Many of the famous people who we fell in love with back then enjoyed having such successful careers. However, consistency is something that not everyone in Hollywood has. You would actually discover that many stars from back then have chosen to enter retirement already.
Years of living under the spotlight probably made them want to experience living a normal life for once. Just because an actor isn’t active anymore, it doesn’t mean that they’re not alive and well. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular Golden Age stars who are blessed in the aging department.
Leslie Phillips, 95 – $245 Million
Actor Leslie Philips is well recognized for the performances he had in shows like Doctor in the House and Carry On. Some of you might also find his voice familiar because he voiced the Sorting Hat in several Harry Potter films.
Although not fully confirmed, sources estimate his fortune today to be at a whopping $245 million. This is one of the reasons why it’s understandable that he doesn’t want to be bombarded with too much acting work anymore. His last on-screen role was in After Death back in 2012.
Sally Field, 73 – $55 Million
Sally Field has a lot to say regarding how Hollywood has evolved because she has been a busy actress since the ’60s. She started out as a TV actress but she eventually established herself as a box office star by the ’70s.
Getting paid a good salary per film allowed her to grow her fortune to $55 million. She’s 73 years old today and is still actively pursuing her craft. Back in 2019, Field starred in National Theatre Live: All My Sons. She’s currently set to star in a new series titled Dispatches From Elsewhere.
Joanne Woodward, 90 – $50 Million
Joanne Woodward is a talented actress who became a household name in Hollywood back in the late ’50s. That’s all thanks to her performance in The Three Faces of Eve. It even won her the Best Actress Award at the Golden Globe and Academy Awards!
Other notable performances she had in her career were in The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds and See How She Runs. Today, her net worth is estimated to be $50 million. Woodward was previously married to actor Paul Newman and never decided to remarry since his death back in 2008.
