Far too many pages here. But I would offer up Alan Bennett (cancer in 2005), one out of these five: Tony Curtis, Charlton Heston, Christopher Lee, Michael Caine and Roger Moore; Soap stars: Jean Alexander (Hilda Ogden)? Not that old at 79 but all those years with Stan Ogden must have worn her down. What about an astronaut? Chuck Yeager (flyer not astronaut) is still going. John Glenn might be an outside bet. I think Norman Wisdom could well survive Ken Dodd. Ronnie Corbet, however, could be a good canidate now that Ronnie Barker has gone.
