Celebrity Then And Now-Who Has Changed The Most?

Hollywood has a reputation for having short careers. It appears that the younger an actor enters the industry, the less probable they will be a working actor, let alone a famous one. Many of us forget that some Golden Age Hollywood legends are still alive and well.

While the average life expectancy has increased throughout the decades, it is rare for people to live 100 years old. On the other hand, these Hollywood stars became well-known for their brilliance and longevity. If you enjoy classic films, you will enjoy this list of long-serving Hollywood legends who also happen to be over 50 years old. Each of these legends has inspired others through their work investments. Let’s figure out who these near-immortal actors are!

Sally Field | Born 1946

Sally Field has gone big on both TV and movie scenes. However, her journey to stardom is not without its struggles. During her formative years as a child, she was subject to psychological and verbal abuse by her stepdad. Field managed to cope by involving herself in the school drama club. Having learned the ins and outs of the craft, Field was offered the lead role in the TV series The Flying Nun at the age of 21.

However, Field yearned for more substantial roles despite the credit she received. She continually broke loose from mediocre parts and pursued what she wanted. The actress has two Oscar Awards under her belt as Best Actress in a Leading Role to date.
