THEY WERE THE STARS OF YESTERDAY, BUT YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY’RE DOING IN RETIREMENT
They were the glitterati of the yesteryears, wowing audiences of all ages with their beauty and talent alike. Decades later, we wonder what have become of these once-shining stars. While there are some that are still very much visible in movies to this day, there are others who are now comfortable in retirement. Some can even claim to have just as much drama in their personal lives as the roles that they once played, be it in the guise of divorce or alcoholism. Regardless of where they are now, these stars of yore can all say for certain that they enjoyed their high net worth and success to the fullest.
Joan Collins – 85 years old
Dame Joan Collins has had a very illustrious career, indeed. At just age 9, she was already studying to be an actress in the very prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), which led to a successful career in theater. She then moved to Hollywood and enjoyed leading lady status for many years in movies like The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing and Rally Round the Flag, Boys!, to name a few. The 80’s then saw her back on her first love, the stage, taking on lead roles in The Last of Mrs. Cheyney, Private Lives, and many more. Now 85, Joan has been largely focused on working with charities for which she was made a Dame in 2015 by Queen Elizabeth II.
