VISIT THE PAST AND RECALL THESE LEGENDARY CELEBRITIES THAT WE ONCE LOVED

SAM ELLIOT | 75

Sam Elliot is not just known for his exceptional talent but for his trademark appearance, too. He is best known for the movies A Star is Born, Tombstone, and Road House. With his excellent acting skill, he was once nominated for the Academy Awards and two Golden Globe Awards. Of course, he also won some of them. Born on August 9, 1944, in Sacramento, California, Sam was the son of a teacher and a predator control specialist. His parents hailed from Paso, Texas, but when he turned 13 years old, his whole family moved to Portland, Oregon.

Sam won the National Board of Review Award and the Critics’ Choice Television Award. He also uses his voice as an investment in the industry, working for voice-overs for commercials, too. At 75 years old, Sam has no plans to retire yet. He probably still has the strength and ability to play every role that will come his way.

LONI ANDERSON | 74

People will always remember Loni Anderson as Jennifer Marlow from the CBS sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. You may think that her role as a receptionist is nothing but a simple character, but it earned her three Golden Globe awards and two Emmy Awards nominations—she’s that great! Ever since she was young, Anderson has always been one of the popular kids. In fact, she was voted “Valentine Queen” during the Valentine’s Day Winter Formal in 1963. Her mother was a model, so it did not come as a surprise that she got a lot of attention growing up, too.

Sadly, despite the accolades and fame, her shine started to fade. Her last TV appearance was in 2917’s My Sister is So Gay, while some of her few acting credits were So Notorious and Baby Daddy. Anyhow, although fans rarely see Loni on both the big and small screens, she still attends red carpet events.

JACK NICHOLSON | 83

Jack Nicholson is one of the most respected actors in Hollywood. His career spanning over 60 years is a legendary one. He starred in different movies, leading an array of film genres that he could perfectly do so. With his great talent, he is said to be the most nominated male actor in the history of Academy award, having 12 nominations. He also won the prestigious award-giving body several times, totaling six wins. Jack was last seen in the 2010 movie How Do You Know. Although he has yet to officially announce his retirement, he is believed to have so.

He probably has a good fortune, letting him use his credit cards whenever he wanted. In case you didn’t know, Jack’s mother was a showgirl. Because of this, he grew up exposed to show business. When he came to Hollywood in 1954, he quickly got the hang of it. He started out as an office clerk in an animation company but knew from the start that acting was where he was headed. Thankfully, he trusted his instincts and look at where it got him!

SOPHIA LOREN | 85

Another living legend in her own right is Sophia Loren. Her acting and modeling career has inspired a lot of people from the early days until today. At 85, it cannot be denied that she still has it. Born Sofia Villani Sciocolone on September 20, 1934, the acting legend was a daughter to a piano teacher and a nobleman who was absent for most of her life. Because her mother was an aspiring actress, she, too, had a great interest in becoming a movie star early on.

Sophia started in the business by joining a pageant. At 16, she then began acting. She is one of the remaining stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. She has received a lot of accolades and credits, thanks to her exceptional talents. She was named the 21st greatest female star of Classic Hollywood Cinema by the American Film Institute in 1999, and the only living actress and the highest-ranked living person on the list.

ALAN ALDA | 84

Alan Alda is not just a great actor as he is also a director, screenwriter, and comedian. How talented of an actor is he? He just won six Emmy awards and Golden Globe awards. He perfectly portrayed his role as Jack Burroughs in the 1981 movie The Four Seasons and made an appearance in The West Wing, which helped him shot to prominence. In addition, he was also part of Crimes and Misdemeanor and wrote a few books. Yes, he’s an author, too.

Where does he get his versatility? We’re guessing it might be because Alda spent years of his young life traveling around America with his parents. His father was a performer, and his mother was a pageant queen. Soon, he, too, followed in his parents’ footsteps of being in the entertainment industry. Alan’s $40-million fortune only proves that he has a good money management skill. He’s not visible in the entertainment industry now, so he’s probably enjoying his much-deserved retirement.

