These Older Celebrities Are Still Alike and Kicking Hard
Barbara Mandrell – 76 Years Old
Before she became a famous country singer, Barbara Mandrell was a part of her family’s band, which often played at military bases. Eventually, Barbara went off on her own to start her solo career and became well-known for her covers and country-pop singles. But she never forgot about her family. She even hosted a television show with her sisters called Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters in the 1980s.
In 1997, the singer held her last concert at the Grand Ole Opry house to say thanks to her fans before retiring from the music scene and selling all her instruments. She also took the opportunity to focus on acting for a short time, appearing in TV shows like Baywatch, Empty Nest, and Touched by an Angel in the 1990s. Now enjoying a life away from the public eye, Mandrell lives out her retirement alongside her husband and children.
