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

Tom Hanks, 65 – $400 Million

There are probably no lovers of Western movies who don't know who Tom Hanks is. They might remember him from "Splash," "Big," "Forrest Gump," or "Cast Away." Those are just a handful of his most famous movies; there are many more.

Hanks is now seen as one of America's cultural icons since he set the standard for the best movies in the country. In the 1970s, the actor grew up and learned how to make theater from an internship at the Great Lakes Theater Festival. He was then cast as Kip Wilson in the TV show "Bosom Buddies," and the rest is history.

Patricia Richardson, 71 – $25 Million

People can't think of Patricia Richardson without remembering her most famous role on TV, as Jill Taylor in "Home Improvement." But did you realize that she was a last-minute replacement for what many people think is her big break? The actress had just had a baby three months before she was told she would be taking over for Frances Fisher in the sitcom. Who would have thought that the part that wasn't initially designed for Richardson would get her four Emmy and two Golden Globe nominations? The actor went on to star in other TV shows and movies after the show ended. In addition, she went back to the stage, where she got her start, to star in the Bucks County Production's "Steel Magnolias" in 2016.
