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!
Robert Redford — 1936
To say that Robert Redford is a skilled actor would be an understatement because he is beyond that. The legendary actor is still popularly remembered for portraying the Sundance Kid in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He is also a well-off entrepreneur, having founded the Sundance Film Festival.
Redford officially announced his retirement in 2018 and left with a bang after starring in The Old Man & the Gun. These days, he seems to be making a living out of producing. It’s not like he needs more money as he is already worth $200 million at the age of 84.
Robby Benson – 1956
Guess what? The American former teen idol Robby Benson is still active in show business and continues to be one of the best voice actors around. In recent years, he’s been busy working on movies such as “Apple Seed” and collaborating with video games such as “Kingdom Hearts II” and “Kinect Disneyland Adventures.”
To this day, though, Benson’s best known for two things: for starring as a teenage star in ’70s sports movies such as “One on One” and for voicing the character of the ‘Beast’ in the acclaimed animated Walt Disney feature “Beauty and the Beast” (as well as its sequels and spin-offs).
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.
