Pop-jazz vocalist Helen Shapiro was big in the ’60s, primarily due to her UK chart-toppers Walkin’ Back to Happiness and You Don’t Know. You’d be surprised to know that she recorded these songs when she was just 14 and was billed as Britain’s Top Female Singer at 16.

Shapiro was so famous back in the day that John Lennon and Paul McCartney of The Beatles even wrote a composition for her called Misery. However, her producer turned it down, so she didn’t get to record the song. In 1987, Shapiro accepted Jesus in her heart, and by 2002, she temporarily retired from showbiz.

Stand-up comedian-turned-actor Bob Newhart rose to global prominence with his comic album  The Button-Down Mind Of Bob Newhart, which topped the Billboard pop charts as well as became an international bestseller.

Barbara Eden discovered a gold mine when she landed the role of Jeanie in the popular ’60s sitcom,  I Dream of Jeannie, a role that catapulted her to the peak of success. But she deserved it, as the singer and actress had received extensive training from multiple institutions, although we’re not sure if she actually graduated with a degree from any of them.

Her recent works would show you she is not very active anymore, as the last project she worked on was in 2016 when she lent her voice to a character on an episode of  Shimmer and Shine.

Nancy Sinatra, 80 , Born In 1940 –  These Boots Are Made for Walkin’

Nancy Sinatra is the daughter of late singer Frank Sinatra and she was fortunate enough to be able to make singing her profession just like her famous father. The ’60s were when she was most popular and her biggest hit has got to be  These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.

Did you know that Van Dyke finished school in 2004 when he was 78 years old? Well, that is the kind of amazing life he has lived so far, and the actor, who is now in his 90s, continues to make films. You will soon see him alongside the likes of Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt in the much-awaited  Mary Poppins Returns come December 2018.

You usually expect actors with Emmys, a Tony, and a Grammy, to at least have a media degree. Instead, Van Dyke initially wanted to serve in the military and was rejected numerous times for being underweight.

Robert De Niro, 77 , Born In 1943,  Raging Bull

The truth is that ever since Robert De Niro first became recognized for his Academy Award-winning participation in the film  The Godfather Part II in 1975, it’s been hard to pin down which of his movies he is best known for.

De Niro has been acting non-stop throughout his career and even though he’s now 75 years old, he’s keeping busy. Just in 2019, he’s not only set to appear in the highly anticipated movie  Joker, but he’s also expected to play in the film  The Irishman. After everything he’s done, Robert’s total net worth is estimated at $300 million!

Sidney Poitier, 94 , Born In 1927 –  Sammy Davis, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me

As far as making history is concerned, Sidney Poitier certainly did. He earned an Oscar and a Golden Globe for a spectacular performance in the 1963 film  Lilies of the Field, becoming the first Bahamian and the first black actor to have won the prestigious awards.

Betty White, 99 , Born In 1922 –  Fireside Chat With Esther

When it comes to female entertainers, Betty White is a name you would always encounter among the greatest. She has given more than seven decades of her life to the entertainment industry and has earned the distinction of having the longest career on television as a female entertainer.

Paul Hogan, 81, Born In 1939 – Crocodile Dundee

Two sequels would follow Crocodile Dundee II and Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles.

In 2020 he dusted his Crocodile Dundee hat off for another go in a film called The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee.

George Hamilton, 81, Born In 1939 – American Housewife

Known for his debonair hair and ever-present suntan, the American actor George Hamilton has been working in show business since the early ’50s. You’d think that Hamilton would be considering retirement at 81. Instead, he’s working in All Terrain, a new action movie set to be released in 2022.

Hamilton has most recently appeared in American Housewife, Grace and Frankie, and Swiped (a Tinder-inspired romantic comedy). Still, he’s perhaps best known for his classic performances in Light in the Piazza, Love at First Bite, Once Is Not Enough, and The Godfather Part III.

Marla Gibbs, 90 , –  The Jeffersons, Born In 1931

It was the role of the feisty maid Florence Johnston on the popular sitcom  The Jeffersons that brought actress Marla Gibbs a lot of fame. She also had a role in that series’ spin-off show,  Checking In. During her career, the parts she got were frequently supporting roles, for example in films like  Madea’s Witness Protection and  The Visit. This might significantly explain her net worth only being $2M.

