    As requested by @drol...

    Here are the living subjects of Carl Van Vechten (1880–1964), photographed between 1932 and 1964:
     

    Adele Addison (wiki, b. 1925) American lyric soprano
    Don Bachardy (wiki, b. 1934) American portrait artist, partner of Christopher Isherwood
    Harry Belafonte (wiki, b. 1927) American singer-songwriter
    Joyce Bryant (wiki, b. 1927) American singer and actress
    Frederick Buechner (wiki, b. 1926) American novelist and poet
    Roy Eaton (wiki, b. 1930) American painter
    Richard T. Gibson (b. 1931) American journalist and activist. No Wiki page, interviewed several years ago, appears to live in the UK now.
    Reri Grist (wiki, b. 1932) American coloratura soprano
    Afrika Hayes (b. 1933) American soprano and music educator, daughter of tenor and composer Roland Hayes. No Wiki page.
    Leo Holder (b. 1958) American graphic artist, son of Carmen de Lavallade (below) and Geoffrey Holder. No Wiki page, still active though.
    John Terry Hornblow (b. 1931) American son of producer Arthur Hornblow Jr. No Wiki page, living according to the U.S. residency records.
    Marilyn Horne (wiki, b. 1934) American mezzo-soprano opera singer
    Raymond Jackson (b. 1933) American concert pianist. No Wiki page, personal website here.
    Margie Lou King Barab (b. 1932) American singer and actress. No Wiki page, living according to the U.S. residency records.
    George Lamming (wiki, b. 1927) Barbadian novelist, essayist and poet
    Philip Langner (b. 1926) American producer, son of Lawrence Langner. No Wiki page, wife's obit from a few years ago says he's alive.
    Carmen de Lavallade (wiki, b. 1931) American dancer and choreographer, widow of the great Geoffrey Holder.
    Robert Morse (wiki, b. 1931) American actor and singer
    Peter Perenyi (b. 1940) American son of Eleanor Perenyi. No Wiki page because not notable in his own right, gave an interview last year.
    Leontyne Price (wiki, b. 1927) American soprano
    George Shirley (wiki, b. 1934) American operatic tenor
     

    I went through his entire collection here to get this info. There may be one or two more living subjects, but some are just too obscure to track down a fate for.

    When I get time, I'll also look at the earlier portraits of Allan Warren, which consist of mainly British subjects – royalty, aristocracy, actors and writers etc.

    Soprano Margaret Tynes, who was portrayed by van Vechten, dead at 104.

    Gangster Mukhtar Ansari in serious condition after heart attack. Was hospitalised yesterday and seemed the usual scam.

     

    Islamic preacher, politician and convicted terrorist Abdul Nazer Mahdani on life support.

     

    Both of them serving jail sentences, so take your risks.

    Abdul Nazer Mahdani discharged.

     

    EDIT: Jayapataka was dying after midnight but they rescued him by draining two litres of fluids from his lungs.

    Shi Ping was supposedly born 01/11/1912. Even if true, he isn't older. Alvaro Jose de Souza almost certainly is, Josias de Oliviera could be but I'm not sure if there's really any documentation for him.

    There's controversy on that. According to most sources he was born on 01/11/11, but Shanghai census always gave 01/11/12 as a date. I don't doubt about his age.
