More than 35 years since the release of Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, finally hit the big screen in 2024, boasting an all-star cast including new faces such as Jenna Ortega, Monica Bellucci, Willem Dafoe, and Justin Theroux.

While several original cast members signed up for the sequel, others opted not to return. But that's not to say they haven't been busy in the meantime.

Read on for a trip down memory lane as we take a look at the stars of Beetlejuice then and now and discover who's the richest today.

All dollar amounts are in US dollars.

Character actor Jeffrey Jones played the buffoonish Charles Deetz in Beetlejuice.

Jones was already an accomplished actor before landing the part, having made his screen debut in the 1970 political drama The Revolutionary.

His other early credits include TV shows Remington Steele and The Twilight Zone, and he also had roles in 80s fan favourites such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Howard the Duck.

Jones went on to work with Beetlejuice director Tim Burton on the 1994 biographical drama Ed Wood and the 1999 gothic horror Sleepy Hollow. You might also recognise him from family-friendly films like Stuart Little and Dr. Dolittle 2.

The veteran actor starred in the Western TV show Deadwood between 2004 and 2006 and most recently reprised his role in the 2019 movie adaptation of the popular series. Despite frequently collaborating with Tim Burton in the past, Jones did not return for the Beetlejuice sequel. 

His decade-spanning career has earned him an estimated net worth of $2 million (£1.6m). 

Canadian-American actress Catherine O’Hara played the eccentric Delia Deetz.

O’Hara got her start on the comedy sketch programme The Wayne & Shuster Show in 1975. Other early roles include the 1980 rom-com Nothing Personal and the 1985 black comedy After Hours, though Beetlejuice signalled a big break for the comedic star.

O'Hara has continued to work with Tim Burton over the years and has voiced characters in his spooky animated flicks, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Frankenweenie.

She's also known for appearing in the beloved Christmas classic Home Alone and its sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Most recently, to the delight of fans, she reprised her role as Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (pictured).

Her estimated net worth is a very respectable $10 million (£8m).

Winona Ryder portrayed goth teenager Lydia Deetz.

The actress made her silver screen debut at 15, appearing in Lucas alongside Charlie Sheen and Corey Haim. 

Her performance in the 1986 comedy-drama caught the attention of Tim Burton, who then cast Winona in her breakout Beetlejuice role.

Winona achieved Hollywood icon status during the 1990s thanks to her starring roles in movies such as Bram Stoker's Dracula, Little Women, and The Crucible.

Like some of the other Beetlejuice cast members, Ryder has continued her professional relationship with Burton over the years. She starred in his 1990 gothic fantasy flick Edward Scissorhands, voiced a character in his 2012 kids flick Frankenweenie, and returned as Lydia Deetz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (pictured).

The accomplished star currently has a lead role in the smash-hit Netflix show Stranger Things and will reportedly earn $9.5 million (£7.6m) for her upcoming performance in the fifth and final season of the sci-fi series.

That aside, Winona Ryder's net worth is estimated to be an impressive $18 million (£14m).

Geena Davis played Barbara Maitland, one of the ghosts that haunt the home of the Deetz family.

Davis started out as a model and pivoted to acting after being cast in the cult-classic comedy Tootsie (1982).

Before Beetlejuice launched Davis to mainstream stardom, she also had small roles in the TV shows Knight Rider and Family Ties, and a lead part in the 1986 creepy-creature movie The Fly.

You probably recognise Geena Davis from movies such as Thelma & Louise, A League of Their Own, and the Stuart Little franchise.

Meanwhile, her TV credits include popular shows like Will & Grace, Grey's Anatomy, and the Netflix series GLOW.

Unfortunately for fans of Davis, she did not make an appearance in the Beetlejuice sequel. When asked why she wasn't set to reprise her supernatural role by Entertainment Tonight, Davis had a very logical answer: "Ghosts don't age."

Sources suggest that Davis's net worth sits somewhere between $30 million (£24m) and $38 million (£30m).

Michael Keaton played the villainous titular character in Burton's cult classic. 

The actor got his start on the beloved children's TV show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood in 1975, and his other early roles included the comedy movies Night Shift (1982) and Johnny Dangerously (1984). 

Now a bona fide Hollywood star, Keaton's kooky Beetlejuice role marked a big break for him.

Just one year after Beetlejuice, Keaton collaborated with Burton again by playing the titular superhero in the director's Batman adaptation. He also starred in the 1992 sequel, Batman Returns.

Keaton is famed for his roles in a number of other movies, including the heartwarming holiday flick Jack Frost, the action-packed Need for Speed, and the superhero saga Spider-Man: Homecoming. Most recently, Keaton reprised his iconic role as the eccentric Beetlejuice (pictured). 

Sources estimated his total fortune at $40 million (£32m).

Alec Baldwin played Adam Maitland, Barbara's husband and another ghost who's set on haunting the Deetz family. 

Baldwin started his career with a regular role in the NBC series The Doctors, in which he starred between 1980 and 1982.

He also appeared in the Dallas spin-off Knots Landing between 1984 and 1985, and starred in the movies Forever, Lulu (1987), and She's Having A Baby (1988) before Beetlejuice catapulted the young Baldwin to Hollywood stardom. 

Today, the versatile actor has starred in movies including the war epic Pearl Harbour, the family flick The Cat in the Hat, and the pulse-racing Mission: Impossible franchise. He's also lent his voice to huge animated franchises such as Madagascar and The Boss Baby.

He's also famed for his long-running role in the comedy series 30 Rock. He starred in the satirical NBC sitcom between 2006 and 2013 and reportedly earned a cool $300,000 (£240k) per episode. 

Baldwin did not appear in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, likely for the same reason his co-star and on-screen wife, Geena Davis, did not return.

The Hollywood star's estimated net worth is $70 million (£56m), making him the wealthiest Beetlejuice star by a longshot.

Now let's take a look at some of the Beetlejuice stars who are sadly no longer with us...

The late Glenn Shadix played the flamboyant interior designer Otho in Beetlejuice.

Shadix started his career with cameo appearances in the 1981 thriller The Postman Always Rings Twice and the popular TV series The Golden Girls.

He also scored a minor role in the made-for-TV movie Student Exchange before Beetlejuice put him firmly on the map.

Like many of his Beetlejuice co-stars, Shadix continued his working relationship with Burton, voicing a character in The Nightmare Before Christmas in 1993.

You might also recognise Shadix from TV shows such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and ER. He primarily worked as a voice actor, with animated projects such as Men in Black: The Series, Teen Titans, and The Batman among his credits.

Shadix sadly died in 2010 after he tripped and fell in his home. He was 58 years old.

His estimated net worth at the time of his death was between $1 million (£800k) and $5 million (£4m).

The late Sylvia Sidney played Juno, the quick-tempered afterlife caseworker.

A seasoned Hollywood star, Sidney made her acting debut in the 1926 horror movie The Sorrows of Satan.

Her impressive pre-Beetlejuice filmography also includes the 1932 musical Madame Butterfly, the 1952 adaptation of Les Misérables, and the 1973 drama Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams. Her powerhouse performance in the latter earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

After Beetlejuice, the veteran actress featured in TV shows such as The Equalizer, Thirtysomething, and Fantasy Island.

Sidney's final silver screen performance was in the 1996 Tim Burton movie Mars Attacks! (pictured). She died three years later, at the age of 88.

Sylvia's career, which spanned seven decades, earned her an estimated net worth of between $1 million (£800k) and $5 million (£4m).
