THEY WERE THE STARS OF YESTERDAY, BUT YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY’RE DOING IN RETIREMENT

Kathryn Crosby – 88 Years

Kathryn Crosby has a lengthy list of film credits up her sleeve, stretching from the 1950s to 2010, when she took her last film role. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas she briefly appeared in her then husband’s sitcom ‘The Bing Crosby Show.’

Adding to the arts degree, Kathryn became a registered nurse in 1963 after studying at Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles and receiving a nurse’s cap. Crosby retired from acting in 2010 after a tragic accident that robbed her of her second husband Maurice William Sullivan. She spends her retirement years living blissfully in California surrounded by friends and family.

 

Annette O’Toole — 70 Years

Annette O’Toole was born in 1952 and grew up in her mother’s dancing studio. Her first TV appearance was at the age of two, and by 13 years, she already had taken 10 years’ worth of singing and dancing lessons. Annette moved to LA with her mom in their search for a career break, and after two months of searching, she got a professional role to dance on the Danny Kaye Show.

Without a doubt, her singing and dancing training opened so many doors that otherwise would’ve been closed to her. O’Toole is glad she found her career early. She believes that it is the discipline she received from being an actor that has set her apart from the crowd.

 

Paige O’Hara — 66 Years

Born in 1956, Paige O’Hara is a famous American actress, painter, and singer who has received recognition for voicing the character, Belle, in ‘Beauty and the Beast.’

Paige’s success as an actress is largely attributed to the training she received in childhood—she started taking acting classes from the age of 4 and singing classes from the age of 9. O’Hara also attended a school of performing arts where she trained to be a professional actor and singer. Now in her 60s, the actress continues to work with ‘Disney Fine Art’ as a painter. She has a trail of admirable legacies for which she will always be held in high esteem.

 

Angela Lansbury – 95 Years

Angela Lansbury has lived through all the great events of the past century, including both world wars! With a career that spans for nearly eight decades, the British-Irish motion picture actress in her nineties is still up and about like a champ.

The golden-age star is classy, elegant, and above all, she is super hardworking. The six golden globes, five Tony awards, and even an honorary Oscar, all prove her incredible action on the screen! Even though Angela is not in her prime anymore, she is just as beautiful, and her eyes speak of wisdom we might not understand yet.

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.
