The Oldest Celebrities who Are Doing Amazing in Retirement

Joy Harmon – Age 82

Former actress Joy Harmon is most well-known for her scene-stealing performance in the popular Stuart Rosenberg film Cool Hand Luke. Though her acting career was brief, Harmon has found success as a baker and businesswoman.

Groucho Marx first saw the beautifully adorned Joy, a Flushing native, as a guest on You Bet Your Life. He then encouraged her to collaborate with him on Tell It to Groucho. She made more money as a pin-up girl in the late 1960s and early 1970s with only a few television appearances to her credit, but she eventually gave up acting. Afterward, Harmon created Aunt Joy’s Cakes since baking has always been one of her passions.