But for her role on  The Jeffersons, she became a five-time nominee for a Primetime Emmy award. She has additionally won seven  NAACP Image Awards throughout her profession. In 2018, she played Mrs. Keys in the full movie  HeadShop.

Max Baer Jr., 83 , Born In 1937 –  The Beverly Hillbillies

Bob Barker, 97 , Born In 1923 –  Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much

We still feel devastated remembering that day when Bob Barker retired from  The Price Is Right. The legend had won our hearts and minds, having spent around 50 years on television, and took off when he felt it was time to leave.

Although maybe attending a film school would’ve been more appropriate, Barker went for Drury College on a basketball scholarship, earning a degree in economics, and it was here that he received his first exposure to the radio. We last saw him in the 2017 documentary,  Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much.

Loretta Lynn, 89 , Born In 1932 –  Lay Me Down

Lee Meriwether, 86, Born In 1935 – Love & Debt

At the impressive age of 86, the American actress/former model Lee Meriwether would probably still fit in her iconic Catwoman suit.

Her other blockbuster films included,  Kill Bill and  Summer Lovers to name a few. She married Neil Young in 2018, while she is an environmental activist and a vegan, which probably explains her healthy state at such an age.

He’s been in many films in his time, but arguably the one for which he’s mostly remembered is The Wrestler of 2008. In fact, for that role of his, he even got an Academy Award Nomination. Today, Mickey is worth around $10 million and lives between New York and Beverly Hills.

As far as her songs go, Stop! In the Name of Love, Baby Love and You Keep Me Hangin’ On have never stopped playing on the radio! Diana’s got a $250 million fortune, meaning she could’ve easily stopped performing by now. However, she chooses not to, and finds incredible success in doing so!

Glynis Johns, 97 , Born In 1923 –  Superstar

It’s amazing to think that a career which started at the end of the ’30s came to an end at the turn of the millennium for Glynis Johns, and it comes as no surprise that she has won a Tony and been nominated for an Oscar, considering the length of her career.

There is a reason why Jerry Lee Lewis is also known as The Killer – he slew his audience with his electric tunes, figuratively of course.

David Attenborough, 95 , Born In 1926 –  The Queen’s Green Planet

There is a natural calm in the voice of Sir David Attenborough, which is partly why watching  Planet Earth was an absolute treat even to those not very fond of documentaries. You’d think that since he’s worked with the BBC for so many years that he must have a media degree but in reality,

Attenborough has capitalized on his specialization in natural sciences to create aesthetically appealing yet highly informative and entertaining documentaries. He has been called a national treasure in Britain, although he is not particularly fond of the term.

Mickey Kuhn, 88 , Born In 1932 –  Alfred Hitchcock Presents

It’s surprising that Mickey Kuhn rose in prominence for his work in  Gone With The Wind, considering he was only around 7 years old at the time. But, being one of the only three surviving cast members of the film today shows how far back Kuhn’s career goes.

Marcy McGuire, 95 , Born In 1926 –  Summer Magic

Marcy McGuire’s career was short-lived, but she definitely made a mark with the 11 roles she performed. We are not sure why she opted for retirement from her film career, as she seemed to be doing quite well in the ’40s, but our best guess is that she left due to her marriage in 1947 to actor Wally Cassell, with whom she spent the rest of her life until his death in 2015.

Cora Sue Collins, 94 , Born In 1927 –  Week-End at the Waldorf

Cora Sue Collins is one of those few actresses who retired quite early  (she was only 18 years old) despite a blossoming career, probably because she settled down. Hence, there was no point in going to a film school to further polish her skills like many of her colleagues.

The actress started acting when she was only five years old with the film  The Unexpected Father in 1932, so that explains how she amassed 47 acting credits in such a short period, and her last one was for the 1945 film,  Week-End at the Waldorf.

Joe Turkel, 94 , Born In 1927 –  Boy Meets World

Right around the time when aspiring actors enroll in a film school, Joe Turkel enrolled in the US Army as the country engaged in World War II. But as soon as he was done with that, he came back to pursue his dream.

His most famous role has to be in  Blade Runner as Dr. Elden Tyrell, although how can we not mention his eccentric and soul-shaking performance as Lloyd in  The Shining? He appeared for one final time in 1998 in an episode of  Boy Meets World, although he was seen in a few documentaries after that as well.

