These Golden Era Stars You’ve Forgotten Are Still Alive And Breaking!

Richard Chamberlain – 1934

Richard Chamberlain was well-known for being a teen idol in the ’60s. The performance that brought him to the limelight was in the series called Dr. Kildar, after which he became the first-ever actor to give life to the character of Jason Bourne.

Being 87 years old has taken its toll on Chamberlain; therefore, he is not as active as he used to be. With his gray hair and skin, it is clear that the Golden Globe Award-winner has aged. He recently performed in the 2019 film called Finding Julia, and he is set to appear in two upcoming documentaries.

Barry Manilow – 1943

Even at the current age of 78, Barry Manilow’s golden voice is still as magnificent as ever, and in terms of looks, he looks way younger than other people his age. This is why some believe that he enhanced his look with the help of cosmetic surgery.

For more than five decades, Manilow made waves in the music industry, and some of his most popular songs were Copacabana and Can’t Smile Without You. To show that he’s still very much active in the music industry, he even released a new studio album titled Night Songs II in 2020.

Valerie Bertinelli – 1960

Hollywood star Valerie Anne Bertinelli first won hearts as a child actress playing Barbara Cooper Royer on “One Day at a Time.” The series lasted for about a decade between the ’70s and ’80s and won Bertinelli two Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actress. In adulthood, she became known for her role as Gloria in the religious series “Touched by an Angel.”

Bertinelli has not only been successful as an actress, but she has also found success as a TV host on Food Network. Some of her shows, including “Kids Baking Championship” and “Valerie’s Home Cooking,” have been airing since 2015 and even won her two Emmy Awards.

Al Pacino – 1940

It’s no secret that Al Pacino has been an icon in the Hollywood scene for decades now. Although his first memorable performance was in The Panic in Needle Park, the role that launched him into stardom was in The Godfather films. After that, he consistently served us more superb performances, such as in Scent of a Woman and Serpico.

He is well known for working on Looking for Richard and Chinese Coffee. Pacino isn’t disappearing from our screens anytime soon, and so you will see him in the upcoming film called House of Gucci.

Michael J. Fox – 1961

The retired Canadian American actor Michael J. Fox first shot to fame in the ’80s when he played Alex P. Keaton on the popular NBC sitcom “Family Ties.” However, it was his protagonist role as Marty McFly in “Back to the Future” and its sequels that brought him critical and commercial success.

From there, Fox began to bag headlining roles in films and had already become an established Hollywood icon in the 21st century. Even though he’s had to take on fewer roles over time, he still makes guest appearances on TV, playing recurring roles in some projects that have earned him critical acclaim, like “The Good Wife.”
