Alan Young, who died this week at age 96.
Only thing more surprising would be to have found out the horse was still alive too.

Saw Terry Moore on a mid-50s What's My Line the other night on Buzzr, and not only is she still alive (at age 87), but according to imdb she's got three movies coming out this year!

When I was in Lisbon, I saw some ad for a João Gilberto concert, which surprised me, because I though he had died years ago... But I guess I was thinking of Tom Jobim.

I had him on a deadpool a few years ago, but I just checked and Jerry Maren is still alive. He was the middle munchkin of the lollipop guild in the wizard of oz. Aalso starred as an ape in planet of the apes and was rotoscoped into a hobbit for the bakshi lord of the rings.

John Ashcroft. He isn't even that old! But somehow he seems like a creature from another time.

Francesca de la tour. There was a history of Rising Damp on a few days back. I thought I'd heard she'd died years back but when it wasn't mentioned I looked her up and seems she's still with us.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 7 July 2016 07:05 (nine years ago)
Yeah, she still appears in movies every so oft.
― Mark G, Thursday, 7 July 2016 09:09 (nine years ago)
I saw her younger brother Andy do comedy in the '80s, supporting Rik Mayall. He was a better comic actor than stand-up, I think.
― Michael Jones, Thursday, 7 July 2016 10:43 (nine years ago)
Wonder what her politics are these days, used to in the Workers' Revolutionary Party.

Frank Ifield. Actually not that old, only 78.
― They could have been Stackridge. (Tom D.), Thursday, 7 July 2016 14:04 (nine years ago)
Wow, I had Frank Ifield down as my parents' generation at least, if not 5-10 years older. I'd have guessed 90.

That constant background humming you can hear is Ellison's perpetual self-promotion machine. I will NEVER die.

Nanette Fabray is 95. You could have a cast reunion of the 1939 film The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex and you'd have at least two invitees: Nanette Fabray and 100 year-old Olivia de Havilland

This just happened to me. Was reading a thing about Keeping Up Appearances and thinking it unusual they hadn't mentioned Patricia Routledge's recent death. Which apparently only happened in my mind. I am CONVINCED there was loads of stuff on the news about her and what a brilliant credible actress she was when I only knew her from KUA - am I thinking of someone else? Fairly sure I'm not confusing her with Cilla...
