Also, I've found it's very easy to forget that Jean-Luc Godard is still alive, even in spite of his activity in the 00's.

Did you mean you were surprised he's still alive? I thought at first you were expressing incredulity that anyone could think he'd died. (sorry for being so slow)

With Schmidt and Worsthorne the situation is more it occasionally being brought to my attention that they're still going, and being vaguely surprised to be reminded of this, whereas with Murray Walker I was sure I remembered reading his obituary, but then I saw him on TV talking about his 90th birthday.

Now I'm trying to work out who it was that that died I was confusing with Murray Walker.
― One Trick Over-Painted Pony (soref), Monday, 11 November 2013 14:11 (ten years ago) link
Gene Wilder.
These days it's common for Hollywood actors to star in movies well into their 70s and 80s, so I kinda assumed the reason the reason Wilder hasn't appeared in movies for 20+ years is because he's dead... But it turns out he simply retired at the age normal people do.

Mikhail Kalashnikov (was in an alive-or-dead round in a pub quiz recently). He turned 94 yesterday.
I also have to periodically check whether Ariel Sharon is still hanging in there (he is).

I'm often mildly surprised that Muhammad Ali is alive. I guess when someone so mythical leaves the public eye one assumes they died a tragic early death.
