If the adult film industry has a Queen, then it’s Jenna Jameson (after all, most people call her with that specific nickname). After working as an exotic dancer in the early ’90s, Jameson shot her first adult film in 1994, and the rest was history. She’s now won over 35 adult-film awards, probably making her the most popular actress of all time.

Her retirement from the adult film industry came in 2008 when she announced it herself. Since then, Jameson ventured into business by founding her own adult film company ClubJenna, while she also released her autobiography back in 2004, which became a New York Times best-seller.

She later signed a contract with Paramount Pictures and skyrocketed to international stardom with roles in films like Houseboat and It Started It Naples.

Loren is now 87, and we can’t help but wonder what her anti-aging secrets are, as she looks younger than she is. She slowed down on acting since the ’70s when she decided to start a family with Carlo Ponti Sr., the only man she ever married. Though she’s heading towards her 90s, Loren will star in an upcoming film titled The Life Ahead.

As a young teenager, Kristy McNichol was a household name, playing Letitia Buddy Lawrence on Family. She was born in 1962 September, meaning that she is 59 years old by now. Just by looking at her, we’d guess that she’s at least a decade younger! Kristy’s been living a private life, off the spotlight, since the ’90s.

In 2001, she also came out for being in a long-lasting relationship with her partner, Martie Allen. It’s clear how well these years have been treating her, as she looks fantastic. Kristy’s been working as an acting teacher in Los Angeles, where she and Martie live.
