The Stars From The ‘80s And ‘90s
BILL COSBY
Bill Cosby has established himself as one of the best comedians and actors of the ‘80s and ‘90s thanks to The Cosby Show. The show ran for a good two years and broke viewing records, sealing his fame in Hollywood. It ended in 1992 after it bowed down to its competition, The Simpsons. However, Cosby’s successful performance led to more high-rating projects like Night Court, Hill Street Blues, and Family Ties as well as the production of A Different World. It’s surprising that he ended up acting and producing since he has a degree in Education.
Unfortunately, Cosby’s career took a downward turn after his later films flopped in the box office. He did try to revive it with films like Ghost Dad, Jack, and the program, Cosby. However, things didn’t turn out so well for him. He later became embroiled in a harassment case and is now serving time. Hopefully, his investments are enough to support his family and keep them comfortable.
JALEEL WHITE
Jaleel White became a household name during the ‘80s after his portrayal of Steve Urkel in Family Matters. The actor, comedian, voice actor, and producer managed to grab the attention of the audience with his performance. In fact, he was only supposed to have a guest role but he was so good that it became a recurring role. What is White currently up to now? He is finding fatherhood to be his best role yet as he shows off his growing daughter on his social media page. As for the actor, he is looking great, too!
Although playing Steve Urkel propelled him to the limelight, White felt that it was only after the show ended that he became a bona fide actor. He was able to snag different roles for film and TV shows such as Dreamgirls, NCIS, CSI, and even voiced Sonic in the animated movie, Sonic the Hedgehog. White admitted that it was difficult to step out of the shadow of Urkel, but he remains thankful that the show has earned him plenty of investment money to take care of his family.
KELLIE SHANYGNE WILLIAMS
Family Matters alumna Kellie Shanygne Williams is doing quite well after the show ended. She remains a familiar face in Hollywood thanks to her performance in the ‘80s hit TV show. Aside from acting, the actress has also added being a producer to her roles. She is the co-producer of Christmas in Carolina where she is starring yet with another Family Matters co-star, Darius McCrary. Their onset chemistry in the ‘80s show blossomed into a friendship that they had maintained over the decades.
To their credit, they seem to bring back the same feel on the screen with their latest Christmas movie. Could there be a reboot or a reunion of their hit TV show in the works? Neither one is denying or confirming the rumors, but hopefully, they do get together as it was one of the shows that made a huge impact on their audience back then.
WESLEY SNIPES
Wesley Snipes is best known for the Blade trilogy, but the actor rose to fame during the ‘80s after he was cast in Michael Jackson’s music video of the song, Bad. However, it was his film debut in Wildcats that started his acting career. His other successful films include Major League, Passenger 57, The Marshals, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, and White Men Can’t Jump. These roles showed the actor’s versatility, which earned him more projects.
However, Snipes disappeared from the limelight after having trouble with the IRS. If he only had a reliable financial advisor, he probably wouldn’t be embroiled in a legal battle about his taxes. As a result, he was imprisoned for tax fraud. On a good note, he was released from prison after serving his time and is back to jumpstart his career. He will appear in Coming to America 2 with Eddie Murphy.
SYLVESTER STALLONE
The man behind the box office hit, Rocky, Sylvester Stallone has a stellar career in Hollywood. He has received numerous nominations and recognitions for his work on the franchise. Aside from appearing as a strong persona on film, he has also been working tirelessly on the director’s chair. He directed four of the sequels to Rocky and starred in them as well. During the ‘80s, he also appeared in yet another successful movie series, Rambo, where he played the lead and in its sequels.
Stallone’s other film credits were from Demolition Man, Cliffhanger, Judge Dredd, and Assassins where he starred alongside Antonio Banderas. Aside from being an actor, screenwriter, and director, he is also known as an art collector and has curated several art investments. Currently, he is still active in filming, and we might be seeing some new works soon enough.
