Johnny Gilbert (94).

Lee Grant

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

[quote] I turn 100 September 16, 2022! Ha!

Good luck, hon.

I refuse to believe that Vera Miles is still alive. I think her family is keeping her death a secret from the world. It would be ironic if her son is crazy and keeping her dead body in the attic like the mother from Psycho.

Jerry Lee Lewis

Stella Stevens

Marie Dressler

Ain't none of them going to beat me!

Traci Lords

BRITNEY SPEARS

Was surprised when I heard Norman Lear was 100 and still in decent shape!

Lear absorbed the lifeforce from O'Connor, Stapleton, Arthur, Macy, Rolle, Helmsley, Sanford, Roker, and Franklin. There can be only one!

Jaye P Morgan

Joan Collins

Brigitte Bardot

Mamie Van Doren.

Rita Moreno.

Chita Rivera.

Henry Kissinger

Michael Caine

Jimmy Page, he's 78, but looks 178.

Those years of heroin, boozing and non-stop groupies have sure taken their toll.

All the ones from the last thread who are still alive.

R39 doesn't get invited to parties very often.

Damn, but he has a good full head of hair, r38.

Jack Nicholson.

David Soul. Not so very old, but looks like hell for 79.

Bruce Dern

Earl Holliman

Earl Holliman is a FAG

June Lockhart, Lassie's mom. There's something to be said of the company of dogs.

Roger Corman

Sofia protrillo

Bob Newhart, a sweetheart of a man, turned 93 this week. He’s looked rough for a number of years now.

There are even worse looking pictures of the poor man online.

Grandma Fletcher

R16

[quote]Damn, but he has a good full head of hair, [R38].

Are you serious? Jimmy Page is severely balding. He had amazing hair and for many years, not anymore.

The only member of Zep who still has good hair is John Paul Jones.

Below, Page with The Yardbirds, he had so much hair, it looked like a wig. He had better hair than a woman. Same for Robert Plant. They both had naturally thick curly hair. I think lots of people had better hair years ago, there weren't so many chemicals added to our foods.

Evidence that chemicals in food cause baldness.....zero.

Evidence that people had more hair in the 60s....zero

Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie Norton on "The Honeymooners" in the 1950s, is still alive at 97. She'll turn 98 next month. She first played Trixie in 1952, replacing Elaine Stritch, who introduced the character but was fired after one episode.

Dick Cavett

Bert I. Gordon

I'm really shocked that Kenneth Anger is still with us.

Georgia Holt, Cher's mom

Harry Belafonte

Leontyne Price

Katherine Jackson

I believe you meant Grand Mal Feltcher. He's a hot mess.

Bandleader Ray Anthony. He's 100

Madonna.

Woody Allen.

Gene Hackman.

Cotton Davidson

R13- You're outta your mind. If Helen Lawson was still alive she would literally be 110.

Norman Lear - he's now 100 years old!

R59- What's more impressive is being 76 years old( CHER) and your mother is still alive.

Engelbert Humperdinck

Johnny Mathis

The U.S. life expectancy was declining and the death rate increasing even years before the pandemic.

Media Ignores Life Expectancy DROPS From Drugs, Suicide, Obesity

Gorba-- oh. Nevermind

Sophia Loren

Former hottie Ed Fury

Openly gay former child star Terry Kilburn

A comprehensive list...

I had no idea Ed Fury was still with us!

DL fave Patricia Routledge is now 93 years old.

Joanne Woodward

Irene Papas

Jean-Luc Godard

Terry Moore

Julie Newmar, just turned 89

Ann Blyth

Longtime hottie actor Robert Fuller ([italic]Laramie, Wagon Train, Emergency![/italic]), b. 1933.

Fucking sex on a stick he was.

Abe Vigoda

R81, speaking of tv Westerns, Will Hutchins from Sugarfoot is still around, too

R82 - 2016 has some bad news for you.

97-year old June Lockhart.

Peter Marshall

Jerry Lee Lewis

Mitzi Gaynor

Carroll Baker

Barbara Walters

Gale Gordon

R91

Debra Paget

R93

Corey Feldman

Bill Cosby

If I'm not mistaken, if Ann Blythe survives Angela Lansbury then she will be the last living Oscar nominee from the 1940s.

Roman Polanski

Gloria Gibson

98-year old Eva Marie Saint.

Keith Richards.

I can't believe we have a "Gale Gordon is still alive" troll who shows up on every thread discussing old celebrities who aren't dead yet.

What an odd thing to specialize in.

R74 How have I missed out on all of them?

Inga Swenson, she turns 90 in December

Comedian John Byner. Totally forgot about him. Turned 94 in June.

Byner turned 84, not 94. Love him.

Ooops. You're right. He's 84.

Keith Richards

None of the other names in this thread surprised me, but I truly had no idea that John Byner is still alive.

Tony Bennett

Burt Bacharach

William Daniels & Bonnie Bartlett

This past summer I saw Gale Gordon in "Hello Dolly" with Fran Drescher. He was good and he looked great.

Was he still able to do cartwheels, R111?

That old bag o' bones Angelina Voight.

Actress Carole Cook, a good friend of Lucille Ball’s (she appeared in The Lucy Show and Here’s Lucy many times), is 98.

r114 If she dies looking like that, the undertaker won't have much to do.

Harrison Tyler. His grandfather, John Tyler, was president of the US from 1841-1845.

r116 Some Dataloungers remember voting for him.

Blacklisted actress Marsha Hunt died September 6th.

She was 104.

R102, the "Gale Gordon" posts are not visible to me. I have only blocked a few very offensive people - and not anyone recently- so that poster has to be a long-time, useless troll.

John Astin

Phyllis Coates, who played Lois Lane in the first season of "The Adventures of Superman" in the 1950s, is still around at 95.

Does Cher’s mom still have hair like Farrah?

