30 Stars Now 80 Years Old | Then And Now | Unbelievable!

Although these stars are in their 80s now, their careers are nothing short of timeless and legendary. From Star Trek’s Patrick Stewart to the iconic rock and roll queen Tina Turner, we’ll look at the top stars of previous decades and where they are now.

Patrick Stewart

Patrick Stewart’s acting career began early in life, when his English teacher gave him a copy of Shakespeare and encouraged him to perform. Much of his subsequent career involved work as a member of the Royal Shakespeare company and, despite being a relatively unknown actor, many major television shows.

Stewart didn’t get his Hollywood fame until his mid 40s, when he was selected for the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Despite his initial doubt in the show, Stewart’s fame took off, leading to roles such as Charles Xavier in X-Men. He continues to focus largely on Shakespearean theater.

Raquel Welch

Initially earning the spotlight in 1966 for her role in Fantastic Voyage as Cora Peterson, Raquel Welch’s fame compounded when she subsequently appeared in One Million Years B.C. wearing only a two-piece deer skin bikini. She was largely regarded as one of the most desirable and beautiful actresses throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
