Clint Eastwood – 1930

Four Oscars, Golden Globes, and several other accolades, and we can’t keep count again, but we do count on Clint Eastwood always to be phenomenal. One of the few people awarded both as an actor and a director, he gained fame as an actor with the 1959 series “Rawhide.” He won his first Oscar as a director with the 1992 movie “Unforgiven.”

At 92, Eastwood is among the oldest living persons to have won Academy and Golden Globe awards. He was also awarded an honorary Doctorate in Music in 2007. Not letting up, even at his age, Eastwood starred in “Cry Macho” in 2022.

Tippi Hedren – 1930

Tippi Hedren started as a model, and people discovered who she was when she appeared in the magazine Glamour and Life. She later decided to try her luck in Hollywood as well, and her breakthrough performance came in The Birds, which won her a Golden Globe.

Hedren’s other notable roles were in films like Marnie, Citizen Ruth, and I Heart Huckabees. She doesn’t take on that many projects anymore, but she still gets to act from time to time. Her IMDb page says she will appear in a new movie called Unforgettable.

Emil Minty – 1972

Many of you might not recognize Emil Minty because he was only famous in the acting scene when he was a young boy. He appeared in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, and even if he didn’t say any lines, you could easily remember him because of his movie costume as a feral child.

Despite his early start in Hollywood, he decided to stop acting and finish his education. He then became a jeweler and raised two children. Minty didn’t completely close his doors to show business, though, for he did voice work for a video game titled Wasteland 3 in 2020.

Chris Evert Lloyd – 1954

Chris Evert was the best female tennis player globally at one point. She had eighteen Grand Slam wins in her career and was World No. 1 for five consecutive years, logging 260 weeks at the top of the rankings. She eventually became the Women’s Tennis Association’s President and made it into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

Evert remained busy even after retirement because she became an ESPN analyst and put up the Evert Tennis Academy. She also collaborated with Tail Activewear and released a clothing line called Chrissie by Tail.

Eric Clapton – 1945

Eric Clapton is a multi-awarded musician and the only one ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thrice. He was part of Cream, The Yardbirds, and Blind Faith, but he also had a fruitful solo career. You might know him for his hit titled My Father’s Eyes that won him a Grammy Award.

Clapton noticeably aged over the years, and these photos show you how much his hairstyle changed. Despite his more mature image, he’s still the same rock star he has always been. Clapton’s last album was his 2018 release titled Happy Xmas.