Awwww, I simply adore June Lockhart, since I was a wee one.

She just has such a sweet face, like a tabby mama cat. I love her serene spirit.

[quote] the "Gale Gordon" posts are not visible to me. I have only blocked a few very offensive people - and not anyone recently- so that poster has to be a long-time, useless troll.

I'm not the 'Gale Gordon' is alive "troll," but how are these postings any different than the Jackie On Assistance posts? Or the Helen Lawson is not a fictional character posts?

Comedian Rich little

Irene Ryan

Margaret O'Brien

Here's Tommy Tune with Carol Channing. RASPBERRIES!

He looks freakishly tall (as always).

It's always fascinating to see how production people and costume designers on television variety shows in the late Sixties imagined hippies (in this case, somehow dancing to songs from "Mame"). I always think of people in Peoria watching this thinking, "I guess this is what young people in San Francisco are like now."

Gina Lollobrigida aged 95 especially after the stress of the courtcase with her son. Priscilla Pointer 98-played Pams mum in Dallas and has outlived Barbara Bel Geddes who played Bobbys mum by 17 years!

[quote]I'm not the 'Gale Gordon' is alive "troll," but how are these postings any different than the Jackie On Assistance posts? Or the Helen Lawson is not a fictional character posts?

Why is troll in quotation marks? The poster is deliberately spreading misinformation. That's the very definition of a troll. The Helen Lawson posts are obviously meant to be humorous.

Aaron Rodgers, his shtick is so old and tired...

R128 - I am amazed by the amount of duct tape on Carol. Not just hold her neck skin in place, but also keeping that fright wig on and keeping that penis tucked out of sight under that ultra-mini dress. Bravo!

[quote]Inga Swenson, she turns 90 in December

She and Don Murray (also still alive, as stated in a post on the thread) played a married couple in Advise And Consent (1961). I think he played one of the first sympathetic gay/bi characters in a mainstream Hollywood movie (as a US Senator).

R130 Well I can see how it would be very harmful for people to think Gale Gordon was still alive. This person must be stopped.

[quote]I think he played one of the first sympathetic gay/bi characters in a mainstream Hollywood movie (as a US Senator).

Pure fiction!

John Byner even has upcoming projects listed on the IMDb.

I always got him and Wayne Robson confused, to the point that this weekend, when I saw Byner in an 80s movie, I thought he had died and Robson was alive. It's the other way around, as Robson died in 2011.

Oh, puhleeze, R119/130. I guess one person’s humor is another person’s trolling. DL is routinely populated by these type threads & the ‘Gale Gordon is still alive‘ posts have been a recurring, humorous contribution to them for some time now. It's been a running joke, just like those about Helen Lawson & Jackie On Assistance. No one could reasonably believe they were intended to convey “misinformation.”

As one (of so many, I’m sure) who fell victim to these vicious purveyors of misinformation about Gale Gordon’s status, I am resigned to ponder who might be available now for a “Gale Gordon”-type role.

Gale Gordon is dead?? I've been the victim of misinformation, and I demand answers!

Cindy Williams

Salome Jens.

Tuesday Weld

Patty McCormack. 2

Debra Paget

Tony Bennett, Mel Brooks

Millie Perkins, Diane Baker, Richard Beymer - all of whom were in The Diary Of Anne Frank (1959).

[quote]Why is troll in quotation marks? The poster is deliberately spreading misinformation. That's the very definition of a troll.

That poster probably confused Gale Gordon with Gale Storm. An honest mistake.

It's Gale Storm who's still with us.

Hedy Lamar

R133 - And one of the hottest!

R147 I think he was confusing Gale Gordon with Nurse June Gale, from Rex Morgan, MD.

He most likely confused Gale Gordon with one-hit-wonder Gale Garnett...still with us at 80 yrs old.

Marla Gibbs

John Kander

Charles Strouse and Lee Adams are both still alive at 90+

Barbara Eden.

Richard Chamberlain. One of the super-eldergay actors from the '50s/'60s who's still with us. See: George Maharis, Earl Holliman.

Composer Ned Rorem, another eldergay

r156 Is Earl still closeted?

I am genuinely surprised that Liza is still with us. Robert Wagner too- I thought guilt might have damaged his health.

William Daniels is 95. Norman Lloyd lived to 106. St Eligius must have been a really good hospital.

[quote] Richard Chamberlain.

To the (still) unitiated, Dick Chamberlain, as he referred to himself, used to post on DL.

Mary Martin.

To the poster up thread, Mamie Eisenhower is dead,a nd has been since , November 1979.

[quote]Mary Martin.

I guess Mary Martin is the new Gale Gordon.

Tina Louise

Eve Plumb

[quote] To the poster up thread, Mamie Eisenhower is dead,a nd has been since , November 1979.

Has Ike been told?

Sandra Day O’Connor.

Eve Plumb is only 64 yet you’re surprised she’s still alive?

Edgar Buchanan

Justin Beiber......YES I know he isn't old but I am surprised he is still kicking.

Phyllis Coates - played Lois Lane before Noel Neill on the Superman TV series - 95

Max Baer Jr. from the Beverly Hillbillies - 84

Carole Cook, from The Incredible Mr Limpet - 98

Motown songwriter and producer William "Mickey" Stevenson

R167 She is post menstrual which means near death.

R78 Must be a real surprise as Godard passed away today.

R172, Thanks, she's my age.

Joan Plowright, Leslie Caron

Robert Clary (Hogan's Heroes)

Pat Boone

Mary Costa

Jane Goodall must be ancient now.

Connie Francis

Connie Stevens

Didi Conn

Sean Mendes

James Earl Jones (he's 90.)

^ He turned 91 in January.

Johnny Mathis

Brian and Eddie Holland

Take Irene Papas off THIS list.

She has joined another list.

Godard yesterday and Irene Papas today,

Someone has to warn Terry Moore. R78 is on a killing spree!

