Hollywood’s Golden Age Stars who are Still Alive and Inspiring Fans

Many people have repeatedly demonstrated that age is merely a number. A growing number of celebrities from many entertainment fields are approaching their 90th birthday. Some have even surpassed the century mark. It is incredible to watch them still marching on after all of their work at the peak of their career investments. Indeed, some people’s careers are still going strong. On the other hand, others may choose to live a quieter, more enjoyable existence. Regardless, these celebs in their 70s and beyond continue to dazzle admirers.

Even though they have been in the spotlight for a long time, you might be surprised to hear that some of your favorite celebrities are still alive. They are still here to see the influence of their legacies after all these years.

Angela Lansbury – 1925

One of Hollywood’s most enduring icons from the Golden Age, Angela Lansbury continues to work every day. She is an unintended role model for living one’s older years with unlimited imagination and style at the age of 96.

She got her first Oscar nomination at 19 and earned her standing as a Commander of the British Empire. Indeed, her life has been full of outstanding credits. Lansbury is so unique that she has not one but two stars on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. The roles in which she impacted were often more significant. While her quaint New York apartment is modest, her illustrious career, including films such as The Manchurian Candidate and Murder, She Wrote, has been anything but incredible.

 Virginia Patton – 1925

Only one of the adults in the cast of It’s a Wonderful Life is still alive. The film was released 74 years ago, after all. Virginia Patton, who played Georgia Bailey’s sister-in-law Ruth Dakin Bailey in the film, is still alive at 96. She spoke with the National Catholic Register years ago about her time on set and her choice to leave her Hollywood investments in 1949 to raise her family in Michigan.

Before venturing into the screen, Patton worked at the University of Michigan Museum of Art as a docent. After It’s a Wonderful Life, Patton acted in a few more films before giving up acting to pursue her desire of establishing a family. She knew she’d made the proper choice.

Margaret O’Brien – 1937

Margaret O’Brien was known for her endearing youthful attitude. She struggled to make the shift from kid to adult star. Her prominent degree progressed slowly with her appearance in Heller In Pink Tights.

O’Brien shifted her focus away from Hollywood and toward her family, putting her sole attention on her spouse and daughter. She continued to make minor public appearances and conduct interviews regularly. Her last public appearances were on floats in the Los Angeles Christmas Parade in the early 1980s. In 1981, she made a cameo appearance in the film Amy. Now, she’s one of the last surviving stars from Hollywood’s Golden Age. The former child actress has nothing but fond recollections of growing up on the MGM property during the studio’s peak.

Kathryn Beaumont – 1938

Kathryn Beaumont voiced Alice in the 1951 Disney animated feature film Alice in Wonderland and Wendy Darling in the subsequent 1953 Disney animated feature film Peter Pan. In the video game Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, she also provided the voice of Kairi’s grandmother.

She also portrayed Alice and Wendy in live-action specials such as One Hour in Wonderland and The Walt Disney Christmas Show and promoted the films. In 1998, Beaumont was honored with a Disney Legend Award. She played Alice and Wendy in most of their subsequent appearances until 2005, when she retired from performing. Hynden Walch took up the credits of Alice and Wendy. We last heard her voice in Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, released in 2013.

 Janis Paige – 1922

Janis Paige is best known for playing Catherine “Babe” Williams in the musical The Pajama Game. She has a fantastic comedy gift that she has used to entertain audiences for over six decades.

Though her film career got off to a good start with a role in Of Human Bondage in 1946, she soon found herself in a succession of B-musicals starring Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson, or both. Alternatively, she starred as the dame in action movies. She’d had enough of Hollywood after Two Gals and a Guy in 1951. Elsewhere, Paige’s third and longest marriage was to Disney composer Ray Gilbert, songwriter of Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah. He left Paige in charge of his Ipanema Music Company. Now at 99, Paige is reaping the seeds of her investments.

