Holy buckets! Norman Lloyd was in Hitchcock's Saboteur. That is definitely one of them movies were you'd reasonably expect everyone involved in it was now well and truly checked out. Well like, but not just yesterday!

Michael Fish, weather forecaster. I was surprised to find he was only 43 when he gave his famous forecast in 1987.
"Earlier on today, apparently, a woman rang the BBC and said she heard there was a hurricane on the way. Well, if you're watching, don't worry, there isn't!"
He looked close to retirement then.

Forgot Brian De Palma (80) was still around. I guess he's working on a couple of things, but I never even heard of his last one, sorta released in 2019, nor perhaps the one before that, in 2012.

No he wasn't, unless you're being pedantic about what constitutes a 'storm' vs. a 'hurricane'.

I got confused for a second and thought it was Josefa who didn’t know who Peter Marshall’s sister was, but then I blinked and read more carefully.

So when he handed over the private eye reins to Hislop, he was only in his mid-forties... I guess that was old in those days

It is not unlikely that Marina Porter, as she became in 1965, has visited the dentist in the five decades since the JFK assassination. She may have had further treatment, perhaps including fillings, and possibly extractions. She may even have had her teeth cleaned.Scandalously, records of any treatment since 1962 do not appear to have been placed in the public domain.

Julian Glover(86), probably best known for playing Donovan in The Last Crusade. Has an acting career stretching from fifties through to...today.
I also remembered he was in a mostly-lost sixties Dr Who episode, which led me down a bit of a rabbit hole of trying to find out how many original DW cast members are still alive.
From the first episode in 1963, William Russell (Ian) and Carole-Anne Ford (Susan) both still around, 96 and 80 respectively. Original director Waris Hussein is still around at 82, he must be one of the last survivors on the production side.

Reminds me, I noticed that actor, Morris Perry, who's been in everything on British TV - he was almost certainly in Doctor Who at some point or other - is still alive at 96.

Lois Smith, 90, who was in East of Eden in 1955 and played Jack Nicholson's sister in Five Easy Pieces. She's been working all along, was in Lady Bird a few years back.

She's great in Minority Report, as the sidelined inventor of the precognitive program.

Dang. There’s something about old movie producers that makes them slow to die. Sam Goldwyn lived to 94; Dino De Laurentiis to 91. Irwin Winkler is still alive at 90 and Roger Corman is 95.

I think I was dimly aware of this, but Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev is now a hale 90 year old, alive & well. That has to be a record for Soviet premiers.
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 8 June 2021 16:51 (two years ago) link
gorbachev was president and general secretary of the party but actually never technically premier (except looselt speaking of course)
premiers who reached 96 and 97 were molotov and malenkov respectively (the first wasn't president but he was general secretary of the party at one point, tho not a point when it meant boss in full charge) (the second was never president or general secretary of the party
molotov was also second longest-lived "old bolshevik" malenkov was not an old bolshevik bcz he joined the party too late (after 1916) the actual longest-lived old bolshevik was lazar kaganovich (also 97, tho he was kicked out of the party in 1961 after trying to overthrow kruschev)
― mark s, Tuesday, 8 June 2021 18:29 (two years ago) link
(as were molotov and malenkov come to think of it lol)
― mark s, Tuesday, 8 June 2021 18:44 (two years ago) link
I can't remember which book described Molotov aka "stone arse" on his '42 trip to Britain sleeping with a huge chunk of sausage and a revolver under his pillow, because he was para he was going to get done in or poisoned or if I'm just making it up. but this tickled me:
"People used to joke, mocking the Soviet gerontocracy, that then Soviet leader Konstantin Chernenko, who was 73 years old, saw the 94-year-old Molotov as his successor"