Mark Rydell

James Darren (86) Nancy Sinatra (82) Tommy Sands (85)

Nancy Sinatra is active on Twitter and is still a goddess.

[quote]James Darren (86) Nancy Sinatra (82) Tommy Sands (85)

Also Dion DiMucci, 83.

[quote] St Eligius must have been a really good hospital.

R159 - Fuck off, do I need to moon you too?

Generalissimo Francisco Franco. And me too, for that matter.

Bianca Jagger. At 77, she's not THAT old, but given all that coke and cock that slag took it's a miracle she's still standing

Barbara Rush(95)

Joy Behar - 80 in October.

R190, I could have sworn that Dion died years ago but maybe I'm confusing him with someone else

Barbara Rush lives next door to Justin Bieber.

Rush looks great for 90+

R133. Yes, so sympathetic that he cut his throat when threatened with exposure after running a dirty campaign, leaving that nice zings Swenson a widow.

Nice as Roy Cohn.

R197, Barbara recently sold that house, formerly owned by Hedda Hopper, and moved into assisted living. A friend of mine went to the tag sale she held and purchased some of her china.

[quote]R190, I could have sworn that Dion died years ago but maybe I'm confusing him with someone else.

R196, Maybe you're confusing him with Del Shannon, who committed suicide in 1990. Shannon had a big hit with "Runaway," and Dion had a hit with "Runaround Sue."

Barbara Rush’s daughter, Claudia Cowan, is a Fox News reporter.

[quote] Joy Behar - 80 in October.

What is that in human years?

Dionne Warwick

[quote]Joy Behar - 80 in October.

Has Joy shaved years off her age? Wasn't she 80 a few years ago. A friend knows Joy, I will have to find out Joy's actual age. My friend knows Joy as well as one of Joy's closest friends, a priest.

r95 - Behar's birthday is October 31. Here she is before makeup and wigs.

I looked up Joy Behar on the 1950 US Census, not hard with a name like Josephine Occhiuto. It was taken on April 1st of that year and she was listed as being 7 years of age.

This git.

Barbra

I'm pretty sure Babs will perform a human sacrifice before allowing an audience with death.

What keeps Barbara Walters alive?

I read an obit today for Mark Miller and was surprised that he was still alive at 97. He played the husband in two short-lived early '60s sitcoms, "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and "Guestward, Ho" (which was originally supposed to star DL icon Vivian Vance, but she backed out of it). He was the father of actress Penelope Ann Miller.

R212, He was also on "Days of our Lives".

[quote] He was also on "Days of our Lives".

Not anymore

What about me? You surprised I'm still amongst the living? I know I am!

(By the way, stop by my OnlyFans site.)

Mel Brooks

I'm actually surprised Liza is still alive.

[quote] I read an obit today for Mark Miller and was surprised that he was still alive at 97. He played the husband in two short-lived early '60s sitcoms, "Please Don't Eat the Daisies" and "Guestward, Ho"

Pat Crowley, who played the wife on "Please Don't Eat the Daisies," will be 89 tomorrow.

And Janis Paige, who was in the FILM version of "Please Don't Eat the Daisies," turns 100 today.

The dog from Please Don't Eat The Daisies is dead though

r220 I'm not a dog! I'm just Doris Day's pleasantly plump dance partner.

Well, I AM a dog! And I am dead.

Jonathan the Tortoise

While watching an old What's My Line on YouTube tonight, the mystery guest was The Amazing Kreskin. He is still alive at 87.

Hmm... I didn't run across any reference to a wife. Unmarried?

R224 I guess that would be a mighty good possibility.

George Chakiris, an Oscar winner for the original "West Side Story," turned 90 today. Fellow WSS Oscar winner Rita Moreno will be 91 in December and is still working. She looks good her age.

Competing with Chakiris and Moreno for the supporting Oscars that year were Montgomery Clift and Judy Garland, for Judgment at Nuremberg, and they both were dead before the end of the 60s.

Piper Laurie

Mitzi Gaynor is 91, Shirley Jones is 88, Fess Parker is 85, Lola Falana is 80, Marsha Mason is 80, Joe Namath is 79, Joey Heatherton is 78.

Richard Benjamin (84).

r229 Fess Parker died 12 years ago.

Barbara Feldon (89), Ruth Buzzi (86), Michael Learned (83), Elinor Donahue (85), Sheila Kuehl (81).

R231 Well he looks damned good.

Eva Marie Saint - 98

Henry Kissinger - 99

[quote]Elinor Donahue (85)

All three of the kids from "Father Knows Best" are still around. Billy Gray is 84 and Lauren Chapin is 77.

[quote] Fess Parker died 12 years ago.

But he looks marvelous.

Henry Da Silv-- oh shit.

Keep Up-To-Date

r237 His name was Henry Silva. Maybe you were confusing him with Howard Da Silva.

R239 - Well, Da!

Natalie Wood

That mouthy bitch Lana Wood.

Ronnie Wood. Rolling Stones alcoholic yet he's 75. Sometimes genes make you immune...

Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford, GTFO We were on a roll.

Emma Watson

Thought of another one. Gene Shalit is 96 years old and still among the living.

Speaking of Gene Shalit, Barbara Walters, who reportedly has Alzheimer's, will be 93 on September 25th.

Gene Shalit confused me when I was a kid. His appearance was so comical. I was always expecting something funny.

[quote]Ronnie Wood. Rolling Stones alcoholic yet he's 75. Sometimes genes make you immune...

Years ago, I saw Ron Wood in a downtown NYC indie record shop. He looked even worse in person, his face is sunken in and he's very thin. His skin looked grey! I was standing next to him while waiting to pay for my records. He was talking to the store's owner who was at the cash register. Until Ron turned around and smiled at the female friend I was with, I didn't realize it was him. I just thought it was some customer trying to look like a rockstar. He had on velvet pants and a leather jacket.

