When Joan Fontaine died, there was a lot of talk about O. de H., because they had been so bitterly separated for so many years. (And I'm morbidly curious to see what TCM does when the last major Gone With the Wind star finally dies.
In the meantime, I am pleasantly surprised that Diana Serra Cary (Baby Peggy), Luise Rainer, and Kenneth Anger are still with us. But in all of these cases, it's just a matter of time.

I received a letter from Bill Tidy when I was 10. My aunt sent him some of my cartoons (which were rubbish, even for a 10yo, but my aunt, bless her, obviously thought the man at the Liverpool Echo needed to see my marvellous renditions of football drama and sci-fi adventure). I think he said something about "action is so much more exciting to draw than static scenes" and gave me some bland encouragement. I think I chucked out that letter and my cartoons sometime in the early '90s.

I was at a quiz the other night, we were asked a question about a singer who died last year to which the answer was Bobby Vee. Subsequently got in discussion about Bobby Vinton & Bobby Vee, friend insisted both were dead. Finally decided to look it up tonight to clarify - I also sort of thought Bobby Vinton had died years ago and assumed Blue Velvet's revival was some sort of tribute, but turns out it was in an advert for Nivea.
Anyway, aye, he's 81. And not dead.

June Lockhart (b. 1925), best known as a TV mom on Lassie and a mom-scientist on Lost In Space.
I saw her last night in a small but memorable part in Meet Me In St. Louis (as an east-coast romantic rival who turns out to be good-hearted) and it was driving me crazy who she looked like, until I realized it was Heather Graham on Arrested Development; Graham, of course, appeared in the godawful film version of Lost in Space as the daughter to Mimi Rogers's version of Lockhart's old character. (Lockhart is also in the film, in a cameo as a holographic space principal.)

No doubt, it's not an error or failing of anyone not to know*. I just think it's notable that this 92-year-old who hasn't been commercially successful since his '30s has spent the last five years being as productive as most alternative cartoonists were in the 1990s. Especially as many of the thread subjects have been retired for decades before their appearances herein.
*Albeit it's odder to have a specific, active opinion that someone so notable in the field you're considering did die a long time ago, vs not having thought about them at all.

you can't help having the phiz you are born with, but there is an aristo-haughtiness to that ugly bassa that I always found deeply irritating. Looking at his wiki it seems his family's involvement with horse racing goes back to the 18th century, probably bred like horses in the same stables! I once ripped the piss out of a work colleague who did a tribute painting to Piggott in their workplace, it was a badly drawn montage and was entitled The King of Epsom or something like that!

James Hong, Chinese-American actor. I know him from various appearances on the original Hawaii Five-O, but he was also in Chinatown, Airplane!, and a zillion other things. He was a Chinese restaurant waiter in a 1975 episode of All in the Family as well as the maître d' in the Seinfeld episode "The Chinese Restaurant." Daniel Dae Kim claims he has more credits than any other actor, living or dead.

― difficult listening hour, Monday, 20 August 2018 04:45 (six years ago)
hope that daniel dae kim claim is true because it certainly feels right. will never forget seeing a direct-to-tv apocalyptic-space-artifact movie in the early 2000s (think maybe something was inexorably drilling towards the earth's core?) and feeling a sudden powerful premonition when someone shouted "call the chinese ambassador!"-- CUT TO the chinese ambassador staring grimly out a rainy window, and yup, sure enough
― difficult listening hour, Monday, 20 August 2018 04:54 (six years ago)
Hah, he played an Ambassador 4 times in 2000-2002 - Epoch (which I think is the one you're thinking of), Wesley-Snipes-with-a-gun The Art of War, and two episodes of The West Wing. Also Dallas, in 1981.

Huh, I had to look that up - he was the producer of Death Race 2050, and he has an executive producer credit on the 2018 Death Race: Beyond Anarchy. Last directed a film in 1990 (not that I'm suggesting you were suggesting that he directed Death Race 2050 - I think I misinterpreted the 'did' in your sentence.)
― Ward Fowler, Tuesday, 28 August 2018 17:50 (six years ago)
yes, I didn't mean to suggest that -- but he initiated the film, licensed the rights back from Universal who are still making remake-sequels regularly (that's the exec producer credit for 2018), actively produced it etc. one assumes (possibly unfairly) a lot of the Sharktopus / Pirahnaconda stuff he produces for cable is more plug-and-play into a spreadsheet template of budgets and shooting days.
(he didn't direct the original Death Race 2000 either)

Death Race 2050 is the only post-70s Corman anything I've seen. (It's good! Or good at what it's intending to be. I saw it projected from DVD in the back room of a pub, which was a suitable audience and setting.)

