Golden Age Stars Who Are Still Alive & Kicking Hard

Bobby Sherman, 79 – $10 Million

Born in the ’40s, singer and actor Bobby Sherman began his musical journey at the age of 11. After learning to play the trumpet, he became a teen idol in the ’60s and ’70s. Despite his longstading career, his most successful single remains the 1969 song “Little Woman.”

After succeeding in the music industry, Sherman became a TV regular on ABC’s “Here Come the Brides.” Eventually, he left the entertainment industry for 25 years. In those years, he became an EMT serving as a medical training officer in a police academy. Later, he became reserve deputy sheriff until he retired in 2010.

Gloria Gaynor – 80, $20 Million

She may not have an incredibly active career now, but that’s understandable. After all, she’s been at it since the ‘70s! Gloria Gaynor was born in New Jersey in 1943 and eventually became one of the best-known disco-music singers. Her albums like Never Can Say Goodbye and songs like I Will Survive have never become irrelevant.

Today she is worth approximately $20 million. She has lived in houses like the $1.4-million 4,000-square-foot mansion in Green Brooks, which she put up for sale in 2019. That year she also released her so-far last album, called Testimony. She’s only ever been married once to Linwood Simon, whom she divorced in 2005.

Ralph Carter, 62 – $1 Million

Ralph Carter is a highly-respected American actor and singer who rose to international prominence in the ’70s after starring in the CBS sitcom “Good Times.” Before gaining the role in the sitcom, he was part of the Broadway musical “A Rising in the Sun.”

Carter has been on and off the industry, but whenever he takes up a role, he performs it at his very best. Among his other notable projects are the 1987 TV short “Donny’s House,” his unforgettable special performance at the 28th Annual Tony Awards, and the 2022 film “Chaaw.”

Ann-Margret – 82 , $25 Million

She delivered some of her best performances in films like The Cincinnati KidThe Train Robbers, and Grumpier Old Men. She has five Golden Globe wins to her name amongst a lengthy list of other accolades.

Dick Van Dyke – 97 , $50 Million

Richard “Dick Van” Dyke has entertained us for seven decades as an actor, writer, dancer, and singer. He came under the public eye after starring in his eponymous series The Dick Van Dyke Show. His credits include Mary Poppins, The Comic, and Mary Poppins Returns in 2018.

Van Dyke is also part of a self-titled acapella group formed in 2000, and they’ve performed extensively in Los Angeles. He turned his enthusiasm for computer animation into a functional skill. So, he’s credited for rendering effects for his own show as well.. His accomplishments are highly impressive for someone who is 94, and unsurprisingly, he’s still hard at work.