 Ann Blyth – 1928

One of Ann Blyth’s most well-known roles was the shrewish Veda Pierce in Mildred Pierce. Blyth shines as a breathtaking beauty and talent in her body of work across all genres. She devoted herself to the characters she played, regardless of the quality of the picture, and as a result, has made her degree in American cinema.

Blyth occasionally sings in concert, although she has long since retired from acting. She can’t recall when she wasn’t working in the entertainment industry. She worked for six years on children’s radio shows in New York before being cast in Lillian Hellman’s drama Watch on the Rhine. Her agency recognized her potential for more significant parts and approached Warner Bros. for the role of Veda.

Marsha Hunt – 1917

Marsha Hunt lived through the golden age of Hollywood and then the golden age of live television, and she is now 104 years old. She lived through McCarthyism and the Hollywood blacklist, yet she never lost sight of her values.

Despite having grown up in New York, she aspired to be a star in Hollywood. After high school, she secured a deal with Paramount Pictures and a brief modeling career. Hunt was only 17 years old back then and had a lot on her plate. She appeared in almost 50 films during the 1930s and 1940s. Hunt’s activism and charity work, to which she spent decades of her life, have now been hampered by the frailties of age. But it’s incredible how we get to see her credits till now.

Edna May Wonacott – 1932

Edna May Wonacott was a former child actress during the 1940s. Her career began with meeting the esteemed director himself, Alfred Hitchcock, and movie producer Jack Skirball. The two saw the nine-year-old Edna while waiting at the bus stop. At the time, she had zero experience with acting. Nonetheless, Hitchcock and Skirball banked their investments in hand-picking her for the role of Ann Newton in the 1943 film Shadow of a Doubt.

Wonacott appeared in six other films, including Under Western Skies, The Model and the Marriage Broker, and The Bells of St. Mary’s. She eventually retired from acting in 1952. Soon after, she started a family, got happily married, and had three sons. She is currently 90 years old.

Sandra Day O’Connor – 1930

After receiving unanimous Senate approval, Sandra Day O’Connor became the first woman to serve on the nation’s highest court. After 24 years of service, she retired in 2006 but has garnered various awards. She founded iCivics, an online civics education program for middle school pupils, in 2006.

O’Connor was born in 1930 and spent part of her childhood on her family’s Arizona ranch. She moved on to the university’s law school, where she finished third in her class in 1952. Due to a shortage of opportunities for female legal counsels at the time, O’Connor struggled to find work and ended up working for free for the county attorney of California’s San Mateo region to get her foot in the door. She soon advanced to the position of the deputy county prosecutor.

Geraldine Chaplin – 1944

Despite being the daughter of silent film legend Charlie Chaplin, Geraldine Chaplin carved out a successful investment as a supporting actress in major Hollywood and international films. She attended the prestigious Royal Ballet School in London and followed in her father’s footsteps. Geraldine pursued a career in acting and made her official debut in Doctor Zhivago.

She played Queen Anne in The Three Musketeers and returned in the 1974 and 1989 sequels. Geraldine worked with director Alan Rudolph on numerous projects, including Welcome to L.A. and The Moderns.

Doll decided to pursue acting after graduating from high school in 1937. Despite her parents’ opposition, who wanted her to pursue a college degree, she spoke in front of MGM for Rosalie. She got rejected but had The Wizard of Oz as her project. Because there were so many individuals named “Morris,” she changed her name to Marsh in 1937. She worked with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on films from 1937 until 1948, including a brief uncredited role in Gone with the Wind.

Margia Dean – 1922

Margia Dean began acting at the age of seven. She played various child roles on stage before earning the credit for her performance as Juliet in a Romeo and Juliet production. She began modeling and was dubbed Miss San Francisco and Miss California. In the 1939 Miss America pageant, she came second to Patricia Donnelly.

Dean made her feature film debut in Casanova in Burlesque. She eventually withdrew from performing after getting frustrated that her jobs were mostly in B movies. Dean dabbled in film production, collaborating on The Long Rope with Hugh Marlowe and producing a few television pilots. Since then, she has worked in costume design and interior decoration and served as a real estate agency vice president.