LEONOR VARELA
Leonor Varela’s biggest break in Hollywood where she appeared in the movie, The Man in the Iron Mask, alongside Leonardo Di Caprio. She went on to make more films such as Jeremiah, Cleopatra, The Tailor of Panama, and Texas Rangers. Varela also took on the role of the vampire princess Nyssa in Blade II and had a recurring role in Arrested Development. These were just some of the projects that made her a familiar face in the industry.
What is the actress doing now? Motherhood is another role that the actress is doing quite well in. The former Dallas actress is expecting baby number two with her husband, producer Lucas Akoskin. She also has a 22-month-old son, which means that her family is growing nicely. Varela’s and her husband’s net worth are enough for their family and they probably have solid investment planning in place.
GAYLE KING
Gayle King is not only a degree holder from the University of Maryland, but she is also a well-known journalist. She has been working in the television industry for 18 years now and she is not about to retire anytime soon. Nowadays, King is juggling two jobs – working as a co-host of CBS This Morning as well as an editor-at-large of O, The Oprah Magazine. This is no mean feat for the celebrity as doing high-profile jobs can be time-consuming. What is her secret to success?
King admits that she used to look for ways to become more efficient in her jobs, and then, she learned how when she was working in a hamburger stand. She applied it to her two jobs, which is why she can shift from one to the other with ease. Lately, King is staying with her crew in Oprah Winfrey’s home, where they were doing a remote shooting, due to the current global situation. It is such a pleasure to see these two’s investments in their friendship flourish over time.
NAOMI CAMPBELL
Naomi Campbell was one of the most famous supermodels of the ‘90s. She was discovered when she was just 15 years old, and she was able to grace the cover of the British magazine Elle even before she turned 16. By the 1980s and 1990s, she is considered as one of the top 3 models across the globe and has gained supermodel stature. Outside of modeling, Campbell wrote several books and starred in films like Zoolander, I Feel Pretty, American Horror Story: Hotel, and Empire.
The supermodel’s career hit a wall when she was accused of assault several times. Although Campbell did not go to jail, she had to use some of her investment money to pay fines. Fortunately for her, she has a lot saved from her stellar career, but hopefully, she learned to curb her anger issues when dealing with her staff and the media. Nowadays, Campbell remains busy with her activism projects plus being a host and producer of The Face.
RON HOWARD
The Academy Award-winning filmmaker, Ron Howard, has been constantly producing some of the finest films since the ‘80s and ‘90s. The comedy films Night Shift and Splash were among Howard’s best films in the ‘80s, which was when he collaborated with his long-time partner in production, Brian Grazer. The two spent their investment money in creating Imagine Entertainment back in 1986 so they can produce films independently.
Howard has quite a career as a filmmaker, but he also acted, too. You would remember him in The Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days, and Arrested Development. However, he is still more notable for his filmmaking career. His work in Apollo 13 earned him a nomination as best director, but he was able to bring home an award for his work on A Beautiful Mind. The filmmaker remains active, but recently, he had to take a break due to the current global situation.
LAURENCE FISHBURNE
Laurence Fishburne has built quite the career for himself in Hollywood. Landing a role in the Mod Squad when he was just 12 years old, he followed his work with One Life to Live. He went on to act on screen, on television, and on stage and even lent his voice for movies. He was the narrator for the movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and voiced the Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Fishburne has taken on the persona of different characters for films and TV shows. You may have spotted him in CSI Miami, CSI New York, The Equalizer, and Spenser for Hire, just to name a few. The multi-awarded actor doesn’t seem to be finished with his acting career because aside from his stint in the Matrix trilogy, he is also part of the John Wick franchise where he is working with Keanu Reeves. To his credit, he remains to be one of the most sought-after actors both on film and on stage.
TYLER JAMES WILLIAMS
Tyler James Williams became a household name with his role in the hit TV sitcom, Everybody Hates Chris. The show was created by actor, Chris Rock, and Williams played the fictional version of Rock when he was a teenager. Let’s just say that it was a massive hit and the young actor pulled it off. When asked if there will be a reboot of the show, Williams said that the gang was quite busy with their own schedules, which is unfortunate for the show’s fans but a good thing.
