Kim Novak – 91-Years-Old

Back in the 1950s, Kim Novak was landing gigs all across Hollywood. Her most well-known parts were in films such as The Man with the Golden Arm and Vertigo. When she was younger, she had a stunning natural appearance, but as she grew older, her appearance altered. According to reports, it’s because of her unsuccessful plastic surgery surgeries. Since her 1991 role in Liebestraum, Novak has not performed; according to accounts, she is currently a painter and visual artist. She made an appearance on CBS News Sunday Morning in 2020.

Burton Gilliam – 86-Years-Old, Blazing Saddles

At 86, actor Burton Gilliam has led one of Hollywood’s most fascinating careers. He began as a wrestler in the Coast Guard, achieving 201 wins out of 217 matches. After his service, he worked as a firefighter while pursuing acting on the side. His big break came in the early 1970s with back-to-back hits: Paper Moon (1972) and Mel Brooks’ Blazing Saddles (1973). Following these successes, Gilliam left firefighting to focus on acting, going on to appear in films like Back to the Future Part III and TV shows like Charlie’s Angels. Amazingly, he’s still active today, with his most recent role in the film The Lucky Man. With a net worth of $3 million, he could retire anytime—but he’s not slowing down yet!