If we're partnering up, Fred Stolle (two Slams w/Rosewall '68-'69) and Roy Emerson (three Slams w/Laver '61-'71) are still knocking around too. Rosewall/Laver were US Open finalists in '73. Almost all of the Aussie greats from that period are still going. Lew Hoad (who died in 1994) is maybe the only one missing?

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 (five years ago)
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".

I noticed he was still working as of last year when I checked him IMDB page. He looked very familiar to me when I watched The Sopranos the first time, five years ago, but when I look at his credits, I can't see anything that would explain that. He was part of some famous TV series, but I didn't watch any of them. Possibly Synecdoche, New York, which he did after The Sopranos but before I caught up with it, but doubtful--I don't remember anything about that film.

this doesn't even belong on this thread but i don't know where to put it. there was a guy i went to law school with and he lived near me. we would sometimes talk at the bus stop, he was really nice. after he graduated he took a rock climbing trip somewhere and he ended up falling from a boulder and he died from the head injury. he was a bon iver fan (i mean this was 2009) and the facebook page about his death had something about a bon iver song. since i don't have any reason to ever think of him but like once a year i run across a reference to bon iver, the idea of him dying has been replaced in my brain with "the guy from bon iver died." then i have to say to myself, "no, not him." i will persist in doing this until he dies for real or i die.

I see that Asner was recently mentioned on his birthday but it really should be remarked: every time I see him in something from the '70s (most recently, the 1977 Christmas TV movie The Gathering) he seemed moderately old, like at least late middle age, 40+ years ago. And then I almost immediately wind up seeing him in something current (most recently, Cobra Kai) and thinking, wow Asner got himself some good genes.

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.

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 (three years ago)
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)

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"

Gail Halvorsen, who flew US Air Force cargo planes in the 1948 Berlin Airlift, and was much loved in the city for dropping a total of 23 tons of candy to West Berlin children using improvised handkerchief parachutes. Still going strong at the age of 100.
It was gratifying to have many American friends join our celebration of German Armed Forces Day. It was a particular treat to hear from Col. Gail Halvorsen, Berlin's 'Candy Bomber'. During the Airlift, he lifted spirits - it only felt right to send him a care package of our own. pic.twitter.com/1ZC0SB79SI— German Embassy (@GermanyinUSA) June 22, 2021

I like that this thread is distinct from “ppl you thought were dead but aren’t”, it’s more of a thing where you passively assume someone died cause you haven’t heard about them in a long time vs actively believing them to have died. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit I often think actors are dead if they died in things, the most silly one being I always think Richard Jenkins is dead cause he played the dead dad in 6 feet under

There could also be a "People who should be dead but aren't" thread for personalities that we've only just learned about.
For ex, there's a guy named Bob Richards who turns 96 today who won medals in pole vaulting in the 1948, 1952, and 1956 Olympics. He was the first ever athlete depicted on the front of a box of Wheaties. Also he ran for US President in 1984 representing the far right "Populist Party."

I remember being surprised to find out that James Burke was still alive. There's a popular video on YouTube from an episode of Connections where he delivers a piece to camera about rocketry, and just as he finishes a rocket takes off in the background - the timing had to be perfect. I have the impression that he's more famous in the United States than the UK. Connections was one of those TV programmes that wasn't repeated very often, or at least I don't remember seeing it ever in the 1980s. Was it ever repeated?
He was big during a brief window at the end of the 1970s (The Human League mentioned him in "Black Hit of Space") but in the UK he fell off the radar shortly after that. And yet The Day the Universe Changed was broadcast by BBC1 in 1985 so perhaps I'm completely wrong.
Stanley Baxter and Fred Harris are still with us. As are Bernard Cribbins and Jim Dale.
Irene Papas is still around as well. She recorded an album with Vangelis and appeared on Aphrodite's Child's 666, which is why I thought of her. One of only two of the main stars from The Guns of Navarone to still be alive (along with James Darren).

All three Connections series (along with The Day The Universe Changed) were in heavy rotation on Discovery Science/The Science Channel around 1999-2001 or so. All of them are pretty easy to find on the dark.net now.

