It was later on in her career that she found her way into television shows. Her biggest break was when she got cast to play Thelma Lou on The Andy Griffith Show. Betty Lynn has never been married, but she once said that she was engaged, but the outside is not very sure about her marriage. At 93, Lynn now has retired from acting and spends her days in her home at Mount Airy, North Carolina.

CHUCK NORRIS

Actor and martial artist Chuck Norris just turned 80 years old earlier this year. It was after Chuck was discharged from the Air Force in the late ‘50s when he started making a name for himself in martial arts. He also tried his luck in what eventually became a very successful acting career with roles in movies like Way of the Dragon and Missing in Action to his credit, as well as the titular character in the long-running series, Walker, Texas Ranger.

Though Chuck is nowhere near retirement, he has not only created his own martial art, Chun Kuk Do but has also published non-fiction books and advertising commercial trucks for sale. His literary works include his autobiography Against All Odds: My Story. This man, no matter his age, doesn’t stop trying out new things, even to the degree of writing.

OLIVIA HUSSEY

Argentine actress Olivia Hussey is the star for the credit role of Juliet in 1968 Romeo and Juliet. The character earned her international acclaim and also a Golden Globe. However, a semi-retirement followed her feat for the next two years, when she developed severe agoraphobia. After recovering from the illness, she went on to ride the trajectory of being a rising star by starring in more projects like Black Christmas, as well as in the TV production of Jesus of Nazareth.

Olivia Hussey has also served as a voice actor and was nominated for work in DC animation. She has also served as a role in the multi-person online role-playing game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, with a wide range of development directions.

The show is said to be the most famous TV show in all television history and well defined by its long-run from 1962 to 1971. Baer became the last living cast member of the show in 2015 when Donna Douglas passed away. He is also known for his other credit roles in other TV shows, such as Vacation Playhouse, 77 Sunset Strip, and A Time for Killing.

While his role in The Beverly Hillbillies is proved to be the highlight of Baer’s acting career, he also tried his shot in writing, directing, and producing. He found success in his first film direction, Macon County Line when it hit top-gross per dollar invested that period. In 1999, he received yet again another success in film directing, The Blair Witch Project.

JACKIE MASON

Jackie Mason is a well-known American humorist and film and television actor from the ‘50s. With his long entertainment career, he ranked as number 63 on Comedy Central’s 100 Greatest Comedians of All Time. He also appeared on countless Broadway shows. Thus, it is not surprising that Mason has accumulated millions of dollars in his bank account and could continue living his luxurious life right now despite retiring his 47-long run in the entertainment industry.

He certainly made a name for himself and is recognized most notably for his one-man show The World According to Me, which won him a string of awards and recognitions. For his many successes and accolades in the industry, we are convinced that he is one who has made investments and plans and would receive unending support from his fans and his loved ones—whether it is inside or outside of the industry.

CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER

Christopher Plummer is a Canadian actor who rose to fame for his role as the beloved Captain von Trapp in The Sound of Music. Indeed, throughout his journey in the industry, he created a legacy that only he can attain. Christopher is best known for his amazing talent in acting, which has not diminished for almost seven decades. He had achieved numerous awards, some of them include an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, an Emmy trophy, and so much more.

Seeing all of his achievements, it’s astonishing to know that he wasn’t even supposed to become an actor in the first place. During his early years, he was trained to become a concert pianist before he decided to pursue acting. Luckily for us, he chose wisely. Because even at 91 years old, he continues to thrive in the limelight, and we could all see that he has enough strength to conduct more projects if he would like to. This tenacity assured him not only personal but financial success.

BARBARA EDEN

Barbara Eden is one the most endearing and enduring that ever graced the silver screen. She is best known for her iconic title credit role in the hit TV series I Dream of Jeannie. It was Eden who elevated the titular role of Jeannie to prominence and made the character a true female icon. Today, Eden is still active in the entertainment industry, having appeared in the 2019 film My Adventures with Santa.

A lot of people were also amazed when she was awarded an honorary degree as Doctor of Law by the University of West Los Angeles in 1990. Being an amazing actress and singer, Barbara maintains her image very well. Because of her perseverance, diligence, and love for her work, she is a winner in life. I bet everyone is super excited about what more she can do and what project she could make in the future.

ARLENE DAHL

Arlene Dahl is a retired American actress from the ‘50s. She rose to fame as a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) contract star and is considered to be one of the surviving stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood. At her prime with MGM, she was able to star in several successful and profitable films for MGM, except for quite a few that flopped. Perhaps her most successful film was her lead role in the 1959 adventure film Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Following her hiatus from show business for more than 20 years, she has been seen in a weekly column on papers for her take on beauty and attending to her investments in her lingerie business. Arlene does not captivate her followers based on her physical appearance and talents alone, but also her proficient skills in business and investments. Indeed, she has still maintained the elegance and femininity that was always within her.

