The Brightest Stars Of The ’80s And Where They Ended Up
Alan Ruck – 63
Alan Ruck did a good job playing the part of Ferris Bueller’s hypochondriac close friend in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. He also delivered a great performance in Spin City, as the lecherous member of the mayor’s staff. He has a very diverse acting portfolio, which also includes Speed, Three Fugitives, and Twister. TV appearances naturally followed suit and he was coining it in no time. He still enjoys a solid career today. Alan Ruck seems to maintain a healthy diet or perhaps a good exercise routine because he looks really great!
Mireille Mathieu – 77
Mireille Mathieu is a significant name in French music. She rose to stardom by executing seven consecutive performances on Télé-Dimanche and a concert at the Paris Olympia. She went on to acclaim further success and has recorded over 1000 songs in 11 languages. With more than 122 million record sales worldwide, she is one of the most profitable French singers.
Although pop and rock music dominated the charts, Mathieu remained a famous artist in France and Europe. She has preferred to keep a more private life as she aged, yet we can re-watch her appearance on the 2019 series “Touche pas à mon poste!”
Mr. T – 71
Mr. T had a very unusual upbringing in a family of twelve children and in a crime-riddled neighborhood at that! He wound up as a celebrity bodyguard and worked for the likes of Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, and Muhammad Ali.
He then found fame as a star in his own right with Rocky III and The A-Team. He is a towering man and a born-again Christian—and he’s got a soft heart! He gave up his gold jewelry to support the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Samantha Fox – 57
Samantha Fox found fame at sixteen years old, for her appearance bare-chested on The Sun tabloid. In the ’80s, Fox’s photo-shoots made her a British glamour model. After a time, she ended up branching off into a career in entertainment – acting and singing.
Not all the attention Fox received was good though. There was a time when $1 million of her pay disappeared and it led to an ugly case where Fox sued her father, with the ordeal ending in a settlement. After that, there was the fact that her marriage to Myra Stratton was not well received. Her bra was later donated to a fundraiser that generated lost of cash.
Jennifer Grey – 63
Jennifer Grey shot to stardom with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, but it was with Dirty Dancing that she truly gained recognition for her acting skills. She earned a Golden Globe nomination for her famed role as Baby in the hit film she starred in alongside Patrick Swayze. In 2010, she took the crown for Dancing with the Stars.
She is still active in Hollywood, but she’s been slowed down by a chronic neck problem that resulted from a car accident.
Elisabeth Shue – 55
She was so eager to become an actress, that one semester shy of completing her studies at Harvard University in 1985, Elisabeth Shue withdrew to begin a career in acting. She was seen in various productions which included the Back to the Future franchise, Adventures in Babysitting, and The Karate Kid. Shue didn’t just leave her higher studies hanging though. In 2000, she returned to Harvard to earn a B.A. in Political Science. In the movies Death Wish in 2018 and Battle of the S**** in 2017, she was cast as a supporting character.
Kurt Russell – 68
Kurt Russell has graced the big screen since the ‘60s and he’s still at it with his most recent appearance set for the upcoming 2019 movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Crypto. Some of the other credits in his portfolio include Escape From New York, Furious 7, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, Vanilla Sky, and Escape From L.A. Unknown to most people, Rusell is an FAA-licensed private pilot and he’s also an honorary member of Wings of Hope, a humanitarian aviation organization. In 2018, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn celebrated 35 years together and between them, they have one child – Wyatt – who is also an actor.
Clint Eastwood – 88
Clint Eastwood’s life is rich with stories that could keep you on the edge of your seat! From being a swimming instructor in the army to being fired in 1959 as a contract player at Universal Pictures, all the way to his rising to international acclaim as a filmmaker and actor. Eastwood is a political figure as well and is the recipient of the Golden Pine Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2009, Eastwood was honored by Emperor Akihito of Japan for his contributions to the enhancement of U.S. and Japan relations. Rumors surfaced that Eastwood died of a heart attack in 2017, but he is alive and well!
Jackie Chan – 64
Jackie Chan’s roles as a respected martial arts movie star helped him build a $350-million personal fortune making him the world’s second highest-paid actor of 2016. Chan has appeared in more than 150 films since he started his acting career back in the ‘60s. Interestingly, Chan is also an operatically trained vocalist and he’s a Mandopop and Cantopop star who has sung most of the theme songs for his films. While married to Taiwanese actress Joan Lin, Chan had an affair with actress Elaine Ng Yi-Lei and they had a daughter together in 1999.