Maria Cooper Janis – 1937

Maria Cooper Janis is still working every day to promote her late father, Hollywood legend Gary Cooper, through a range of planned initiatives and events. She is a recognized artist and painter and handles her dad’s archives and website, garycooper.com. Janis even wrote Gary Cooper off Camera: A Daughter Remembers, and it provides an insight into the persona of one of the most outstanding cinematic performers of all time.

She pursued a painting career in New York before marrying Byron Janis, a world-renowned concert pianist, in 1966. She works hard on her paintings and exhibits them throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Aside from her credits, Janis also volunteers with the Neuropathy Foundation and is a member of the ASPR’s board of directors.

Glynis Johns – 1923

When Glynis Johns portrayed Winifred Banks in Mary Poppins in 1964, she converted every little girl into an activist. The character wears blue and white Women’s Votes sashes while protesting the suffragette movement. Who didn’t fall in love with her?

Johns earned a degree for herself both before and during the filming of Mary Poppins, and she continued to thrive afterward. She played James Stewart’s wife in Dear Brigitte and was featured at the Garrick Theater in The King’s Mare the following year. She later appeared as Lady Penelope Peasoup in the Batman television series. When we thought her career was over, Johns returned in The Vault of Horror and The Happy Prince. The stage, on the other hand, remained Johns’ primary preoccupation.

June Lockhart – 1925

June Lockhart is famous for her roles as two renowned television mothers, but her nine-decade career has many credits. She acted as Ruth Martin in Lassie and Dr. Maureen Robinson in Lost in Space. She’s worked on various projects and has become a mother and grandmother outside of work.

While astronauts pay tribute to Maureen Robinson on their journeys to the stars, Lockhart has two Hollywood Walk of Fame stars of her own.

Adding investments to her plate, Governor Butch Otter nominated her to county commissioner in Benewah County in 2009. She did, however, lose her election bid the following year. Crawford created the Benewah Human Rights Coalition, a non-profit organization, in 2011 and made the documentary Surviving Mommie Dearest two years later.

Goldie Hawn – 1945

Goldie Hawn has been entertaining audiences for more than five decades, and the 76-year-old shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon! As her career has progressed, the Hollywood legend has done an excellent job of remaining extremely relevant. Her remarkable appearances on the television classic Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In catapulted her to stardom in her early 20s, and she effectively transitioned into the realm of filmmaking.

Hawn subsequently went on to win an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her performance in Cactus Flower, solidifying her investments in the entertainment industry even more. Things only got better for her over time. Other motion picture classics Hawn appeared in include Private Benjamin and Overboard, in which she co-starred with her lifelong partner Kurt Russel.

Richard Chamberlain – 1934

Chamberlain has received numerous prizes since his debut in the 1960s. He has won several credits, including the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries in 1984. Chamberlain split his time as a youth between acting and his athletic abilities on the track. He excelled as a sportsman during his early years, despite succumbing to the call of the stage. The Bourne Identity actor later gained fame for his portrayal of Bluntschli in the critically acclaimed stage play Arms and the Man, and his early success encouraged him to set higher goals.

Robert Fuller – 1933

Robert Fuller was famous for his rugged good looks and no-nonsense performance. He acquired a position as head usher at Graumann’s Chinese Theatre at night and minor roles in noteworthy films like I Love Melvin and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes during the day. His career was on hold for a few years due to the Korean War, but it was well worth the wait.

Fuller continued to perform in modest film roles following his return from the war before landing his first significant role as Jess Harper on Laramie. He continued to work and earned a prominent degree until he appeared in another television series. He now lives in Texas, where he enjoys donning western clothing, horseback riding, and caring for farm animals.

Bolo Yeung – 1946

Everyone enjoyed an excellent martial arts movie back then, whether kung fu, karate, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, or any other fighting sport. As a result, producers and writers were always on the lookout for martial artists who could demonstrate their mastery of the arts while also being dramatic on-screen. Bolo Yeung was one such actor and martial artist. He played Bolo, Bruce Lee’s arch-enemy, in the 1973 film Enter the Dragon.

