They Were the Stars of Yesterday, But You Won’t Believe What They’re Doing in Retirement

They were the glitterati of the yesteryears, wowing audiences of all ages with their beauty and talent alike. Decades later, we wonder what has become of these once-shining stars. While there are some that are still very much visible in movies to this day, there are others who are now comfortable in retirement. Some can even claim to have just as much drama in their personal lives as the roles that they once played, be it in the guise of divorce or alcoholism. Regardless of where they are now, these stars of yore can all say for certain that they enjoyed their high net worth and success to the fullest.

Lee Majors – 82 Years Old

The Six Million Dollar Man gave America a popular science fiction TV series and it also made them fall in love with actor Lee Majors, who played Colonel Steve Austin in it. He went on to star in many TV series and movies, each time showing us how good his acting really is. Not the one to let his age slow him down, he still acts and does voice-over projects, even though he’s in his 80s!

Jeff Bridges – 71 Years

Admirers of this extraordinary man have been sitting heartbroken ever since he announced a deterioration of health. As continuous support has helped Jeff Bridges fight the battle, he has also taken time off his busy filming schedule to finally relax, quoting that it has brought new light to his feelings.

While we continue to pray for his long life, let’s not forget that Bridges has been dubbed the least self-conscious actor ever. He won our hearts the day ‘Fearless’ was released and continued to show lasting passion for acting. Everyone knows shaving his head for the role of Obadiah Stane in ‘Iron Man’ won’t be lost in history!

Paul Hogan – 82 Years Old

Paul Hogan, the recipient of many high-profile awards, is a comedian, actor, television presenter, and writer who rose to fame in the Golden Age. Despite having performed at various gigs, his most memorable until today remains the one where he portrayed the lead role in Crocodile Dundee.

Do you know yet that Hogan is expected to return to acting and take a role in ‘The Very Excellent Mister Dundee’ soon? We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to binge-watch! The star currently resides in a Victorian farmhouse near Santa Barbara, California in a peaceful bliss out of the spotlight.

David Letterman, 74 Years Old

When we talk about late-night talk shows, there are a lot of names that come to mind, but one that changed the game for all is David Letterman. He hosted his own show for over 30 years before he changed channels but he still holds the record for being the longest-running late-night show host in American television history.

After spending so many years in the television world, Letterman is still not done sharing all his talents with his audience because he started presenting another show on Netflix in 2018. It looks like this old man is not giving up on his ambition anytime soon!

Marlo Thomas – 84 Years Old

In her 80s, Marlo Thomas is not only alive but is kicking it too! The yesteryear actress has had numerous memorable roles on television which ultimately led her to four laurels at the Grammy Awards. All this success and her real estate properties took her net worth to the tune of $150 million!

The octogenarian’s latest project is ‘What Makes a Marriage Last’, a book penned by her highlighting the stories of 40 successful couples. In spite of her age, it doesn’t seem like she is going to retire anytime soon.