JOHN ASTIN

John Astin is an American actor who has appeared in hundreds of television series and numerous movies. He is one of those actors who ventured out to directing and voice artistry later on in their careers. He is widely known for playing the credit role of Gomez Addams of the ‘60s film The Addams Family. His frequent reprisal of the role in this movie became a significant part of his career and made him a household name for decades to come.

As an actor and a director, we are certain that his net worth is a catch as his entire career has been financially rewarding. He is also known for his larger-than-life version of the Batman villain, The Riddler, from the ‘60s series, together with Adam West. Today, at 90 years old, John still hasn’t retired from Hollywood and has even worked in the 2017 Justice League Action. Thus, we could expect to see him in numerous projects in the future.

ROBERT WAGNER

Robert Wagner is best known for his acting credits in successful TV shows such as Hart to Hart and It Takes A Thief, along with numerous other television and film projects. Some may also remember him for his role as Number 2 in the Austin Powers film trilogy from 1997 to 2002 and his recurring roles in the hit TV series Two and a Half Men and NCIS. As one who does not want to pass over good roles,

he is still accepting movie projects and is willing to create a more lasting legacy in the industry, even at the ripe age of 90. With the countless awards that he gained while working passionately, he does not have to prove himself to the modern generation. Indeed, he is still popular all over the world. We just genuinely hope that he continues to take care of his health and his financial investments so that he could enjoy the fruit of his hard work.

JANIS PAIGE

Janis Paige is an American singer and actress who started her exciting career in Hollywood in the early ‘50s. Her screen name was inspired by Elsie Janis but her real name is Donna Mae Tjaden. Later, however, she took on Broadway shows to compensate for her early failures in Hollywood. She later returned to filmmaking with a film credit in Silk Stockings. Although she had been away from the spotlight for quite some time,

she made headlines in the early 2000s for a damaged vocal cord, of which she later recovered. In 2017, she hit the news headlines again when she wrote a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, at age 95. Now at the ripe age of 98, she still managed to maintain the youthful and glowing look that other people admire about her. We genuinely hope that she also preserves her strength and invest in sustaining her health and needs.

RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN

George Richard Chamberlain is the most in-demand heartthrob and one of the most handsome men in the late 1960s. He is popularly known both for his phenomenal acting skills and as a producer in the industry, wherein he accomplished numerous awards in both of his specialties. Perhaps having the “prince charming” character helped him to gain the trust of the public.

Richard had been in dramatic roles in many serious films and a ton of experience on the musical stage. In 2005, he ranked number 7 in the TV Guide List of TV’s 25 Greatest Teen Idols. He is also the first singer to record the extremely popular song “They Long to Be Close to You” in 1963. Based on his talent and hard work, it is safe to assume that Richard Chamberlain has guaranteed his financial stability and a sound insurance plan for his health and his family. And regardless of what he plans to do in the future, Richard would definitely rock it all off.

DICK VAN DYKE

Richard Wayne Van Dyke or commonly known as Dick Van Dyke starred in popular musical films such as Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Because of his accomplishments in these films, he became a household name all over the world. At some point in his illustrious career, it is no surprise that he achieved huge awards under his name.

He was even given his self-titled show, which further lends credibility to both his acclaim and net worth. I bet everyone would agree that over the decades, Dick Van has already created a lasting legacy and people would know how a phenomenal actor he is. Now at 95 years old, with a few investments here and there, he recently appeared again for the sheer love of acting in the movie Mary Poppins Returns. His family and children must be very proud of him.

JERRY LEE LEWIS

Jerry Lee Lewis is a renowned pianist and singer who became popular in the late ‘50s. He is often referred to as The Killer for his wild antics on stage. He started playing the piano when he was only nine years old and after years of practice, he became who he is today. Indeed, he is considered to be a pioneer and one of the most influential artists in Rock & Roll.

At the peak of his career, he made several huge hits such as “Good Golly Miss Molly,” “Great Balls of Fire,” and many more. Later, his career went to a halt as he dealt with some personal matters. To his credit, he eventually bounced back, although his career never went the same way as it did before. We’re confident, however, that he made a great investment and probably living his best life despite his roller-coaster career.

GENE REYNOLDS

Gene Reynolds was an American actor, screenwriter, director, and producer, whose crowning achievement is being the co-creator of the hit TV series M*A *S*H. The show with co-creator credits to his name won him several Emmy awards throughout its decade-long run. As an actor, though, he saw some early success in the early ‘30s with films such as Love Finds Andy Hardy and Captains Courageous.