A bunch of '70s movie icons are getting up there. Jack Nicholson is 85, Dustin Hoffman is 84, Robert Redford is 85, Woody Allen is 86, Warren Beatty is 85, Roman Polanski is 88, Donald Sutherland is 86, Shirley MacLaine is 88, Tippy Hedron is 92.

Did you also have a "Carl Sagan orange hiking jacket of wonderousness"? Apparently it was a Sierra Designs 60/40 parka. You learn something every day. Check out Robert De Niro dressed as a 2000s indie musician, but in 1978: https://www.outinunder.com/content/story-sierra-designs-6040-mountain-parka

Also, and I apologise for the double post, it's surprising that Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, and Warren Beatty are the same age. I always assumed Nicholson was of the same generation as Gene Hackman, e.g. about ten years older than the other big stars of the 1970s. He was in black and white Roger Corman films.
I suppose it's because he always played world-weary characters. I still haven't seen The Last Detail. Does it have a lot of bad language by modern standards? That's what it was infamous for at the time.
For the record Jack Nicklaus is 82, but it's not surprising that he's still alive because he was a top athlete.

So maybe is surprising that she has lived so long.

On the subject of 1970s non-fiction bestsellers I was surprised to learn that Stewart Brand is still alive. He edited the Whole Earth Catalogue and later went on to found The WELL. He strikes me as one of those pre-internet cyber-futurists who were almost entirely pushed aside when the actual internet happened, because "the street finds it own use for things". Along similar lines Ted Nelson is also still alive. He devised Project XANADU, which was going to be the World Wide Web except that the World Wide Web happened instead. They're both in their eighties.
I've always mentally pictured The WELL as the stereotypical "generation starship where the inhabitants have forgotten their mission and turned into rival tribes", although I'm speaking out of my bottom because I've never been a member. I assume it was a clique of people who wrote for Mondo 2000 and nowadays send angry letters to the New York Times etc. The kind of people who have positions of power on ICANN and secretly run the internet. But I could be wrong.

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.

As far as I know all the original members of The Sonics - formed in 1960 - are still around, and until fairly recently they still toured. They're not all that famous but there was a flurry of interest back in the early 2000s because "Have Love Will Travel" was in an TV advert for VW. They were also on Nuggets.
I wrote an Amazon review in 2007! Yes I did. Do people still write Amazon reviews? They're all robo-generated now. What happened to that woman who reviewed every book, and it turned out she was just reselling them without even opening them? Hannie something. Harriet. Whatever.
Apparently I went to the trouble of sampling the start of "Psycho" to see how tightly the band came in. The song goes clattery drums -> "whoah..." -> "...BABY!" and the band come in on the first syllable of "...BABY!" because they were drilled like a military band. My review ended with "there is no Mellotron anywhere on the album". It got three upvotes. 2007. Not that long ago. Only fifteen years. That's nothing, really. I remember I was in a funk at the time but that Here Come the Sonics snapped me out of it because it's a really good album. Fifteen years. Imagine if I'd put £1,000 into shares in Apple every year since 2007. Fifteen years. Can't go back.

The Wikipedia article on the Sonics doesn't mention if any of them have died, which doesn't mean they haven't because they're not exactly notable individuals.
― Halfway there but for you, Saturday, 3 September 2022 16:53 (two years ago)
There are people with Wikipedia open in the background purely so they can dive into the article and add a death date, so I imagine if anybody in The Sonics died it would appear in the article immediately. Right now I imagine several dozen Wikipedia editors have Clint Eastwood as a perma-background-tab so that they can beat everybody else.
I often wonder how you can win the "update the death of a celebrity on Wikipedia" game. Presumably you'd have to live in Los Angeles and have a police or ambulance scanner, plus an intimate familiarity with the addresses of major stars. Obviously a lightning edit would be reverted because it wouldn't have a source, but you'd still beat everybody else. If the rules require that you make the edit stick, you'd presumably have to be the first journalist with a verified Twitter account.

It's not really on-topic, but I was surprised to find out that David Whittaker - the unrelated 8-bit chiptune composer - is 65! In fact he's a year younger than Rob Hubbard. It's odd to think of the man who made the buzzy multi-channel music for all those old Codemasters "simulator" games being of pensionable age, but there you are. In comparison Tim Follin was born in 1970.
That led me to this Reddit thread, which makes me feel old: https://www.reddit.com/r/chiptunes/comments/xg2n5/what_are_some_great_chiptune_artists/
Why does it make me feel old? I have no idea who those people are. Who is Godinpants? Who is Saskrotch? Who is Shitbird? When I was young I could get by in middle-class society by knowing a little bit about Stereolab and having some friends who were clued in to Warp / Rephlex. Now it's futile. I'll never catch up.