Donna Martell, 93 , Born In 1927 –  Grace Kelly

Towards the end of the ’40s, Donna Martell kick-started her career with  Apache Rose. However, as the ’50s arrived, she shifted focus to TV shows, famously in  Cavalcade of America and  Cheyenne. She did not get any formal high education, though it would’ve gone to waste anyway considering her career came to a halt at the beginning of the ’60s, and we’re not sure why.

She did just one more role after two decades in the 1983 TV film  Grace Kelly, but that was the last time we saw her on-screen.

Conrad Janis, 93 , Born In 1928 –  Bad Blood

You may know Conrad Janis as an actor, and rightfully so, considering he has performed in around 99 roles over the course of his acting career. But Janis has also striven throughout his life to keep the traditional jazz music alive, playing the trombone.

There is no record of him having attended any film schools, although he seems to have done quite well without it as well. He last performed in the 2012 film  Bad Blood, which he also edited, produced, and directed. Hopefully, we’ll see something more from him in the future.

Peggy Dow, 93 , Born In 1928 –  I Want You

She was born with the name Peggy V. Varnadow, which she changed to Helmerich after marrying her husband Walter Helmerich III, although professionally, she came to be known simply as Peggy Dow. Peggy attended Northwestern University, but instead of getting a university-level media degree, she graduated from the School of Communication which did offer rehearsal spaces to help her practice her craft.

Her career ended just after three years when she married Helmerich, with one final role in the film,  I Want You.

Nancy Olson, 93 , Born In 1928 –  Dumbbells

Unlike many of her contemporaries, Nancy Olson has not retired even now that she is close to hitting 90, and that’s maybe because she has enjoyed a very lucrative career over the years. The actress started out towards the end of the ’40s and received an Oscar nomination quite early just two years later for her film,  Sunset Boulevard.

She is a Democrat at heart and often donates substantially to the party, although none could actually call that charity. After the ’80s, she does make an occasional appearance in a movie or TV show, her latest being in the 2014 film,  Dumbbells.

Ann Blyth, 93 , Born In 1928 –  Murder, She Wrote

We are lucky to have Ann Blyth still with us as she is one of the last surviving actresses from what has come to be known as Hollywood’s Golden Age. Blyth started out with Broadway after having spent six years on children’s radio shows. After signing a deal with Universal Studios, her film debut came with  Chip of the Old Block.

But her most notable role remains in  Mildred Pierce, which also earned her an Oscar nomination. She entered retirement in 1985 after one last appearance on an episode of the TV show,  Murder, She Wrote.

Kris Kristofferson, 85 , Born In 1936 –  Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson is surely among the top country singers in the world, having written numerous hit tunes. Many people believe that his self-titled album is the best he ever released. He’s also a very successful actor who has won a Golden Globe Award for his performance in  A Star Is Born.

While Kristofferson is still active in the industry, he suffers from Lyme Disease and needs to be treated frequently. The now 82-year-old singing star has 8 children.

Kathleen Hughes, 92 , Born In 1928 –  Swamp Women Kissing Booth

According to a 1970 news piece, Kathleen Hughes developed an interest in acting after watching a Donald O’Connor film, as she thought it looked like fun. Her acting career was mostly divided between 20th Century Fox and then later Universal Studios.

Although she never officially embraced retirement, we thought her acting career did come to a stop in 1998 after eight years of inactivity with one final yet small role. However, she appeared in a short called  Swamp Women Kissing Booth in 2018, so we may get to see more of her after all!

 Chevy Chase, 77 , Born in 1943 –  National Lampoon

Chevy Chase is unstoppable at 74 and has no worries about a retirement investment yet. We met him when he was 35 in his first leading role in the mystery-thriller/comedy,  Foul Play.

However, even before that, Chase had already tried out quite a few professions before deciding that what he really wanted was to become an actor! Chase’s last movie was a Netflix flick titled  The Last Laugh, where he co-stars with Richard Dreyfuss.

Terry Moore, 92 , Born In 1929 –  Ray Donovan

Terry Moore is not slowing down even though most of her acting contemporaries have retired since long ago. According to IMDb, Moore has four upcoming projects in 2018 and 2019 combined, including the much anticipated  Saving Flora.

Her last appearance was in 2016 on an episode of  Ray Donovan, so it seems she is picking up the pace yet again and will be returning to the screen as she used to in the good old days.

