Celebrities come and go over the years, and we often forget about stars we used to love and idolized at one time during our lives. Sometimes we even regard them as passed away if we haven’t heard from them in a while! However, you may be surprised to hear that some of the greatest actors, singers, politicians and other celebrities are still very much alive and kicking! Check out who is either still working or is already enjoying life as retired men and women—and perhaps discover something interesting that you never knew about them.
Kate Jackson – 72
Kate Jackson was amongst the most popular actress in the 80’s. She is mostly known for her role as Sabrina Duncan in cult TV series ‘Charlie’s Angels’, but she was let go by the producers out of nowhere. Duncan then acted in some notable TV series, such as ‘Criminal Minds’ and ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch’. Some would say she moved on to greener pastures! In 2010, it was announced by Gallery Books that they had a contract with Jackson for her to publish her memoirs. The book has been delayed continuously, with the latest reschedule date being two days before 2021.
Clu Gulager – 90
Acting was always in Clu Gulager’s DNA, as his father was also in the industry. Gulager’s best years were in the ’60s when he played Billy the Kid in ‘The Tall Man’. His film credits are also impressive, appearing in amongst the decade’s most iconic films such as ‘The Last Picture Show’. Gulager tried his hand at directing to great success, as his film ‘A Day with The Boys’ granted him a Palme d’Or nomination in 1969. He also won the Bronze Wrangler Award for Best Fictional Television Drama for The Virginian.
Keith Thibodeaux – 70
Not only is Keith Thibodeaux the adorable little boy known as Little Ricky from ‘I Love Lucy’, he also holds the pedigree of being the only living member of the cast today. After the conclusion of the sitcom, Keith went on to play in a rock band, David and the Giants. In 1976, he married a former ballerina and together they have a daughter who has now followed in her mother’s footsteps. Producer Desi Arnaz changed Keith’s name to simply ‘Keith’ because his Cajun French surname was plainly too difficult to pronounce.
