CELEBRITIES YOU THOUGHT ARE LONG GONE BUT THEY’RE STILL ALIVE AND KICKING
Peggy Stewart – 95, $10 million
Peggy Stewart is proof of the fact that a successful career in movies doesn’t have to take root from a foundation of film school! Stewart met with Henry O’Neill, an actor who helped her meet Paramount Pictures’ executives, and they were rather taken by Stewart and her beautiful smile! Paramount Pictures then offered Stewart the opportunity to be cast in 1937’s Wells Fargo as ‘Alice MacKay.’
Since then, Stewart has been credited for over a hundred TV and film acting projects and she continues making guest appearances! Peggy Stewart last played the role of ‘Mrs. Decker’ on Getting On in 2014.
Glynis Johns – 95, $16 million
British film, TV, and stage actress Glynis Johns won a Tony Award for bringing to life the character ‘Desiree Armfeldt’ on the Broadway production titled, A Little Night Music. She also acted in Mary Poppins, the Disney motion picture, where she played the role of ‘Winifred Banks.’
In 1960, she earned an Oscar Award nomination for The Sundowners. Her last film role was when she was cast in Superstar in 1999. Johns didn’t have formal drama training that would have naturally taken her into acting. Her route into the entertainment field started with dancing, then progressed to stage, and finally, she settled on TV and film until her retirement.
Earl Cameron – 101, Undisclosed Net Worth
Earl Cameron was among the first black actors to assume a starring role, and he did it with his role on Pool of London in 1951. Cameron has appeared in several sci-fi films such as Doctor Who and The Prisoner.
Cameron was born in Bermuda, and in Hamilton, there was a theater that was even named after him. Cameron had the honor of being appointed as Commander of the Order of the British Empire back in 2009. In 2010, he made an appearance on Inception, after which he announced his retirement.
