At one point America’s favorite comedian, Bob Newhart, became incredibly popular thanks to his dead-pan delivery comedy routines. He rose to fame in the 1960s after his debut comedy album, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, became a worldwide bestseller, one of the first comedy albums to do so. Newhart’s album did so well that it even ended up number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Later, Newhart also ventured into the world of acting, creating the Bob Newhart Show in the ’70s. Today, he is still working, most recently starring as Professor Proton in the hit series The Big Bang Theory, for which Newhart earned his first Primetime Emmy Award in 2013.
Jaclyn 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 Jaclyn 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.
Brigitte Bardot – 86-Years-Old, $65 Million Net Worth
One of the first truly international “it girls,” French actress and model Brigitte Bardot remains a famous face today, decades after her retirement. She began her modeling career at the age of just 14-years-old, before landing the cover of Elle a year later. In 1952, at 17, Bardot earned her first film role in the hit French comedy Crazy for Love. You can see why it became a smash!

From there, Bardot’s career exploded, and she starred in over 30 films before finally retiring in 1973. These days, Bardot works with a new passion: animal rights. In fact, the Brigitte Bardot Foundation is one of the most recognized animal rights organizations in the world. Congrats!
Dick Van Dyke – 95-Years-Old, $35 Million Net Worth
Actor 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!
Cheryl Tiegs – 73-Years-Old, $30 Million Net Worth
If you grew up in the 1970s, then you certainly remember model and actress Cheryl Tiegs. In 1978, she became one of the first models ever to appear on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue! In fact, this, along with her transition to acting, led to many titling Tiegs the “first American supermodel.”

Of course, after conquering the modeling world, Tiegs decided to try her hand at acting. No surprise, fans loved her just as much on the big screen as they did in the magazines. Over the years, the 73-year-old appeared in films like Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Moonlighting. Meanwhile, Tiegs has also worked as an ambassador for Planned Parenthood.

Sue Ane Langdon – 85-Years-Old, $3 Million Net Worth
On paper, at least, actress Sue Ane Langdon should have become one of the most famous Hollywood stars of all time.

After a long string of hit films, Langdon transitioned to television, where she guest-starred in nearly every hit of the ’60s and ’70s. Following roles on everything from Gunsmoke and Three’s Company to The Love Boat and Arnie, for which she won a Golden Globe, Langdon away from Hollywood ’80s. Since then, she’s remained a very private person, which might be why few remember her today.
Liza Minnelli – 75-Years-Old, $50 Million Net Worth
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.
Katharine Ross – 81-Years-Old, $5 Million Net Worth
Actress Katharine Ross always seemed destined for stardom. After all, she grew up in Hollywood and started acting before she even started school. So, it’s no surprise that she began a serious acting career at the age of 22, in the movie Shenandoah. However, that was just the beginning of the most incredible acting career. Between 1965 and 1975, Ross starred in three of the biggest films of all time: The Graduate, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Stepford Wives.

Although she retired in 2001 after a role in Donnie Darko, Ross still does come out of retirement for parts that genuinely call to her. Of course, with a net worth of $5 million, Ross can do whatever she pleases!
Bob Barker – 97-Years-Old, $70 Million Net Worth
With a whopping net worth of just over $70 million, Bob Barker is not only one of the wealthiest retired celebrities, but also one of the richest over 75-years-old. The famous TV host got his start in the entertainment industry by hosting Truth or Consequences after serving in World War II.

However, Barker’s next gig would make him a household name forever: host of CBS’ The Price Is Right. Barker hosted the hit game show from 1972 to 2007, the record for any game show host. Throughout his career, the host used his platform to speak about the cause closest to him: animal rights. Unfortunately for fans, Barker retired from showbiz in 2007. However, he has popped up on the famous game show a couple of times since then!

The world of television took a hit a few years ago when, after more than five decades on television, iconic journalist Barbara Walters decided to retire from the small screen. Now fully enjoying the retired life at 91-years-old, the former journalist accomplished more than most could ever dream of in her time on TV. From 20/20 and ABC Evening News to The View, she did it all!
Even though she says she loves retirement, Walters says she could come back, if the conditions were right. “I don’t want to say I will never come back,” she told Variety before retiring. “If the president came on, I might come back. If Fidel Castro said I will do an interview with you, which he has not in 25 years, I would go off and do it.”
