In case you don’t remember, Dolores Hart was a prominent actress back in the late 1950s, capturing the hearts of hundreds of fans in her youth. Incredibly, Hart’s made her film debut in Loving You, alongside the King of Rock’ n’ Roll himself – Elvis Presley! Shortly afterward, she made ten movies in five years, co-starring with stars like George Hamilton and Stephen Boyd.

Despite all of her success as an actress, Hart stunned Hollywood in the 1960s after announcing she would leave the film industry to join the Abbey of Regina Laudis Monastery in Connecticut. After all these years, Hart still feels she is right where she is supposed to be, and that’s great!

Elinor Donahue – 83-Years-Old, $3 Million Net Worth

If you love classic TV, then you almost certainly know actress Elinor Donahue for her role as Betty Anderson on Father Knows Best, a squeaky-clean sitcom that ran from 1954 to 1960, gaining millions of fans along the way. Unfortunately, like many other clean sitcoms, including Leave It To Beaver, audiences became bored with Father Knows Best in the 1960s and wanted more adult humor.

Thankfully, Donahue always managed to find work! From the 1980s through the 2000s, the actress starred in everything from The Golden Girls to the Princess Diaries II. While the 83-year-old actress retired in 2011, she recently published an autobiography and still enjoys an impressive net worth of $3 million.

Jacklyn Smith – 75-Years-Old, $90 Million Net Worth

When the new Charlie’s Angels reboot hit theaters, many couldn’t help but wonder what happened to the original TV show’s cast. Most still remember Jacklyn Smith best for her role as Kelly Garrett on Charlie’s Angels’ last six seasons. The show launched Smith’s career, which led to big hits like Nightkill.

However, before long, Smith grew tired of the entertainment industry. In the late 80s, she entered the fashion industry, creating her own clothing lines. It all seems like it worked out, as Smith is now worth $90 million today, one of the highest net worths of any of the original Charlie’s Angels cast members.

No questions asked, the Star Wars franchise would never have become what it is today without the voice of actor James Earl Jones. No one will ever forget Jones as the voice of the baddest villain in the history of cinema, Darth Vader. Afterward, he went on to star in many more of the biggest films of the ’80s and ’90s, including Coming to America, The Hunt for Red October, and Conan The Barbarian, alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Even some of his biggest fans don’t know, but, as a child, Jones suffered from a debilitating stutter. Thankfully, the actor eventually got a handle on it. That just goes to show you: let nothing stand in the way of your dreams!

Harrison Ford – 78-Years-Old, $300 Million Net Worth

After a few minor roles in the ’70s, actor Harriston Ford became a cinema icon in the ’80s thanks to his work in two of the biggest franchises of all time, Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Since then, the actor has gone on to not only star in more massive hits, like Blade Runner and Patriot Games, but also has become one of the highest-paid actors of all time.

These days, Ford looks incredible for his age – 78-years-old. How does he do it? Well, Ford credits it to three things: still working, learning to fly airplanes, and working out. However, he told Ellen DeGeneres, “I don’t work out like crazy; I just, I work out a bit…I ride bikes and I play tennis a little bit.”

Richard Van Dyke – 95-Years-Old, $35 Million Net Worth

Actor Richard “Dick” Van Dyke’s incredible entertainment career has spanned nearly eight decades. He first gained recognition on radio and Broadway in the 1940s. Just a little while, he became a household name thanks to The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Poppins, and, these days, the Night at the Museum franchise.

While semi-retired, Van Dyke still pops up in the odd movie, like 2018’s Mary Poppins Returns. However, most days, Van Dyke enjoys his golden days alongside her wife, Arlene Silver, with a net worth of $35 million. He certainly doesn’t need to worry about money for the rest of his life!