BRIGITTE BARDOT | 85

Brigitte Bardot used to dream of being a ballerina star, but she ended up doing acting roles. With the fame she had attained, she never felt any regret for her decision. The 85-year-old actress has more than 40 movie credits to her name. She also tried to build a name in the music and modeling world—all at the same time.

With all the works she did when she was young, it was no surprised that she managed to accumulate a $65 million net worth that made her one of the wealthiest female role models of her time. The well-loved superstar retired in 1973 and instead turned her attention to more spirit-fulfilling things. She became active in her advocacy for animal rights and welfare, using her immense degree of influence to further causes and give out donations. If you ask us, she’s one true epitome of what it means to be beautiful both inside and out.

MAX BAER JR. | 82

Max Baer Jr. started his career on TV when he starred in Goldilocks and the Three Bears. From here, he was known professional for being part of Surfside 6 and The Beverly Hillbillies. When the show got canceled, he then ventured into movie production. He wrote and directed films, like Macon Country Line and Ode to Billy Joe. From the movie industry, Max transitioned to the gambling industry. Sadly, just like any business, he took the risk and experienced challenges with his investments. Anyhow, he is now retired and probably enjoying what’s left of his fortune. He probably has little savings for himself.

Like most stars, Max was exposed to the wonders of the limelight and heeded his calling at a very young age. His father was the professional boxing champion Max Baer, and his uncle was the actor and boxer Buddy Bear. He did not, however, pursue his father’s field and even took a degree in Philosophy when he went to college.

JANE FONDA | 82

Jane Fonda debuted in the Broadway play, There was a Little Girl, and captivated everyone with her good looks. Decades have passed; the 82-year-old star still looked incredibly beautiful, just like how she took everyone’s breath in her first public appearance. Not only that but she also quickly won an accolade, a Tony Award, for her first theater role. In a short while, she then became more famous when she did the movies Period of Adjustment, Cat Ballou, and Barefoot in the Park.

Aside from Tony Award, Jane also won seven Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and two Oscar Awards, to name a few. With her $200-million net worth, she probably has the proper insurance she needs when she retires. Everyone knows that Jane is a legacy. She is born to Frances Ford Seymour, a socialite, and Henry Fonda, a famous actor. Of course, it did not surprise anyone when she decided to pursue acting, too.

ROBERT REDFORD | 83

Robert Redford has been successful in everything he does—may it be acting, directing, producing, or making investments as a businessman. At the age of 83, Robert is already retired from the business. He probably also wanted to leave the entertainment industry while he is still known and famous.

His last movie was The Old Man and the Gun in 2018. But before he left, Robert left a legacy every actor wanted to follow. He had won several awards from prestigious award-giving bodies for his excellent performances. He also has a lot of contributions in the business, like founding the Sundance Film Festival. Other than his great cinematic legacies, Robert is also known for the kindness of his heart. He has championed a lot of advocacies, such as environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBT rights, and the arts. One of his core beliefs was that “art and nature combined make the world a better place.”

She then became a neutralized American citizen in 1949.

At the time, it seemed like fate was smiling down upon her because that monumental event in her life started paving the path to her eventual stardom. With her exceptional talent, it is no surprise that Ann earned five Golden Globe Awards. In addition to being an actress, the 79-year-old star is also a singer and a dancer. She also made an investment by releasing several hit songs and fast-selling albums. In her time in the business, she managed to accumulate a $20-million net worth, which is probably enough to prepare her for retirement life.

BOB BARKER | 96

Fans, both young and old, probably know Bob Barker as the host of the classic TV game show The Price is Right on CBS. The journey towards his prominence was not an easy one, though. Barker was not born affluent and was enlisted in the army to go off to the Second World War. It was in 1950 when he started working in the broadcasting industry and eventually found a love for hosting. Although he has been retired from the show for more than a decade, he is still best known for his time in the longest-running daytime game show in North American television history. In fact, he is an icon because of it.

