Jamie Lee Curtis | Born In 1958, Halloween

Jamie Lee Curtis received a warm welcome to the film industry with her role in the 1978 horror film “Halloween.” After that success, Curtis went on to star in several other horror films. Now you know how she got the title “Scream Queen.”

Despite her initial start as a slasher film actress, Curtis soon made headway across several other genres. She received a BAFTA award for her role in the 1983 comedy “Trading Places” and a Golden Globe for her performance in the 1995 action thriller “True Lies.” After nearly five decades in the industry, she again lent her talents to the 2022 drama film “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Michelle Williams | Born In 1979, Destiny’s Child

Destiny’s Child was one of the best-selling music groups of all time. Among the famous former members of the R&B superband were the iconic American singer Beyoncé and the singer/actress Michelle Williams. The latter may not be as famous as Queen B, but she’s been successfully active in show business since the late ’90s.

Still boasting her youthful glow, Williams found success in TV and film productions while also working on Broadway and West End theater shows. Still active, she featured in the 2022 Lifetime drama flick “Wrath: A Seven Deadly Sins Story.” She also appeared in the American and British versions of “The Masked Singer.”

Morris Chestnut | Born In 1969, Boyz n the Hood

The 1991 cult movie “Boyz n the Hood” was responsible for kickstarting the careers of two major Hollywood players: the Academy Award-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. and the ever-young Morris Chestnut. Chestnut never landed an Academy Award, but he went on to build a massively successful acting career with over 50 credits and appearances in many hit TV series.

Chestnut never lost his charm and willingness to succeed, and that shows! Still active today, he’s one of the stars of the TV series “Our Kind of People.” Before, he worked in productions such as “The Resident,” “The Enemy Within,” “Goliath,” “Rosewood,” and “Legends.”

Paul Hogan | Born In 1939, The Paul Hogan Show

With his breakout comic performance in ‘Crocodile Dundee,’ Paul Hogan cemented his reputation as the funniest man in show business. The film’s critical and financial success led the blue-eyed comic to create and host his TV series titled ‘The Paul Hogan Show.’

Continuing to work in television and commercials, the charming entertainer has stacked up an impressive body of work during his many decades, making audiences laugh. Though now ostensibly retired, Paul’s legacy in show business was honored in TV films on his 80th birthday, specially made to celebrate his life and contributions to the arts.

Cindy Williams | Born in 1947, American Graffiti

With many films, TV, and theater credits to her name, including the Hollywood’s classic ‘American Graffiti,’ Cindy Williams soon realized that she will always be remembered as Shirley from the famous comedy ‘Laverne & Shirley.’ So now, in her 70s, she is living her life to the fullest by doing what she loves the most. Any guesses? We are sure everybody knows that its theater!

After marrying Bill Hudson in the 2000s, Cindy has appeared in guest-starring roles on television and silver screen, but her on-screen presence decreased. We still would like to wish her luck for her future on-stage ventures!

He was playing a recurring role in the American Housewife series and is now going to play in the film called All Terrain. He has accumulated a fortune of around $20 million.

Barbara Walters –Born in 1929, The View

With a last public appearance in 2016, Barbara Walters’ social media handles haven’t been updated since 2017. Sources suggest that the retired journalist has been diagnosed with dementia and that most of her day is passed sleeping.

On the other hand, fans haven’t forgotten the ‘ABC Evening News’ anchor, though. The television has only witnessed a few iconic journalists like this who have majestic hosting abilities – how we enjoyed watching Walters taking exclusive interviews of American celebrities! While admirers wish her good health, it’s no secret that we also miss seeing her on our screens dearly.

Christopher Walken | Born in 1943, The Deer Hunter

No wonder Christopher Walken’s awe-inspiring performances leave a lasting imprint in the audience’s minds! We don’t have to miss him longer, for the Pulp Fiction star will soon feature in the upcoming television series Severance and The Offenders. Despite his seniority in the business, Walken still has not decided on quitting his glorious on-screen journey, and that is indeed inspiring!

The New York-born actor is no stranger to global fame, with his films churning out over a billion dollars in the United States alone! Viewers would remember Christopher best for starring in first-rate movies like The Deer Hunter, Catch Me If You Can, and Vendetta.

Tina Turner | Born in 1939, The Big T.N.T Show

Another star from the showbiz golden era, Tina Turner, leaves us stunned to date like the way she did when she started her career. Not many are aware, but Turner has also been a Guinness World Record holder for the maximum paying audience in 1988 for solo performance, which was considered a massive deal for a female celebrity back then!

Even though the singer has commenced with her eighties, we still cherish her music and acting from previous productions. Her journey has been so fulfilling that we cannot wait to see her perform just once more!

Ann-Margret | Born in 1941, Bye Bye Birdie

We have always heard that ‘old is gold,’ but Ann-Margret, the ‘Grumpy Old Men’ star manages to prove it. Her film and music career spans five decades commencing from 1971 onward and going strong till today!

Back in the days, Margret was known as the female version of Elvis Presley, thanks to her breathtaking voice. The undivided adoration she has for singing is evident, as nothing has stopped her from contributing to music even in her late seventies! We don’t want to sound selfish, but we look forward to seeing more of her on-screen!

Patrick Stewart | Born in 1940, Star Trek: The Next Generation

Sir Patrick Stewart is a man of multiple talents— to say the least. Throughout his incredibly long career, the star has managed to fill up his resume with successful projects in acting, directing, and even producing films.

While many would assume that Sir Patrick must have long retired, given his net worth, impressive resume, and of course, his age, that is most certainly not the case. With roles in the ‘X-Man’ series and 2020’s ‘Star Trek: Picard,’ we expect Sir Patrick to continue playing his legendary characters for a long time.

Bern Nadette Stanis | Born In 1953, Brooklyn, New York

If you are a fan of ’70s comedy, then Bern Nadette Stanis’s name might sound familiar to you. That’s because the actress portrayed the only daughter of Florida and James Evans Sr. on the hit show ‘Good Times.’ Surprisingly, despite it being decades after, the lady’s smile is still as infectious as ever.

Our favorite actress lives with her children in Atlanta, Georgia, enjoying a relatively quiet life. Moreover, Stanis has taken a step back from her acting duties and focused more on her writing. So far, the actress/writer has four published books to her name.

Connie Stevens | Born in 1938, Hawaiian Eye

Over the years, Connie Stevens has amassed several prestigious accolades and a sterling reputation, winning roles in notable films and television series alike. An outstanding portrayal of “Cricket” Blake in the famous detective series Hawaiian Eye also won her the hearts of countless fans and critical acclaim.

A pro in diverting her creative genius into both on-screen and behind-the-lens jobs, Stevens also made her presence felt on Billboard with her heart-melting single Sixteen Reasons. Currently, in her 80s, the Tapeheads star knows how to keep herself busy. Besides an active film career, Connie also has her cosmetics line Forever Spring to focus on. Cheers to her untiring spirit!
