It would appear that Terence Stamp is in Denville Hall. 
 

Forgive me if this has been discussed before but around the 4:45 mark on this episode of the Rockonteurs podcast, Andrew Loog Oldham refers to “a new client moved in” to Denville Hall who has “moved Far From the Madding Crowd”. That podcast is from July 2023.

Are you sure it's Stamp?

 

This article appears to debunk that and that he is 'fit' and open to appearing in more films.

He said that though Stamp is now 85 years old, “Terence is the fittest man I’ve ever met in my life. He has never drunk and basically eats grass. It took him a long time to think about it until he got there, but eventually he said to me, ‘You know what? You’re right. We’re not finished yet. The story is untold

Maybe it's Michael Sheen.

Julie Christie?

 

Edit: Somebody might want to create a thread for her in any case.

Googling a little, one of the scriptwriters of the adaptations, Frederic Raphael, has a pretty stellar record and is still alive:

No, she was seen out and about and looking very well earlier this year. So it could be someone from either film version

... or it could just be Loog Oldham speaking bollocks.

I seem to recall reading an interview with Stamp where he said that he lives long-term in hotels. If it's him, maybe he's just at a point in life where he needs a permanent base?

Geoffrey Deuel, younger brother of the rather better remembered Pete Duel, Geoff having played Billy The Kid in Chisum, reportedly dead: 

TV appearances include The Mod Squad, The High Chaparral, Mission Impossible and The Streets Of San Francisco, among others.

[Spade_Cooley 9,679]

Was in hospice, was 50/50 on risking him in the DDP because I thought his role in Chisum might get him a Deadline and thus Yahoo QO. Don't need to make that decision anymore.

A much needed  'hit' in the Derby Dead Pool as its edges nearer to equalling 2023s tally.

Wow. Just dropped her from my 2025 Shadow List because I thought she looked too good in No Good Deed and was still working. Shocker.

[Gisooo 3,595]

I didn't expect her to die, she looked very good and was very active in cinema and television until now. RIP

Remember a few years ago when there was briefly some excitement on here that regarding Leon Lamar, who had been in Marvel, DC, and Hunger Games movies and was apparently 103? And then we found out he was 20 years younger and also a convicted nonce? Anyway, he died on December 10th according to his son's Facebook page.

My instinct felt that he was gone, and I was afraid he would die off the radar one day.

 

Thanks @YoungWillz and @Ulitzer95

Thank you everyone. Sad news, but at least it's confirmed now.

I just watched the movie The Witch (2015) and actress Bathsheba Garnett (IMDb) who played the title character is 99 years old and will be 100 in 2025.

 

Here is the photo of her from her last birthday in 2024, she doesn't live in USA anymore but in Jerusalem, Israel.

 

 

Maybe you'll remember her better in Mean Girls (2004), she played the German teacher.
