Elisabeth Shue – 55

She was so eager to become an actress, that one semester shy of completing her studies at Harvard University in 1985, Elisabeth Shue withdrew to begin a career in acting. She was seen in various productions which included the Back to the Future franchise, Adventures in Babysitting, and The Karate Kid. Shue didn’t just leave her higher studies hanging though. In 2000, she returned to Harvard to earn a B.A. in Political Science. In the movies Death Wish in 2018 and Battle of the S**** in 2017, she was cast as a supporting character.
