Gladys Knight –  1944

Gladys Maria Knight or the “Empress of Soul” is one of the most popular actresses. She is a popular author, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur. She made her debut in 1952  at the tender age of seven in Ted Mack’s The Original Amateur Hour contest.

Since that time, she has added several prestigious awards in her kitty, including seven Grammy Awards, and has been nominated 22 times. She is now part of the music group Gladys Knight & the Pips. And the soulful voice of Gladys makes her a household name even to this day!

She has been hitched four times and has three children from her former marital alliances. She has a net worth of $28 million at seventy-six years of age. We hope she continues to entertain us with her beautiful renditions. We hope she stays healthy and happy in the years to come.
