I could have sworn James Hong died 1-2 years ago because we discussed his career on ILX but it turns out that's because he came up in this thread back in Aug. 2018

Watched ‘The Brasher Doubloon’, a film noir from 1947 and was surprised to find that Carol Janis who played one of the main characters is still alive at 92. Probably better known at all for being Mindy’s dad in ‘Mork and Mindy’.

He is not as old as you think for someone whose career was over 30-odd years ago.
― The Corbynite Maneuver (Tom D.), Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:46 (four years ago) link
The wikipedia entry is kind of fascinating
Yarwood career declined from the early 1980s. Most of his most famous subjects, such as Heath and Wilson, retired from public life or died and he was unable to master new prominent figures, most significantly, the country's first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher (she was played on his show by Janet Brown). As late as 1985 he was still sending up Heath, Wilson and Callaghan, years after all three had left frontbench politics. Also with the emergence of alternative comedy in the 80s which took a far more mordant and satirical attitude towards politicians (Yarwood saw himself as an all round family entertainer rather than a satirist), his career never recovered and the loss of some of his most loved characters and its fragility was directly linked to the politicians he impersonated. In addition, his battle with alcoholism and stage fright further affected his career, making him unreliable and affecting the quality of his output. It also contributed to the break-up of his marriage in 1985.[citation needed]In February 1986, Yarwood was banned from driving for two years and fined £200 after being found to be nearly three times over the drink drive limit.[4]His Thames TV show was cancelled at the end of 1987,[5] and he concentrated on stage work. However, subsequent attempts to resurrect his television career failed, although he did make an appearance on the satirical show Have I Got News for You in November 1995.[6]In the mid-1990s, Yarwood had the chance to return to the stage as prime minister John Major, but failed to re-establish himself before Major's premiership ended. He claimed that one of the difficulties in impersonating John Major and Tony Blair was that they were "nice guys".
