Yesteryear Celebrities Who are Still Alive and Kickin’
Maria Riva, 97 Years Old
German-American actress, activist and writer Maria Riva was born to German-American actress Marlene Dietrich, and would eventually follow in her mother’s footsteps. She took acting lessons at age 15, and in the ‘50s, starred in plenty of TV shows – over 500 live CBS teleplays such as Hallmark Hall of Fame and The Milton Berle Show! By 1962, Maria retired from acting and moved to Switzerland with her family. In 2018, she made a comeback with a short film, which her grandson directed, but she has largely left show business.
