If you’ve been around long enough, then you’ve surely enjoyed heaps of movies, TV shows, and songs from the Golden Age of Hollywood up to the ’70s and ’80s. Do you ever wonder what happened to the actors who gave life to your favorite characters and singers who performed the now-nostalgic songs? If the answer is yes, then you’re in the right place.
We have curated a list of 50 stars who are still alive and kicking, and most of them have passed their 70-year milestone. Nonetheless, you’d be surprised to learn who among them are still active in their careers and how much they have got going on in their lives!
Max Baer Jr. – 1937
If you have watched The Beverly Hillbillies, Max Baer Jr.’s face is one that you cannot forget. He was only in his twenties when he first came on the show, and it’s pretty hard to believe that it’s been so long because he’s 82 now. But following Donna Douglas’s passing in 2015, Baer Jr. is the only remaining main cast member alive.
Even though he has barely been on the screens since Murder, She Wrote in 1991, Baer Jr. did make a comeback in 2020, appearing as himself on Jay Sebring…. Cutting to the Truth. He has also been keen on the gambling industry for years.
Connie Stevens — 1938
If you think back on the early years of Connie Stevens’s career, you may recall that she attracted a lot of attention on the Hawaiian Eye TV series. However, her career has seen much greater heights since then, with roles in Grease 2 and Tapeheads, among others.
Did you know that Stevens also had a decent music career that saw the release of nine studio albums and 20 singles? Despite being 82, she hasn’t stopped acting. She even played Meredith in the 2019 film By the Rivers of Babylon. Her children with the late actor Eddie Fisher, Joely, and Tricia Fisher, have also followed their parents’ footsteps.
