Musician Paul McCartney (1942) wrote "Hey Jude" and "Let It Be" as a part of the Beatles and kept the hits rolling with Wings on "Band on the Run." He broke a nearly six-year silence with the single "Days We Left Behind," then dropped the album "The Boys of Dungeon Lane."
Actress Carol Kane (1952) picked up an Oscar nomination for "Hester Street" and two Emmys for her run on "Taxi." She's been stealing scenes ever since with roles in "The Princess Bride," "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," and "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," and she recently popped up in "Between the Temples."
Actress-model Isabella Rossellini (1952) was the face of Lancôme for 14 years before she broke out as the troubled nightclub singer in "Blue Velvet." She finally picked up her first Oscar nomination playing a nun in "Conclave," and these days she tours her one-woman show "Darwin's Smile."
Singer Blake Shelton (1976) scored his first No. 1 with "Austin" and spent 23 seasons spinning his chair on "The Voice." He's since piled up more than 30 country No. 1s including "Texas," and he traded that chair to executive produce "The Road" on CBS.
