Jeannie Carson’s death has been added to IMDB. Will she ever get an obituary?

I would replace Robert Wagner with Joan Plowright.

Mother of the woman who shot J.R. Ewing.

James Earl Jones really should have been on the list.

This makes sense, because public records say 1928.

There seems to be confusion over Ann Blyth’s age; IMDB says 1927, Wiki says 1928.

Is Vera Miles about to be 95 or 94? Wiki and IMDB say the former, public records say the latter…

Eva Marie Saint is now the oldest movie star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

1970s sitcom writer Bob Ellison has apparently died at 91, says fellow writer Ken Levine on his podcast. Ellison won two Emmys, including one for co-writing the last episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1977. He also wrote for that series’s spin-offs Rhoda and Phyllis. https://art19.com/shows/hollywood-and-levine/episodes/d03a4f7b-a027-4c14-9539-d1f9ddf99f13 https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0255162/

He must be very mentally sharp to still be alive despite being so physically frail. Roz looked better than he did when they were photographed in the car on his birthday.

We officially have our new Betty/Benedict.

Going by motion picture stars, it’s Janis Paige, followed by Eva Marie Saint. For television, June Lockhart and Dick Van Dyke are the oldest, following Norman Lear’s death.

Was the last living acting Oscar nominee of 1955 (first year of that decade with no survivors left). Outlived her twin Pier Angeli by 52 years.

From the early 50s, yes. From the latter half there’s Don Murray, Earl Holliman, Russ Tamblyn and Eastwood. Tamblyn, Ann Blyth, Leslie Caron, and Shirley MacLaine are probably the last MGM stars from the 50s, aka the Post-Mayer era.

I forgot about Lady Pamela Hicks, now 94 and the last surviving adult bridesmaid from her wedding. Princess Alexandra was 10 at the time.

Was she the late Queen’s last living friend from her youth? Lady Myra Butter died last year and Lady Rupert Nevill passed in January.

Who would have thought that Bess Truman’s record would still hold after 41 years. Lady Bird, Betty, Nancy, Barbara and Rosalyn all came close though. Laura’s now the oldest, Hillary the earliest-serving and last First Lady of the 20th century.

She’ll go first.

Her husband of 70 years died on New Years at 97. Not bad for a marriage that started in Joan Crawford’s living room.

Her death leaves only six remaining nominees from the AFI Greatest Female Stars list: Ann Blyth, Claire Bloom, Mitzi Gaynor, Rita Moreno, Sophia Loren and Margaret O’Brien. Loren was the only one who made the Top 25.

https://abc7.com/13864695/ Gives rare interview on her 100th! She looks and sounds pretty good. Incredibly, not only is there no Damehood but no star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Sophia is the last survivor from the AFI 50 Greatest Stars list complied in 1999. 25 men and women were selected from 250 nominees of both genders. The other living nominees are Ann Blyth, Claire Bloom, Mitzi Gaynor, Rita Moreno, Piper Laurie and Margaret O’Brian. At least one female nominee has died per year since the list was created, the most recent being Gina this past January.

sticking with The Widow Newman

Mrs. Paul Newman

Yikes! Her daughter hated him and fought him for years, but no one could have expected Francesca would predecease her mother.
