Movie Stars - Who's still with us? (1 Viewer)

Everytime I read about the passing of someone - such as Don Knotts - I always wonder how many are still hanging in there. At the moment a few come to mind ( those at least 75 ) -

Doris Day 81
Kirk Douglas 89
Mickey Rooney 85
Richard Widmark 91
James Arness 82
Clint Walker 78
Hugh O'Brian 80
Glenn Ford 89
Clint Eastwood 75
Charlton Heston 81
George Kennedy 80
Tony Curtis 80
Roger Moore 78
Karl Malden 93
Dick Van Dyke 80
Jerry Lewis 79
Christopher Lee 83
James Garner 78
Harvey Korman 78
Peter Falk 78
Gene Hackman 75
Robert Duvall 79
Paul Newman 81
Christopher Plummer 76
John Astin - 76 (March)
Angela Lansbury 80
Andy Griffith 79
Fess Parker 81
Patrick McGoohan 78
Adam West 77
Patrick Macnee 83
Yvonne De Carlo 83
Cliff Robertson 80
Maximilian Schell 75 (this year)
Barbara Eden 75 (this year)
Larry Hagman 75 (this year)

I think this should be in the "Movies" forum, but here's some:

Joan Fontaine - 88
Olivia De Havilland - 89
Mel Brooks - 79
Leslie Nielson - 80
Sean Connery - 75
Herbert Lom - 88
Michael Gough - 88
Gloria Stuart - 95

Richard Attenborough 82

Lauren Bacall is still alive and working at age 81, as is Joanne Woodward, 76.

Yes, I wondered where to post this but since we are dealing with older stars and their films I thought this would get more response. Mark - you beat me on Sean Connery - my memory is starting to slow down!

Elizabeth Taylor (although just turned 74, not quite 75) is one of the most iconic stars of all time and is still with us.

This site is an invaluable resource for morbidity :

Who's Alive and Who's Dead

Geez Marc, that just spoiled my fun trying to remember all of them. I suppose I could bookmark it for future reference.I'm glad to see some listed I was not sure about are still with us.

Dakota Fanning - 12

Max Von Sydow, age 76.

Yes.....there's not too many left from the Golden Era.

Wouldn't you think that Robert Osborne at TCM or the Academy would travel to these remaining stars and get their rememberances down on film?

Wouldn't you think that interviews should be done for future DVD projects?

When I think of the actors who have passed away in the last few years, it sickens me that more of an attempt to record their thoughts on their careers as well as specific films were not done.

I can't image that many of them wouldn't take the time, depending on their health and memory.

Maureen O'Hara - 80 85 (sorry, typo)
Deborah Kerr - 84
Cyd Charisse - 84
Ernest Borgnine - 89
Hal Holbrook - 81
Van Johnson - 89
Ricardo Montalban - 85
Jack Palance - 87
Eli Wallach - 90
Shirley Temple - 77
Jane Wyman - 92

Bob Barker, 82

Okay, he's not a movie star (although he does have a very small part as himself in 1996's Happy Gilmore) but he is a major television star and the host of the most popular game show of all time. Season 34 of The Price Is Right will wrap up in late May with the 35th year starting in September.

Anita Page - last surviving silent star - 95

Uh, OK. But that would mean that she was only 15 when she starred in How Green Was My Valley (1941). 15? I don't THINK so.

O'Hara is 85. James Earl Jones just turned 75.

Widmark and Day have been mooted for honorary Oscars for years now, but it never seems to happen.

Fanning need not worry. In Hollywood, 12 is the new 9.

Sidney Poitier 79
Harry Belafonte 79
Ruby Dee 83

Harry Morgan - 90
Betty Garrett - 86
Jean Stapleton - 83

Don't forget Jennifer Jones, 87!

BarryM, I coldn't agree more with you. Mr. Osborne, it's time to do homework!. I guess it is rude to approach these personalities in this fashion but I'm sure they would be flattered by it. And their reminiscenses would be priceless.
