Was surprised that Tina Turner was still alive

Doc Severinsen, still doing gigs

Lee Majors just appeared as Ash's dad in Ash vs Evil Dead. haven't heard of him in ages so assumed he was dead. Is he doing other stuff still?

He was in the Dallas reboot a couple of years back and I too was surprised he wasn't dead.

Trini Lopez turned 80 yesterday

Frank Sinatra's first wife Nancy is still alive - the mother of Nancy "Boots" Jr., Frank Jr., and Tina. She married Frank in 1939.

Frank Oz

Not seriously, but more amazed Rita Tushingham just turned up on 'Vera'

Was surprised that Peter Wyngarde just passed since again I thought he was somebody who was long gone.

Kenzaburō Ōe, 83 today

Andre Previn
Denis Norden

Yehuda Lerner

the 17 yr old emblematic hero of the Sobibor uprising is still alive, and a year younger than Lanzmann, who immortalised him in the classic Sobibor: 14th October 1943 documentary.

I'm just re-watching it tonight, it is a gripping watch, yet again. Yehuda had escaped from 8 Nazi camps and one major Nazi killing facility, in which he'd played a key role in it's famous inmate uprising, and helped murder a mid-level SS commander - all by the age of 17. I'd get some beers in for him.

Ken Nordine.

Good call, 98!

... also his wife is still alive, she is a relative spring chicken at 97, they've been married since 1945.

... oh no, scratch that, she died in 2016, aged 94 ;_;

Wow, 71 years together isn't bad going.

Twenty-One contestants Herbert Stempel and Charles Van Doren

malcolm mooney

Tom Lehrer.

Sister Wendy Beckett

I thought Simon Callow died but that Mark Gatton thing was new this year wasn't it.

Lol you think he died cause you saw his funeral in that one film

Monica Kindle (Tom D.) at 6:19 6 Dec 18
Sister Wendy Beckett

people who just died that you thought had died ages ago

(xp) She lasted three weeks.

tbf she didn't look like one of the nuns I had to deal with - in which I mean the type that would strike a kid's head with a wooden blackboard duster and probably think most 16th century art is perverted!

Leslie Phillips, 94!

ding dong

Scott Walker. Well, he is dead now, but I was surprised to read the news today about his passing, because for some reason I thought he had died a couple of years ago. Mandela effect?
