Did another big engineer of his era die in the last few years?

Cosimo Matassa comes to mind.

Which reminds me, Dave Bartholomew is still around.

He hasn't made an appearance at the cinema in 25 years, in fairness.

Little game here where I'll say "I wonder if Buddy Hackett is still alive?"

Died 13 years ago. OK THEN.

Mel Brooks AND Carl Reiner.

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 29 September 2016 18:17 (nine years ago)

We're not far off from both of them being able to do an actual 100-year-old man bit.

Someone mentioned Chuck Berry's new album on ILM, and I was a bit surprised to find out him, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard are all still alive. For some reason I thought LR at least had died a while ago.

Tuomas, Thursday, 20 October 2016 10:55 (nine years ago)

Once I saw this thread was bumped, I knew it would be someone mentioning Chuck Berry. I had the exact same thought process as you

Vinnie, Thursday, 20 October 2016 11:26 (nine years ago)

I mean, this would be like Scott Joplin releasing a new album in 1956.

pplains, Thursday, 20 October 2016 13:11 (nine years ago)

Or Lady Gaga in 2076

Apparently Carroll Baker is contributing to the new Criterion edition of the '60s Something Wild. She's 85 now.

still alive at 90. which for a glaswegian man is positively methuselahesque

I think he sat behind me.

Just re-reminded that Fats Domino is still alive.

Wonder if in 25 years, there'll be posts like "Just discovered that Ritchie Blackmore is still alive."

Orson Bean

He was just on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast, on which I'm sure he managed to drop even more F-bombs than the host.

Orson Bean's ex-wife Carolyn (1960s & 70s) is apparently still alive also. Their daughter Susannah was married to Andrew Breitbart when he died in 2012.

Glen Michael.

He probably did, but it was written "sheeawa scheeawa scheeawa, scheeawa scheeawa".

Clarissa Eden, wife of Anthony Eden (British Prime Minister from 1955-1957) - and she's not even the oldest living Prime Minister's spouse, as Mary Wilson is more than four years older than her.