Williams himself has continued his acting career as he appeared in Whiskey Cavalier and was in The Walking Dead where he created a bond with fellow actor Steven Yeun. He is working on The United States vs Billie Holiday and on CBS’ The Neighborhood. Williams won’t be leaving the entertainment industry any time soon, and hopefully, he has a financial advisor who can help him manage his earnings and grow his net worth.
PHYLICIA RASHAD
Phylicia Rashad earned the title of one of the best “moms” on television, which is not surprising given that she brought life to Clair Huxtable in The Cosby Show. This role propelled her to stardom as this was one of the highest-rated shows in the ‘80s until the ‘90s. After her stint in The Cosby Show, Rashad went back to perform on stage. She was awarded a Tony for the Best Leading Actress in a Play for her performance in A Raisin in the Sun. She also earned a nomination for This Is Us.
Rashad gave credit to Howard University, where she learned the arts, for training her to become a successful actor. Although she had difficulty breaking into the theatre scene, her landing the role of Clair Huxtable changed everything for her. She is currently a director, and nowadays, working for the revival of Blue.
TEMPESTT BLEDSOE
Tempestt Bledsoe’s performance in The Cosby Show was a great addition to the show, and it became her breakthrough role as well. After all, at just 11 years old, a lot of children felt that they could relate to her. Little did she know how big The Cosby Show would become over the years. It was also in the show where she found her partner, Darryl M. Bell, whom she is still with today. They probably would never need lawyers since they aren’t married. The couple had appeared in other shows together. They starred in the reality show Celebrity Fit Club, which helped her shed weight, and were in House Husbands of Hollywood, where they were the only ones who weren’t married.
Bledsoe reunited with her co-star Keisha Knight Pulliam in an episode in Guys with Kids much to the delight of their fans. She became low-key after her time in The Cosby Show but she remains active in the industry. With her successful career, she doesn’t have to worry about needing personal loans as she has a net worth of around $13 million.
LARENZ TATE
Larenz Tate doesn’t seem to age as his recent photos showed that the actor still looks like his younger self, even when he is already in his 40s. He has caught the attention of the public, not just for his looks, but also in his acting in Menace II Society. However, we all know that he rose to stardom thanks to his recurring role in The Cosby Show as well as in 21 Jump Street and The Wonder Years. He also landed a role in a Christmas episode for The Twilight Zone, which earned him more roles and sealed his career in Hollywood.
Tate has been known to portray legends like Quincy Jones and Frankie Lymon. He and his brothers spent their investment money to create their own production company called Tate Men Entertainment. He later posted a video on his Instagram account of himself saying thank you to those who have been sending him well wishes on his birthday.
REGINA KING
Regina King frequently appeared both on screen and on TV during the ‘80s and ‘90s, and she landed her breakout role in 227. She followed this up with a stellar performance in Boyz in the Hood. You might easily put a face to her name with the movie Jerry Maguire where she actually stole the scenes there. To her credit, she does have a strong presence on camera so it is hard to miss her. Her most recent work was in If Beale Street Could Talk.
King already has several films under her belt, and if you think she is slowing down, think again. The actress is putting quite a lot of investments in a new film called The Harder They Fall. She is also the director of the much-awaited film, One Night in Miami, which was shot last year.
TAMALA JONES
Tamala Jones is an American actress who is known for her roles in both film and TV. She has worked on over 45 Hollywood projects during her career. The brunette beauty was one of the icons during her time, credits to her unique and exotic looks and also to her authenticity in acting.
At 47 years old today, Jones still looks gorgeous and classy, not to mention that she was able to maintain her amazing physique. She opened up about her battle with a health condition a few years back and how lucky she was that she was able to survive it. She also opens about her exit from the hit TV show Castle, in which she was supposedly a cast member a couple of years ago. With her recent involvement and show of interest in the show business, it doesn’t look like Jones will be signing off from Hollywood anytime soon.
