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.
Loni Anderson – Age 76
Originally from Saint Paul, Minnesota, Loni Anderson made her acting debut in 1966’s ‘Nevada Smith.’ She endured about a decade of so-so roles before she finally made it big with her role in ‘WKRP in Cincinnati.’ Her performance got her nominated at the Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.
It was the highlight of her entire career, and she never landed a new role that matched the same level of success. Anderson experienced going through a divorce thrice before she met Bob Flick. She and Flick have remained inseparable since tying the knot in 2008. From 2016 until 2018, she starred in ‘My Sister Is So Gay.’
Tim Matheson – Age 73
Actor Tim Matheson rose to fame in the ’60s, when he starred in ‘Jonny Quest.’ He grew up in a world where wars got out of hand, and he had a tour of duty with the U.S. Marines at one point.
He made his acting debut in the show ‘Window on Main Street’ at only thirteen years old. During the 2000s, Matheson appeared in ‘The West Wing,’ earning him two nominations at the Primetime Emmy Awards. He began starring ‘Virgin River’ in 2019, and he even went behind the camera and directed two episodes of the series.
Victoria Principal – Age 72
Victoria Principal is best known for her performance as ‘Pamela Barnes Ewing’ on the long-running soap opera “Dallas.” After devoting nine years of her life to that show, she went on to open her own production company, “Victoria Principal Productions.”
But acting is not all Principal is known for. In the mid-80s, she acquired an interest in natural beauty therapies, leading her to create her own brand of skincare products under the “Principal Secret” line. And her youthful glow reflects their efficacy. She’s also the best-selling author of beauty and health-themed books like “The Beauty Principal” and “Living Principal.”