Kate Jackson – 70
Kate Jackson is best known for her role in Charlie’s Angel, a TV series, where she played th character of Sabrina Duncan. She is a brilliant actress, director, and producer. She is also famous for starring in Scarecrow and Mrs. King in which she played the role of Amanda King. Jackson was popular in her time due to her brilliant acting which got her nominated three times for an Emmy Award and four times for Golden Globe Award. Her fans were always ecstatic when she guest starred in TV series like Ally McBeal (1997), Sabrina, The Teenage Witch (2002) and the famous Criminal Minds (2007).
Kate is a two-time survivor of breast cancer which is why she is always seen advocating early screening to catch any signs of breast cancer. She was even awarded the Power of Love award in 2003 by the American Heart Association because of her continuous effort to make the masses aware about breast cancer.
Drew Barrymore – 44
Drew Barrymore stole hearts with her performance on E.T. ThExtra-Terrestrial. The film as released in 1982 and it was the beginning of a roller-coaster ride for Barrymore. It was very plain to see that Barrymore was born to be an actress. It is not a well-known fact, but Barrymore battled with substance abuse during her teen years, which hindered her success. The bottom line was that she ended up coming out clean, and today, she has a family of her own and a hit film career. Barrymore is not currently in a relationship and hasn’t been in one for four years, as she shared on Valentine’s Day of 2019.
Debbie Harry – 73
The multi-talented Deborah Harry gained popularity back in the ’70s and the ’80s as the lead singer of the band, Blondie. While with the band, her recordings hit the waves, reaching the number one spot on both the US and UK charts. In 1981, the then-36-year-old triumphed as a solo artist, and she subsequently released five solo albums. Not only is Debbie Harry a singer/songwriter, but she is also into acting and modeling who has featured in several movies during the course of her career. Harry dedicates her time to charity work, particularly to causes that aim at battling cancer.
Jason Patric – 52
Jason Patric is a descendant of Jackie Gleeson, the famous comedian-actor who happens to be his grandfather. Jason opted not to be a comedian, but rather to take on serious roles in films like those in The Lost Boys, Rush, Speed 2: Cruise Control, and even Sleepers. While he hasn’t slipped into retirement just yet, his projects and his roles have slowed over the recent years. He has just recently received parental rights over his son, who was conceived through artificial insemination.
Tamilee Webb – 60
Tamilee Webb gained popularity in the ’80s and the ’90s for her appearances on Buns of Steel and also on Abs of Steel. These instructional programs generated more than $10 million in sales. At 59, she looks incredibly great and we assume it’s because she’s maintained a lifestyle that’s healthy, and she sells a collection of DVDs offering the same advice. She also featured on both FitTV and ESPN Fitness Pros. Webb has a master’s degree in physical education and she’s the current CEO of a San-Diego-based athletics club called Webb International. Webb is married to plastic surgeon Paul Chasan.
Michael Jackson – 50
The King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, definitely doesn’t need any introduction. Although he has passed on, we doubt he will need an introduction for a couple of generations to come. In spite of his countless controversies, he was an icon and a force to reckon with in the music industry. He is the sole artist to have received eight Grammy Awards in just one night! He is an immensely talented man, who will surely be missed for several reasons! With a huge net worth, he probably left his three children more than enough inheritance to support them.
Jonathan Ke Quan – 47
Have you watched the films The Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom? If you have, then you must have seen Jonathan Ke Quan in action! After doing two blockbusters and establishing a name for himself in the entertainment industry, he chose not to go big. He slowed down instead by selecting several minor roles until 2002. At the moment, he is placing his efforts in being a stunt choreographer and on working behind the camera instead of in front of it!
Justine Bateman – 53
Though you don’t see Justine Bateman that often anymore, she used to be a big deal back in the ’80s. Bateman managed to join the cast of some iconic TV series, including Desperate Housewives and Californication, but she’ll always be remembered for her work on Family Ties. This sitcom which aired in 1982 was a big hit during that era. Bateman hasn’t acted since 2013, and it looks like she currently uses her money to focus on producing and directing. She produced, wrote, and directed a film called Five Minutes, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2017.
William Zabka – 54
William Zabka played the villain Johnny Lawrence in The Karate Kid. In order to convincingly portray a character who was a black belter in karate, William had to take crash training courses in the martial arts niche to perfect his performance and deliver a believable act! He sure accomplished what he set out to do, with a little help from a background in wrestling. He later went on to earn award nominations for filmmaking. He continues his work in acting, producing, and screenwriting until today.
