Thelma Barlow – 1929
Thelma Barlow, an actress, was a familiar face on the British soap opera Coronation Street for over twenty years. She began her acting career on television and later moved to feature films in the mid-2000s. Her first film role, in Mrs. Henderson Presents, was a success. Barlow has also performed in plays like “Arsenic and Old Lace” and “Blithe Spirit” on stage. Her acting career no longer provides her with a comfortable living, and she hasn’t been cast in a film since 2016’s Florence Foster Jenkins.
Michael J. Fox – 1961
Michael J. Fox’s role as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future films will ensure his immortality in popular culture. However, he was already a household name thanks to his role in Family Ties when he starred in the first film in the franchise. Other than Spin City, he also made an impression in Teen Wolf and The Frighteners. Fox revealed his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease to the public in the late 1990s. Later, he established the Michael J. Fox Foundation to aid in the search for a treatment. His speech and memory have deteriorated in recent years, forcing him into permanent retirement in 2020.