Margaret Kerry, 92 , Born In 1929 –  Public Access

Technically, Margaret Kerry is still working, even though her last acting project was in the 1993 film  Public Access. Her career started when she was still in school, which makes sense considering she was born in the hub of films, Los Angeles.

She made education her priority and graduated from Los Angeles City College, although we’re not sure which field her degree was in. She most recently published her own biography titled  Tinker Bell Talks: Tales of a Pixie Dusted Life in 2016.

Ted Donaldson, 88 , Born In 1933 –  The Silent Service

Ted Donaldson didn’t need to go to a film school because he began his acting career around the age of 4 and grew up making films, thereby gaining more experience in the field that many do at a much later stage in life.

Donaldson wanted to do other things in life, and for just this reason he left show-business in his 20s, making his last credited appearance on the TV show  The Silent Service in 1958.

Eva Marie Saint, 97 , Born In 1924 –  Winter’s Tale

Eva Marie Saint realized her dream of becoming an actress by enrolling in an acting degree program at the Bowling Green State University, and now the university has a theater named after her. From then on, for around seven decades, Eva Marie has relentlessly worked as an actress and has won multiple awards for her amazing performances, including an Oscar for her 1954 film  On The Waterfront.

She most recently appeared for a small role in  Winter’s Tale and lent her voice for a character on the animated TV series,  The Legend of Korra.

John Astin, 91 , Born in 1930 –  The Addams Family

His most famous role remains that of Gomez Addams from  The Addams Family. He also reprised his role in the 1977 film  Halloween with the Addams Family. John Austin also appeared in  West Side Story,  The Touch of Mink, and  Move Over Darling among many others.

He earned a drama degree at John Hopkins University where he also teaches acting and directing. The actor is still very much active even at 88 years old.

Robert Wagner, 91 , Born in 1930 –  It Takes a Thief

Even if you have forgotten his roles in  It Takes A Thief and  Switch, you may remember his more recent role as Teddy Leopold from  Two and a Half Men where he portrays the love interest of Charlie and Alan Harper’s mother.

Robert Wagner also appeared in the  Austin Powers trilogy as well as in  The Pink Panther, Harper, and many more. The 88-year-old is still working despite a $15-million net worth. Last year, he appeared in  What Happened to Monday as Charles Benning.

Harry Belafonte, 94 , Born in 1927 –  Calypso

Harry Belafonte is undoubtedly one of the most famous Jamaican-American pop stars who made a huge success with his 1956 album  Calypso. Harry is a singer, songwriter, actor, and social activist who is still active despite his advanced age.

The 91-year-old was an honorary co-chair of the Women’s March on Washington in 2017. He and his ex-wife filed for divorce after 47 years of marriage. He also has 5 grandchildren.

Elin Nordegren, 41 , Born In 1980 – Cover of Café Sport Magazine

A decade might have gone by since Elin Nordegren’s incredibly public divorce to Tiger Woods, but she’s still making headlines! She is 40 years old right now, and only recently started a new family with the NFL’s Jordan Cameron when they had a son in December 2019.

Elin was a nanny when she first got acquainted with Tiger. Since then, she’s been able to jumpstart her modeling career, and even made it to the cover of Café Sport Magazine in 2000! She is now worth around $120 million, most of which she earned through hers and Woods’ settlement.

Nehemiah Persoff, 101 , Born in 1919 –  Some Like It Hot

His family emigrated to the United States in 1929 and Nehemiah then earned a degree from Hebrew Technical Institute. His first notable role was in  Some Like It Hot in 1959. Persoff’s career spans more than 50 years during which he appeared in over 200 TV series, plays, and films.

His final film role was in 1999’s  4 Faces before he stopped acting and decided to dedicate his time to painting. The 98-year-old is still alive and lives with his wife Thia in Cambria, California.

Joe Pesci, 78, Born In 1943

We got to know Joe Pesci through his convincing portrayals of tough, turbulent characters in various genres and collaborations with director Martin Scorsese and fellow actor Robert De Niro. They’ve worked together in films like Raging Bull, Casino, Goodfellas, and more recently, The Irishman.

The 78-year-old star has been semi-retired for most of the century when he starred in the 2019 epic crime film. But before he accepted the project, Pesci reportedly refused 50 times because he didn’t want to be doing “the gangster thing again.” It turned out to be the right choice since he got nominated as Best Supporting Actor in the Academy Awards.

