For some reason I thought Regis Philben had died, but he just put in his last Letterman appearance, so I stand corrected.

Oh, here in a few years, you'll be saying the same about Sandy Duncan.

I actually did a quick check a few minutes ago to see if Sandy Duncan was still alive.

The reverse of this - thinking at the weekend "Marlon Brando is still alive, I think? Or did I hear that he died last year" - no, he died in 2004.

I don't know why, because he's not really that old or anything, but I was convinced that Gary Waldhorn was dead

Also not that old, but for some reason I thought that I remembered hearing that Marsha Warfield died quite a few years ago.

Jeez, that dude is 96 now! I think if I made it to 96, I'd just have the doctors put me in a medical coma so I could be assured I'd make it to 100.

Maybe he seems older because we associate Happy Days with the 50s.

Wow. So in the Happy Days universe, Al was still alive in 1996.
Poor Arnold Morita died in 1985. Maybe he got to see that Karate Kid movie right before he went.
