Well it’s very sad to know that some of our most skilful and talented movie legends who have thrilled us all with some creative and inspiring acting and impacted the lives of many positively, are no more in the Field they are best known for. Their moments in the movie industry has now become stories.
Not that they are dead, however, most of the actors quit for different reasons such as; marriage (especially for the women), inability to face stiff competition from the younger actors, age related issues, and some simply quit acting for other more pleasing and beneficial career opportunities.
Once upon a time, these actors used to thrill us with their acting skills. In fact, we looked forward to seeing their new movies every time. As the years rolled by, they started disappearing one by one.
