Let’s make one thing clear: Linda Kozlowski didn’t retire because she fell from grace and had to settle for made-for-TV roles. She retired because, while she was putting maximum effort into her performance, those around her were treating the roles like they were below them.

Of course, a part in “Backstreet Justice” is a long way off from her role in the smash hit 1986 film “Crocodile Dundee.” She even married leading man Paul Hogan, although they eventually got divorced after she had her final role in “Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.” At least her lower workload has left her less stressed and still looking youthful.

She has also made several appearances in similar roles. These include films like “The Island of Dr. Moreau” and “Almost Famous.” Her image hasn’t changed much over the years, and she still looks as stunning as she did in her time on “The Craft.” This is evident with her role in the series “Paradise City.”

Marlo Thomas (84) – That Girl

While it’s not uncommon for an actor or actress to be known for a particular role, in Marlo Thomas’s case, that is a little unfair. While she is best recognized for playing Ann Maie in the series “That Girl,” She is renowned for her versatile award-winning performances in several productions.

Some of her awards include Four Emmy, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy award. for her work on the children’s recording “Marlo Thomas and Friends: Thanks & Giving.” To maintain her youth, she mixes SPF into her moisturizer uses anti-aging cream.

In the latter show, she played Fallon Carrington Colby and earned a Bambi Award in 1984. Funnily enough, she was renowned for her doe-eyed look, something that she has maintained over the years. This is evident when she returned to “Nancy Drew” in a 2019 pilot for a reboot of the franchise.

Lisa Hartman (65) – Knots Landing

As a singer and actress, Lisa Hartman was the perfect fit to play rock singer Ciji Dunne in the popular show “Knots Landing.” This played into her ambitions of being a singer, which she achieved by recording four solo albums between 1976 and 1987.

But she also had various other roles, including parts in films like “Lovely But Deadly.” She also had episodic roles in shows like “Ally McBeal” and “Hunter” among many others. In 2021 she had a part in a film called “The Contested Plains” and still looks as immaculate as she did in her breakthrough role.

She is also noted for small roles in films like “Earth Girls Are Easy” and running for Governor of California. In 2022 she’ll appear in a biography called “Angelyne.”

Patti Smith (75) – Because The Night

Forget Greenday and Blink 182; if you want to see a punk rock icon, look no further than Patti Smith. A rebel, if you ever knew one from a time when they were not exactly in abundance, this ’70s icon is renowned for mixing poetry into her music, similar to Lou Reed, another icon from the era.

One of her best know songs is a hit called “Because the Night,” co-written with “The Boss” Bruce Springsteen. This is her highest-charting song, breaking the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. While she has aged physically, she still has a youthful glint in her eye.

She then landed another leading role in the iconic series “Desperate Housewives.” It’s difficult not to recognize her in either role since she didn’t age a stitch between the start of one and the end of the other. This is thanks to her using sunscreen regularly. In 2021 she starred in a TV film called “A Kiss Before Christmas.”

Priscilla Barnes (67) – Three’s Company

Every sitcom has the sultry beauty that has the guys eating out of her hand at every episode. On iconic sitcom “Three’s Company,” that person was Priscilla Barnes. She played the character Terry Elden from 1981 to 1984, offering that aspect of the character balance in abundance.

Her popularity didn’t end there, and thanks to her work on that show, she also landed some film roles in “Licence to Kill” and “The Devil’s Rejects.” She is still quite youthful despite the lines on her face, and she showed this in a 2022 short film called “Un plan simple.”

Not many people can boast the career Grace Jones has had. She has been a Bond Girl, a model, and a music icon, while also influencing big names in the industry. This includes Lady Gaga, Annie Lennox, and Lorde, among many others. She also more than matched Arnold Schwarzenegger for toughness when they starred together in “Conan The Destroyer.”

Her method for remaining youthful and full of like has nothing to do with putting products on her face. Instead, she focuses on eating healthy and living an active lifestyle. She has also still been quite active and in 2020 appeared in the documentary “Helmut Newton: The Bad and the Beautiful.”

Lisa Bonet (53) – The Cosby Show

One thing that proves how well Lisa Bonet has aged is that her soon-to-be ex-husband Jason Momoa was infatuated with her since he was a child.

She even dated him for a while, although that didn’t work out. What did work out was her stint on the popular show “Hee Haw.” She also had a short music career, although she eventually retired from the entertainment industry in 1980 after marrying real estate developer George Gradow in 1979.

Some of these include TV film roles in “Rage of Angels” and the 1988 version of “The Bourne Identity.” She also forayed into the business world and started her line of clothing, furniture, and wigs. She even has her skincare line as well, which is probably why she has such an immaculate skin tone.

Vanna White (64) – Wheel Of Fortune

Since 1982 Vanna White has been turning heads and turning letters as the hostess of the long-running game show “Wheel of Fortune.” But over the four decades she has been on the show with main host Pat Sajak, it’s almost certain that she hasn’t aged a day.