Rachel Ticotin, 62, Born In 1958

Rachel Ticotin made her acting debut in 1978’s King of the Gypsies. However, her claim to fame didn’t come until the early ’90s, when she played a Martian-based sidekick named Melina in Total Recall. According to her IMDb page, she now has more than 60 film and TV show credits to her name.

At 53 years old, Ticotin went to college and eventually finished her studies in May 2019 at 60. It’s inspiring to know that she’s the first of her siblings to complete an education. Columbia News even reported that the Superintelligence (2020) star sees it as one of the best experiences and accomplishments of her life.

James Woods, 74, Born In 1947

James Woods built a solid foundation for his now-established acting career with minor parts on and off-Broadway. He even joined Michael Moriarty and Sam Waterston in the 1972 Broadway production titled The Trial of the Catonsville Nine. Currently, the 74-year-old celeb has two Primetime Emmy Awards under his belt.

In March 2020, Twitter locked Woods out after sharing an intimate photo of Andrew Gillum, an ex-Democratic candidate for governor. The Nixon star also shares conservative memes and conspiracy theories on the platform, according to News Week. His account, @RealJamesWoods, is now up and running again.

George W. Bush, 74, Born In 1946 – 43rd President of the United States

Following in his father’s footsteps, George W. Bush decided to run for President in 2001 after serving as the 46th Governor of Texas. He won a close-call election against the Democratic candidate Al Gore and ended up serving for two terms.

While Bush’s time in office was far from easygoing (he was the man in charge when 9/11 happened), many people still criticize his decision to invade Iraq and allow the extremely controversial Patriot Act to be signed into law. After leaving the White House, Bush moved back to Texas with his wife, Laura.

Barack Obama, 59, Born In 1961 – 44th President of the United States

Whether you agree with Barack Obama’s politics or not, you have to admit he’s one of the most influential political figures in the whole of Western democracy. The 46th President of the United States, Obama, made history in 2009 by becoming the first African-American to make it to the top seat of the White House.

He served for two terms and was widely considered to be a popular politician, in and outside of the U.S. He left the job in 2017 and was succeeded by Donald Trump. Since then, he’s been mostly spending time with his family. His latest public appearance happened in 2021, during Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration.

Al Gore, 73 , Born In 1948 – An Inconvenient Truth

The 45th Vice President of the United States, Al Gore, was the defeating party in one of the closest, most painful elections in recent American history. After losing to George W. Bush by a margin of fewer than 600 votes, Gore decided he didn’t have to be president to still change the world for the better.

He was one of the first high-office political figures in the U.S. to embrace the fight against climate change. In 2006, he released An Inconvenient Truth, an extremely influential documentary on the matter, and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the following year.

Johnny Mathis, 85, Born In 1935 – Wild Is The Wind

With a career that has spanned over six decades, Johnny Mathis has earned acclaim by creating over a dozen gold and platinum-selling albums, alongside 73 Billboard charting albums to date. Add to that a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and you’ll get why he is legendary.

Despite being billed as a romantic singer, his repertoire is versatile and includes soft rock, Spanish music, blues, and country. Through this, he has released some memorable singles, including Chances Are and the Oscar-nominated song Wild Is the Wind. His last album release was in 2017 and called Johnny Mathis Sings the Great New American Songbook.

Lorenzo Lamas, 63, Born In 1958 –  Renegade

Lorenzo Lamas got his first taste of fame in the cult classic musical Grease. Who is he, you ask? He is the jock who sparks Sandy’s interest after seeing that Danny isn’t all he pretended to be during summer vacation.

You may not recognize him since he had to go blonde for the role, but he is in his natural brown for his roles in the series Renegade and the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. He also had his own reality show called Leave It to Lamas but is back in the acting game with an upcoming 2022 film called Trail Blazers.

Dan Quayle, 74, Born In 1947 – 44th Vice President of the United States

The heyday of Dan Quayle’s professional life happened between 1989 and 1993. He served as George H. W. Bush’s Vice President before Al Gore succeeded him. But his outstanding political career started practically right after he obtained his J.D. degree from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1974.

He served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Indiana’s 4th district between 1977 and 1981 and later made it to the U.S. Senate, where he served for roughly eight years. After leaving the White House, Quayle joined a multi-billion dollar private equity firm, where he worked as chairman.

