Lee Majors – 1939

People first saw the talented Lee Majors on TV when he starred in The Big Valley during the ’60s. His fame continued escalating after landing lead roles in other shows like The Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy.

Majors had some significant obstacles over the years, like going through heart bypass surgery, but he overcame them all and is still alive and well today. He isn’t entering retirement anytime soon, and his IMDb page says he will appear in two upcoming films called Renegades and Spring Break ’83.

Tim Curry – 1946

The original horror “It” films featured Timothy Curry as the iconic clown, but he first became a household name as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” movies. He boasts at least 40 credits under his name, but he suffered a massive problem in 2012 when he had a stroke. Because of this, Curry had to use a wheelchair, which may be why we rarely see him. He still does give us his stellar performances by lending his voice to characters, more prominently as Darth Sidious in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”

Tim Matheson – 1947

You might’ve first noticed actor Tim Matheson when he starred in National Lampoon’s Animal House. He then gained even more fame once he joined the cast of The West Wing. His performance in the series got him nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards.

Matheson didn’t only do on-screen work, for he also generated earnings from voice acting. He was the lead voice actor in the show called Jonny Quest. Today, he isn’t turning his back on his acting career yet, and his last acting performance was on an episode of This Is Us in 2021.
