What actors / actresses from the original "Star Wars" have passed away besides Alec Guinness? I could look this up on www.imdb.com but that wouldn't be any fun. Marc Hamill was looking old last time I saw him on TV.

Being respectful, does anyone know if there is any way to know how many World War I veterans are still living? I haven't found a website which addresses this. Most vets from the "Big War" would be around 100 at this time. The last one around my area passed away like 8 years ago at age 97.

Watching the classic "Psycho" from 1960 (50th anniversary of it this year). Just wondering how many of the lead actors are still living. Here is what I came up with: Vera Miles - played Lila Crane (Marion's sister) still living age 79 John Gavin - played Sam Loomis (Marion's boyfriend) still living age 78 (I think). Once these two are gone, that will be the end of 'em.

Last commercial I saw with Adam West (Batman from TV series....see my avatar), he was looking kinda slow or something like that. Any updates on him lately?

Who is here hanging around?

Comedian Sid Caesar, 84, is looking kind of rough. Any of you heard of him? He was in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!" Movie to be on Turner Classic Movies Saturday at 8pm eastern US.

I thought Clive was already dead....whoops, sorry that was Benny Hill!

Tuco - a deathlist favorite...still cheating death whether on the gallows or standing on a gravestone, or even hanging out with Marilyn Monroe and Gable! What a man!

Liddy probably won't die until he is well into his 100's!

Well at least Andy is honest....I guess!

Thanks to all of you who contributed to this thread. Hopefully it has been interesting and educational in some ways too!

Charlie is certainly making the most of his 15 minutes of fame.

In order for Frank Buckles to lie in state in the nation's capitol it must be approved in Congress. This sucks out loud!!!!! Obama should step up and order this to be done, not only for the sake of Mr. Buckles but also in respect for the other Americans who gave their lives - or time - in service during the Great War! There will be no other WWI veterans left to honor in this way.

R.I.P Mr. Buckles.........

Buckles is one tough dude. http://www.takepart.com/news/2010/11/10/10...teran-in-the-us

Keith is gonna live to 100...no doubts....get him OFF the list for a long, long time.

Smoking seaweed, dipping snuff, and an occasional shot of whiskey will get you past 100, easy.

So this leaves: Florence Green, Claude Choules, and Frank Buckles as the last 3 living. Right???

Babcock beat 'em to the punch!

Hey, that's my signature...I love that scene from the movie!

My favorite is: "You sons of bitches. Give my love to Mother." ~~ Francis "Two Gun" Crowley, d. 1931 Executed in electric chair.

"Please put out that light, James." - Theodore Roosevelt "Useless, useless" - John Wilkes Booth (Though some think he might have been saying the name of his girlfriend..."Lucy, Lucy")

If I were him (which of course I am not) I would just retire and enjoy the last months or years of my life on the beach or fishing or just goofing around. Not in that dreaded Capitol Building with the rest of the blowhards.

I am going with Eli Wallach, one of my fav actors, see quote below from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".....Classic!

LONDON -- Guinness World Records said that 113-year-old British World War I veteran Henry Allingham has become the world's oldest man. The previous holder of the title, Tomoji Tanabe, died in his sleep in southern Japan at the age of 113. Allingham is one of only two surviving World War I veterans in Britain and celebrated his 113th birthday June 6. He has been Britain's oldest man since January 2007. Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, said the last Englishman to hold the title of world's oldest man was Frederick Butterfield, who died in March 1974 at the age of 110. Allingham joined the Royal Naval Air Service - precursor to the Royal Air Force - in 1915, and a year later took part in the Battle of Jutland, the war's largest naval battle. During World War II he worked on measures to counter magnetic mines. Well...........CONGRATULATIONS HENRY! WELL DONE!
