Iconic Celebrities From The Golden Age That Are Still Alive – For Them Age Really Is Just A Number

Caren Marsh-Doll – 1919

Caren Marsh-Doll was the stand-in for Judy Garland in the 1939 classic The Wizard Of Oz. Along with Jerry Maren (who was a Munchkin in the film and part of the lollipop guild), they are the last two surviving cast of the the 1939 classic as of 2018. She started her career when movies were still silent. Hence, she is one of the last surviving actresses from the silent fims era. Slowly, she shifted her focus to dance which became her new-found love. In 1949, she was in a plane crash but survived it with 12 other people. Thankfully, she healed fast and was back in good health. Even now, she volunteers as a dance instructor once a month. She might have taken retirement, but she is never tired of dancing!

 Jacqueline White — 1922

Jacqueline never had a much-prolonged career, but the impact she had on her fans was immense. Being a UCLA student, her performance in Ah, Wilderness! led to her screen test and later on, her first appearance on the big screen with Song of Russia in 1944. Her portrayals in movies like The Narrow Margin and Crossfire are well-remembered until today. Her talent and beauty were mesmerizing, and she started ruling people’s hearts in no time. Though Jacqueline had all the traits of a superstar, she took up retirement when she was still in her hayday, and the 95-year-old now just eases up at her retirement home.

Johnny Crawford – 1946


Some people remember Johnny Crawford as one of the original “Mouseketeers” from Disney, but most remember him as Mark McCain, the son of Lucas McCain in the iconic western series, The Rifleman. At the age of only 13, Crawford had been nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor – which is quite impressive in and of itself. Sadly, Crawford is one of the only remaining cast members still alive from the show, but luckily for us, at the age of 72, he has no set plans to retire any time soon.
