These Legendary Stars You Forgot Are Still Alive & Kicking
Every now and then, you sit back on your couch and watch some old movie, which is even black and white maybe. How would you feel though if you knew that some of these iconic actors you see playing in these vintage films are still alive? Many of these stars helped shape the Golden Age of Hollywood, and even if most of them are now in their nineties, they take good care of their health, still looking glimmering. Others haven’t even retired, and a few wrinkles haven’t stopped them from acting. And while most people on this list are actors, there are some surprising entries that you wouldn’t want to miss!
Loretta Lynn, 86 Years Old
Loretta Lynn is considered to be country music’s absolute Queen—and she has multiple awards to prove this. Lynn has won both Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association accolades. In 2018, she was also named Artist of a Lifetime by CMT. Lynn currently has not done retirement planning as she also released a new record titled Wouldn’t It Be Great in 2018. Even if they faced numerous marital problems throughout the years, Lynn has only married once to Doolittle Lynn and they have 6 children together. Doolittle, who died in 1966, was the one who bought her her first guitar. And in case you didn’t know, Lynn was self-taught.
Jerry Lee Lewis, 82 Years Old
Jerry Lee Lewis was quite the bad boy during his life, but fortunately, he calmed down as he grew up. The rock n’ roll star has sold numerous records, and he has made a name for himself in the global music community. He faced several legal issues when he was younger, and believe it or not, his love life is a mess. We don’t know how he managed not to suffer from depression after seven marriages, but we guess it’s the ‘rock n’ roll genes’ that kept him strong after all.
Ali MacGraw, 81 Years Old
We would love to look like Ali MacGraw on our eighties, but for “mortals” like us, this would never be possible without cosmetic surgery. The iconic actress took part in many silver screen productions, though none of them has been as successful as Love Story, the movie which marked her career once and for all. Just like many other actors of her time, she’s a spokesperson for animal rights, and she once teamed up with PETA for a public announcement video.
Barbara Mandrell, 69 Years Old
Barbara Mandrell was a very popular country singer during the 1970s through 1980s. Some of her most popular singles were (If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want to Be Right, Sleeping Single in a Double Bed, and I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool. In the mid-1980s, Mandrell landed a long stay at the hospital after she was involved in a serious car crash. She has been retired since the late 1990s and chooses to live a peaceful life with her family these days. Her most recent release was a compilation album back in 2016 titled This Time I Almost Made It: The Lost Columbia Masters.
Ann-Margret, 77 Years Old
Who doesn’t remember the gorgeous redhead Ann-Margret? After decades in showbiz, both as an actress and as a singer, she has established herself as a true Hollywood A-lister, having starred in notable films such as Bye Bye Birdie and Viva Las Vegas. She was also romantically connected to the one and only Elvis Presley. Well, every woman then must have had a heart attack whenever they saw him, but Ann-Margret was the lucky one! The famous actress is now 77, and we’d love to know her secret about eternal beauty actually.