Kevin Bacon – 61
One thing is for sure about Kevin Bacon—he is a versatile actor! He can take on comedy, drama, or thriller and suspense at the drop of a hat—and that sure is an admirable and impressive skill! He became a star with Footloose, but he’s been recognized for several other roles like that in Apollo 13, A Few Good Men, JFK, and The Following. He is a multi-awarded actor and is the man behind SixDegrees.org, a social networking site designed to connect people to various charity organizations. He’s been married to Kyra Sedgewick for almost three decades!
Daryl Hannah – 58
Her arm and shoulder workout keeps her looking trim—we’re talking about Daryl Hannah. She is the statuesque blonde who, at the very beginning of her career, declined several role offers. Eventually, she accepted one and debuted in The Fury. It was with her performance in Blade Runner that she rose to fame and the 1984 popular fantasy film Splash only served to increase her popularity. She proceeded to try out several things—theatre acting, film directing, and also video documentary directing. Recently, she is an active environmentalist, defending her beliefs with no qualms whatsoever!
Sophia Loren – 87
Sofia Scicolone, who goes by the name Sophia Loren professionally, is one of the most celebrated Italian actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood and one of the last of them still alive. She appeared in many classic movies including Two Women, Marriage Italian Style, and A Special Day. The multi-award-winning Loren is now 87 years old and still likes to playfully fake being 15 years younger, because why not? Enjoying her semi-retired life, Loren recently stated that she prefers to exercise and eat clean to enjoy a tranquil life. She released her memoir Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: My Life in 2014.
Kristy McNichol – 59
Comedian and actress, Christina McNichol, better known as Kristy McNichol, attained stardom by appearing in comedic films back in the 1980s. Her role in the ABCdramaFamilyearned her two Emmy Awards. She retired from acting in 2001 and taught acting classes at a Los Angeles school. In 2012, McNichol confirmed long-held rumors when she came out as a lesbian and revealed that she had been living with her partner for about two decades. She made the bold move to encourage young people who are bullied based on their orientation.
Scott Baio – 58
We’re sure you’ve heard of Happy Days, and perhaps you’ve watched an episode or two from its spin-off show Joanie Loves Chachi. Well, Scott Baio is best known for his role as Chachi Arcola in the shows, though he has several other indie film and TV appearances credited in his portfolio. Scott’s even tried his hand at directing. He is a devout Christian and has been vocal about his views opposing substance and alcohol addiction. He wonders why people become addicted to substances when they are gifted with healthy bodies. He’s got a point, we guess.
Dolph Lundgren – 61
Dolph Lundgren is best remembered for his work in Rocky IV as the Russian Nemesis, Captain Ivan Drago. He flashed his expert acting skills along with his ripped and smoking hot physique in the film (which was probably achieved thanks to a grueling workout plan). This made his level of fame grow exponentially. He acted in more than forty movies over the years and you’d never guess he has an M.A in chemical engineering! You can still find him in franchises like Universal Soldier and The Expendables.
C. Thomas Howell – 52
Who hasn’t watched Steven Spielberg’s 1982 masterpiece, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial? C. Thomas Howell was actually the older brother of Elliot in the iconic film, but Howell is most recognized for having played ‘Ponyboy Curtis’ in The Outsiders. He was a teenage sensation! Quite alarmingly, in 2003, Howell’s appendix ruptured and he almost lost his life as a result. He underwent gastric bypass surgery that resulted in a dramatic weight loss, which he worked hard to gain back!
John Schneider – 58
John Schneider starred in The Dukes of Hazzard and sure got hearts racing! He had the typical high school jock look about him. It must have been quite hot back then, but today, it’s the mature men who are hunks! He’s sure hotter with the cool, mature dad look about him! Schneider got himself in trouble this year for failing to pay his delinquent alimony. Perhaps one of the less scandalous things to find yourself under arrest for, but no good, nonetheless!
Jon Bon Jovi – 58
Jon Bon Jovi was a hot star in the ‘80s and he remains a hunk of a star today! His unusual look—with his tousled hair, chin dimple, alluring blue eyes, and Italian appeal—he sure is a man to make any woman swoon!
His band that rocked three decades ago continues to jam today and he has held himself up rather well! He’s raised a large family and has lived a fairly clean life compared to most rock stars! With his tour successes, we doubt he’ll be in retirement anytime soon!
