‘The Four Seasons’ 1981 Cast: See What the Stars Are Doing Now, Over 40 Years Later
With Netflix's new series, see where the movie's stars—Len Cariou, Alan Alda, Carol Burnett—are now
Before there was the Netflix series The Four Seasons, starring Tina Fey and Steve Carrell, there was the 1981 film written by and starring Alan Alda, along with a stellar cast of Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno and Len Cariou.
A group of friends, made up of three couples, often vacation with one another every new season, but when Nick (Cariou) shows up with his new, much younger, girlfriend (Bess Armstrong) instead of his now ex-wife, the friend group has to adjust to this new change. Although proving difficult, lifelong friends are stuck with each other for… well, life.
The Four Seasons was a box office success upon its release, becoming one of the top-grossing films of the year. Now, nearly 45 years later, it’s been adapted into a series on Netflix of the same name. Before you binge the show (or if you already have), catch up with the cast of the film and see where the stars are now!
