California Suite Cast

[The Daredevil 1,189]

California Suite (1978) was full of actors now around their 90th year, many of them already battling health issues. So who will be first out of these to go?

 

Jane Fonda (diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in September or earlier; admits she will not be around much longer)

Alan Alda (has had Parkinson’s since 2015)

Michael Caine (has had mobility issues in recent years and is seemingly frail)

Maggie Smith (diagnosed with Graves’ disease in 1988 and breast cancer in 2007)

Elaine May (no known current health issues, but the oldest cast member here, only one north of 90)

Bill Cosby (reported as blind in 2016)

 

 

My thoughts:

 

Cosby in 2025

Smith in 2025

Alda in 2025

Caine in 2026

May in 2026

Fonda in 2027

 

In other words I guess Cosby will go first; Fonda last.

Alan Alda is very active with his Podcast (about science), he should last a long time.

 

(note how long Michael J. Fox is lasting)

Elaine May has been reclusive recently. I'm wondering about her health.

Jane Fonda. She'll be on a number of DDP teams next year for good reason after all.

And she will be placed on the 2024 DL. You can count on it. I can see her particularly at position no. 48.

 

Caine will very likely be on there too.

My bets. From what I picked in "Predict The Biggest Death Of Each Year of the next decade" safe to say none of them will go the year I've chosen. 

 

1. Jane Fonda (2023)

2. Michael Caine (2024, just before his 91st)

3. Maggie Smith (start of 2025, just weeks after her 90th)

4. Alan Alda (2025, he's ill, but could last a while. Look at for example Ilia II.)

5. Elaine May (2026) 

6. Bill Cosby (2027)

I'm still guessing Elaine May even after looking at the pictures Daredevil posted. I'm pretty sure she's the oldest person here and it's gonna be a surprise death like Carl Reiner. Also I'm considering the fact that she still hasn't appeared in anything recently and hasn't been in any interviews. It's a long guess but I'm still guessing Elaine May. Below is the most recent picture of her (at the left).

I reckon it will be a good fight for the last survivor out of May and Fonda.

It's just a gut feeling, but a couple of years ago I saw a photo of Barbara Sinatra using a walking frame, and soon after I read her obituary. So I guess It will be Michael Caine.

Great movie, btw. I remember watching it with my parents.

Most of these photos are six years old or more.

Smith was first to go; next will probably be Cosby.
