Most people spend their lives working so that they can retire comfortably. Then there are these celebrity superstars, most of whom are retirement age or have retirement level acclaim and continue making waves. Most of them have incredible net worth, so it’s not about the money.

Some of them do it for the love of it. Others because they need to keep busy, while some just can’t stand the idea of retiring. Whatever the case may be, just in case you thought the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Ben Kingsley have disappeared off the face of the earth, here you’ll find what they, and many more, are up to.

Elaine Lordan – Age 55

After years of being away from the spotlight, the retired British actress Elaine Lordan was snapped by the paparazzi enjoying a jog in town. Fans of the former superstar were happy to see she looked healthy and in good shape. Lordan’s condition was pretty much a mystery for more than ten years, as she’s virtually disappeared since quitting show business in 2008.

Before retiring, though, Lordan was popularized by her work in “Gimme Gimme Gimme,” “EastEnders,” and “Miracles Take Longer.” She also appeared briefly in shows such as “Wish Me Luck,” “No Frills,” “The Paradise Club,” and “Play for Today.”
