Mr. Sly Stone in fact did not die sometime in the early 80s.
It's yet to be seen if he dies in his early 80s.

Stanley's biography was great, might actually read it again. Very gossipy in places and outs at least one other actor.

ymmv for 'famous' but British character actor Arnold Yarrow - most famous to me as Bellal in Death To The Daleks, the Pertwee-era Doctor Who story - is 104 today. He's the oldest living Who-related actor.

Also apparently in Eastenders for a while but he died in 1989.
