The Iconic Celebrities We Had No Idea Are Still Alive

Mary Rand (Born In 1940) – Olympic Games

In 2021, the tabloid newspaper The Mirror celebrated 120 years of female Olympians with the help of Britain’s first track and field gold medalist: the one and only Mary Rand. Pretty much considered to be a national treasure in the United Kingdom, Rand remains the only female British athlete to land three medals (gold, silver, and bronze) in a single edition of the Olympic Games (1964 Tokyo).

Awarded the Freedom of the City honor in 2012, Rand was married on three occasions and has three daughters. As of 2022, she’s believed to reside in Atascadero, Los Angeles, in a home she shares with her husband John Reese.
