Now, how many of us here, who can navigate the web well and get access to articles such as this, can still recognize these classic men and women of Hollywood? Although a great number of us may not anymore recognize most of them, Hollywood, however, cannot deny that there was a time these faces dominated stages, theatres, films, and tv screens. They were so popular back in the days that our parents or even grandparents would’ve owned at least a poster of them in their rooms. Here’s a unique trip down memory lane as we recall and give credit to renowned people from the past. Hush now, as some of them may just act in some of the most recent films and you probably didn’t even tell their faces!

JOHNNY DEPP, 58 YEARS OLD

The whole world probably knows who Johnny Depp is. Aside from being an actor, he’s also a producer and a musician. The 58-year-old star has been in the business since the early 1980s, debuting in the horror movie A Nightmare on Elm Street. He then rose to prominence when he received an acting credit from 21 Jump Street. From there, he made several independent films until he became one of the world’s biggest and most commercially successful film stars and highest-paid actors.

Depp also receives critical praise for his incredible acting and is famous for his frequent collaboration with the director Tim Burton. However, his name again made noise after his separation from ex-wife Amber Heard, to whom he had a legal battle and won in the U.S.

AMBER HEARD, 36 YEARS OLD

Amber Heard started in the entertainment business in the early 2000s and made a name through the movies Never Back Down, Drive Angry, The Rum Diary, and, of course, the DC Extended Universe film Aquaman. However, she became more known for being the former wife of Johnny Depp.

The two tied the knot in 2015 but quickly called it quits after just two years. From there, they went through a bloody legal separation that drew huge media attention all over the world. They also needed their own set of lawyers to defend themselves. Their legal battle went on for years, and in their trial in 2022, Depp won over Heard, though it remained to be seen if their fight in the court would finally end here.

ROBBY BENSON, 66 YEARS OLD

One memorable role played by Robby Benson was in the 1977 film One on One as Henry Steele, a high school rising basketball star from a small town in Colorado. He supposedly won a college scholarship, so there were supposed to be no student loans, and in exchange, he played basketball. This film made the now-66-year-old actor prominent back in the day, and so it was followed by more projects, like Beauty and the Beast, Ice Castles, and Walk Proud.

The actor has been married to his wife, Karla DeVito, since 1982. Looking back in time, the two met when they starred together in The Pirates of Penzance, which got released in 1983. The couple shares two children. Nowadays, Benson is still working on various gigs. He ventured into video games, taking on his role as the Beast in several action games developed over the years. The latest screen appearance was A Feeling of Home, a Hallmark Channel TV film.

The 39-year-old star made a huge impact at the time and was even nominated for an Academy Awards, a feat that very few could claim. In short, she became famous overnight.

The actress has always acknowledged her struggle with her body weight. In fact, she has made a lot of effort to reduce it. She also underwent therapy to deal with the various issues she had. The actress became serious about weight loss before 2017, and she has lost a lot since then. She even wrote a memoir about her life, a worthy investment for anyone who wants to be inspired.

BERNNADETTE STANIS, 64 YEARS OLD

BernNadette Stanis will always be remembered for her role as Thelma Evans in the hit sitcom Good Times. Her character became so popular that every Black girl was assumed to be like her in the 1970s. She was the epitome of a good girl in the sitcom, which reflected the kind of attitude Stanis had in real life. Growing up in New York, the actress is used to the stresses of city life and the great degree of challenges one has to hurdle one day. These were synthesized and taken into account when she acted on the screen.

Stanis has retained that youthful look from the show, and many will be surprised to know she is already 68 years old. We can perhaps have a glimpse of her secret from the four books she has written so far. This shows that Stanis is not only talented but also intelligent and witty.

CHRISSY METZ, 41 YEARS OLD

One thing that people appreciate about Metz is that she does not easily give up. When she was younger, she wanted a pair of sneakers worth $120 and instead of obtaining a personal loan; she worked at a fast-food chain to save money. She has shown that kind of grit when trying to lose weight and based on reports, she has lost 100 pounds after five months of a calorie deficit diet.

Pauley Perrette, 53 Years Old

We’re all aware of the notion that just about everything has some degree of connection with everything else, that the world has some way of bringing things full circle. Well, such was the case with Pauley Perrette, who had quite a fascination with all crime subjects.

Many can remember the rise of Susan Boyle as a world-renowned singer. Already gaining success by winning several singing competitions, she became first known to the world when she auditioned on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. Initially, she was not regarded as a serious contender due to her appearance, which shaped the opinion of some. However, her rendition of the Les Misérables song I Dreamed a Dream wowed both the judges and audiences and put doubts about her talent to rest. While she only got 2nd place, in the end, she left a great impression on everybody, particularly Simon Cowell, who put her under his management and made her into a global star.

Today, at age 60, Boyle has undeniably been successful in her music career. She has done several world tours since and has been a well-known figure online, with her Britain’s Got Talent audition garnering hundreds of millions of views.

Jennifer Grey is one of those actresses that may have been an A-list star today but got derailed somewhat due to unfortunate circumstances. She became known during the 1980s for her iconic roles in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Dirty Dancing, and Red Dawn. While her roles during that time made her a superstar in the making, two events changed her fortunes. First, she suffered a severe injury in a car collision in 1987 while with her boyfriend, Matthew Broderick, who starred as Ferris Bueller. Second, her rhinoplasty operation in the early 1990s made her unrecognizable even to her close friends.

Grey, who is now 61, has managed to restart her career, beginning in the late 2000s. Her performance and eventual win in Dancing with the Stars in 2010 can be credited for her career resurgence. She has starred in the comedy series Red Oaks and lent her voice in Phineas and Ferb during its run. Overall, Grey’s career has been quite good.
