Though she took retirement early, she came back with the hit movie, Monster-In-Law. Nowadays, she has stopped acting but instead of spending the rest of her days in blissful retirement, she spends her time being an active and socially responsible person. She also speaks on various issues on global platforms. Retirement plans are not really made for these kinds of people!

Eva Marie Saint — 1924

Eva Marie Saint started out with a career in television, but soon, she stepped into Hollywood and established herself as a big star. She laid her hands on an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for her remarkable performance in her debut venture, On The Waterfront.

She made an appearance at the Academy Awards this year and looked great health-wise, and we guess she is taking her diet seriously.

Italian beauty Sophia Loren rose to fame for her stunning features as well as great talent as an actress. She entered the field of acting at the age of only 15. Later, her acting chops took her places and helped her gain international recognition. She also conquered Hollywood and amassed a huge wealth for herself. She is truly the epitome of true beauty and proves that beauty is not skin deep. She is against the anti-aging method of cosmetic surgery and even warns the younger generation against it. Her diva-like attitude is still there, though age has left its mark on her face. However, it is her attitude towards life and her desire to live life fully that helps her be so energetic.

Barbara Eden — 1931

The genie from I Dream Of Jeannie didn’t have to do a lot to win over fans. Despite a humble beginning, her sheer talent helped her scale new heights in her career. Some of her other noteworthy works can be seen in The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The West Point Story, and Highway Patrol. Later in her life, she turned into an author and penned down her own autobiography. Thanks to her illustrious career, retirement planning and arranging for a decent pension every month must have been easy for her.

Her most noteworthy performances were in Bye Bye Birdie, Cincinnati Kids, and Viva Las Vegas. Though she acted in movies in the 60s and 70s, she made her comeback in the 2000s. Margret is also a singer and dancer, and her vivacious stage presence has been often compared to that of Elvis Presley’s. Hope she is still active in her retirement and gets regular workouts. That must have helped her look so vibrant even in her old age.

Kim Novak — 1933

Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo must have been Kim Novak’s biggest movie ever. We can only imagine how amazing it must have been to have worked alongside the likes of Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, and Kirk Douglas. Then followed a number of other hit movies, but despite being at the top, Novak took retirement in 1966. Though she did come back into the spotlight, the movies she got were not up to the mark, so she turned to art, her first love, and became a visual artist. We are quite sure that she will be never bored in her retirement home as the art will keep her busy. As for her looks, it is evident that she had opted for the best anti-aging method – cosmetic surgery!

His career investments worked quite well, and it is safe to assume that if he plans to retire now, he can have a great lifestyle.

She was a  brilliant actress who won the Oscar for the movie The Three Faces Of Eve. Later in her life, she, along with husband Paul Newman, set up a camp to help children suffering from cancer.

George Lazenby – 1939

Born in New South Wales, Australia, George first carried out his duties as a military unarmed combat instructor for the Australian Army Special Forces and went on to become an actor in advertising. He became the highest paid model at that time, raked in huge bucks into his bank account, and successfully maintained a safe distance from bankruptcy attorneys. Although his role of James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service received much praise from several quarters, his career failed to skyrocket. He is close to 80 now and was last seen in the 2014 television series, Legit, and Gregory Hatanaka’s Hunter in 2015.

After finishing his footballing career, he was appointed as the athletic director of the popular Southern Illinois University over a period of five years, from 1976 to 1981, and that was enough for him to build up an enviable credit score.

Jane Withers — 1926

Jane Withers’ career started when she was still a baby, and so obviously, she used to the glaring spotlight of Hollywood. As she grew up, she found herself being handed one project after another, and she peaked during the 30s and 40s where she acted in a lot of movies. Her most prominent performance was in the movie Bright Eyes, where she acted opposite Shirley Temple. She also had a presence in the small screen especially for the commercial for Comet cleanser as Josephine The Plumber.

At present, he resides in Minnesota, and it is safe to assume that his long career has ensured that he stays away from bankruptcy.

Gloria Henry — 1923

Gloria Henry started her career in her late teens by doing radio shows and commercials. Gloria Henry’s claim to fame was playing Dennis’s mother in the CBS sitcom Dennis The Menace. However, her career didn’t take off, and she ended up getting B-grade movies and small stints as guests in regular shows. Her career slowed down even more in the later years, compelling her to take retirement in 2005, only to make a short comeback in 2012. However, we hope that even after paying her insurance premiums, the veteran actress leads a comfortable life.

At the age of 70, she was back to where it all started and got a role in My Fair Lady. Now at 92, she is hopefully fit and in good health!

Diana Serra Cary — 1918

Imagine being a millionaire in the 1920s. Diana Serra Cary became such a hugely successful child artist in the Silent Age of Hollywood that she was often called The Million Dollar Baby, thanks to her $1.5 million salary each year. That would be worth $22 million in today! Within just three years (1921 to 1923), she did 150 short films. Despite her prolific acting career that filled up her bank account fast, she found herself without work as an adult. Thankfully, her creativity didn’t limit her to acting, and she soon became an author and also a child star activist. This year, she turned 100, and we sincerely hope she is in great shape physically and mentally.
