Celebrities Of The Golden Era That Are Still Alive & Kicking – Some Of Them Haven’t Planned Retiring Anytime Soon!

Alan Dershowitz – Now 83

If a celebrity lawyer has received the media treatment like no other, it’s probably the one and only Alan Dershowitz. Playing the devil in the courtroom mostly as a criminal appellate lawyer, Alan has been the go-to option for big-name celebrities including Mike Tyson and Julian Assange.

For Alan, being a lawyer was not the end of the line in his career, so he tried his hand at being a Harvard professor too. After his successful run in academia, Alan now often features on television and has become a renowned media personality. His presence in the limelight even at 83 years old only goes to show that age is just a number.

Alan Dershowitz – Now 83

Kelly McGillis – Now 64

Since the late ’70s, Kelly McGillis has been winning the hearts of her audiences with her on-screen brilliance. Fans have adored this diva co-starring with Hollywood biggies like Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, and Jodie Foster. Also, the theatergoers of the early 2000s can perhaps never forget unmatched stage appearances in plays like ‘Don Juan’ and ‘The Duchess of Malfi.’

A winner of several precious accolades, including a BAFTA and a Golden Globe, Kelly now prefers to stay out of the limelight. Family-time is the ‘Made in Heaven’ star’s sole priority now, as she loves spending time with her two daughters in their North Carolina home.

Julie Goodyear – Now 79

Julie Goodyear was diagnosed with cancer shortly after being cast for a permanent role on Coronation Street. While the actress never publicly talked about her illness until she had fully recovered, her frequent absenteeism from the show soon began raising questions among fans.

A year after leaving the program in 1995, Goodyear was honored with a Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and she pursued other interests, including radio DJing and reality TV. Besides her contribution to film and British soap operas, this star is mainly remembered for her bold style and warm personality on Celebrity Big Brother.

Cassandra Peterson – Now 69

The always smiling, jolly-natured actress Cassandra Peterson is about to touch her 70s, but she doesn’t look a day over 50. She’s fit as a fiddle and still young at heart! The living legend is best known as the gothic queen for her portrayal of Elvira in Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, though she works actively as a voice artist now.

You might find it surprising, but the celeb has lent her voice in several video games, the film Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island and the TV series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Cassandra is about to release her autobiography, and we can’t wait to get a deeper insight into the actress’s life!

Michael French- 58

Michael French knew early in life that acting was what he wanted to do. After years of actively participating in school productions, the star landed his first paying acting gig at 22, with a local theatre in London. He finally got his major break on BBC’s soap opera, EastEnders.

French has since been on multiple shows, with his last appearance being on 2014’s musical, The Sound Of Music, as Captain Von Trapp. He has yet to make an official retirement announcement, so we hope the entertainer will be returning to our screens soon, as he is only in his late fifties.

Robert Wagner – 91

Robert Wagner became mildly famous when he worked with 20th Century Fox for the film Halls of Montezuma. This became a turning point for the up-and-coming star, who was struggling to make it big. The project was followed by a few more roles that boosted the actor’s popularity in the acting circles.

It was with A Kiss Before D***g that the actor officially declared he is ready to take over. Having now worked for decades in the entertainment industry, Robert has become one of the most acclaimed artists in the history of American cinema, and it’s not hard to guess why.