RUDY HUXTABLE (KESHIA KNIGHT PULLIAM)
Rudy Huxtable is a fictional character portrayed by Keshia Knight Pulliam. For someone who started her acting career at a very young age, she certainly had all of the investments needed to become a successful and uncorrupt child star. She first appeared on The Cosby Show, alongside Hollywood giant Bill Cosby, which ran from 1984 to 1992. It is undeniable that her character was one of the most iconic characters of all time. She also appeared in Madea Goes to Jail, Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, and Tempted By Danger.
Today, Pulliam is 41 years old and still very gorgeous. She is not the child actress that we have all seen in the show anymore; in fact, she has a baby now. Last year, the actress also got engaged. For her projects, she starred in Set It Off. It was a big year for Keshia, indeed!
YVETTE NICOLE BROWN
Yvette Nicole Brown is a host, actress, comedian, writer, and more. She started off her acting very young, and credits to her charm, talent, and guts that she was able to make it far in Hollywood. She was also a voice actress back when she was young. However, she is more popular for her roles on television. It wasn’t too long ago since we last saw Brown appear in a show. We are pretty sure that it won’t be too long before we see her act again.
The 49-year-old looks stunning and just as gorgeous as the day she first appeared on our screens. Aside from her brilliant performances, she also has a huge heart, specifically for people who are battling Alzheimer’s. In fact, she invested a lot of her time to help certain patients. For her personal life, the actress isn’t shy to talk about her love life or what dating is like for her. She is currently dating Zachary Levi.
DANNY GLOVER
The Danny Glover that we are about to talk about here is not the footballer but the veteran actor, political activist, and film director who received a lot of credits and accolades during his time – all of which was rightfully deserved. He has about a hundred projects in Hollywood, but he is mostly known for his role in the Lethal Weapon movies. Today, the 74-year-old is still very good friends with his long-time best buddy and co-actor Mel Gibson. He also opened up about the possibility of another sequel. He and Gibson gave statements about how they are both ready for it, although Glover’s anticipation is more on a revival.
We might not have heard from Glover for a long time, but it doesn’t mean that he has retired. He is still around but has transitioned to being a public speaker and producer. He also focused more on his family. He took a break from taking action movies, just like every other action star does, but you will still see him in red carpet events.
LENNY KRAVITZ
Lenny Kravitz is one of the most legendary musicians of all time, credits to his authenticity and great songwriting process. He is the former spouse of Lisa Bonet, and together, they are the parents of a new generation actress, Zoe Kravitz.
Kravitz has opened up recently about what it was like working for 30 years in the music industry. The 56-year-old icon said that he did whatever he had to do to keep up with his career – ignoring the haters and having a little fighting spirit from time to time. He said that he didn’t regret anything, even if he heard people personally say negative things about him. For him, it was their freedom to do so. Today, he is still active on social media and pretty much in Hollywood, too. He appeared in the part 1 and 2 of The Hunger Games films, which was a popular franchise a few years ago.
STEPHEN BALDWIN
Stephen Baldwin is obviously a member of the perfect Baldwin clan. Credits to him, his family name has reached a high status in Hollywood. Well, it’s also thanks to his DNA that he looks just as good as the rest of his family does, even today at the age of 54.
The actor, producer, director, and political activist is the father of Alaia and Hailey Baldwin, who is also known now as Mrs. Hailey Bieber. In the early 2000s, Baldwin was still active in the industry. These days, he is very much invested in his faith, becoming a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ. He constantly posts biblical quotes on his social media. The youngest among the Baldwin brothers, he is not frequently working on acting projects as he was before, but it doesn’t mean he has retired. He just has other things that he’s more interested in at the moment.
DAWNN LEWIS
American actress Dawnn Lewis first rose to fame due to her roles, mostly on television. Credits to her acting skills and charm, she later graced the big screen. She is also a musician, who is one of the genius minds behind the iconic theme song of the iconic sitcom A Different World. She became a.regular cast member of the TV show, which ran from 1987 until 1992.
Lewis was a part of more than 50 projects in Hollywood during her active years. Today, the 59-year-old award-winning actress is a happy parent to two children. She is also constantly honoring women in her social media accounts. Lewis may not be very active in making films now, but she stays on the radar. In fact, she will be returning, but not yet to Hollywood. A few years after her hiatus, the Guyanese-American beauty has decided that she would give Broadway another try. In fact, she is very excited about her return on stage.
