Monica Lewis (05/09/1922) - pert and pretty disaster support queen: "Earthquake" (1974), Rollercoaster (1977), "Airport '77", "Concorde...Airport '79", and a singer, too!
Marjorie Lord
William Phipps (2/04/1922), one of "Five" (1951), hundreds of credits between 1947 to 2000!
Nehemiah Persoff (8/02/1919), just turned 95! "Yentl" (1983).
I just discovered that the venerable comedian/actor, Jack Carter, born in 1923, is not on your list. At 91, he is evidently still going strong and married to the same beautiful spouse, Roxanne Wander since October 1971.

Recently starting watching TCM and found your information very interesting. An actor I did not see listed is Clint Walker. Thank you for the information you have provided!
Richard Anderson (88) 08/08/1926
Descriptions for Polly Bergen and Harry Dean Stanton are spot-on!
Betsy Drake (90), Cary Grant's third wife, is still alive as of 09/11/14
Madeleine Sherwood [Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Sweet Bird of Youth] was born in 1922 and yet lives

Dena Dietrich (12/04/1928): "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!" - margarine commercial superstar.
Joseph Turkel. He is 87.
Jimmy Lydon, the most congenial actor who played Henry Aldrich; but he did a whole lot more in a long career. He's 91.
Nova Pilbeam, popular blonde actress, age 94.
William Schallert, character actor. Age 92.
Actress Rita Gam (04/02/1927), dark-haired, pale blue-eyed stunner (with great gams!) - "King of Kings" (1961), Klute (1971).
Dear Friends:
I just noticed that you've overlooked Clint Walker (05/30/27; I thought he was gone,too, but, at 87, he's yet with us. See his website, which he and his wife amend as necessary.

Tommy Cook (7-05-1930) - Missile To The Moon, The Thing With Two Heads
Dewey Martin (12/08/1923) turns 91 today. Attractive featured player in "The Thing from Another World" (1951), "Land of the Pharoahs" (1955), once married to singer Peggy Lee!
I didn't see Doris Roberts on the list. She's 89 and was born in 1925. She's definitely old enough for the list.
John. Doris Roberts IS on the list under "Too Confusing - Conflicting Reports: - Doris Roberts the sitcom star was born in either 1925 or 1930."
Oh.
Clint Walker is still alive.
How about adding ROBERT LOGGIA..? SO MANY noteworthy performances...
Born: Jan. 3, 1930
I am surprised Al Molinaro did not make this list. Al was born June 24, 1919 in Kenosha, WI and was best known for his roles as Agent 44 in Get Smart, Officer Murray Greshler in The Odd Couple and the lovable Al Delvecchio in one of my favorites, Happy Days.
I collect autographs for a hobby, and my favorite ones to collect are the classic stars over eighty. I have found there are over six hundred of them still alive, but I can find no addresses for any of them, although I haven't looked for all of them. I just looked for a few, because I gave up since I could not find any. Does anyone know of any website that might have their addresses on it? Since they are so elderly they probably don't sign anymore, but I thought it would be worth a try.
Honor Blackman of The Avengers & Goldfinger is to be 90 on August 22 (1925).
Karen - Honor Blackman is already mentioned on the list at number 47.
Time to update this list. I was able to spot several who have since passed on.
Cheers!

Mannix' Mike Connors, born August 15, 1925
Marge Champion 9/2/1919, dancer, choreographer, actress and model for Snow White. Partner with Gower Champion.
This month, it will be a year since beautiful Mona Freeman passed. She always wished she could play against type, but the public saw her as the perennial teenager. She was breathtakingly beautiful in "Mother Wore Tights".
Dean Stockwell is still here. He was one of the top child actors. He was featured, as an adult, in some very good films, like "Compulsion!" and "Married to the Mob". He received a Best Actor in a Supporting Role nomination. He deserved another for "Long Day's Journey into Night" (1962). He was also in a hit sci-fi series on tv. I think it was "Quantum Leap". Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
Loved those two!
Al, Dean Stockwell is ineligible for this list. He was born 3/05/1936. The birthday needs to early 1931 or before.
Doris is still my girlfriend, and has been since the early 50's, but fell in love, watching Pillow Talk, and her films that followed. Can't forger Vera Miles either !
Tippi Hedren is still a swell dish!
