Steve Lawrence has outlived a fair amount of his Blues Brothers costars (he played their booking agent in both films).

I knew Brian Murphy was still alive but his wife (Linda Regan, probably most famous for HiDeHi) has just posted a photo of him which makes you think he's been gone for a while but his body hasn't realised yet.

Prolific TV actor since the 1950s Peter Mark Richman (formerly Mark Richman), 93. He's such a journeyman it's hard to say what his most famous role is, perhaps as Blake Carrington's lawyer on Dynasty.
Just caught Nehemiah Persoff in a 1968 episode of Hawaii Five-O and he looked well into middle age then!

I see that Asner was recently mentioned on his birthday but it really should be remarked: every time I see him in something from the '70s (most recently, the 1977 Christmas TV movie The Gathering) he seemed moderately old, like at least late middle age, 40+ years ago. And then I almost immediately wind up seeing him in something current (most recently, Cobra Kai) and thinking, wow Asner got himself some good genes.

Would watch a Time Tunnel revive where the original cast takes a time tunnel back to 1966.
Also I need an original cast Police Woman revive.

Went down a Burt Bacharach rabbit hole each of the past two years where I came across this, maybe I posted on another thread:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBLMbJnN69c

Weird thing is that Burt met Angie through his parents, but maybe you knew that.
I didn't!
One great thing about Police Woman is whenever on the show Angie goes into a cocktail lounge there's a musician in the background playing a Bacharach tune

Prompted by a Bill James piece this morning, Luis Aparicio. 86, not all that old, but for me he does belong to a world before the world before this one (broke in the year Jackie Robinson retired).

I know he was just in "Knives Out," but I rewatched "Blood Simple" last night and even back in 1984 M. Emmet Walsh did not seem long for this world. Currently 85.
