The Golden Age of Hollywood: Where Are They Now?

Bruce Springsteen - 72

To say that Bruce Springsteen is a famous musician, would be a massive understatement. He first joined the scene in 1975 with the release of Born to Run. It’s almost impossible to believe that he is now 72. But he is still very much active in the biz, having released his 20th studio album, Letter to You, just in 2020. It's estimated that The Boss brings in nearly $80 million in income every year and is already worth a whopping $500 million. 

Mel Brooks - 95

Mel Brooks is one of the most famous Hollywood entertainers still alive today, with an almost 7-decade long career. Best known for his blend of humor and parodies, Mel appeared in TV and movies and became one of the top directors in the biz. His works include Young FrankensteinSilent MovieHistory of the World, Part ISpaceballs, and countless others. Mel is also a proud member of the coveted EGOT winners list, for people who won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and a Tony Award. Brooks most recently returned to Hotel Transylvania, as the voice of Dracula’s father, Vlad.