Around the same time I saw Ron, Keith Richards lived right around the corner from the Tower Records which was on W. 4th Street. I always see a ton of celebs downtown.

btw, it's true, we do photograph heavier, you can imagine how thin Ron was in person.

R250 Yeah, I've seen some people here say that people must be fat because they drink a lot but the truth is that quite a few hardcore alcoholics stop eating because it lessens the effect of alcohol. Hence how you get skinny alcoholics.

R117 we would have voted for John Tyler but he was too progressive.

R249 - As a kid I always confused Gene Shalit and Avery Schreiber. Didn't like either one.

Alain Delon. Thought he was long dead, but he turns 87 in November.

Robert Wagner - 92

Robert Blake turns 89 today.

Speaking of Alain Delon, his partner, actress Mirelle Darc, of WEEKEND fame, died at 79 in 2017. She still looked amazing well into her 70s. Unfortunately, and ironically (remember the long car crash scene in WEEKEND?), she needed open heart surgery due to being in a very serious car accident.

Heart problems plagued Mirielle for years, she went for further heart surgery in 2016, then suffered several hemorrhages. In the Summer of 2017, she went into a coma, then died.

Is Robert Blake still in prison?

Blake was acquitted of Bonnie Lee Bakley‘s murder. I don’t believe he ever served prison time.

Wow, I just googled this and you're right. I always thought he went to prison. He did go to jail for a year before the trial, but was acquitted. Even though we all know he really did do it...

Speaking of jailbirds... Bill Cosby. The man was over 80 well all that scandal and prison time occurred. I was sure the stress would have done him in.

Cher.

I remember her first comeback tour.

Hell, Cher’s mother is still living at 96!

Cleo Laine 95 in October

I'm guessing Irene Papas was mentioned in this thread although she just died last Wednesday at 93 years old.

Lindsay Lohan

Britney Spears

Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Bridget Fondue

Has anyone mentioned Gale Gordon? I'm surprised he's not dead.

R234 Eva Marie Saint was so young-looking in her movies her current age surprises me. She was @ 30 when she was in On The Waterfront. She played a girl who was going to the a Cathlic high school, I believe. And in Raintree County and North By Northwest she was already in her middle 30s.

*to a Catholic high school

[quote]Has anyone mentioned Gale Gordon? I'm surprised he's not dead.

And he's remarkably spry for a man who turned 116 this year.

M. Emmet Walsh

Gale Gordon is in a rest home. He still thinks "Mrs. Carmichael" is alive and yells at her regularly. The nurses humor him and wear red wigs and call him Mr. Mooney.

R272, I actually wish that were true.

Bill Hayes

Nehemiah Persoff died a few months ago, he was 102.

Norman Lloyd died at 106.

French actress Renée Simonot died at 109.

Fashion maven Iris Apfel is still alive, she's 101.

All of these performers are in their 90s: James Earl Jones, Tippi Hedren, Gene Hackman, Harry Belafonte and Mel Brooks.

Alan Greenspan - 96

Earl Holliman - 94

Miss Angie Dickinson - 90

Dr. Ruth, sex therapist. She's 94.

[quote] Earl Holliman - 94

And still a FAG!

Marion Ross is 93. Nancy Dussault is 86.

Nancy Dussault is too close for comfort

I was surprised to read that John Amos is only 82. I'd have placed him a good 5-10 years older, because I have a hard time imagining he was only 29/30 when he first appeared on the MTM Show, and early 30s in Good Times. That was a rough 30. He looked a good decade older.

Ahem.

David "GMA" Hartman is 87.

Old soap actors: Bill Hayes, 97; Rachel Ames, 92; Beverly Penberthy, 90; Eileen Fulton, 89; Elizabeth Hubbard, 88; Don Hastings, 88; Michael Fairman, 88; Nick Coster, 88; Lee Meriwether, 87; Patricia Bruder, 86; William Mooney, 86; Jerry Lacy, 86.

Joan Collins 89

r288 I imagine she will hold a massive party for her 90th birthday next year.

^^^Yes, probably naked.

She was on TCM last night looking pretty good.

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter

^ Jimmy’s 98th birthday is Oct. 1.

Hal Linden, 91, and Bernie Kopell, 89, are currently doing an off-Broadway play together.

What am I? Chopped liver?

The news says within the next decade 90 will be the new 40.

Agent 99, Barbara Feldon, is 89.

Barbara Bain just turned 91 last week.

Helen Gallagher is 96.

Michael Levin, also of Ryan's Hope, turns 90 in December.

Perhaps, R295. Steve Lawrence has had Alzheimer’s for a number of years now.

Nancy Olson is 94. Russ Tamblyn and Laurence Luckinbill are both 87. Margaret O'Brien is 85. Diane Baker and Diana Muldaur are both 84. I thought Baker was older. She always seemed so old.

R282 & 283, starting at 7:24, here's Nancy Dussault from 1962.

Film director Robert M. Young is 97 (will be 98 in November).

Ethel Skakel Kennedy - 94

[quote] Hal Linden, 91, and Bernie Kopell, 89, are currently doing an off-Broadway play together.

Is it a revival of "Beautiful Thing"?

Isn't Joan Kennedy pretty old, too?

Dick Button, U S champion ice skater, skating coach and ABC commentator is 93.

It's called "Two Jews, Talking," R305. Maybe it's a sequel to "A Coupla White Chicks Sitting Around Talking" from the mid-1980s.

r296 Then The news was written by someone scientifically illiterate.

[quote] It's called "Two Jews, Talking,"

Oy vey. It sounds riveting.

Rona Barrett

Marilyn Erskine - actress in radio, on Broadway, in movies and TV, 96.

Child actress, originally - as an adult was under contract to MGM, and later played Tom Ewell's wife on his sitcom, and appeared on a huge number of TV roles inclusing westerns and Perry Mason. She was slo interviewed for the doc, Tab Hunter Confidential (having done Our Town on stage with him at the Lobero Theater in Santa Barbara).