Chuck Norris – 79
Chuck Norris surprisingly served as an Air Policeman in the U.S. Air Force from 1958 to 1962. After he left the military, Norris began participating in martial arts competitions and soon turned it into a business. He opened a chain of karate schools starting with setting up one in his hometown Torrance, CA. In 1968, he developed a friendship with fellow martial artist and actor Bruce Lee who had at that time gained fame from the TV show The Green Hornet. Norris made his acting debut in 1969, appearing in the film The Wrecking Crew. Norris also appeared in infomercials promoting Total Gym’s home exercise equipment.
Karen Allen – 67
In the 2017 movie A Year by the Sea, actress Karen Allen had the lead role. But her first acting gig came in 1978 in the film, Animal House. Her magic moment in acting came in ’81 with her character portrayal in the full movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. When Allen became a mom, in order to fulfill her desire to spend time with her son, she opted for smaller parts in films. In addition, she began her own textile company, Karen Allen Fiber Arts, and taught yoga. She also became a personal chef and won a competition on the TV show Chopped on Food Network.
Jenette Goldstein – 59
Jenette Goldstein was born in a family of theater enthusiasts and it was natural for her to take up acting classes. While performing in a local theater in London, she landed the role as the Latina character Vasquez in the Aliens movie. Through this role, she shot to fame winning a Saturn Award in 1986. Her impeccable performance on Aliens also earned her a role on Terminator 2 in 1991 and the classic hit Titanic in 1997. Goldstein has been appearing in several theaters, performing classics and contemporary pieces and she’s currently writing her own one-woman show. Goldstein also manages a lingerie boutique dubbed the Jenette Bras.
Harrison Ford – 76
Harrison Ford needs no introduction, especially for sci-fi fans. Since portraying Han Solo in the iconic Star Wars franchise, Ford has been one of the most acclaimed actors in Hollywood, while his starring role in the Indiana Jones franchise only made him wealthier and more famous. Ford is now 76, but he’s definitely not willing to retire. In 2021, he’s set to reprise his role as Indiana Jones on Indiana Jones 5. He’s been married three times, and he’s currently married to actress Calista Flockhart. Ford spends much of his $230-million net worth on aircraft, as aviation is his passion.
Tom Cruise – 56
Tom Cruise is the picture of handsomeness. He has always been described as drop-dead gorgeous or the like, and for good reason! We don’t know whether he’s more famous for his stellar smile or for his acting skills. But jokes aside, he sure is a grand actor and he’s proven his natural talent in a number of films. He’s the recipient of three Golden Globe Awards and has been nominated three times for an Academy Award. His career started in 1981 and it sure has come a long way!
Andrew McCarthy – 56
You must recognize him from either St. Elmo’s Fire, Pretty in Pink or Class. But if you don’t, you definitely know him from the popular shows Royal Pains and White Collar. Andrew McCarthy, who gained great popularity for his roles in the latter two TV shows, later became a National Geographic Traveller magazine editor. He shared with the world that in his earlier years he had battled a drug and alcohol addiction, for which he went to rehab to receive help.
Phil Collins – 68
In the Air Tonight and Another Day in Paradise were just two of the hit songs from the ’80s from musician Phil Collins. An Englishman, he was really famous as a solo artist and had more songs that went to the top of the charts in the US during that decade, than any other artist. He used to be a member of the band Genesis. Collins has built up a lot of wealth and we’re sure he has done his fair share of buying some really cool and pricey stuff. Collin’s health has declined since 2017. His official Facebook page announced that because of back surgery, he had a condition called foot drop.
Bolo Yeung – 73
Bolo Yeung dominated the world of martial arts and bodybuilding back in the 1970s and 1980s. He crossed over to acting and appeared in Kung fu-themed films like Bloodsport. He developed a strong friendship with co-star Jean-Claude Van Damme who starred in the film alongside Yeung.
They teamed up once again for the 1991 action film Double Impact. He also starred alongside his good friend Bruce Lee in the 1973 film Enter the Dragon. The 2019 series, Warrior, pays homage to Yeung with a character called Bolo and is based on Bruce Lee’s writings.
Richard Simmons – 71
Fitness instructor, Richard Simmons, is known for his aerobics video series, as well as, his flamboyant and eccentric style. He often appeared in videos donning his trademark attire which featured candy-striped shorts paired with bedazzled tank tops. He rose to fame in the 1970s when he opened a training center in Beverly Hills to cater specifically to overweight customers. Simmons himself lost 123 lbs thanks to his passion for living in a healthy manner.
