Well, there's a few more alive if you go through the entire cast list. I get what you say about Wikipedia pages only but it makes all look a bit incomplete. 

I'm biased because of my James Stewart interest but:

 

Rear Window:

Rand Harper (1929), Kathryn Grant (1933)

He was great in Fun with Dick and Jane.

I hope his death brings out an airing for his version instead of the constant showing of that gawd awful rehash with jim Carey.

Sad, loved her a lot. Loved her in Arrested Development. Then she played the same role in Archer. Also a frequent guest actor. Sadly, when I saw her the last time (guesting on Big Bang Theory) she looked already pretty old. Yes, she was, but you knew, she wasn't aging well.

She has a perfect DDP profile picture that I am going to miss.

Died a day after George Segal who played her ex-husband in Just Shoot Me. 

I probably know her best from Grand Prix.

Mentioned a few weeks ago with the 1923 names.

 

The DDP write ups shall continue, I managed to get a few out during the week there with painkillers (allergy flare up - not anything for anyone else to worry about) but hoping things will be more normal by end of this week.
