Hollywood introduced many talented stars to people over the years, and even if there are many rising young stars already, it’s hard to forget about all the iconic actors we saw in films and shows back in the day. Many of them had careers that made them money for decades, while others preferred life away from the limelight.

Even if these people disappear from their respective industries, their fans won’t forget them because of their achievements in their careers. Let’s look at some of the stars from back then who are still alive, and let’s see how much their lives changed after their careers peaked.

Thelma Barlow – Age 92

Thelma Barlow got raised by her mother growing up, for her father passed away when she was still a baby. She developed her acting talent when she became part of the Joan Littlewood Theatre Group. It was a turning point in her life since she previously spent eight years working as a secretary.

Barlow began landing acting roles in the late ’60s, but her breakthrough was her role as Mavis Riley on ‘Coronation Street.’ She appeared in the series from 1971 until 1997. Her last acting performance was in the 2016 film ‘Florence Foster Jenkins,’ but she appeared on ‘Coronation Street Icons’ in 2021.