Hillary Clinton, 73, Born In 1947 – 67th U.S. Secretary of State

It’s almost impossible to discuss women in politics without mentioning Hillary Clinton. She went from being a very-active first-lady to becoming a bonafide public servant, who worked, most notably, as Barak Obama’s U.S. Secretary of State.

An ever-ambitious woman, Clinton ran for the U.S. Presidency as the Democratic candidate in 2016. Still, he saw her dream of becoming America’s first female president crushed by Donald Trump’s surprising victory. Her unexpected defeat was emotionally costly, but she’s managed to recover by now. In 2020, she was announced as the new Chancellor of Queen’s University Belfast.

Clu Gulager, 92, Born In 1928 – The Virginian

William Martin “Clu” Gulager, better known as just Clu Gulager, is a TV and movie star, primarily of the ’60s. He is probably most famous for playing Billy the Kid in The Tall Man, which aired from 1960 to 1962, and also for playing Emmet Ryker in The Virginian, another popular Western series of that time.

Gulager was born in 1928, in Oklahoma, and his acting career began in 1947. He also directed two movies: Moments and A Day with the Boys. In recent years, Gulager was seen in Tangerine, in 2015, and in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He has been in retirement since 2019.

Robert Duvall, 90 , Born in 1931 – The Godfather

Actor/filmmaker Robert Duvall was nominated for seven Academy Awards throughout his long and successful career. He appeared in notable projects such as  To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Twilight Zone, The Godfather, and  The Godfather Part II.

Duval doesn’t have any children but he was married four times. After three divorces, he married Luciana Pedraza in 2005 and they are still together. Although already at 87, the actor refuses to slow down. This year, he appeared in the movie  Widows.

Michael Caine, 88 , Born in 1933 –  Alfie

This English actor, author, and producer appeared in more than 115 films. Regarded as an icon, Michael Caine rose to stardom thanks to his roles in  Zulu, The Ipcress File, and  Alfie. For his performance in  Hannah and Her Sisters, Caine received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

The 85-year-old lives in a Leatherhead, Surrey estate where he has built a house with a movie theatre. Born as Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, he adopted the name Michael Caine in 1954.

Annette Warren, 99 , Born in 1922 – Vocal Dubbing in the film  Showboat

Perhaps you don’t remember the popular jazz and song stylist Annette Warren, but this 96-year-old is still performing. She was discovered in 1945 when she made her first recordings. Annette made her radio debut the next year and the rest is history. She was hugely successful in clubs and theatres and started making television appearances.

It seems like retirement planning is not on her mind as she still performs in clubs in Hollywood and even headlined at the New York cabaret and restaurant Feinstein’s/54 Below in 2017.

Irene Papas, 94 , Born in 1926 –  The Guns of Navarone

The Greek beauty has starred in over 70 films in her long career spanning more than 50 years. The retired actress and singer Irene Papas became an international star after  The Guns of Navarone and  Zorba the Greek.

The 91-year-old is alive and well, and obviously, she has discovered some anti-aging secret we are not aware of because she is defying age. She doesn’t act anymore and her last known role was in  A Talking Picture in 2003.

Jeremy Clarkson, 61, Born in 1960 – Top Gear

If you’ve watched Top Gear, you’ve probably heard the name Jeremy Clarkson. Jeremy loves cars so much he made a career out of it, producing best-selling automobile-related books on them like Clarkson On Cars and Motorworld.

Aside from automotive passions, the TV presenter has been hosting the popular game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? since 2018. These days, the journalist is busy filming the Amazon Video‘s The Grand Tour with his co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond after recovering from Covid-19. We hope the broadcaster continues to be safe and healthy.

Andy Wilman, 59 , Born in 1962 – Jeremy Clarkson’s Motorworld

TV viewers who have seen most of Jeremy Clarkson’s shows, including Motorworld, have seen the works of Andy Wilman. He catapulted to fame when he became the executive producer of Top Gear. Andy served as the show’s producer from 2002 to 2015, establishing the series’ style and humor.

The respected television creator is also a part-owner of W. Chump & Sons, alongside Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond, producing The Grand Tour. His presence is felt on the program even though he never appeared on it by sending text missions to the cast, including funny criticism. We can’t wait for the return of this car show!