MARISA TOMEI
The very beautiful award-winning actress Marisa Tomei ages like a fine wine. She is one of the most iconic actresses of her time, and her star hasn’t stopped shining ever since she started her career. She has received a lot of credits, recognition, and accolades from the past. With her brilliant performances, it’s not surprising she earns a lot of awards and nominations.
Today, the 56-year-old doesn’t even look a day over 40. She could easily fool us all with her youthful looks, which she probably maintains with a specific beauty regimen. She is also not planning to quit showbiz anytime soon as she has an upcoming movie – and this one is a big one. She will be one of the cast members of the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home. We are definitely bracing ourselves for yet another outstanding acting performance from Tomei. On top of all that, she is also a cast member of one of the biggest shows today, The Handmaid’s Tale.
LISA BONET
Lisa Bonet is one of the most iconic actresses of her time. She started her acting career really young, and we guess it’s safe to say that the people who made investments in her didn’t make a mistake at all. Lisa is easily one of the most beautiful women in the world, and she has exotic looks and a sense of style that is authentic.
Bonet and her former husband, music icon Lenny Kravitz, are the parents of the brilliant new generation actress Zoe Kravitz. Currently, she is married to the one and only Jason Momoa, and as we can all agree that Aquaman himself is head over heels for the 53-year-old beauty. He constantly gushes about his wife on social media and in interviews. Unfortunately, Bonet is not very active in showbiz these days, but it was just last year when one of the most sophisticated magazines in the world, Vogue, broke down her iconic Bohemian looks. She is truly an icon!
BARBARA MANDRELL
Barbara Mandrell is one of the most successful vocalists of her time. She practically dominated country music during the 1970s and 1980s. It seems her investments in being a musician, singer, songwriter, and TV personality were all worth it. On top of all this, she was part of The Mandrell sisters, and they were a famous clan in showbiz. A few years back, she discussed her career and she was very candid about how it was being a country singer during her time, which was when people weren’t exactly obsessed over country music then.
Currently, Barbara still looks beautiful and is spending her time with her family. She has been married to Ken Dudney since 1967, which is surprising, given that she is in show business. Their relationship is one of the rare gems in Hollywood that proved to us that true love does exist in the entertainment industry.
LAURA SAN GIACOMO
It is almost mysterious and impossible how award-winning actress and TV personality Laura San Giacomo still looks young at the age of 58. She is probably still glowing given that she had a bright career. She started acting when she was young, appearing in TV shows, TV series, films, and more. If you are wondering why this actress looks very familiar, it is because she was in one of the most popular movies of all time – Pretty Woman.
Today, her fans noticed that she hasn’t been working on any projects. We’re guessing 50 Hollywood projects were enough for now since she is currently taking a break from the spotlight. Well, with her successful career and investments, she can probably retire anytime soon – maybe do something else. In fact, aside from acting, she also entered the world of production and became an inspirational social media speaker.
RAQUEL WELCH
At nearly 80 years old, fashion and body icon Raquel Welch remains so stunning, credits to her positive and healthy lifestyle. She also has some beauty regimes to share, and if we’re lucky enough, we would probably be using this when we hit her age, too!
Welch is an actress and singer, who is practically the symbol of the ‘60s to ‘70s. She has nicknames such as “Miss La Jolla”, “Miss Fairest of the Fair”, and more – all of her nicknames are completely justifiable. We weren’t kidding when we said Welch doesn’t look like she is 80 years old. In fact, we know some people who say this often, and if you’ve seen her appearance on the Good Day Rochester last year, you’d know what we mean. Her youthful looks are just so different, preserved, and iconic. Even when she is not making films these days, she didn’t lose her class and poise.
ALI MACGRAW
Ali MacGraw is one of the most beautiful women in the world. She is constantly being compared to another Hollywood goddess, Brooke Shield, because of their eyebrows. People would do anything to get their eyebrows, then and now. She is also one of the most sought-after and in-demand actresses during her time, credits to her beauty and acting skills. If you didn’t know, she is best remembered for her performance in the timeless film Love Story.
