Geena Davis

Net Worth: $30 million*
Year of Retirement: Unknown
Where Are They Now: Returned to acting and philanthropy

Geena Davis is best known for her appearances in Thelma & Louise and A League of Their Own, but the actress has stated that after turning 40, good acting assignments have become more difficult to come by. In reality, the only film she made in her forties was Stuart Little, because nothing she was offered was remotely as exciting as any of her prior roles. Davis went on to star in her own sitcom, The Geena Davis Show, which was canceled after only one season, which Davis described as painful. She has since taken on several minor television parts and is deeply committed to philanthropy, founding the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media to combat female stereotypes in children’s television.

Elizabeth Hurley rose to prominence as Vanessa Kensington in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Her career highlights since then have included a collaboration with Estée Lauder and her role as Queen Helena in The Royals. Hurley has stepped away from acting in recent years to pursue other interests. Hurley debuted in the modeling profession at the age of 29, which is unusual in an industry that prefers those in their early twenties. Despite this, Hurley is well-known for her modeling abilities and has maintained a keen interest in fashion, establishing her own swimsuit brand, Elizabeth Hurley Beach, in Harrods in 2005.