James May, 58, Born in 1963 – The Grand Tour

You’ve probably seen James May in his Amazon show The Grand Tour, which he co-presented alongside former Top Gear colleagues Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. A child at heart! He also made a 6-part TV series called James May’s Toy Stories featuring the most sought-after toys of the past decades in 2009.

His love for toys doesn’t stop there. In December 2012, James and his team created a massive toy glider for Fight Club that flew 22 miles to Lundy Island. The TV presenter is also an entrepreneur, co-owning an 18th century Wiltshire pub called The Royal Oak. Well, this is one unstoppable man.

Jeremy Corbyn, 72 , Born In 1949 – Member Of The British Parliament

Having a career in politics can take its toll on the mind and body. However, it seems that British MP Jeremy Corbyn is handling a job in the government in his stride.

As noted, most politicians tend not to age particularly well, but it appears that Jeremy’s role in the government is somehow invigorating him and keeping him young. Would you believe it if we told you that Corbyn has now entered his early seventies? If we didn’t know this for a fact, we’d have bet that this notable figure was probably a good few years younger than that!

Chris Evans, 53, Born in 1968 – The Daily Telegraph

Journalist Chris Evans might not have finished his education at the renowned Oxford University. So we’d bet our last dollar that every fresh graduate can learn a thing or two from this esteemed professional.

Chris is in his early fifties now, and even though he lives a private life, it appears that his news instincts remain as precise as ever, despite the fact that Chris isn’t the youngest of journalists. It just goes to show that few things can compete with a combination of talent and experience, which this industry veteran has in spades.

Chris Tarrant, 74, Born In 1946 – Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Chris Tarrant’s career in television started when he was about twenty, but lo and behold, that was more than five decades ago! In all the time that’s passed since then, Chris has shown listeners on radio and television viewers alike precisely what kind of talent he has for broadcasting.

Chris’s run on television is almost as remarkable as the fact he is still going strong despite being in his mid-seventies. After all, you don’t host a show such as Who Wants To Be A Millionaire for sixteen years without having a strong constitution.

Piers Morgan, 56, Born in 1965 – Good Morning Britain

For some British viewers, Piers Morgan was on their TV screens every morning in Good Morning Britain. The host is a broadcaster, journalist, writer, and television personality. In the ’80s, he was a well-known tabloid writer and editor for The Sun and The Daily Mirror.

American viewers will probably remember him as one of America’s Got Talent judges from Season 1 to 6. As of the moment, we’re still on the lookout for Piers’ upcoming projects after his highly publicized split with the morning show. We’re still hoping to see this outspoken host back on our screens soon, though.

Richard Hammond, 51, Born in 1969 – Car File

TV host Richard Hammond has been a fixture of British media since the late 90s, hosting different popular shows. Richard started his career as a presenter for Car File, which ran from 1998-2002. Since then, the TV presenter has hosted shows like Brainiac: Science AbuseTotal Wipeout, and Planet Earth Live.

Richard is an avid vehicle collector, owning numerous cars and motorcycles and a private tractor and helicopter. He probably houses all of his wheels in his castle called Bollitree Castle in Herefordshire, which he bought for $2.76 million (£2M) near Weston under Penyard, Ross-on-Wye. Now, this is luxury on a whole other level.

William Daniels, 94 , Born in 1927 –  St. Elsewhere

His role as Dr. Mark Craig in the medical drama  St. Elsewhere brought him two Emmy Awards. But aside from that, he is also famous for appearing in  Boys Meet World as Mr. Feeny.  If you have been wondering whatever happened to William Daniels, we’ll have you know that the 91-year-old actor is alive and well.

He married Bonnie Bartlet in 1951 and they have been together ever since. After the death of their newborn, they got two sons through adoption.

Barry Manilow, 78 , Born in 1943 – Copacabana

75-year-old Barry Manilow ruled many hearts in the early 1970s by producing hits like  “I Write the Songs,” and  “Copacabana (At the Copa).” Barry’s fans admired his romantic and sentimental songs for which he sold millions of albums and ended up gaining a grand fan base.

Manilow style kept evolving throughout his career and he went from pop to a more classic soundtrack. Manilow’s fans are curious about what he has been up to lately. However, we are happy to see he is alive and living a peaceful life now.