On a tangent Mamie Van Doren - I was thinking of MST3K - is still around. She's 91.
Eddie Cochran was in The Girl Can't Help It and Untamed Youth, so he must have met both Mamie Van Doren and Jayne Mansfield. Thus packing a lot into a short life.

I actually meant my comment as a compliment, having enjoyed watching him a kid, but your post made me think that I'd better look him up and find out what horrible things he did that I didn't know about.
In a 1975 interview publicizing Take Kerr, Kerr renounced the show The Galloping Gourmet, saying that "What I did wasn't art, it was a crime," given the increasing rate of obesity in the United States. He also apologized for two of his trademarks on that show, his wine drinking and his double entendres. He stated that he was trying to convince TV stations to remove reruns of the show from syndication.
Relatively speaking, I guess not too bad.

Eric Bogle, writer of "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" and "No Man's Land" / "The Green Fields of France" / "Willie McBride"
In 2009, Bogle told an audience in Weymouth that he had read about a girl who had been presented with a copy of the song by then prime minister Tony Blair, who called it "his favourite anti-war poem". According to Bogle, the framed copy of the poem credited him, but stated that he had been killed in World War I.

Her date of birth is October 31, but the year is disputed, with all years ranging from 1925 to 1931 having been given as her year of birth at some point; however, census data, travel manifests, and testimony suggest that she was born in 1925 or 1926, while Grant's stated ages at the time of her professional debut and Oscar nomination indicate she was born in 1927.

In a different vein, Jeanette Charles - "The" Queen "impersonator" is 95 (Retired in 2014)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeannette_Charles
Charles appeared as an actress in repertory theatre in her twenties, but had difficulty obtaining Equity membership. Her resemblance to Queen Elizabeth II made it difficult to obtain roles, and she eventually left acting to become a secretary.In 1972, a painting she commissioned of herself in her forties (as a present for her husband) was displayed by the artist at the Royal Academy in London, where it was taken to be a portrait of the Queen. On the assumption the painting was of the Queen, it was disqualified as portraits had to be painted from life. When it was revealed that it was not the Queen, Charles (as the actual subject of the painting) received a great deal of press attention, and started receiving offers to portray the Queen in print advertisements.[2] Charles accepted the offers she felt were appropriate (turning down, for instance, offers to portray the queen in lingerie or, in one case, as a centrefold), and insisted that it be made clear in any advertisement that the Queen was being played by an impersonator.After studying the Queen's voice, as well as her appearance, Charles also made in-character personal appearances at trade shows and corporate events, and soon broadened into film. Charles has played the role of Queen Elizabeth II in many films including Secrets of a Superstud (1976), Queen Kong (1976), The Rutles' movie All You Need Is Cash (1978), National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985), The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002).

Long, pointless story, but please trust that it is relevant to the thread: My son has a series of questions he asks about people: first, whether the person is dead. Then it becomes a flowchart.
If the person is alive, he asks how old they are, and whether they live nearby. Sometimes he asks whether they are in Washington D.C. If they don't live nearby, he asks how far away it is.
If the person is dead, he asks when they died. And then whether I am sad about it.
So this morning he was playing with the car radio and found "Take on Me."
Sam: Dad. Who mote dis HAAA? (Who wrote this song?)
Me: A-Ha. The singer is Morten Harket.
Sam: He dead?
Me: No.
Sam: How old is he?
Me: Uh, I guess he's about 65? (I really have no idea.)
Sam: In Wah DC?
Me: No, I guess he's probably in Norway. (I really have no idea.)
Sam: Is far?
Me: No, it's thousands of miles.
Next song: "I Will Survive."
Sam: Who is dat?
Me: Gloria Gaynor.
Me: No, she's still alive.
What I am not saying: BECAUSE DUH, SHE IS LITERALLY TELLING YOU IN THE SONG THAT SHE WILL SURVIVE
THREAD RELEVANCE ALERT: Gloria Gaynor is 79 and turns 80 in September. I looked it up.
EPILOGUE
For some perverse reason the next song to come on the radio is "Eye of the Tiger" by... wait for it... Survivor. I am sensing a theme. Same questions but we will skip them for now. Because the next song we heard was by Michael Jackson.
Me: Yes.
Sam: When he dead?
Me: Uh, about 15 years ago? (Guessing)
Sam: Is Dad sad of him?
Me: Uh, it's complicated.

