These Iconic Stars Are Still Living and Doing Fine! Discover What They’re Doing Now

Barbara Parkins – Age 80 – Born in Vancouver, Canada

Barbara Parkins is a real "60s icon" because of her great roles in "Peyton Place" in 1964 and "Valley of the Dolls" in 1967. During the period that "Peyton Place" was on the air, she was the only woman in the cast to be nominated for an Emmy. Before she was nominated for an Emmy for Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 1966, Parkins worked as a backup vocalist and performer for famous people like comedian George Burns.

She started with the low-budget criminal comedy "20,000 Eyes" in 1961 and then guest-starred on shows including "Leave It to Beaver," "The Untouchables," "Perry Mason," and "The Wide Country." Perkins hasn't been on TV since 1998, when she retired.

Dan Aykroyd – Age 70 – Born in Ottawa, Canada

Most people know and remember Dan Aykroyd from his four seasons on "Saturday Night Live." He was already on the show's payroll, writing for $278 a week before the first episode even aired. The original group of performers was officially called "The Not Ready for Prime Time Players" during the show's run. This name fit nicely with the show's quick pace and frequent ad-libbing. Aykroyd is well-known for writing the popular comedies "The Blues Brothers" in 1980 and "Ghostbusters" in 1984, as well as for having millions of Americans watch him every Saturday night.