*including

Louise Flet-- aw, shit

Barbara Rush

How did Louise Fletcher die?

Louise Fletcher won her Oscar in one of the weakest years for Best Actress nominees.

One shut eye.

[quote] How did Louise Fletcher die?

Unequivocally.

R317 Why?

Glynis Johns will turn 99 on October 5th.

Ellen Burstyn will be 90 in December.

R322 She'll be joining me soon.

Estelle Parsons is 94. Marla Gibbs is 90.

R323, With Louise joining us, all we need for a "Brainstorm" reunion is Christopher Walken.

Well, as Christopher Walken is 79...

R323 - When I first heard Fletcher died, I thought, "Oh the mom from The Exorcist!" I always got Fletcher and Burstyn confused.

Jean Marsh is 88, Tom Troupe (actor husband of Carole Cook) is 94.

Sam Donaldson.

I have to admit I did think Sam Donaldson was dead.

Dick Cheney

Happy that Dick Cheney is still with us so he can observe that Trump is the “greatest individual threat” in history to the US.

R332 He must be glad there's finally a bigger one than himself.

Love ya, Kelly. Keep on doing what your doing. Ignore the haters. They're just really jealous loosers.

R332, They both make me look not so bad.

^ You're only saving grace, Trailgunner Joe, was that you never got beyond the US Senate.

I'm addicted to On Patrol Live just for these very car chases.

^ Oops, wrong thread.

[quote]Love ya, Kelly. Keep on doing what your doing. Ignore the haters. They're just really jealous loosers.

Oh, dear.

Joe Namath. He's 79, but that's like 110 for non-football players.

Priscilla Pointer

Speaking of sisters, the Lennon Sisters (from The Lawrence Welk Show) are all still alive.

Excuse me, but that's "the lovely Lennon Sisters."

Excuse me, but that's "the lovely LITTLE Lennon Sisters"

[quote]—The Really Big Shoe

Excuse me, but that was "The Ed Sullivan Show."

The weren't little any more when I used to watch them.

R341 Sin never dies.

That little cunt Janet Lennon was barely singing. She never carried her own weight. They were just trash.

[quote]That little cunt Janet Lennon was barely singing. She never carried her own weight.

And yet you could always count on her having a lingering close-up in every damned number they sang.

The Lennon Sisters' father was murdered on a golf course by some disturbed fan.

^ He was a fan of that lazy little cunt, Janet.

Lindsay Lohan.

Mischa Barton.

Nancy Olson, 94, has already been mentioned, but I’ll add that she has just published her memoir, excerpted here in Vanity Fair.

R351, Actually, it was Peggy he desired.

Burl Ives

^ Are Burl Ives & Gale Gordon living together?

Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter turned 98 on Saturday.

Civil rights icon (& later Jesse Helms aide) James Meredith.

R358 - Turned 98 what?

Flapjacks, Rose.

Gena Rowlands is 92

Johnny Mathis turned 87 on Friday.

Sir Monti Rock III.

Some Costa Ricans might be surprised to learn that a woman who was their First Lady in the early 1960s is still alive at 111.

^ She was born even before a contemporary US First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson, who'd "only" be turning 110 in December.

R353 I don't know if it was Nancy Olson (or the writer of the article), but Alfred Drake was not known for playing Jud in "Oklahoma!" -- he was the lead, Curly.

Nancy Olson also got wrong the fact that cast for the first preview performance had been dismissed at one point and had to be rounded up around New Haven (most were at the cinema) when Harrison was persuaded to go on. I'm surprised they didn't have a sitzprobe (rehearsal with orchestra) before the first public performance, since apparently it was singing for the first time with orchestra is what spooked Harrison then. Also not mention: Harrison being a real jerk, especially to Julie Andrews early on, and the whole saga of Andrews' acting being not good before Moss Hart dismissed the company for a weekend to spend a very long weekend drilling the role into her upstairs in the theater above the New Amsterdam Theater in NY. I did like you in "Sunset Blvd" and some Disney movies though, Nancy.

Interesting, R366! It reminds me of Clarissa Eden, Countess of Avon (née Churchill - niece of Winston), who died last year aged 101. She was married to Anthony Eden, British Prime Minister from 1955 to 1957. She outlived the spouses of five PMs who came after her husband (Macmillan, Douglas-Home, Wilson, Callaghan and Thatcher), representing all prime ministerial spouses from 1957 to 1990.

Still here!

So surprised!

Janet was there?

Doing what?

I mean, fuck, I invented the virginal simper, bitch, selling it to Daddy.

R365 I thought that was Kitty Carlisle.

Define "alive."

Loretta Ly-- aw shit

Peter Lupus from Mission Impossible is 90 years old.

He was the first universally known actor to grace us with full-frontal photographs in Playgirl in 1974.

Quite daring at the time...

Mamie Eisenhower died in 1979,

Do you people just throw out names without checking first if they are still alive?

June Lockhart is 97. Eva Marie Saint is 98

All starred on Broadway in at least one classic musical.

Mimi Hines is 89 ... can come into the role for Lea if needed

I know she is only in her very late 70s but it feels like she has been around forever.

[quote]Doc Severinsen is alive at 95!

And still doing promos on Antenna TV!

Who is the unfinished "Judt Ten--" supposed to be?

*Judy Ten--

Doc Severinsen is 95 years old.

In my teenage years in the 70s, I would fantasize about Doc. In my head, he had a mushroom cock, round balls and a large thick bush.

Lyndsay Lohan for the win.

Peter Lupus was 42 years old at the time of his full frontals. He said it was about time for a magazine like Playgirl, which was first issued a couple of months earlier. He wasn’t planning to go full-frontal. His wife was present at the photo shoot and she insisted on it.