Today, the American actress has turned 82 years old. She is not active in show business right now, instead, she has chosen a different path for her golden years. She wanted to focus on her family and helping others. She became an activist and philanthropist, who has hosted several charity works. MacGraw is also a very proud mother, her son with Robert Evans, Josh Evans.
LYNDA CARTER
Speaking of all things wonder, our next subject is none other than the first and original Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter. She is an iconic actress, model, singer, songwriter, and former beauty queen. We guess the movie franchise likes to put their investments in beauty queens since the next in line to Carter who played the goddess Diana is also a beauty queen herself. Gal Gadot never misses an opportunity to honor her in any way she can, mostly on social media.
Carter is now 69 years old, and she still looks very stunning. Her fan base keeps expanding over the years, with her daughter, Jessica Altman, being her number one fan. Recently on the Today show, the mom and daughter discussed making music together and we just can’t get any more excited! Jessica is her mini-me, who can’t stop gushing over her wonder mom, just like the rest of us.
GLADYS KNIGHT
Singer, songwriter, and author Gladys Knight, otherwise known as “The Empress of Soul,” had her fair share of investments in businesses, too, which actually paid off. She has ventured into the world of business and is currently focused on her companies.
However, aside from being a businesswoman, Knight is one of the most iconic singers in history. She has provided some of the most rewarding and beautiful songs of all time, such as The Makings of You, I Heard It Through the Grapevine, Midnight Train To Georgia, and Missing You. The diva is about to turn 77 years old but she could fool us all since we would believe her if she would say that she is just 50 years old. She had her fair share of health issues, which is why she is not active in making music anymore.
BARBI BENTON
Barbi Benton is a retired model, TV personality, actress, and singer songwriter. She rose to fame after appearing several times on the iconic Playboy magazine. She also spent most of her career getting acting credits on television shows like The Love Boat and Fantasy Island.
Today, the 71-year-old mother of two remains very radiant and beautiful. She is not on any shows at the moment, preferring to enjoy her hobbies and spend time with her family instead. Just recently, she shared how she decorated her house down to the tiniest detail. It is a medieval yet modern inspired themed house with a very specific and unique twist: disco. Yes, you read that right. She has a disco-themed grand foyer in her very expensive house. She designed the furniture for the house too. Every inch and corner of her home is a symbol of her eclecticism.
LINDA KOZLOWSKI
Linda Kozlowski is one of the most iconic actresses of her time. She has appeared in more than one of the iconic movies Crocodile Dundee. She received a lot of credits, awards, and nominations during the peak of her career. She stays stunning and beautiful at the age of 63.
Kozwloski likes to spend her free time bonding with family and friends, but sometimes she prefers to have an alone time. Over the last 20 years, she slipped out of the Hollywood radar and has been up to a few things that truly interest her. She didn’t just sit around. She has a few charity works and even appears on red carpet events every once in a while. Still, the actress has made it loud and clear that her retirement is final and she is not coming back to the screen for good.
VICTORIA PRINCIPAL
We all knew and loved the award winning and multiple time nominee Victoria Principal in the iconic TV show Dallas. The actress, author, and businesswoman, who is a two-time Golden Globe nominee, also put her investments towards production. During her active years, she was very well in demand and served as an inspiration to many women both in terms of fashion and beauty.
Today, the 71-year-old continues to write books and produce. She hasn’t appeared on our screens and for good reason too. It turns out that production and books aren’t the only things the actress has been occupied with. She had to leave her acting career 40 years ago to establish her own skincare company. This explains her stunning glow too! With youth preserved as well as hers, women her age would be falling in line to grab her products.
PAULEY PERRETTE
Pauley Perrette is a singer and civil rights advocate. She also dabbles in writing, and from what we’ve witnessed so far, she is pretty good at it. Today, the 52-year-old brunette has already published several books under her name. Her books are mostly about food and loved ones. She had such a great role as the forensic scientist Abby Sciuto in one of the world’s most viewed TV shows of all time, NCIS. It’s also one of the longest running TV shows of all time.
