At 85, Marlo Thomas Is A Shadow Of Her Former Self

Katharine Ross, born in 1944 in Hollywood, California, seemed destined for stardom from an early age. Despite initially pursuing a different path under the influence of her father’s more traditional career expectations, Ross’s passion for acting could not be quelled. After his untimely death, she embraced her true calling, moving to Hollywood to pursue acting seriously at the age of 22. Her film debut in “Shenandoah” marked the beginning of what would be a distinguished career.

Ross’s impact on the film industry became evident through her roles in three landmark films: “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969), “The Stepford Wives” (1975), and the critically acclaimed “The Graduate” (1967). These roles not only showcased her versatility and talent but also solidified her status as a significant figure in Hollywood.

Despite her success, Ross stepped back from acting in 2001, choosing to appear only when the right roles came along, allowing her to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life in her golden years. Now, with a net worth of $5 million, she enjoys the financial stability and respect she earned from her illustrious career.

Ali MacGraw, another icon, began her career in the 1960s as a model before making a swift and impactful transition to acting. She gained international fame with her role in “Goodbye, Columbus” (1969), for which she won a Golden Globe, and continued her success with “Love Story” (1970), earning an Oscar nomination and another Golden Globe.

Today, MacGraw is less focused on acting and more dedicated to animal rights activism, working with organizations like PETA. Her shift from Hollywood to humanitarian efforts showcases her multifaceted personality and ongoing influence.

These remarkable women, each with their unique journey and contributions, have left indelible marks on both the entertainment industry and the causes they are passionate about. Their legacies are defined not just by the roles they played on screen but also by their personal commitments and enduring influence off-screen.
