DEBRA WINGER – 64 YEARS OLD

She may have quit acting back in 1995, but her Hollywood resume is anything but lackluster. Debra is most remembered for her roles in An Officer and a Gentleman, Urban Cowboy, and Terms of Endearment. Why did she cut her career short, you ask? Aside from experiencing disillusionment with the industry, she also turned her focus to her family and environmental activism. During this time, she was also performing in theatre stages. She did come out of retirement to star in Big Bad Love and The Lovers. If she does decide to quit for good, we’re sure she’s got enough investments to do so comfortably.

Debra Winger’s decision to pursue a career in acting is a wonderful one. At the age of 18, Winger had a car accident that caused her to have a cerebral hemorrhage. She was told by the doctor that she would never see anything again, but fortunately, she had only been blind for 10 months. During these 10 months, Winger thought about her life carefully and decided that if she can recover, she chooses to become an actress.