George Maharis(94)

Berry Gordy still kickin' at 92 years old.

Diana Ross still kickin' in her nineties (according to Jeopardy! Contestants)

Elaine May, Jasper Johns, Frank Stella, Petula Clark

Brian Wilson, Terence Stamp, Iggy Pop, Neil Sedaka, Micky Dolenz

Ted Turner

With those with dementia/Alzheimer's like Ted Turner, Joanne Woodward, Sandra Day O'Connor & Steve Lawrence, we need a new thread for those celebrities alive in body alone.

I'm sure my man Gene Hackman has already been mentioned at the ripe old age of 92.

Brenda Lee

Pat Boone is 88, but looks older for someone who drank milk all his life.

The feel-good thread of the year!

Who are the other celebrities afflicted with dementia/Alzheimer’s? Is Jack Nicholson one?

Barbara Walters, reportedly, R414.

George Burns.

[quote]George Burns.

George has retired from performing now that he's126 years old.

Andy Warhol would be absolutely furious to know that Jasper Johns was still alive.

R414, Don't anyone dare!

Buzz Aldrin, William Friedkin, Marianne Faithfull

Tony Bennett, R414.

Pat Suzuki

Bobby Vinton, Bobby Vee, too, R414. I think Bobby Valentine’s fine, though.

Didn't Bobby Vee die?

^ You're right. He's know Bobby Vas.

^ now

Dick Cavett, Mavis Staples, Rod Laver

Peter Marshall is 96. Bob Barker is 98. Bob Eubanks is a relative youngster at 84.

Dick Button (93)

Yes. Diane. How Miss Ross is still occasionally vertical amazes me. She started relying on sofa pillows to keep her from rolling down when she turned 70, after all.

Berry Gordy? He's alive so long as his "instrument" works, and I hear it's still playing. You know Berry. Every time a new skirt walked in the room that thing of his would stretch out and head in her direction like a black snake spotting a mouse hole.

And add Anna Mae (Tina to you), that diabetic flatfoot Patti "Pies" LaBelle, dear Gladys Knight with her latest set of teeth (SO white), and what the hell is keeping my Aunt Cissy Houston breathing?

For that matter, other than cat-head biscuits-'n'-caviar between meals and polishing her trophies, what is keeping our cousin Leontyne Price still going? You DID know she's my cousin, too, didn't you? See? I know a lot of old stars ready to go nova and burn out.

It's fucking hard to be the young one. And that funeral luncheon fare ain't getting any better. Cater shit. I want to taste TEARS in that mac and cheese.

Alan Alda, Alan Arkin, Nick Nolte

Bob Barker has been in declining health for quite a while. He’s dealt with a partially blocked left carotid artery, a stroke, prostate surgery, mild bouts of skin cancer, numerous falls resulting in trips to the hospital and severe back pain. That’s just what’s been reported.

R433 - And he's starring in the reality show WEEKEND AT BARKER'S

R433, Bob's been a widower for over 40 years. His beloved Dorothy Jo died in 1981.

R5, cross Angela off the list

Marina Oswald

[quote] Who are the other celebrities afflicted with dementia/Alzheimer’s?

We need a separate thread for celebrities who are still living, but not really still with us (or with it).

Well when the very few remaining elderly icons depart, I think we'll start seeing "younger" famous people suddenly die in substantial numbers due to getting infected with Covid.

I'd bet many reading this, or younger relatives will be similarly impacted within the next few years, if not sooner. (Think Coolio, Ray Liotta, ètc.) I suspect Justin Bieber will be the proverbial canary in a coal mine.

I also believe this is why Chinese President has been shutting down entire cities after only minimal infections. He knows.

Christiane Kubrick, Stanley Kubrick's widow

Angela Lans-- fuck!

[quote] Bob's been a widower for over 40 years. His beloved Dorothy Jo died in 1981.

I didn't know Bob was in the same boat as Robert Wagner.

Robert Wagner remarried and has been married for the last 40 years.

[quote]Robert Wagner remarried and has been married for the last 40 years.'

I have a name.

Rosemary. Harris is dead.

[quote] Robert Wagner remarried and has been married for the last 40 years.

And I have slept with one eye open every night for the last 40 years.

We're down to two Our Gang castmembers still alive: one is Sidney "Woim" Kibrick (94), who was "Butch"s flunkie, the other is a certain acquitted probably wife-murderer (89).

John Kander of Kander and Ebb (95),

James Ivory of Merchant/Ivory (94) oldest person to win an Oscar with his Call Me By Your Name screenplay.

Someone should fix those two kooky crazy kids up!

Filmmaker Marcel Ophuls

TV newsmen, Bernard Kalb, at 100, & his brother Marvin, at 92.

Alexander Butterfield

R445 I don't get the joke.

Sir John Boorman ('Deliverance', et al) is still with us at 89.

R454 So is English film director Richard Lester (90).

Made a number of the swinging 60s films including A Hard Days Night.

Dame Shirley Bassey looks great at 85. This video of her singing is from 2022.

R456 - She's just history repeating.

[quote]Robert Wagner remarried and has been married for the last 40 years.

Bob is married to Jill St. John, who resembles his "Hart to Hart" co-star Stefanie Powers.

R458 - Unlike that Stefanie, who never did get a ring from Bill Holden, I am a natural redhead. None of that whore touch for me.

I just saw a very young Jill St. John (and an even younger Carol Lynley) in "Holiday for Lovers" with Clifton Webb and Jane Wyman. Jill's hair was chestnut brown there.

So was the young Jill St. John was paired romantically with middle-aged homosexualist Clifton Webb?

That would have been odd, since he was playing her father. The tease was the parents thought she was hot for Paul Henreid, but she was really after his son, played by Nico Minardos. (And Carol Lynley was with Gary Crosby.)

[quote]And Carol Lynley was with Gary Crosby.

Carol got the fuzzy end of the lollipop.

