50 Beloved TV & Movie Stars of the ’70s–’90s — What Happened to Them? | Then & Now 2026 : https://youtu.be/pCAWKeEBYsE
Success rarely follows a straight road — even for the stars we once saw every week on television and movie screens.
In this nostalgic Then & Now 2026 journey, we revisit 50 beloved TV and movie stars of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s and discover the unexpected paths their lives took after fame.
Some waited decades for the role that finally changed everything. Others overcame addiction, rejection, personal hardship, or years of uncertainty before finding success. A few stepped away from Hollywood entirely, while others continued performing well into their 70s and 80s.
From Leslie Uggams, Daniel J. Travanti, Sam Shepard, Lorne Michaels, Lin Shaye, Chevy Chase, Stockard Channing, Penny Marshall, Richard Moll, Beverly D’Angelo, John Cleese, Joe Pesci, and many more, these familiar faces remind us that success can arrive at any age — and sometimes in ways no one expects.
Some became legends late in life. Some reinvented themselves behind the camera. Others chose quieter lives away from fame. And some beloved stars are sadly no longer with us.
Which star’s journey surprised you most? And whose story inspired you to believe that it’s never too late to change direction or find success?