The actress eventually decided to quit after 15 years on the show. What a shame, especially since Perrette has an actual background in criminal justice. She even has a master’s degree in criminal science! Since leaving NCIS, the actress has gone on to star in the short-lived sitcom Broke. Following the show’s cancellation, Perrette announced her retirement from acting.
COTE DE PABLO
Cote De Pablo is a Chilean American actress and singer. She started acting when she was young. She even studied acting prior to starting her career. Her achievements in acting have turned her into a role model and the true pride of Chile. She inspires the entire community of Hispanic Latinas to bravely pursue their passions in life.
The 41-year-old is looking just as stunning, sexy, and posed as the day we first saw her. Well, to be honest, she looks better now and continues to be one of the prettiest faces in Hollywood. The actress is famously known for her portrayal of Ziva David in NCIS, where she was a main cast member for eight seasons. Currently, De Pablo has a recurring role on the show. She recently appeared in the film Seneca and produced the TV show MIA.

However, there haven’t been any retirement rumors from the actress herself.
Regardless of her plans, she deserves all the praise for looking positively happy and still so beautiful. Nowadays, even when she isn’t active under the spotlight anymore, all people can talk about is her iconic love story with her husband and co-star Sam Eliott. They are one of the most iconic celebrity couples of all time. They proved to us that true love can exist in Hollywood since they have been married since 1984 and are only getting stronger.
BARBARA EDEN
Barbara Eden is an actress, singer, and model. The 89-year-old blonde is best known for her roles on television. During the 1960s to the 1970s, she landed an iconic role as the titular character in I Dream of Jeannie. She surely knows how to make wise investments since she is currently a businesswoman.
In 2018, she had a sit down with several interviewers about how she is doing today. The actress simply said she had to take a step back from acting because of her age. It was just last year, as she turned 88 years old, that the iconic actress was photographed in honor of her brilliant performances. She looked just as glamorous as ever while she was also on her way to attending a red-carpet event that same day. She had put on a pair of dangling earrings and a smile that can light up an entire room.
LINDA EVANS
Linda Evans is one of the classiest actresses of all time. She is famous for her roles on television during the 1960’s. She also has investments on production which turned out quite all right. At the age of 78, she looks just as radiant and dashing with silver hair and gorgeous smile.
She has published several books mostly about recipes, life, family, and love. In 2017, she had been caught in a rather tough and challenging moment of her life. She handled it all with strength and courage, with a lot of help from her loved ones and friends. There are not many Hollywood projects for the iconic actress right but that doesn’t change the fact she is iconic. During her golden years, she just enjoys living healthy and staying in good shape. According to the actress, it is important to feel good about one’s self no matter how old we get.
ELIN NORDEGREN
Elin Nordegren entered the world of modeling before landing a job as a nanny, which was how she met her former spouse, the legendary golfer Tiger Woods. Thanks to this stunning blonde’s healthy lifestyle, she stays looking incredibly young even at the age of 41.
Nordegren got her college degree in 2014, many years after her separation form Woods. She said it was one of her biggest dreams to finish school and she did it all on her own. It was also around the time when she and Woods became friends again. Apparently, he wanted their kids to see that their parents respected each other. She was also already healing from their separation, which made it easier for her to rebuild her friendship with him. In 2019, the former model shocked the world by welcoming baby boy with her boyfriend Jordan Cameron.
MARIE OSMOND
Marie Osmond is multi talented actress, philanthropist, author, and singer.

He starred alongside Julia Roberts in both films and established himself as one of Hollywood’s go-to leading men.
Over the years, Gere has proven his versatility as an actor rather well. In 2002, he received much credit for his role in the musical film Chicago. Along with the rest of the cast, they received a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for their performance. He has taken some time off acting, and his most recent role was in 2019 for MotherFatherSon.

Tiger Woods is regarded by many as one of the greatest golfers in the history of the sport. The athlete turned professional at the age of 20 and, just a year after, managed to win three PGA Tour events. Needless to say, his climb to the top of the world rankings was a surprising one, and he quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with when it came to golf. He became one of the most famous athletes of the 90s and early 2000s.
