Celebrities You Thought Are Long Gone But They Are Not Planning Their Retirement Just Yet

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.

Peggy Stewart is a great American actress who is most well-known for her work in many Western films during the 1940’s. The Florida-native began acting when she started working with the company Republic Pictures. Soon after signing with them, she managed to land roles in some really great Western films including the likes of Ride, Ryder Ride, and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. And her career didn’t end there. In more recent years she has played roles in other movies such as The Runaways and That’s My Boy. Her work as a Hollywood actress has earned her a great $18 million fortune. Although she in her 90’s, she does still take on some guest roles on TV shows every now and again. But she mostly relaxes and enjoys her old age.

Well, although he is 91 years of age, Brooks is still going strong with his acting and according to him, he doesn’t plan to stop any time soon! He is set to appear as a voiceover in Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation this year, and is in the midst of filming another movie set to be released in 2019.

Brooks has a son with his late wife Anne Bancroft, named Max who followed his father’s footsteps in the Hollywood industry, and is said to be making a name for himself there. He is also an avid writer.
