The Only Actors From The Monkees Still Alive Today
Micky Dolenz has kept himself busy in the decades since his days as a Monkee. The actor and musician, who has been married three times and shares four daughters with his exes, told The Sydney Morning Herald that he went into business with his daughter. "I run a woodworking business called Dolenz & Daughters Fine Furniture with my youngest, Georgia, the only one who lives near me in L.A," he said in 2018. "We share a love of handmade furniture; it's a cool bond." He has also logged an impressive list of acting and producing credits through the years, including 2023's "The Zombie Wedding."
Dolenz has not retired from music, as his official website lists some tour dates. In a 2023 interview with KTLA, he joked, "I'm still on the road ... because a moving target is harder to hit." He also teased that he still represents the Monkees onstage. "Always, I always do the big hits and then I just pepper it with different stuff," he said of his shows. "But it's always the big hits, '[Last Train To] Clarksville,' 'Pleasant Valley Sunday,' "[I'm Not Your] Stepping Stone.'" As for talk that The Monkees could be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Dolenz told Forbes he's flattered, but not holding his breath. "That's been going on for years now, fans doing petitions and supporting us," he said. "But I've never chased awards and banners. My big heyday was when we won two Emmys for the television show."
