#42 Celeste Yarnall

Celeste Yarnall’s IMDb profile states that she “is an amazing woman of many talents who has been very successful in a diverse number of fields. There appears to be nothing she cannot do when she puts her mind to it.” It does seem that she’s accomplished quite a bit after retiring as an actress, including:

• Running her own real estate company
• Managing a number of screenwriters
• Earning a Ph.D. in nutrition from Pacific Western University (and acting as adjunct professor there)
• Writing two books on pet nutrition, Natural Cat Care and Natural Dog Care

Before retirement? Well, we've got some classic B's, a handful of well-known flicks, and tons of TV. She was also an Elvis and a Star Trek babe.
