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.

Brigitte Bardot – 86

When Brigitte Bardot was a little girl she had dreams of being a famous ballerina. When she grew a little older though, she decided acting was what she wanted to pursue. And we’re glad she did! Brigitte became an amazing actress and appeared in over 40 movies during her career! She also did some modelling and singing alongside her acting. During her prime, it became obvious that her and fellow Hollywood star Sophia Loren were butting heads. They became rivals in the industry, especially since they were both beautiful, talented and the exact same age. Brigitte was incredibly successful and built herself a net worth of $65 million. Since retiring, Brigitte lives a more subdued life out of the bright lights of Hollywood and spends her time petitioning for animal rights.

Alan Alda – 84

Alan Alda is yet another actor we’ve discussed who appeared in the series M*A*S*H. He is known for playing the character Captain Hawkeye Pierce. His popularity rose again when he landed a role in The West Wing. His good looks didn’t go a miss either. He then went on to host the TV show Scientific American Frontiers, which he did for an incredible 15 years. Over his career he won 7 Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe, among others. His work on television, as well as his work as a director and a writer, helped him to earn a wealth of $40 million over the years. Now at age 84, he enjoys charity work and appears on screens every now and again.