However, Woods experienced setbacks during the next decade of his career, leading to his 2009 hiatus. While he might have fallen when it came to the work world rankings, the degree of his popularity and skill hardly diminished. After his break, he quickly made his way back up and still holds numerous golf records to this day.

JASON STATHAM
English actor Jason Statham is one of today’s most famous “action stars.” He is a staple in the genre and is the go-to actor in portraying anti-hero characters. Before landing roles in some of the industry’s biggest productions, however, Statham had to do plenty of money management while working at the local market in Derbyshire. During this time, he was also training as a national athlete.
It was this that led to opportunities outside of sports. Following Jason’s appearance at the 1990 Commonwealth Games, he received modeling contracts from high-profile brands like Levis, French Connection, and Tommy Hilfiger. Later on, director Guy Ritchie cast him in the films Snatch, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. However, his performance as Frank Martin in The Transporter trilogy really cemented his reputation in Hollywood. Today, Jason is among the most highly-regarded actors in the industry, and with good reason.

He is also the former president of basketball operations for the Los Angeles Lakers and became known as the greatest point guard of all time. He played for 13 seasons with the Lakers and was the first selection during the 1979 NBA draft, thanks to all the championships he had won while playing for his high school and college teams. His record is simply astounding. Johnson has won three MVP awards, twelve All-Star games, nine NBA Finals appearances, and ten All-NBA First and Second Team nominations.
Since Johnson retired from the sport, he has placed most of his investments toward his advocacies. He has also worked as a motivational speaker, broadcaster, and entrepreneur, making him an even more influential public figure.

Thanks to his impressive lyricism, impact on the industry, and achievements, Eminem is largely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Though he started as one of the more controversial artists, he quickly grew his artistry, which made him stand out from the rest. With some help from his financial advisor, the rapper also established his own label, Shady Records.
Over the years, he has also collaborated with some of this generation’s most prominent artists, including the likes of Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Missy Elliot, Nicki Minaj, Kid Rock, Rihanna, and Method Man. Although Eminem is no longer as active as he used to be, his impact and influence linger in today’s music.
ICE CUBE
Born O’Shea Jackson, Ice Cube is one of the industry’s top rappers, actors, and filmmakers. When it comes to investment planning, he has been hard at work since the 1990s. Ice Cube started as a rapper, and his 1988 album Straight Outta Compton helped with popularizing gangsta rap’s popularity. His follow-up releases, which contained political rap, were also commercially and critically successful. He debuted as an actor in 1991, after featuring in John Singleton’s Boyz in the Hood. In 1995, he co-wrote and even starred in the film Friday, which changed his image to a friendlier one.
Music and acting certainly weren’t enough for his innate creativity. In 1998, he made his directorial debut through the film The Player’s Club. One of his most recent projects and, perhaps, one of his memorable, would be the 2015 biopic Straight Outta Compton.
WAYNE GRETZKY
Wayne Gretzky is a former pro ice hockey player who spent over 20 seasons playing for the National Hockey League from 1979 to 1999. He earned the nickname “The Great One” over the years and has received recognition from both fans and sports insiders to be among the greatest players in Hockey history. The degree of impact Wayne has had on Hockey is simply impressive. In fact, he holds the record for the most assists, goals scored, and points scored in NHL history. Gretzky is also the only player to have scored over 200 points in a single season. It was undoubtedly a significant loss to the industry when he retired in 1999.
Post-retirement, Gretzky was named chairman of the Open Ice Summit. He was also inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1999, bypassing the three-year waiting period following an athlete’s retirement.

As an actress, she debuted in the 2000 film Turn It Up, alongside Jason Statham. She also appeared in the rom-com The Fighting Temptations, which also starred Beyoncé Knowles and Cuba Gooding Jr. We’re sure Evans will never need loans in this lifetime, so it’s heartwarming to learn that she is also active when it comes to charity work. There’s no news yet about the artist’s upcoming projects, but we bet her fans are anticipating it.
