Leonard Whiting – 1950
Leonard Whiting is an English singer and actor most famous for his characterization of Romeo in Shakespeare’s
Romeo and Juliet, the 1968 film version. He co-starred with Olivia Hussey, who played Juliet and took home a Golden Globe Award for his efforts. Forty-six years later, he was back working with Olivia again for the 2015 film,
Social Suicide. The movie is a British dramatic romance psychological thriller, which is based on
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. That role was Leonard’s career exit. He now leads a quiet existence in retirement, in London. Three years after his final bow, his wealth stands at $9 million. Not too shabby at all!
