    The fact that they are taking precautions before anything happens, is a good sign for her (further) longevity beyond 95.5, not bad.

    Thanks for creating her own thread. For my taste she is famous enough and would definitely be a nice new entry for the list. On the other hand, there are many other (maybe better?) actress-alternatives like Eva-Marie Saint (who won Academy Award) or Cicely Tyson, who was nominated for an Academy Award at least.
