Entertainment was so different when we were young, wasn’t it? All the big staple names we figured would last lifetimes seem to have faded into complete obscurity. Look, let’s not get down about it; how’s about we have a fond look back at 16 stars of old, and maybe have a (loving) dig at Gen Z along the way!
Burt Reynolds
Remember the mustache that could’ve had its own zip code? Burt rocked it! Gen Z thinks mustaches are a new trend, Burt, with his “Smokey and the Bandit” charm, was way ahead of the curve.
Farrah Fawcett
The golden girl with THAT iconic hair flip! Farrah had posters adorning countless walls. Today’s teens are likely unaware of the OG hair-flip queen.
Erik Estrada
“CHiPs” anyone? Before the police on TV had dark, intense dramas, they had suave Erik Estrada on a motorbike. Gen Z might have “Hot Cops of TikTok,” but Estrada was the real deal.
Charo
Before Shakira’s hips didn’t lie, Charo brought the “cuchi-cuchi” to our screens. Today’s younglings might think it’s a new dance step. Bless their hearts.
Shelley Long
Cheers to the bar where everyone knows your name, and Shelley was the face of it. Fast forward, and Gen Z is like, “Shelley who?” while ordering non-alcoholic craft beers. Depressing, honestly.
Lee Majors
“The Six Million Dollar Man” – because inflation wasn’t a thing yet. Lee might not make the Gen Z influencer list, but in our books? He’s priceless.
Barbara Eden
If Gen Z found a genie in a bottle, they’d probably think it’s a new Bluetooth speaker. They’re missing out on Barbara’s classic “I Dream of Jeannie” charm.
David Hasselhoff
The Hoff! King of slow-mo beach runs. Sure, Gen Z might only know him for meme reasons, but Baywatch? That was pure, unfiltered Hasselhoff magic.
Alan Alda
“MAS*H” isn’t a sound effect; it’s TV gold with Alan Alda at the helm. Ask a youngster about it, and they might think it’s an app update.
Dawn Wells
As the iconic Mary Ann on “Gilligan’s Island,” Dawn was America’s sweetheart. In today’s age? Well, let’s just say she’d probably dominate “Survivor.”
Linda Evans
“Krystle Carrington” before memes were a thing. If Dynasty happened today, Gen Z would flood Twitter with GIFs of Linda’s fabulous dramatic pauses.
Larry Hagman
If your oil tycoon hat doesn’t tip for J.R. Ewing, were you even watching ’80s TV? Larry ruled “Dallas.” Today’s kids would likely assume he was doing some sort of viral dance trend.
Hal Linden
As “Barney Miller,” Hal kept the peace. The show might be a vintage gem, but Hal’s charm? Timeless. Sorry, Gen Z, some things you just can’t stream.
Loretta Swit
Another “MAS*H” icon! Loretta was the heart and soul of the OR. Nowadays? No, she’s not a ‘wellness influencer’, kids.
Tony Randall
Before there was Sheldon Cooper, there was Felix Unger. Tony Randall brought the quirky neat freak to life in “The Odd Couple.” He was the original – and we would say better – model.
Bea Arthur
Golden Girls without Bea Arthur? As unimaginable as avocado toast without the avocado. While her sass might be legendary for Boomers, Gen Z might know her only as “that meme lady.”