Seriously, fuck this fucking guy. He started out seemingly wanting to leverage his position for some big payday, but 50+ years on, his still clinging to it seemingly out of pure spite...unless he thinks the big Moby Grape payday is juuuust around the corner, and he can enjoy his late 90s as a multimillionaire.

A favorite bit of Katz dickery is when Sony UK actually managed finagle a twofer reissue of the first two It's A Beautiful Day lps, but he denied them use of the artwork, so they had to go out with a generic black cover with the credits and explanation of what happened.

I know exactly what you mean, though. Mad Men travels from Steve Lawrence/Jack Jones (Vic Damone, technically: "On the Street Where You Live" to end the first episode) to Hendrix/Bowie/etc. And Don and Roger never really climb out of the Steve Lawrence/Jack Jones moment.

A creaky old English movie from 1952 called "Ghost Ship" is on the TV at the moment, silent because I'm listening to some music. Anyway, cast list includes...
Joss Ackland as Ron, 2nd Fisherman
Yes, we haven't mentioned him in a while so let's hear it for Joss Ackland, 95. Also I've just noticed this interesting detail from his wiki page:
Ackland was born in North Kensington, London on 29 February 1928, the son of Major Sydney Norman Ackland (died 1981), an Irish journalist who had been sent to England to live with an aunt by his parents for seducing their maid, but subsequently seduced his aunt's maid...

I was looking at my copy of Bomber by Len Deighton just the other day. It has a new introduction (2009) by Deighton where he states: "Bomber was the first fiction book written using what is now called a 'word processor'. In 1969 that name did not exist." I have no idea how true that is, or how you could verify such a claim, but I'm happy to go along with it!

Yes. And then Charles K. Feldman said she was too old and he wanted to cast his own girlfriend, Capucine, instead, and then eventually got fed up with his protégé Beatty and kicked him off the project as well.(X post!)
― Shifty Henry’s Swing Club (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 27 November 2023 19:17 (one year ago)
According to Caron, he did indeed say “What’s new, pussycat?” on the phone, at least to the womenfolk.
― Shifty Henry’s Swing Club (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 27 November 2023 19:18 (one year ago)

I thought Woodvine had died after he collapsed on stage a decade ago, pleased to see he's still with us. He's the same age as Colin Jeavins, who retired 30 years ago.

Stanley is also my personal Mandela Effect, mainly because (as he admits in his hugely entertaining biography) he wasn't going to come out until after his death, and his biography weirdly ends with his 'death' - people gather for his last moments and he fades away. But then an epilogue that says he didn't actually die after all is is frail but fine.
So weird that he outlived Victor Lewis-Smith, who did so much to promote Stanley's life, achievements and place in British comedy.

Masanori Murakami, turns 80 in a couple of weeks--first Japanese MLB player, pitched for the Giants in '64 and '65. And pitched really well: 90 innings, 65 hits, 100 strikeouts, 23 walks. He was 21 years old. I was mystified, so checked his Wikipedia page; the Japanese commissioner, Yushi Uchimura--Bowie Kuhn's brother, evidently--forced him to return to Japan after the '65 season.

Having belatedly learned of the death of Bruno Latour and Jean-Luc Nancy, I checked up on big names in French Philosophy and many I figured were gone are still here - most surprisingly Luce Irigiray at 93 and Helene Cixous at 86 (I thought both had died decades ago)
Also the painter Alex Katz (who I knew was old and living, but wasn’t sure he was ~still~ living) is in fact alive at 96

That got me to thinking about Nicholas Hoogstraten, the cartoonishly evil landlord who moved to Zimbabwe. He is apparently still alive, at the age of 79, despite being a near-contemporary of Peter Rachman. It seems he began early. I always mentally associate him with scandals from the 1980s - Polly Peck, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, the Guinness share-dealing fraud - all of which existed when I was young, which was a long time ago.

He was in charge of Ethiopia in the 1980s. He was only 40 when he took power. He's older than Colonel Gadaffi would have been if he was still alive, but he was smart enough to run away to Zimbabwe when he still could.