Since 2014, Simmons began retreating from public life and fans were concerned about his welfare. He granted the Today show an interview in 2016 to assure his fans that he was fine.
Victoria Principal – 74
You probably remember Victoria Principal from her time on Dallas, the iconic TV series where she appeared for nine years. After portraying Pamela Ewing, Principal founded her own production company called Principal Productions, while she also created her own line of beauty products. However, her business plan was even more ambitious, and she also wrote three publications regarding beauty and staying in shape. In 2018, she revealed that she was working on the fourth one. Principal uses much of her $250-million fortune for humanitarian causes, while she also owns a ranch where she takes care of neglected and abused animals.
Mel Gibson – 63
Mel Gibson was a big star at one point, and then he simply took off into ‘Hollywood exile’ for about ten years long. Gibson was a box office superstar and we think it was Hollywood who couldn’t handle Gibson at the time. After his DUI, he wasn’t allowed to drive anymore, but fortunately, he was spared the prison sentence even when he faced the same charges the second time he was arrested in 2006. It seems that Mr. Gibson has good legal counsel! He’s making a comeback in the acting scene ion Boss Kill in 2019!
David Lee Roth – 65
David Lee Roth was formerly the lead singer of the original Van Halen band, but he eventually chose to go solo in his singing career owing to mounting tension between himself and guitarist Eddie Van Halen. He actually became rather successful as a solo artist and ended up reuniting with the band. They have been touring ever since their reunion. Roth can be found doing several YouTube commentaries as a side job, too. Rumors surfaced about him having announced his retirement from music, creating quite a stir earlier this year!
Jane Fonda – 82
>Jane Fonda, the much-credited fitness expert, activist, and actress, doesn’t need to be introduced. The road of fame began for her in the 1960s. During the 1970s going into the 1980s, she kept traveling this road. Fonda has put out a slew of fitness videos that she has done over time and has made a fortune from. Sure she’s wealthy and a high achiever, but she hasn’t had a picture-perfect life. For instance, in years gone by, she had eating problems and a cancer diagnosis. We’re happy she beat both. The Goldene Kamera award for lifetime achievement was presented to her in 2017.
Robyn Lively -47
Robyn Lively still graces the screens every now and then in TV shows, like her stints in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and in CSI. She sure has aged very well and looks stunning! She first became a favorite in Teen Witch, which she later admitted was difficult when it came to the dancing part! She is actually Gossip Girl star Blake Lively’s sister and is married to actor Bart Johnson. She’s been looking great, thanks to regular exercise and clean eating!
Mickey Rourke – 66
Mickey Rourke was a film star in the ‘80s. He quit his acting career in the ‘90s in order to pursue a career in boxing. The brutal sport left Mickey Rourke’s face battered, broken, and in need of reconstructive cosmetic surgery. Of course, the entire experience left him nigh unrecognizable, and he further shared that he went to the wrong guy for the surgery. Quite a pity. However, he’s still one of Hollywood’s treasured actors!
Jake Steinfeld – 61
Jake Steinfeld is a fitness trainer and specialist who built a name for himself under the Body by Jake brand. At just 14 years old, Steinfeld kickstarted his career as a bodybuilder which earned him massive fame around the early 80s. He also created the 24-hour lifestyle network FitTV and later sold it to News Corp.
He went on to partner with Time Warner, Comcast, and New Balance to create another on-demand TV network. Steinfeld worked with several celebrities including Harrison Ford when he was cast for a role in Indiana Jones.
Goldie Hawn – 73
Goldie Hawn is a legendary Hollywood star who rose to fame on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. Prior to this, she had starred in the comedy film Cactus Flower that won her the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Golden Globes and an Oscar. She also appeared in other successful movies, including Private Benjamin that won her an Academy Award nomination and it did help to increase her star value. After a long break from acting, she returned in 2017, appearing in the action comedy film, Snatched. She’s been in a relationship with Kurt Russell for 35 years and they don’t seem in a rush to walk down the aisle any time soon.
Kirk Cameron – 48
Kirk Cameron found fame in acting with his portrayal of the character Mike Seaver in the popular seven-year-long TV series called Growing Pains. He also acted in Like Father Like Son and left a lasting impression with his stellar performance. It may sound strange, but this former child star was once an atheist but was later baptized as a Christian in Evangelistic faith after a change of heart. He went so far as to co-found an evangelical ministry that was called The Way of the Master. With $20 million to his name, he’ll have no problem going into retirement whenever he pleases!
