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.
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.
