Still With Us

[Mark C Bale]

And the feuding Hollywood sisters......

Joan Fontaine.......95
vs
Olivia de Havilland..........97

Bet which ever one goes first, the other won't be at the funeral.

[Clive]

Leonard Fenton is also still with us, currently aged 87
Murray Melvin who turned 81 in August

Research throws up some wonderful distractions, don't it?

Somehow being in your 80's doesn't seem like an advanced age anymore....

[David Boothroyd]

William G. Stewart, very much still with us and only 78.

I was amused to see that One of Hancock's rep company, Totti Truman Taylor is listed on Wiki under the catagory of "possibly living people"...

[Brock]

As mentioned on the radio board, Denis Norden at 91. Great to hear him again.

[Brock]

The Great Egg Race was mentioned elsewhere, so I think Heinz Wolff deserves a mention at 85.

[didi-5]

A couple of actors retired but still with us at 88, Bernard Hepton and Alec McCowen.

[Jezza]

How old is Barry Cryer now?

Tonight's (16 December 2013) edition P.M. on BBC Radio 4 will include a feature on the feud between the two ladies, for those interested in such things. I am, and will be listening...

All in The Persuaders - "Five Miles to Midnight":

Harry Fielder 74
Ian Thompson 75
Jean Marsh 80
Joan Collins 81
Roger Moore 87
Robert Rietty 91

Slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I was watching The Goodies' Kitten Kong this evening and it occurred to me that all of the animals featured in the episode would have passed away decades ago.

Until the scene where Graeme is taking Colin the tortoise for a walk. Due to a tortoise's long life-span, it is quite feasible that Colin the tortoise is still alive.

[SgtPepper]

Iris Russell (Jean Skinner in Timeslip) turned 91 last week.

My only contribution to this thread is now no longer "still with us" having passed away earlier this year.

[Westengland]

Audrey Noble is a hundred years old today.

Except for the Bat...I have a sneaking suspicion, it wasn't real.!

Forgive the (birthday) bump, but a very happy centenary, Ms de H!

"...Harry Fielder 74"

Has anyone heard from 'Aitch' recently?

David Hedison - most famously from Voyage to the bottom of the sea aged 89

and a favourite of mine - the underrated George A Cooper ( Billy Liar, Z-Cars, The Avengers, The Saint etc ) aged 91

It's a little scary to think that the likes of Des O'Connor and Michael Parkinson belong in this thread.

It's alarming when you realise that everyone you remember from when you were growing-up is either dead or over 70!
I was relieved the other day when I heard that Peter 'Herman' Noone is neither of the above.

He sang the hits just the same when we saw him recently in the 'Solid Silver 60's Show'.

Aled Jones is only 45.

[Ian Wegg]

and a favourite of mine - the underrated George A Cooper ( Billy Liar, Z-Cars, The Avengers, The Saint etc ) aged 91

Well known also as the Grange Hill caretaker. He used to be a familiar site around my town but I haven't seen him for a few years now.

[ghughesarch]

Roy Dotrice, now 93, has been in two episodes of Game of Thrones broadcast in 2012

[SgtPepper]

Roger Moore has been mentioned a couple of times during the radio commentary from Wimbledon. 88 years old (gasp). Sir John Hurt has also been in the crowd, but I guess these days 76 isn't seen as old.

Private F, I am thinking of going to that show just to see him, does Peter sing many songs?

It's very unnerving and really makes one think of one's own mortality.

He was on last and, with the earlier performing Dave Berry a close second, was the star of the show. Sang for about 30mins including 'I'm into something good', 'Somethings happening', 'Mrs. Brown, you've got a lovely daughter' (which I didn't know but liked) and 'Silhouettes'. I was sure he would finish with 'A kind of hush' - but we had to slip out to catch the last bus home!
