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.
Quincy Jones – 88 Years
Anytime the name ‘Quincy Jones’ is called, it’s either an ovation succeeds it or we are reminded of certain transgenerational music pieces or movies that nourished our souls richly and tenderly. He is not just a torchbearer in the African-American community, but a Picasso-esque figure in the world of song composition and film-making.
An award-laden career singles him out from his contemporaries. He is the mastermind behind the songs ‘Miss Celie’s Blues’ from the film ‘The Colour Purple’ that he produced, ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ with the great Frank Sinatra and the very popular charity single ‘We Are the World’; among others. His 2011 National Media of Arts finally adorns his career.
