Patrick Duffy, former Labour MP is 102. Never heard of the fucker tbh but a notable detail about him is that he was the only MP to verbally attack Thatcher over the death of Bobby Sands while getting booed by all sides of the house, including by his Labour Right colleagues.

I thought Marion Ross was a lot closer to Henry Winkler's age for whatever reason.

His name came up here three years ago, but it's worth mentioning that the actor William Daniels, who played Dustin Hoffman's dad in The Graduate and is known for his strangely old world transatlantic accent, is still kicking at the age of 95.

For some reason Nicholas van Hoogstraten popped into my mind. He's an infamous British landlord who styled himself as a cartoonish imitation of Peter Rachman (he legally changed his name to Nicholas Adolf von Hessen for no reason other than to have "Adolf" in his name). He emigrated to Zimbabwe several years ago and is apparently still alive. 77 isn't all that old, but he seems to have been around forever on account of the fact he became infamous at an early age.
He presents himself as a sinister crime boss with establishment connections, but as with e.g. Kenneth Noye he didn't seem particularly good at it, although he presumably lives a decent life in Zimbabwe.

Uri Geller. Although I assume shoddily built weapons and poorly trained troops will be the true risk to Russia.

I learn from the internet that Chubby Checker married Catharina Lodders - Miss World 1962 - in 1964, and they've remained together ever since. Awww:https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/american-singer-chubby-checker-pictured-with-his-fiancee-model-and-picture-id543479227?s=612x612
Part of me thinks "that's so sweet" and another part of me thinks "why should they be happy".