Terri Gibbs

Patti Pravo

Clifton Webb sometimes did very well playing a dad (as in Titanic, and Cheaper By The Dozen). I was less convinced in Holiday For Lovers, and two others: Dreamboat, and Elopement, in both of which Anne Francis played his daughter.

I love the Clifton Webb-Barbara Stanwyck "Titanic." It's not very accurate, and the sinking takes a back seat to the soap opera plot, but somehow the ending is still very moving. I also like "A Night to Remember," made in England five years later, but it was based on Walter Lord's then-recent book. It's documentary-like, much more accurate and isn't a soap opera. Cameron's movie tried to have it both ways.

One of the reasons the 1953 Titanic wasn't as accurate was because A Night To Remember had not been published yet (big best seller, btw). The writers of the earlier film went on what they had, they might not have had access to everything Lord did, or (since they were just making a studio movie) had a lot of time to do the in-depth research.

Clifton Webb is so camp in Titanic, despite playing an ostensibly straight dad

I didn't think he was camp, he was playing a snob as written.

He was a campy snob

Off-topic (since he isn't still alive), but I just saw Nico Minardos (mentioned just above) on an episode of "Flying Nun" and he had quite the big ass.

Phyllis Diller

R473 - I'm dead, you dingy! HA-HA-HA!

Glynis Johns who's 99

I don't think Glynis Johns has been mentioned yet.

I'm not surprised Bobby Sherman is alive, but he'll be 80 next year. That is the shock; I can clearly remember him singing, a heartthrob, on TV shows in the 70s. I'm the one who can't be that old!

Dan Rather would like everyone to know that he is still very much alive and well at 90.

Bobby Sherman was one of Sal Mineo's lovers.

Gladys Johns is in a 'home'. It won't be now now.

R480 - Good to hear, I'd hate to think of a 99 year old woman being homeless.

[quote]It won't be now now.

R480 = Whoopi Goldberg.

I just saw a commercial with William Devane hawking insurance benefits for seniors and I was pleasantly surprised to realize William Devane is still alive.

Tom Baker - 88. There will be a tsunami of Doctor Who nostalgia when he goes.

R483 - Just barely... just barely.

I saw Bob Eubanks doing a promo for the retro game show channel Buzzr. He's supposedly 84, but he looked more like 94.

Elvis

Marla Gibbs

David Crosby

Haha R489 You beat me to it. I came here to add Crosby's name.

R490 - I believe Denise and Mary are still available...

Dick Cavett. I had such a crush on him when I was a teenager in the 70s.

The Smothers Brothers are now over 83 years old. They were so young looking on their variety show way back when.

My parents wouldn't let me watch it. It was subversive and would put bad ideas in my head.

Maurice Tempelsman, Jackie O's parter.

Pearl (housekeeper) from Diff'rent Strokes.

Mitzi Gaynor, Lee Grant.

Gary Lockwood, 85 years old. I just watched him on a season 5 episode of Hotel. DL fave Chad Everett guest starred on the same episode and Terri from Three's Company played his wife.

Nancy Ames

I was surprised to see Clint Walker on my TV today - thought he was long gone!

Johnny Depp.

He is, R499. Dead since May ‘18.

Hal Linden 91 years

and

Chita RIvera 89 years

can mount a 50th anniverary bow to their 1974 Kiss Me Kate production at North Shore

(Bonnie Franklin and Gilbert Price won't be able to make it.......)

Alice Cooper, and frankly any rock star from the 60s and 70s.

R502 I used to like the shows at the North Shore, as a kid/teen. I liked Ogunquit more, but you could see some big stars in summer stock in those days and the shows were really fun, even on the smallish theater-in-the-round stage of North Shore. Never saw a bad show there.

[quote] I used to like the shows at the North Shore, as a kid/teen.

In the early '70s, I saw a production of 'Company" there starring George Maharis as Bobby. He wasn't terrible. Vivian Blaine played Joanne, She had done the role on Broadway toward the end of its original run.

“On August 3, 2015, Carter underwent an elective surgery to remove a small mass on his liver, and his prognosis for a full recovery was initially said to be excellent. On August 12, however, he announced he had been diagnosed with cancer that had metastasized, without specifying where the cancer had originated.[430] On August 20, Carter disclosed that melanoma had been found in his brain and liver, and that he had begun treatment with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab and was about to start radiation therapy. His healthcare was managed by Emory Healthcare of Atlanta. He has an extensive family history of cancer, including both of his parents and all three of his siblings.[431] On December 6, 2015, he issued a statement, announcing that his medical scans no longer showed any cancer.[432]“

He’s not exactly a celebrity but Jimmy Carter is still alive at 98, having survived metastatic cancer.

[quote]He’s not exactly a celebrity but Jimmy Carter is still alive at 98, having survived metastatic cancer.

A former U.S. president isn't a celebrity? Or do you define "celebrity" as someone young and hot?

Julie Andrews, 87.

Carol Burnett, 89!

Connie Francis

[quote]Gladys Johns

Oh, dear.

iggy pop

I don't know if a lot of people know that June Lockhart is a Tony winner. Outstanding Performance by a Newcomer (1948) - no longer a Tony category. The play was For Love Or Money.

"In this comedy, a young woman seeks shelter during a thunderstorm at the country home of middle aged actor, Preston Mitchell. She stays on as his secretary and the two eventually fall in love."

Cheryl Ladd

Connie Sellecca and Gil Gerard

Julies Andrews looks great for her age. Nothing surprising about her still being alive.

Designer Mary McFadden. Allegedly she is just 84, per Wikipedia.

[quote] For Love Or Money.

Can't it be both?

Can't we have one thread without hearing from the Meghan loons?

R517 She just can't move her face, she's so botoxed.

Jane Fonda is appraoching Bogdanoff Bros levels of face work. I know she said she was going to stop...it's too late but that's good I guess.

