Robert Redford

Redford was a big name in the 60s thanks to the smash hit that was “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” but the real fame came when he dot to star in “The Sting” (1973). He’s almost 80 years old today and has starred in more movies than I can count. Not only that, but he’s also tried directing and producing some films too!

Michael Landon

Do you remember “Bonanza”? Eh, probably not. Well, Michael Landon was a real treat for your eyes in that movie. It helped him get a huge fan following and eventually lead to him earned a Golden Globe nomination in 1979. Sadly. Landon died at the age of 51 in 1991, but his son Michael Landon Jr. is keeping the torch lit. He even took it upon himself to direct a film about the life of his dad, titled “Michael Landon, the Father I Knew.”

John Travolta

“Grease” is one of those movies that you won’t be able to get out of your head for years. And that’s thanks to John Travolta’s stunning performance. This was back in the 70s, and women melted like ice cream under the sun watching him dance. Today Travolta is not that popular, but the 90s and 00s were very generous to his career.