In the later episodes, Bob started to end the show by reminding their audience to control the pet population by having their pets spayed or neutered. This showed his love of animals, which was followed by the series’ succeeding hosts, like Drew Carrey, Jack Barry, and Bert Convy. Credits to their effort, they help to change their viewers’ minds in caring for their pets.

PHILIP MICHAEL THOMAS | 70??

You’ll best remember Philip Michael Thomas as Detective Ricardo Tubbs on the 1980 hit TV series Miami Vice. He then hit further stardom when he appeared in the 1975 movie Coonskin and the 1976 film Sparkle opposite Irene Cara.

After these projects, he decided to retire from acting. With his more than 30 years in the business with a $2.5 million net worth, Philip surely has investments, like his psychic business. Where did his love for the craft start, though? It has been revealed that the now 70-year-old’s interest in acting began when he participated in his church’s stage productions and became an active member of their theater group. Admirably, Philip is still very much in love with the craft until now.

HARRY BELAFONTE | 93

Harry Belafonte is one of the most successful pop stars in history. Born Harold George Bellanfanti Jr., the singer had a housekeeper mother and a chef father. His parents were both Jamaican, and they carried their culture with them as they raised him. Obviously proud of his heritage, Harold makes it a point to inflect tinges of Jamaica in his musical work. He was named the King of Calypso during his time for making the Caribbean musical style famous all over the world in the 1950s. In fact, his breakthrough album, Calypso, which was released in 1956, was the first million-selling LP by a single artist at the time.

He is best known for “The Banana Boat Song,” credits to his signature lyric “Day-O.” Aside from that, he also sang and recorded many genres, and it was all equally successful. Harry also appeared in movies, like the hit musical Carmen Jones, Island in the Sun, and Odds Against Tomorrow. He then retired from performing in 2017.

JOHN ASTIN | 90

He is best known as Gomez Addams from the TV series The Addams Family (1964-1966). With his effective portrayal, he then reprised his role in the movie version Halloween with the New Addams Family in 1977 and even voiced the same character in the animated series The Addams Family in 1992-1993.

Aside from trademark character, he also has credits in movies West Side Story, That Touch of Mink, Move Over Darling, Freaky Friday, National Lampoon’s European Vacation, Teen Wolf Too, and The Frighteners. His first directorial film, Prelude, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. With all his accolades, how does he manage to make the best out of his different characters? “There’s something about the human being that can manifest greatness,” the actor once stated in an interview. His relentless belief in the goodness of humanity is what makes his portrayals effective and relatable.

BETTY LYNN | 93

You will probably remember Betty Lynn as Deputy Barney Fife’s girlfriend, Thelma Lou, on The Andy Griffith Show. She also appeared in several movies from the 1940s to 1950s, like Sitting Pretty, June Bride, Meet Me in Las Vegas, and the original Cheaper by the Dozen.

Lynn was born on August 29, 1926, in Kansas City, Missouri. Her mother, Elizabeth Ann Lynn, was a skilled musician who introduced her to music early on in her life. Elizabeth founded the Kansas City Conservatory of Music when Betty was only five. Clearly, the interest to perform really came from her mom. In 2006, Betty eventually retired and moved to Mount Airy, North Carolina, Andy Griffith’s hometown and where Mayberry was said to be based despite Griffith’s claims. Although she then started paying her own mortgage here, she commended the saying that the longer she lived there, the more she saw things where Griffith took inspiration from.

Her filmography isn’t the only abundant thing in her life because it seems like she’s had a lot of experience in love. Cora got married to Ivan Stauffer, a rancher from Nevada, in 1944. That marriage eventually ended, and she got married to James Morgan Cox in 1961. We guess that third time’s the charm, though. The celebrity once again tied the knot, this time with Harry Nace, who unfortunately passed away in 2002.

Born on August 15, 1936, in Bountiful, Utah, Priest had an interesting childhood. Her mother was the United States Treasurer for a time, so it was her signature that could be found on the money that circulated during that time. Priest and her mother lived in Washington D.C. back then because of her job. In the early days, Pat used to restore and sell homes in Idaho as part of her investments, but she is now also retired.
