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.
Penelope Keith – 82 Years
Penelope Keith’s ‘To the Manor Barn’ became the most watched British television show in the ’70s. The show had over 20 million audiences, and Keith, already basking in the immense success of ‘The Good Life,’ became the comedy queen of the small screen. With a career spanning 60 decades, the multi-talented star continues blessing us with her presence through theatres and hosting TV and radio shows.
Keith, who is in her 80s now, serves as a Deputy Lieutenant in Surrey and has been supervising the Actors’ Benevolent Fund as its president since 1990. The thespian also received the title “Dame Commander” from the British Empire in the 2014 New Year Honours for her contributions to art and charity.
