She’s not famous herself exactly, but Serge Gainsbourg’s twin sister Liliane Ginsburg is still alive at 91 as far as I can tell.
similarly in the not famous stakes: lucette destouches (mrs l-f céline) recently had her 107th birthday

(i mean i didn't really even know she existed till i saw a tweet earlier that you could win a nice supper with her in some joe-related thing)

she was played by Julie Walters in Prick up your Ears.

"Julie Walters as Elsie Orton"
or maybe I'm wrong, she played his other sister?
― calzino, Sunday, 11 August 2019 11:00 (six years ago)
it was Frances Barber that played Leonie.
― calzino, Sunday, 11 August 2019 11:03 (six years ago)
elsie is his mum, his other sister was called marilyn (i just looked this up)
i dimly remember a fond sister being part of the story: i probably remember the john lahr book better than the film, which i haven't seen since it came out
john lahr maybe belongs on this thread also, in that i'd assumed he was long-dead (fact fans: he's the son of the cowardly lion in the wizard of oz)
― mark s, Sunday, 11 August 2019 11:29 (six years ago)
I've half read the book a long time ago and seen the movie umpteen times. Barber is only 7 years younger than Walters is my excuse for the mixup

not esp interested in defending Sean Connery, but did he beat women, or just say it wasn't so bad (like Sam Kinison)?

Was checking out the different Little Women films on IMDB, and saw that Margaret O'Brien is not only still alive, but also still working!

She's not famous - well, she probably is in France - but Catherine Deneuve's mother, Renée Simonot, is still alive at 108!

Surely the oldest yet itt.

... just turned 108 on Tuesday, in fact.

... also she was the French dubbing voice for Olivia de Havilland, a mere slip of a girl at 103.

If I weren't such a fair-weather basketball fan I'd have known this, but I didn't realize Oscar Robertson was still alive (discovered while looking up the Kansas City Kings after buying my goddaughter's daughter a Kings hat). Actually just turned 80.