With his undeniable set of skills and talents, the fruits of his hard work must have been stored away in the bank and he must have enjoyed how much he’s worth. Life was so good for him. But since everyone will have the chance to meet our creator, Reynolds together with his wonderful memories were cast away following his death on February 3, 2020. Hopefully, his fans and family will always have a place in their heart that is only dedicated to the great Gene Reynolds.

SUSAN DEY

Susan Dey rose to fame for her credit role as Laurie Partridge in the beloved TV show The Partridge Family. She was only 17 years old with no acting experience when she joined the cast, proving her natural talent for acting. She also had another notable credit role as the lawyer Grace Van Owen in the drama series L.A. Law, for which she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Today, however, she is rarely seen on TV as well as in cast reunions, as shared by her former co-stars such as Shirley Jones—the actress who played The Partridge Family matriarch. So, there’s little to know about how she is doing now. Regardless, she may have already retired in 2004, but we could only assume that at the age of 68, she did enjoy the fruit of her hard work and still strong enough to face all the circumstances that would come to her life.

GLYNIS JOHNS

I bet everyone would believe that she indeed created a legacy in the acting industry that only she could achieve after years of dedicating most of her life working. The British actress, dancer, pianist, and singer Glynis Johns’ decades of entertainment career have earned her more than enough for a comfortable retirement. Over the years in the entertainment industry, Johns enjoyed plenty of success both in Hollywood and on Broadway.

She became well known for her tandem with Stephen Sondheim in A Little Night Music – a play for which she was awarded a Tony. As an actress for the screen, she received various awards for her credit roles in the drama musical Mary Poppins and the 1960 technicolor film The Sundowners. Needless to say, Johns never has to worry about earning more money as she now enjoys a comfortable retirement together with her children and deserves to have a hassle-free life.

CLINT EASTWOOD

Clint Eastwood is an American actor and director who is nothing short of a cultural icon. Although he is widely known for his role as the antihero cop Harry Callahan in the five Dirty Harry films, Eastwood also starred in a handful of equally iconic characters played over the decades in the industry. Needless to say, Eastwood has accumulated numerous awards both as an actor and as a director. One of which is being the top 2 in Empire UK Magazine under the “The Top 100 Movie Stars of all time” Additionally,

he’s one of the few directors best known as an actor to have an Oscar for Best Director. Aside from his numerous honorary degrees, he also received the Golden Lion Award from the prestigious Venice Film Festival, honoring his lifetime achievements. Thus, that could be the reason why he is considered one of the most in-demand directors of his generation. With all his investment money, it is undeniable that it gave him prosperity in life that he and his family could enjoy.

SOPHIA LOREN

Sophia Loren is a name that easily commands admiration and esteem upon mention. Indeed, she is considered to be one of the most beautiful and most important female icons the silver screen has ever produced. Beyond the obvious allure of her looks, however, is an unparalleled talent that won her numerous awards throughout her illustrious career, including the most coveted Oscar. Loren also has successful musical credits to her name that led her to win a Grammy.

She is named as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in Film History and also one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world way back in 1991. And as if that’s not enough, she was also ranked as 21st in the American Film Institute’s 50 Greatest Screen Legend. Yes, you heard that right. Sophia did achieve all of that. With her phenomenal talent, all her success in the industry made her investments and retirement fund grow that will last her comfortably with her loved ones.

OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND

Olivia de Havilland was one of the last living jewels of Hollywood’s Golden Age until she peacefully died on July 26, 2020, at the age of 104. To the very end, she was still the gem that she was to many people decades before. Though she is best known for her credit role as Melanie Hamilton in the extremely iconic movie Gone with the Wind, she is also the long-time romantic interest of Errol Flynn in several movies they co-starred together.

Some of those film classics include Captain Blood, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and Dodge City. Throughout her long and exciting career, she has accumulated numerous awards and nominations for her most beloved roles, as well as a star in Hollywood’s walk of fame for all her contributions in the industry. She won numerous battles and now, we would all wish that she may rest in peace.

SIDNEY POITIER

Sidney Poitier is a Hollywood legend known for his enduring performance in Lilies of the Field. His performance in the movie earned him an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award and made history as the first black actor to win an Academy Award for Best Actor. But his influence never faded as Sidney ranked number 20 on the list of the “Greatest Movie Stars of All Time” in 2005.

