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!
Richard Dean Anderson – 1950
Richard Dean Anderson is an American actor and producer born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1950. He began his television career in 1976 when he was merely 26 years old, playing Jeff Webber in the soap General Hospital.
Later on, Anderson appeared in films such as Pandora’s Clock and Firehouse. His last appearance was in the 2013 sitcom named Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23. Since it has been a while since the 70-year-old was last active, his fans are looking forward to his next appearance.
Eric Clapton – 1945
Eric Clapton, the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is a British musician known for his exceptional guitar skills. He made a name for himself as a solo artist, releasing songs like Wonderful Tonight singer, and as part of The Yardbirds and Cream bands.
Clapton is 75 years old now, with a career spanning almost six decades. However, he is still active as a musician, having released his latest studio album Happy Xmas in 2018. It may be time for Clapton to retire, though, after revealing that he has a hearing disorder during a BBC interview in the same year.
Johnny Briggs- 1935
The handsome English actor Johnny, born John Ernest Briggs, was followed by fans for almost seven decades before his retirement in 2012. He spent three of those decades acting on the British soap opera Coronation Street; talk about prolific! Besides this long-running show, Briggs was also known for Thick as Thieves and Crossroads; this talented gent was all over.
Today Johnny divides his time between North Somerset, England, and Florida- obviously because the guy is an enthusiastic golfer. Apart from keeping him in good shape, the outdoor hobby probably keeps him entertained as well.