Judge Reinhold – 61
Meet Edward Ernest Reinhold Jr., who is better known as Judge because his father’s pet name just stuck with him like that. Anyway, he is best recognized for his supporting acting roles in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Beverley Hills Cop, and The Santa Clause. He also appeared in Seinfeld as a guest and has taken on several minor roles recently. While his career has slowed in momentum, it sure hasn’t come to a halt just yet. He hasn’t announced any plans for retirement from his career!
Timothy Dalton – 73
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was already committed to another contract, Timothy Dalton’s acting career would have gone somewhat differently. He had already played James Bond twice in movies, but he wasn’t able to do it the third time, so Pierce Brosnan got the role and became the new Bond. We doubt that Dalton went into a depression over it though. He still impresses people with his acting skills, so his career still has promise. For three seasons ending in 2016, he played Sir Malcolm Murray on Penny Dreadful, an original series on Showtime.
Jeff Cohen – 45
Jeff Cohen was also one of the rather fortunate actors to be cast in Steven Spielberg’s successful film, The Goonies. Cohen portrayed the character of Chunk, the ‘Goonie’ with the largest appetite. We can bet his chubby size helped him land that role! For Cohen, though, his career saw a very short-lived success for it waned very quickly. However, it was as he expected because he had actually prioritized his law degree studies over his acting career. Today, he is the founder of Cohen & Gardner, LLP and is a rather successful entertainment lawyer.
Huey Lewis – 69
Huey Lewis chased after his dreams of having a successful career in the music industry when he bought himself a ticket to the U.S. with his earnings as a successful Blues player in Spain. In 1971, he joined Clover, a music band that later led him to form a chart-topping music group that he called Huey Lewis and the News. He tried his hand at acting with Back to the Future, where he also contributed to the soundtrack for the film.
Alan Ruck – 63
Alan Ruck did a good job playing the part of Ferris Bueller’s hypochondriac close friend in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. He also delivered a great performance in Spin City, as the lecherous member of the mayor’s staff. He has a very diverse acting portfolio, which also includes Speed, Three Fugitives, and Twister. TV appearances naturally followed suit and he was coining it in no time. He still enjoys a solid career today. Alan Ruck seems to maintain a healthy diet or perhaps a good exercise routine because he looks really great!
Eddie Murphy – 59
Eddie Murphy has been cracking people up since the ‘80s. Known for his raucous comedy acts, he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live but soon left to make multi-platinum records. It was during that time that he starred in Beverley Hills Cop, 48 Hrs, and Trading Places.
Eddie Murphy’s career is far from a standstill—he continues acting even today. In 2019, he made us laugh once more with his film Dolemite Is My Name. He is also rather generous, as he has raised funds for good causes and charity.
Jami Gertz – 54
Jami Gertz gained popularity in the ‘80s for performing in films like The Lost Boys and Sixteen Candles. He’s also acted in TV shows like The Neighbors and Square Pegs. She managed to do a number of successful and noteworthy projects in both TV and film, but she has never lost her grounding and has remained generous in spite of her growing wealth. She married the wealthy and successful investor, Antony Ressler, in 1989. With her net worth, she sure could make any number of retirement investments whenever she pleases!
Jon Cryer – 55
You may remember Jon Cryer as Duckie in Pretty in Pink. He gained popularity for his earlier roles in films but it took quite a few years before he found true fame as a TV star. It all happened when he was cast in Two and a Half Men. With the success of that show, several other shows quickly followed as well as guest appearances. He’s married to Lisa Joyner, and they have an adopted daughter called Daisy. He’s looking great but has shared his difficulty with going bald.
Ricky Schroder – 50
Ricky Schroder made his acting debut with The Champ in 1979, a role he delivered so well that it helped him land a role in the TV sitcom, Silver Spoons. He is best recognized for his acting in NYPD Blue, Strong Medicine, as well as in 24. Recently, he is working a lot behind the camera as a producer and director. He has been married to interior designer Andrea Bernard since 1992, and they share 4 children together.
Valerie Bertinelli – 60
American actress and television personality Valerie Bertinelli was very famous for her roles in Touched by an Angel, Hot in Cleveland, and Sydney. She is also popular for hosting cooking shows like Valerie’s Home Cooking and Kids Baking Championship on the Food Network. Reportedly, Bertinelli struggled with severe weight gain but eventually got back on the track after following Jenny Craig‘s weight loss program.
After losing 40 pounds, she then became a spokesperson for the program. Today, at 60 years old, she continues hosting her cooking shows and also likes to call herself a weight-loss activist.