For over five decades, he remained a beloved actor not only in Hollywood but in other countries as well. It was when he was appointed to be Bahamas’ ambassador to Japan and UNESCO that he decided to retire from the show business. It became an accomplishment that added to his already high-degree of respectability and acclaim. Moreover, Sidney is the first black actor who has placed his autograph, handprints and footprints in the cement of the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. He is indeed a veteran.

CARA WILLIAMS

Cara Williams is one of the most prolific stars in the ‘50s. She earned credit roles to star in films like Pete and Gladys and The Defiant Ones. However, as successful as her film performances were, her personal life had been quite different. Finally, after a series of romantic problems, she married for a third time to Asher Dann, a businessman with massive investments in real estate.

Williams, eventually, quit show business to pursue a career in interior design instead. This only shows that no matter which road she’d like to take, she will shine through it. And at the age of 95, it is clear that she was able to overcome all the burdens that she bore. She even created a wonderful and prosperous life that her family would enjoy. We genuinely hope that she will also invest some of her strength in her health so that she could continue to inspire more people.

MILDRED KORNMAN

Mildred Kornman is a child actor from the silent film era who also had a series of successful films and a career in modeling as an adult. The opportunities Kornman had at the time were unlike most of her fellow child actors who mostly faded into obscurity soon after the credit role stints. She has also seen some success in the industry when she worked under contract with 20th Century Fox and associated herself as a model under the moniker Ricki VanDusen.

In all her years in the industry, we would all agree that she is an absolute professional and even manage to make a legacy that only Mildred Kornman could ever achieve. Together with her success, she has been given great opportunities to earn and manage her investments. As such, she is spared of bankruptcy news even to this day as she retires comfortably. Indeed, success would come to those who worked for it.

Even though he was just a teenager, his performance in the show was already recognized and earned him an Emmy nomination. Before that, his first-ever TV exposure is with Chuck Connors who was his close friend for many years.

With over seven decades of acting experience and a string of song credits to his name, he lives a good-natured retirement with his accumulated investments. Therefore, it is safe to assume now that perhaps he is enjoying the fruit of his success while playing his favorite sport which is baseball together with his children and grandchildren. Being a veteran in the industry, he deserves all the good things in life.

Her final credit role was for the 1966 drama Seconds.

After the movie, she retired from the industry with all her earnings as her investment money. Since retiring from the limelight, nothing significant was heard of her again. But we all hope that she had some financial advisor that would help her to maintain living the comfortable life that would be beneficial for her today. Many of her fans would wish to see her more on the screen but regardless, we all respect her decision to enjoy her private life.

She also received a credit role, along with Frank Sinatra, in Higher and Higher, and had several successful films after that. Her talent and hard work were paid off by the numerous awards and recognition that she achieved throughout her career.

But since nothing is permanent in this world, she eventually retired after her final movie with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in Jumping Jacks. As we look back at her successful career, one will notice how she held on to her opposite stars like Sinatra and Ball. She was able to do 11 films before entirely devoting her time to her husband, actor Wally Cassel. Aside from being a phenomenal actress, she is also a loving wife.

When he was already in his 90s, he still made an appearance in his credit role as Professor Proton in the popular series The Big Bang Theory. He is also active in its spin-off Young Sheldon.

Until today, these shows are currently in demand by the younger generation, and so it is safe to assume that despite his old age, he is still popular and sought after in the industry. I guess there will be no real retirement from what is natural to you, which in his case: comedy. If you love what you are doing you will have the privilege to enjoy the goodness of life just like Bob Newhart did with his career.

Sean Connery was one of the most recognizable and successful actors in Hollywood. Though he was not born with a silver spoon, he was able to make it to the top and remained humble despite the stardom he attained. His career spanned for over five decades, which earned him so much respect and even a well-deserved nickname of “The Greatest Scot”. He used to be a milkman, laborer, and even a coffin polisher before he became one of the cinema world’s greatest talents.

It’s no wonder then how his legion of fans badly missed him onscreen after his retirement. But at least there’s a consolation in the fact that his retirement afforded him a comfortable life which was, of course, brought to him by his investments from his earnings in the industry. However, after living a glorious life, Sean Connery reported meeting his creator at the age of 90. People would miss him more today as well as his family.

For many years, she would only take on occasional acting jobs until the early ‘90s when she finally retired from show business for good. After living her roller-coaster life in the industry, it’s still safe to assume that at the age of 87, she managed to maintain her financial stability that her family would enjoy.

proving that she is more than just a beauty but also one with wit and intelligence. Growing old in the industry made her a regular guest in various shows, and the last one she did was in 2019, in the animated TV series The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants.

She also did the voice of the character of Laverne in the Disney animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Since the decline of Hollywood’s Golden Age, she wasn’t able to act as much.
