From the Silver Screen to the Golden Years: Hollywood’s Ageless Wonders

Would you believe that some famous celebrities who you thought had passed away or had retired are still very much alive and working? The first movie to be evert shot in Hollywood was the silent movie In Old California, all the way back in 1910! The movie-making industry only thrived after that and over the years we have had some amazing actors.

What is amazing is that some of these living legends, even at their advanced age, are still very much strong, energetic, and beautiful as ever, many choosing to age gracefully and naturally. Are you ready for a blast from the past? Here are what your favorite yesteryear stars are up to these days…

Kristy McNichol, 60 Years Old

Kristy McNichol’s name is familiar to TV fans of the 1970s, especially teenagers.  The actress is considered one of the teen idols of that decade.  Her big break came through the television drama, Family, where she played Buddy Lawrence.  However, the ‘vehicle’ that catapulted her to fame was the 80s movie, Little Darlings, where she starred alongside Tatum O’Neal and Matt Dillon.

Sadly, like other Hollywood teen stars, McNichol encountered problems such as substance abuse and mental health issues.  When she was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, the actress decided to retire from Hollywood.  Retirement was good for McNichol, and she was able to turn her life around.  She proudly came out in 2012, and she’s currently working as a private school acting teacher.
