Re: How many stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood remain with us?


The Newman cancer reports are fairly widespread now and not just tabloid gossip. That is very sad news. Like Heston, he is known for a rock solid long time marriage and for being popular even with those who have different views. There's a civility within that generation that is quite commendable.

Jane Russell is another who is stil with us. Although not active in movies anymore I read a story within the last 18 months that she was performing for seniors at a retirement community. (I don't believe she's a resident there.) Sadly there's probably a whole generation that only knows her from bra commercials.

There's also Joan Leslie, who appeared in YANKEE DOODLE DANDY, and Ann Rutherford of Andy Hardy fame.

Just thought of Eva Marie Saint - who will be 84 this year. Cyd Charisse is 87.

Re: How many stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood remain with us?


I'm not sure if Gloria Stuart has been mentioned yet but she was born in 1910. Appeared in THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE OLD DARK HOUSE and of course TITANIC. TCM and FMC has been showing a lot of her "B" movies and I'm really starting to enjoy her as an actress.

As for Douglas, it's rather amazing at how much he's been doing the past ten years. New books, new movies and even appearing on quite a few television shows. Not too many of the "golden age" actors are as busy as he is.

Speaking of Cyd Charisse, her hubby Tony Martin, who appeared in his share of movies, is 95--and recently had a singing engagement in Manhattan!

P.S. I mentioned Gloria Stuart earlier.

Yeah these cancer reports are all over the Australian press today. Not just in the tabloid gossip pages either. I guess it's weird because you always imagine certain people will live forever.
