[the_ad id="18192"]

The legendary actress has around 278 acting credits to her name, and she has done justice to all her roles. Leachman earned her bachelor's degree in drama from Illinois State University, and then later enrolled in Northwestern University.

Tippi Hedren started out in fashion modeling and then moved onto the acting world after being discovered by legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock. Her film with him called The Birds earned her a Golden Globe award, as well as international fame.

Tippi is proof that you don't need to go to a fancy film academy to become a big movie star, as she has had a sustained and a rather successful film career without having attended one. She last appeared in The Ghost and the Whale, a 2017 film which, unfortunately, did not do very well.

 

Gene Reynolds, 96, Born In 1923 - Captain Nice

[the_ad id="18192"]

You'd expect the once President of the Directors Guild of America to have at least attended film school, but Gene Reynolds is beyond convention. Although he started off as an actor with a screen debut in the '30s, Reynolds later shifted focus to the behind-the-camera side of the industry and became a producer and a director.

And it is in that capacity that Reynolds achieved true success, especially for having co-created one of the most popular TV shows ever, M*A*S*H. Gene proved that you don't always need a degree to achieve success!

[the_ad id="18192"]

Barbara Eden discovered a gold mine when she landed the role of Jeanie in the popular '60s sitcom, I Dream of Jeannie, a role that catapulted her to the peak of success. But she deserved it, as the singer and actress had received extensive training from multiple institutions, although we're not sure if she actually graduated with a degree from any of them.

Her recent works would show you she is not very active anymore, as the last project she worked on was in 2016 when she lent her voice to a character on an episode of Shimmer and Shine.

[the_ad id="18192"]

If you want to catch a glimpse of the Golden Age of the American film industry, then Kirk Douglas is your last chance as he is one of the few surviving actors from that era. Douglas made his debut in the mid-'40s and ended his career with a role in the 2008 crime film Empire State Building Murders.

[the_ad id="18192"]

Beatty directed films like Heaven Can Wait and Dick Tracy. The last movie he directed and acted in was Rules Don't Apply, in 2016. There is no news about Beatty being checked in the hospital or anything so we're guessing he remains to be very healthy to this day.

Sam Elliott, 75, Born In 1944 - The Big Lebowski

[the_ad id="18192"]

Sam Elliott's signature mustache and deep voice are actually unforgettable. His macho image earned him a lot of prominent roles in Western movies and shows. However, he has also participated in blockbusters such as The Big Lebowski and Ghost Rider. 

Though his hair color has changed, he hasn't lost a bit of his charm even if he's now 74 years old. Another positive fact is that he managed to get past his weed addiction, with which he struggled a lot.

Paul Michael Glaser, 76, Born In 1943 – Starsky & Hutch

[the_ad id="18192"]

Paul started to become a rising star back in the 1960s but the reason behind his hugely successful career was his role in Starsky & Hutch. This television show from the 70s gives Paul the edge that makes him stand strong in the television industry.

With that, this 75-year-old actor also appeared in the Ray Donovan television show till 2014, The Mentalist and more. The actor has not planned on retiring anytime soon. An actor who lost his first wife and two children to HIV, Glaser remains a very inspirational figure in the industry.

Carl Reiner, 97, Born In 1922 - Ocean's 8

[the_ad id="18192"]

For more than seven decades, Carl Reiner has made us laugh consistently and passionately, with his crisp writing and impeccable acting. The fact that he is an all-rounder is evident in his most prominent work, which he wrote, acted in, produced, and created: The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Although all this looks like the result of extensive training acquired through a media degree, apart from perhaps a few workshops, Reiner developed his skills on his own. Although in an uncredited role, you would still catch Reiner in Ocean's 8.

Jerry Lee Lewis, 84, Born In 1935 - Red Oaks

[the_ad id="18192"]

There is a reason why Jerry Lee Lewis is also known as The Killer - he slew his audience with his electric tunes, figuratively of course. His mother also wanted him to get a high education, however, and she enrolled him in a Christian university where performing anything other than evangelical songs was not possible.

But The Killer didn't subside and eventually got expelled from there for playing tunes in his style. Lewis truly has lived a phenomenal life and isn't stopping. He last performed the song, Great Balls of Fire, for the TV show, Red Oaks.

Jackie Mason, 91, Born In 1928 - The Simpsons

[the_ad id="18192"]

Jackie Mason realized he wanted to be a comedian with the passage of time. After securing a bachelor's degree in English and Sociology, he became a rabbi, only to discover that his sermons were becoming increasingly funnier.

With his father's passing, he decided to become a full-time comedian, and it's a good thing that he did because his comic style, sometimes politically incorrect, is one of the most unique the world has ever witnessed. Although he isn't working as much as he used to, he did voice a character in The Simpsons recently.

Richard Dean Anderson, 69, Born In 1950 - General Hospital

[the_ad id="18192"]

An actor who started his Hollywood career way earlier and rose to fame in 1976, he has been appearing as Dr. Jeff Webber in hit television show General Hospital since 1963. But that's not all about his success story.

Richard is also known for performing in television show MacGyver in the 1960s. For someone who never dreamt about making it big as an actor, this television star surely proved himself wrong. With his big break in General Hospital, we don't think he will be going anywhere soon!

Beverly Cleary, 103, Born In 1916 - Two Times The Fun

[the_ad id="18192"]

What makes the writings of Beverly Cleary so emotionally captivating is the depth and emotional realism she brings to her characters. She earned her bachelor's degree in English from the University of California at Berkeley so that obviously contributed to the finesse of her work.

