You May Have Forgotten About These Legendary Stars, But They Are Still Alive And Living Smoothly

Richard Thomas – 73, $6–8 Million

Richard Thomas won Emmys long before there was such a thing as prestige TV. He became the tender, idealistic heart of 1970s television when he played John-Boy Walton on "The Waltons." Not only did that role make him famous, it also made him a cultural icon.

He was in the scary 1990 version of "It" after working in the mountains of Virginia. Decades later, he played a tough CIA boss in "The Americans." In 2022, he played Atticus Finch in Aaron Sorkin's stage adaptation of "To Kill a Mockingbird." He showed that he still has that calm strength and intelligent delivery—what a great actor!

Connie Stevens, 83 -$50 Million

Most movie actors who say they are musicians will largely act and not pay much attention to music. Connie Stevens, on the other hand, isn't that person since she struck that balance early on in her career. The American actress and singer made her first movie, "Young and Dangerous," and the next year she put out her first album, "Concetta." Stevens became more popular after playing "Cricket" Blake in "Hawaiian Eye." This was around the same time that her single "Sixteen Reasons" made her a musical success. We haven't heard any new music from her lately, but her last movie role was in "By the Rivers of Babylon" in 2019, where she played Meredith.
