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.

Jacqueline White – 97-Years-Old, $3 Million Net Worth

Actress Jacqueline White might have only had a short career – less than a decade if you’re counting – but her resume remains one of the brightest in all of Hollywood. After all, White scored roles in some of the biggest movies of the ’40s and ’50s, including Crossfire, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Mystery in Mexico, and the beloved film noir The Narrow Margin, her last film.

After The Narrow Margin, White left Hollywood to focus on her marriage and children. Since then, she’s remained largely out of the public eye, except for the occasional appearance at classic film conventions, like the annual TCM Classic Film Festival.

Carole Cook – 97-Years-Old, $10 Million Net Worth

While actress Carole Cook, the protégé of comedian Lucille Ball, never became the star that Ball wanted her to, she has become one of the most decorated actresses of all time. After all, looking at Cook’s resume is like looking at a list of the greatest shows ever made: The Lucy Show, Magnum P.I. Murder, She Wrote, Charlie’s Angels, and Grey’s Anatomy, just to name a handful.

Unfortunately, in her older years, Cook seems to want to rely on shock tactics to remain famous these days. In 2020, the 97-year-old actress made headlines when she joked about the assassination of a world leader. Afterward, Cook’s cruel comment received widespread criticism.

Betty White – 99-Years-Old, $75 Million Net Worth

Of the older actresses on The Golden Girls, Betty White remains the only one still alive and kicking. The 98-year-old actress has the longest sustained career of any other in Hollywood, spanning 80 years. Yes, you read that right! Throughout her successful career, White became a pioneer of television. In case you didn’t know, she became the first woman to produce a sitcom, Life With Elizabeth, in 1953 and, two years later, received the Honorary title of “Mayor of Hollywood.”

Today, most of White’s fortune comes from her many television roles over the years. Believe it or not, the actress earned $75,000 per episode for Hot in Cleveland between 2010 and 2015. Then, White earned another $50,000 per episode of her own show, Off Their Rockers! Today, the actress’ net worth is $75 million!

In the late ’80s, Shepherd made the transition to television in the smash series Moonlighting. Since then, the actress has remained on T.V., never looking back.

The daughter of famous film director Vincente Minnelli and iconic actress Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli seemed destined to become a star herself. So it should come as no surprise that just two years after beginning her career in 1963 on Broadways, Liza won her first tony for starring in Flora the Red Menace. From there, she quickly became one of the most famous actresses ever, starring in hits like Cabaret and Rent-A-Cop.

These days, like many older celebrities who are still alive, Liza Minnelli only elects to come out of semi-retirement for roles that really call to her. While she hasn’t starred in a theatrical stage show since the 2000s, Liza has recently starred in major television shows like Law & Order Criminal Intent.

Gena Rowlands – 91-Years-Old, $10 Million Net Worth

That’s right! The actress says she had no idea that the 2004 romance movie The Notebook would become a smash hit. However, it did, and Rowlands became a bona fide star!

However, believe it or not, 91-year-old Rowlands says she’s simply happy she’s had the chance to act at all! “The thing about acting is you don’t want to let on how enjoyable it is or then everybody would want to become an actress. But it really is. It’s a pleasure to go and exchange your identity,” she shared recently. And retiring? Don’t even think about it!

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

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

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!

William Daniels – 94-Year-Old, $5 Million Net Worth

While it seems hard to believe, beloved actor William Daniels started working back in the 1940s. That’s right! Of course, older generations might remember the star for his time on ’80s classics like Knight Rider and St. Elsewhere. Meanwhile, Daniels managed to earn the iconic role of George Feeny on the ’90s smash Boy Meets World. Is there anything that he cannot do?

While the 94-year-old has retired from Hollywood, many don’t know that Daniels is also a hero! In the ’40s, shortly after becoming an actor, he joined the armed forces and served overseas in Italy. Today, Daniels remains happily retired and married to his wife of seven decades, actress Bonnie Bartlett.

Gene Hackman – 91-Years-Old, $80 Million Net Worth

However, fans still remember him from some of the biggest movies of all time, including The French Connection, Superman: The Movie, and The Royal Tenenbaums.

Finally, in late 2008, Hackman decided to reveal why he had left the movie business in 2005, after nearly six decades on screen. “I miss the actual acting part of it, as it’s what I did for almost 60 years, and I really loved that. But the business for me is very stressful,” he explained. Hopefully, Hackman’s enjoying his retirement with his $80 million net worth.

Is it hard for you to tell where you have seen actor John Austin before? Well, that’s because you’re used to seeing him with a ton of makeup on! After all, Austin first became a household name for his role as Gomez Adams on the Addams Family. Afterward, he went on to star in big movies like Teen Wolf Too, West Side Story, and Freaky Friday.

Today, the 91-year-old actor spends most of his time teaching the craft of acting at universities like John Hopkins and Columbia. While teaching certainly does not pay the same big bucks as acting, Astin still enjoys a sizable net worth of $5 million!

Very few actors manage to enjoy a career that lasts six decades – but Gavin McLeod is one of the few! For those that don’t remember – or weren’t around – McLeod started his career as a sideman in a number of ’50s movies. However, it wasn’t until the 1970 movie Kelly’s Heroes, which he starred in alongside Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas, that MacLeod became a household name.

Thanks to his role in Heroes, MacLeod quickly earned roles on hit ’70s shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Love Boat. Sadly, after the ’70s, the actor’s career never gained the same heights. In 2017, MacLeod retired. Today, the 90-year-old quietly enjoys his $10 million net worth, occasionally doing interviews.

Harry Belafonte – 94-Years-Old, $28 Million Net Worth

Don’t remember Harry Belafonte? Time to break out the old Calypso records! Belafonte became a massive hit in the ’50s, thanks mainly to the song “The Banana Boat Song.” However, there’s something that most people don’t know: he only started singing in order to pay for his acting classes. That’s right!

Sadly, while Belafonte never did make a massive splash as an actor, he did star in films like Against Tomorrow and Carmen Jones. Outside of his singing career, the singer has also been a highly active activist, most notably working with UNICEF. Today, the 94-year-old legend still sings, acts, and raises money for children in need – that’s pretty impressive!

Pamela Sue Martin – 68-Years-Old, $4 Million Net Worth

Despite the fact that Pamela Sue Martin’s role as Nancy Drew only lasted two seasons on ABC in the 1970s, she quickly became a household name thanks to The Nancy Drew Mysteries. Of course, the fact that she followed that up with an infamous Playboy shoot and a follow-up role on the hit soap Dynasty did not hurt her fame!

Unfortunately, since the late 1980s, the actress has failed to find fruitful parts. These days, Martin instead focuses on raising money for causes she cares deeply about. Most notably, she raised money for interstitial cystitis, a chronic pain disease that affects the bladder, which Martin suffers.