Hey, JF...(xpost) I haven't read Rockwell's Stranded essay in ages, but I think, at least viewed from the vantage point of today, it took some nerve to write about Linda Rondstadt while surrounded on all sides by Captain Beefheart and the Ronettes and the New York Dolls and other rock-critic favourites. Does he argue that it's the best album ever, or just that it's the one he theoretically wants to have with him on a desert island?
― clemenza, Monday, 2 September 2024 03:53 (eight months ago)
He doesn't really take either tack, he's basically trying to call attention to her work in general. Here's the essay itself:

It's kind of a forerunner to Carl Wilson's Céline Dion book, though approaching from the fan side rather than the skeptic. It doesn't make me like Ronstadt any better, but it explains why Rockwell does.

All this talk of Sophia Loren and Shirley MacLaine both being 90 made me wonder if they had ever been photographed together, and they have, including this image from the 1959 Academy Awards:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FO3fED7WQAAqnjI.jpg
With Jacques Tati and Dean Martin. MacLaine was nominated for best actress for Some Came Running, Loren and Martin presented the "Best Original Song" category, and Tati was there for basically doing all of Mon Oncle. Apparently that film was criticised for Poujadism, it says here. The zany world of the Fourth French Republic!
I have only the vaguest idea of who Rene Coty is or was, but I remember seeing OSS 117 many years ago and laughing at "Monsieur Rene Coty". Because it's an inherently funny name! It sounds tiny.
Yeah and also Shirley MacLaine should totally sue all of those "manic pixie dream girls" from 2000s mumblecore films because she did it first, and also backwards and in high heels.

Just watched (for about the hundredth time) the Star Trek episode "Who Mourns For Adonais?" William Shatner might be 93 but he's not actually the oldest surviving member of the cast, neither is Michael Forest, who played Apollo, who is 95. The oldest is Bill Blackburn, who appears uncredited in 61 episodes of the original series and is one month and three days older than Michael Forest (they'll both be 96 this year).

Elroy Face turned 97 the other day...Sort of famous, if you count his 18-1 season in relief as the highest winning percentage ever. (Some Negro League pitchers are ahead of him, and Max Fried is too, for going 7-0 in the strike season--that's silly.) Also the oldest living Expo.

Bought a Faye Adams ("Shake a Hand," 1953) compilation at a record show today; her Wikipedia page indicates she may or may not still be alive at the age of 101.
According to music writer and rhythm and blues historian Marv Goldberg, he located a single source, albeit without a written obituary, stating that a "Fannie Jones" (Tuell's married name), died aged 93, on November 2, 2016, but this has not been confirmed as being the famous singer.

"anjelica huston(she's not even very old -- 73 -- but for some reason i thought she was no longer with us)"
I was surprised to find out that her first film was Ice Pirates, one of those mid-80s 3D-is-back films - like Spacehunter or Jaws 3D. Except that it wasn't in 3D! It feels as if it should have been.
She was a space barbarian swordswoman. The film looks like one of those 1960s Italian productions where they had a lot of fun making the sets, viz Barbarella or Fellini Satyricon, and yet it's a mid-80s American sci-fi film.
There is an alternative world where it was a huge hit and Anjelica Huston went on to be one of the most popular action stars of the 1980s.

xp to Ashley, actually Anjelica Huston was in the John Huston-directed A Walk with Love and Death back in 1969, a film I somehow saw in a cinema (much later). Can't remember anything about it except she rides a horse and it's in Europe.

I seem to recall that her performance in Prizzi's Honor was considered a revelation because the 1969 film was met with lots of proto-nepobaby criticism. Haven't heard anyone discuss Prizzi's Honor in years.

I was surprised to find out that her first film was Ice Pirates
Eh... she'd been in dozens of films before that (including This is... Spinal Tap).
She had a high profile as a model and her dad cast her in lots of things, for example she was ~almost~ the lead in Zeffirelli's Romeo & Juliet until her dad cast her as the lead in A Walk with Love and Death some 15 years before Ice Pirates.
― imperial frfr (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 23 April 2025 17:06 (two weeks ago)
One of the things I was shockingly old before I learned was that Anjelica Huston had actually been in several films before Ice Pirates, including This is Spinal Tap. In fact she made her screen debut 15 years earlier!
I learned this from the website Ilxor.
― Ashley Pomeroy, Wednesday, 23 April 2025 20:58 (two weeks ago)

― Nuts, whole hazelnuts (Tom D.), Wednesday, 23 April 2025 21:47 (two weeks ago)
I didn't realise it was Anjelica Huston. I mentally associate her with a bob hairstyle, but in Tap she looks very different.
NB Her character created the Stonehenge replicas, so she has a small-but-pivotal role.