Andrew Dunn, 64 , Born In 1957 – Coronation Street

Andrew Dunn first made a name for himself when he appeared in the show called Dinnerladies, and then he became an even bigger star when he got cast in Coronation Street. He originally planned to pursue a teaching career, but it looks like he decided show biz was where he wanted to be.

He’s now 63 years old, and it looks like his acting career continues to generate a ton of earnings for him. Dunn’s most recent role was in a short film titled Standing Woman. His IMDb page says he has two upcoming movies called Zomblogalypse and Ravenscar.

Shobna Gulati, 54 , Born In 1966 – Coronation Street

Shobna Gulati went to the University of Manchester and majored in Middle Eastern and Arabic politics. She didn’t end up pursuing a political career, for she later got into acting. Her first notable role in her acting portfolio was in the show called Dinnerladies.

She then had a 12-year run with the show Coronation Street. Gulati also tried hosting at one point, being part of Loose Women’s panel from 2013 to 2014. She has no plans of slowing down anytime soon, and her next film is called Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.

Anne Reid, 85, Born In 1935 – Coronation Street

During the ’60s, people knew actress Anne Reid for being part of the cast of Coronation Street. She then spent two years appearing in Dinnerladies, but many of you most probably know her for her Last Tango performance in Halifax that earned her a BAFTA nomination.

On the big screen, she notably won the British Actress of the Year award at the London Film Critics Circle Awards for her performance in The Mother. Retirement is still not in her plans despite being 85, and you’ll see her in an upcoming film called SAS: Red Notice.

Duncan Preston, 75, Born In 1946 – Acorn Antiques

People first became aware of Duncan Preston’s talent as an actor when he appeared in Acorn Antiques. He then starred in the musical version of the series called Acorn Antiques: The Musical!. Other notable roles he had were in EastEnders, Dinnerladies, and Surgical Spirit.

Preston might not look so young anymore at his current age of 74, but he still has an infectious and adorable smile. From 2007 until 2020, he was part of the cast of the show called Emmerdale Farm. He doesn’t have any upcoming roles yet as of today.

Eileen Derbyshire, 89, Born In 1931 – Coronation Street

Coronation Street was the main reason why Eileen Derbyshire didn’t have to worry about going bankrupt because it provided her a stable flow of income for more than five decades. She was the female cast member of the show who had the longest run.

People got shocked when she decided to exit from the series in 2015, and she reportedly did it due to personal reasons. She didn’t turn her back on the show forever because she made a cameo on an episode in 2019. It looks like she’s enjoying her private life right now because she doesn’t have any forthcoming roles.

David Birney, 82 , Born In 1939 – Someone’s Watching Me!

His first role on TV was with the movie called Saint Joan in 1967. David Birney spent his days in the ‘70s and ‘80s right under the spotlight; however, he has sadly disappeared these past couple of decades. Since 2017, the rumor has been going around, wanting him to be living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Maybe that’s the reason why we don’t see him as often as we’d like to. The last time he acted was in 2007, on an episode of Without a Trace. Birney is now 81 years old. He has only been married once, to Meredith Baxter, between 1974 and 1989. They’ve had three children together.

Richard Chamberlain, 87 , Born In 1934 – Dr. Killdare

Since the ‘60s’ Dr. Killdare series, Richard Chamberlain has become a household name. Although he’s not as active as he was back then, Chamberlain is still around. He was born in 1934, meaning that he’s now 86 years old. On top of acting, he’s also written a book, Shattered Love: A Memoir, published in 2013.

His upcoming project will be the movie called Echoes of the Past, where he’s playing alongside the late Max von Sydow. He is estimated to have earned a $20-million net worth by now. In the meantime, some of his other famous projects include series like Shogun and movies like The Last Wave.

Richard Simmons, 73 , Born In 1948 – Sweatin’ to the Oldies

Ever since Richard Simmons withdrew himself from the public eye around 2014, his fans and followers have been curious about how he’s doing. Well, look no further because he is doing great despite being 72 years old. As energetic as he was, both as a fitness instructor and a person, Simmons reportedly prefers to live his life away from the spotlight.

However, that doesn’t mean he has stopped caring about others. Amid the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, Simmons uploaded archived videos from his prime on YouTube to help people stay fit from their homes. Who’d want to pass on the free videos from Sweatin’ to the Oldies creator?
