Modestly famous I guess, but the production team of Bernie Orenstein and Saul Turteltaub. They wrote a bunch of episodes of That Girl and later produced the last three seasons of Sanford and Son.
86 and 84 respectively.

Not "famous" but that article going around about the passing of one of the co-founders at Waffle House at 99, where the other co-founder, also 99, is still alive, blew my mind. I mean that's the kind thing where if you'd asked me I'd have figured they'd have passed away in like 1983.

I knew he was alive, but I've been really surprised that he's kept silent (as far as I know) on the last three elections at least. He must have been constantly sought out for opinions and quotes.