Her novels have been converted into movies and TV shows, most notably the 2010 movie Ramona and Beezus which starred Selena Gomez. Her last work to be published was called Two Times The Fun. It was published in 2005.

He is ranked 22 on the list of Greatest Male Stars by the American Film Institute, which is not a film school; rather, it's an organization that honors and preserves achievements in film. He recently appeared in a documentary about the singer, Sammy Davis, Jr.

Chuck Yeager, 96, Born In 1923 - Flying Without Fear

[the_ad id="18192"]

The reason why Chuck Yeager is on this list is that he was the first to have achieved the supposedly impossible as an Air Force officer: flying a plane at speeds greater than the speed of sound. Yeager went on to create many more records, and after entering retirement, lived to tell the amazing tales of his many adventures while serving in the Air Force.

One such TV movie which chronicles some of his adventures is Flying Without Fear, which is highly recommended to all those who wish to know more about the amazing life of Chuck Yeager.

David Attenborough, 93, Born In 1926 - The Queen's Green Planet

[the_ad id="18192"]

There is a natural calm in the voice of Sir David Attenborough, which is partly why watching Planet Earth was an absolute treat even to those not very fond of documentaries. You'd think that since he's worked with the BBC for so many years that he must have a media degree but in reality,

Attenborough has capitalized on his specialization in natural sciences to create aesthetically appealing yet highly informative and entertaining documentaries. He has been called a national treasure in Britain, although he is not particularly fond of the term.

Dolores Hart, 81, Born In 1938 - God Is Bigger Than Elvis

[the_ad id="18192"]

Can you believe Dolores Hart left a rising and successful Hollywood career to become a nun? Well, she chronicles it all in the 2012 documentary short God Is Bigger Than Elvis. The last time she appeared as an actress was back in the '60s, after which, she entrusted her career management to God.

Hart utilized her skills and expertise in the arts and promoted the development of theater at the abbey, using her fame to generate the required funding for it.

[the_ad id="18192"]

However, as far as skill is concerned, she emerged to become a dancer and was famously hired as Judy Garland's dance stand-in for The Wizard Of Oz.

Although her parents wanted her to pursue further education, possibly a college degree, she chose to enter the profession directly. After The Gabby Hayes Show in 1956, she left acting and became a full-time dance instructor.

Her later success came from MGM musicals, Broadway performances, TV shows, and films. Her last formal screen role was in the TV show Fame, although she has appeared in numerous documentaries after that.

Mickey Kuhn, 87, Born In 1932 - Alfred Hitchcock Presents

[the_ad id="18192"]

It's surprising that Mickey Kuhn rose in prominence for his work in Gone With The Wind, considering he was only around 7 years old at the time. But, being one of the only three surviving cast members of the film today shows how far back Kuhn's career goes.

However, when the time was right to enroll in a film school, Kuhn decided to retire from show-business, and instead went for a career in commercial aviation. He last appeared on a few episodes of the TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Gloria Henry, 96, Born In 1923 - Parks and Recreation

[the_ad id="18192"]

It's very difficult to forget about the stars who were once a part of an amazing sitcom, and the cast of Dennis the Menace holds such a place in our hearts. Gloria Henry, who played the character of Alice on the show, is one such actress. She attended Worcester Art Museum School, although we're not sure if she got her degree or left before its culmination.

Her career progression after Dennis the Menace became very slow, as she appeared in only a few roles after it, including her last appearance on Parks and Recreation in 2012.

Jimmy Lydon, 96, Born In 1923 - St. Elsewhere

[the_ad id="18192"]

Jimmy Lydon's entry into the film world was not a planned venture. Even if he wanted to, his family did not have enough funds to send him to film school. Hence, he had to start acting by lying about past work experience in the field to land auditions. His trick worked, and his first role was in a Broadway play called Western Waters.

He learned the craft as he progressed through roles, and now, after 151 acting credits per IMDb, he is truly among the greats. We don't get to see him on screen now; his last appearance was on the '80s show, St. Elsewhere.

Glynis Johns, 96, Born In 1923 - Superstar

[the_ad id="18192"]

Cora Sue Collins is one of those few actresses who retired quite early (she was only 18 years old) despite a blossoming career, probably because she settled down. Hence, there was no point in going to a film school to further polish her skills like many of her colleagues.

The actress started acting when she was only five years old with the film The Unexpected Father in 1932, so that explains how she amassed 47 acting credits in such a short period, and her last one was for the 1945 film, Week-End at the Waldorf.

Nancy Olson, 91, Born In 1928 - Dumbbells

[the_ad id="18192"]

Unlike many of her contemporaries, Nancy Olson has not retired even now that she is close to hitting 90, and that's maybe because she has enjoyed a very lucrative career over the years. The actress started out towards the end of the '40s and received an Oscar nomination quite early just two years later for her film, Sunset Boulevard.

She is a Democrat at heart and often donates substantially to the party, although none could actually call that charity. After the '80s, she does make an occasional appearance in a movie or TV show, her latest being in the 2014 film, Dumbbells.

[the_ad id="18192"]

Tommy specialized in tap, ballet, and acrobatic dancing styles, which made him quite popular especially during the '50s when he featured in multiple musical comedies.

Apparently, it all started when his mother enrolled him in a dance training program at a young age as he had trouble reading due to a crossed eye. The last time we saw him was on Saturday the 14th Strikes Back, a 1988 fantasy/comedy/horror film.

Overall, the Queen has lived a remarkable life. She is the longest-reigning and the longest living monarch and has seen heads of states come and go while she remains. The public is often given a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Royal Family through TV, although it is often revealed to be quite burdensome.
