LEX LUGER, 60 YEARS OLD

We’re sure you know this already, though we would like to remind you that professional wrestler Lex Luger was once known as “The Total Package”. His career reached its peak during the 80’s and the 90’s when he joined both the World Wrestling Federation and the World Championship Wrestling. Interestingly, he also played professional football at one point and he was with the NFL team Miami Hurricanes during this time. Unfortunately, he had to quit sports altogether when he had a spinal stroke in 2007. However, he still works behind-the-scenes at the WWE in the Wellness Policy team.

RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN, 84 YEARS OLD

Richard Chamberlain’s breakthrough role was the lead role in the NBC show Dr. Kildare. The older readers likely recall the actor as James Kildare, a young intern working at the Blair General Hospital. The drama show proved to be a hit and it landed him other roles in both film and theater projects. If you wish to see more of his work, you will find him in The Bourne Identity, The Thorn Birds, and King Solomon’s Mines. Yes, he was the original Jason Bourne, even preceding Matt Damon! Oh, we have another fascinating tidbit about Richard Chamberlain. He was openly gay after and he even got involved with his Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold co-actor. The first media outfit to have publicized this fact was Nos Deux back in 1989 and Chamberlain confirmed it in his 2003 autobiography Shattered Love.