Why do people think this looks good?

R523 - Movie stars care about how they look in glam photos and on screen, not in person. They can look like Frankenstein up close and personal, but if they look young and healthy through a lens then that's all that matters.

Frances Sternhagen. She was playing old lady roles in the late 70s.

Frances Sternhagen is 92. She appears to have retired in 2014.

Anita Baker

I love Frances Sternhagen. She's a funny character actress. I didn't realize she was in her nineties, but it makes sense. She looked elderly twenty years ago when she played Charlotte's mother-in-law on Sex and the City.

Sternhagen is definitely a surprise. I was sure she'd passed. She reminds me of Jessica Tandy and Geraldine Fitzgerald, as the three of them were similar-type actresses.

Paul Pelosi

I saw Frances Sternhagen on Broadway in "On Golden Pond" in 1979 and she was an old lady back then! I would have assumed she was dead to me years ago.

Lee Grant turned 97 today!

^ Lee was an amazingly agile 91-year old.

Frances Sternhagen looked old when she was young.

I recall she was on some soap I watched when I came home from school. She's always looked much older than her actual age.

[quote]Lee Grant turned 97 today!

Let's heat up a lasagna for her!

R529 Geraldine Fitzgerald was a beauty, Tandy not so much and definitely not Sternhagen.

A couple of years ago, a girl about 12-13 years old approached my house to trick or treat. She was dressed in a crop top, a short skirt and go go boots. I asked her what her costume was.

She very proudly told me, “I’m a slut!”

I told her that her father must be proud of her.

^ Why are you so sure she had a father in her life?

R529 - Tandy must have been at least somewhat attractive since she was cast as the original Blanche DuBois.

R539 She was pretty, and attractive, not a great beauty.

Blanche was a high school English teacher.

Joanne Woodward. William Devane, Dick Van Dyke, Keith Richards, Tommy Lee, Artie Lange ( who I like). Lindsay Lohan.

Jo Anne Worley, Ruth Buzzi (85 and 86).

If you act quickly you may be in luck....... a room is opening up next to Gladys!

Have her sign that souvenier movie hardcover from Mary Poppins that you bought in the lobby at the snack bar!

Bud Cort

Tammy Grimes

Edward Villella

Mario Andretti

I’m surprised Tammy Grimes is still alive too. Because she died in 2016.

Johnny Gilbert is 94 years old and still doing the announcing on Jeopardy! two years after Alex Trebek's death. That's pretty remarkable.

John Gilbert died in 1936.

Dabney Coleman. He turns 91 in January.

R383, Prine is no longer with us

Murray Melvin, British actor in The Fixer, A Taste of Honey, Alfie, Smashing Time, Barry Lyndon, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, Start the Revolution Without Me, The Krays, and Let Him Have It. ❤

Pat Boone is 88.

Pat Robertson. He’s 92 but looks 192. Heaven doesn’t want him and the devil doesn’t want the competition.

Wow, I remember Murray Melvin from A Taste of Honey. Didn't know he was still around

Murray Melvin looks like King Charles.

97-year old songwriter Alan Bergman.

Claire Bloom turns 92 in February

90-year old Roosevelt Greer.

[quote]90-year old Roosevelt Greer.

You must be thinking of Roosevelt Greer Garson.

Rosey's last name is spelled Grier.

^ I knew that! I blame it - in part - on Google. To confirm my belief that he was still alive, I started typing is name, "Rosie (yeah, my first mistake, as it's "Rosey") Gr" & Google immediately spit out "Rosie Greer." That didn't look right, so I used his real first name here.

Peter Lupus is 90.

Donald Sutherland, Gene Hackman.

R567 - Is he the only who invented that ghastly disease?

Willie Mays

Barbara Luna

Was in the original 1939 production of Oklahoma.

Ooops...not Oklahoma. South Pacific 1949

I think the last surviving cast member from Oklahoma! was Marc Platt and he died at 101 in 2014.

R570, HBO debuts its Willie Mays documentary tonight.

Helen Lawson

R571, She was also married to hunky Doug McClure at his peak.

Bambi Linn, the original Dream Laurey in "Oklahoma!," is still alive at 96. She also originated the role of Louise in "Carousel." Her one film appearance is in the movie of "Oklahhoma!," again playing Dream Laurey.

[quote] She was also married to hunky Doug McClure at his peak.

Was Doug related to Troy McClure?

Tim Curry

David Selby

We'e really scraping the bottle of the barrel for some of these "celebrities". Good thing it's almost the end of the thread.

Caterina Valente. 91 yrs old.

Adrienne Barbeau

We're patiently waiting for Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden.

Diane Feinstein (89), Chuck Grassley (89).

Brandy Norwood

Debbie Gibson

Diane. Geez she should have retired 20 years ago. How out of touch must be such an elderly person to the concerns of the state with the world’s 5th largest economy or whatever it is.

Rather have Diane than Chuck ASSley

That insider trading she did during the pandemic sure was admirable, and she looks great!

93-year old superlawyer Gerry Spence.

Robin Byrd. She's only 65 but in her line of work that's like 100.

[quote]Robin Byrd. She's only 65 but in her line of work that's like 100.

Seriously? She looked 65 when I first saw "The Robin Byrd Show" in New York in the '80s.

Johnny Depp. Seriously.

That pic @ r50 is scary. Aging is natural and shouldn’t be upsetting, but OMG!!

[quote]That pic @ R50 is scary. Aging is natural and shouldn’t be upsetting, but OMG!!

I think the chances of me making it to my 90s are extremely slim, and I'm okay with that.

R595 - Oh I agree, she always looked like she was ridden hard and put away wet. But I'm not talking about her appearance, just that she's actually still alive. Most sex workers, especially those who spend their whole life doing it, don't hit social security age

I can't tell if the pic below is from 2022 or 1992.

Let's try that again...
