BETTY WHITE, 96 YEARS OLD
Did you know that Betty White actually launched her career doing radio gigs back in the 40’s? She apparently started out in radio because movie executives did not find her photogenic enough to star in their onscreen projects. We can’t imagine why they would think that, but that was what it was like for her in the beginning. These days, she is the female entertainer with the longest running career on television! She definitely showed those studio executives! Fans have not been quiet about their concern for her health, though it seems like Betty White does not plan on retiring soon. We think we’ll let her decide what’s best for her.
KIRK DOUGLAS, 101 YEARS OLD
This Hollywood actor sure looks like he has luck on his side. Kirk Douglas has appeared in innumerable projects, and he has earned great fame for his acting chops and dimpled chin. Interestingly enough, he has also lived through numerous life-threatening moments! He served in the US Navy during World War II, experienced a helicopter crash back in 1991, and survived a stroke when he was 80 years old.
