Anderson has always been considered a celebrity doppelganger, resembling stars like Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. She even portrayed the latter in the ‘80s CBS TV film The Jayne Mansfield Story. She isn’t quite done with the industry yet, but her latest work on the screen was in 2017 when she appeared in Love You More.

Louise is now 85 and she doesn’t seem like she’s ready to stop contributing to her retirement investment. She has penned down several publications including her 2007 release When I Grow Up, and she donated part of the proceeds from its sale to literacy programs. She was married to Les Crane and their daughter Caprice is now an accomplished novelist and TV professional.

In 2016 she linked up with O’Neal once again to stage Love Letters by the acclaimed A.R. Gurney. These days she lives a relatively quiet life in Tesque, New Mexico after moving from her rental property in Malibu that was ravaged by a fire back in 1994.

Sadly, she’s not acted with the same frequency since then. However, that doesn’t mean that she isn’t out there anymore. She has played in one more series, the Revolver, which ended in 2004. Today, Goodyear is said to be worth close to $8 million and is 78 years old.