Yeung was the typical villain in many 1970s kung-fu flicks. Because he was a competitive bodybuilder and a trained martial artist, he was seen as the ideal choice by many kung-fu movie producers. He performed in many films and television shows and earned his credit at Bloodsport. Fans appear to be unable to get enough of the actor until now.

James Caan – 1940

James Caan has earned the right to leave Hollywood on a high note, with credits like Brian’s Song and The Godfather. However, the cinema legend says he still believes his best work is yet to come.

Caan has had a lot of work lately, with films including Queen Bees, Undercover Grandpa, and Out of Blue, yet none have been critical darlings or box office successes. He has appeared in the films Redemption and Acre Beyond the Rye. Despite his inability to achieve celebrity status due to his unique acting choices, Caan eventually got his Hollywood Walk of Fame for his services to the American cinema industry. Even though he is in his 80s, the actor maintains an active lifestyle and is a martial artist.

Philip Michael Thomas – 1949

Phillip Michael Thomas created a name for himself in the entertainment world with four decades’ worth of investments. He is best remembered as the slick, smooth-talking Detective Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs in the 1980s smash television series Miami Vice. Fans of the iconic show still hold it in high regard 36 years after it first aired.

He auditioned for and starred in the San Francisco cast of Hair which launched his acting career. Thomas eventually dropped out of school to pursue acting full-time in the 1970s, appearing in many films, including the famous black musical drama Sparkle. His big break came in 1984 when Thomas won a significant role in the iconic television series Miami Vice, and, as they say, the rest is history.

Fabio Lanzoni – 1959

Many people only know him as Fabio, but anyone who has seen his face and body will never forget him. He began modeling as soon as he arrived in New York, and he soon became the face of GAP. He appeared on the covers of almost 400 romance novels during his modeling career. He also became a spokesperson for I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and participated in major commercial campaigns.

Richard Dean Anderson – 1950

We don’t know about you, but we had a lot of fun acting out some of MacGyver’s escapades with our friends and siblings. Although it is the only show for which he is renowned, Richard Dean Anderson had a broad and exciting career.

Anderson made his television debut at 26 in the US soap opera General Hospital. After MacGyver finished, he appeared in many credits, including Through the Eyes of a Killer and Pandora’s Clock. Anderson made a comeback in 1997 in Stargate SG-1. He hasn’t been seen on TV or in the movies in years, so we can only presume he’s taken a well-deserved break. But if we’re being selfish, we’d want to see a little more of this 1980s icon in the coming years!

Jack Nicholson – 1937

Jack Nicholson is one of the most talented actors that has ever graced our screens. He was a fan favorite for viewers and a model for actors from Batman to A Few Good Men and the many investments in between.

He has played some of the most memorable roles and classic lines in film history. Nicholson also holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations for a male actor, with 12 on his belt. Naturally, viewers have noticed and felt Nicholson’s absence from Hollywood for the past decade or so.

He shows no indications of returning despite a few false starts, though.

Hollywood only casts actors in prominent parts who can carry a film and “put butts in seats,” as the saying goes. Chase could accomplish that in the 1980s, and Hollywood kept placing him on the big screen. In 2000, he had more than a cameo in a smash hit, playing a weather reporter in Snow Day. Since then, a spate of credits has followed, including Zoom, Shelby, and Before I Sleep.

In the mid-1960s, he attempted to land such roles as Hank Williams in Your Cheatin’ Heart.

He struggled through the 1970s before finding success with Love at First Bite, a hit comedy where he played a vain Count Dracula. Hamilton’s ability to spoof his image proved to be his saving grace, and he had a successful run as a comic presence in various films and television shows. His success in show business proved that he could outperform all expectations.

He entered the acting world to perform and earn money to support himself. This move led him to join it as a career option.

He began painting soon after, and at the age of 56, he held his first solo exhibition, fulfilling his life-long dream.
