Celebrities come and go over the years, and we often forget about stars we used to love and idolize at one time during our lives. Sometimes, we even regard them as ‘dead’ if we haven’t heard about them in a while! However, you may be surprised to hear that some of the greatest actors, singers and other well-known public personalities are still very much alive and kicking! That’s why we’ve come up with this list to figure out who is still working or enjoying life in the next chapter of their lives – in retirement.

Elinor Donahue – 83

The 83 years old Elinor Donahue is best known for her act in the 1950s sitcom, Father Knows Best as Betty Anderson.

She has acquired a $20 million net worth over the years, but is still adding to the fund today as she continues to act to this day! Not much has been heard of her recently though, but she has always had a more quiet and subdued life compared to others in the industry.

Tommy Cook – 90

Another successful child actor was Tommy Cook, who not only was handsome, but he also boasted a very beautiful voice.  In the ’50s, he offered his services United States Marine Corps as a corporal. He then worked on radio stations and he also ventured into acting, even lending his voice to many animated series of his time, like the popular The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure.  Cook disappeared from the industry in the early ’70s, but he probably never required a home loan, as he had several acting credits by then.
