Celebrities You Thought Are Long Gone But They’re Not Retiring Just Yet

TrendingJanuary 25, 2022

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.

Sophia Loren – 83

Italian-born Sophia Loren began her career in the entertainment industry as a model. Her first experience as a model was at the age of just 15, when she participated in a beauty pageant. The same year, 1950, she then decided to start a career as an actress. Her career really took off just 6 years later when she signed a contract with Paramount Pictures at age 21. Throughout her successful career, Sophia appeared in many, many movies and productions including It Started in Naples and The Pride and The Passion, and her impressive work amounted to a $75 million net worth. Now at age 83, we occasionally see the superstar at some red carpet events, but on a day-to-day basis she lives a quieter life out of the spotlight that was once shining bright upon her.

Loretta Lynn – 88

With a career stretching as far back as the ‘60s, over 60 albums released, and more than a dozen Academy of Country Music Awards won, Loretta Lynn is rightfully one of America’s sweethearts. Her first album was released in 1963, Loretta Lynn Sings, and her latest, in 2018, Wouldn’t It Be Great. She was born in Kentucky back in 1932, meaning that she’s 88 years old by now, and surprisingly active! As a matter of fact, within 2020, she had her statue revealed in the Ryman Auditorium Icon Walk and participated at the Merle Haggard: Salute to A Country Legend TV Special.

Richard Dean Anderson – 70

Anyone who’s lived through the ‘80s and ‘90s knows Richard Dean Anderson all too well. After all, that was when he was starring in series like the original MacGyver, and Stargate SG-1. Today, with the series’ reboot being such a success, we can’t help but wonder what Richard’s been up to these years. It turns out that he hasn’t acted since 2013 when he did an episode of Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23. He is 70 years old right now and living between Vancouver and Malibu while enjoying his retirement with his $30-million fortune.

Lee Majors first entered the world of Hollywood in the 1960’s, but it wasn’t until 10 years later in 1970’s that he rose to true stardom. This is when he began to play the role of Steve Austin in the TV series The Six Million Dollar Man. His good looks and his stunning personality sure helped him to become a very popular actor with talent scouts and fans alike. His personal life however, proved to be a little rocky since he got divorced a total of three times. Although he probably could be worth more if he hadn’t divorced so many times, he still managed to build a net worth of $15 million. He is now happily married to Faith Majors, who is wed in 2002.
