I thought the same thing when I saw her for the whole minute I watched the Oscar's last night. She looks better than most 60 year olds.

So basically you turned up just for Best Costume Design...

 

Zsa Zsa's leg is there something you wanna tell us? ^_^

Here's a list of survivors from 1994 spoof film The Silence of the Hams. The movie is so bad it is unwatchable, but it had one of the greatest casts ever:

 

*Ezio Greggio (1954). Italian entertainer, recently lost his father. Still active, had some legal troubles some years ago.

*Billy Zane (1966). Middle aged man with no health issues.

*Joanna Pacula (1957). Has not acted since 2010.

*Charlene Tilton (1958). Short woman (4' 11''), but nothing beside that.

*Stuart Pankin (1946). Fat and had heart problems.

*John Astin (1930) The mytical Gomez Addams. Not seen in public since 2013 more or less.

*Tony Cox (1958) Character actor known for his role in Me, Myself and Irene.

*Mel Brooks (1926) If he did not hang himself for being in this movie, this means he has a strong will to live.

*Larry Storch (1923) A legendary Jewish character actor, he did not take part to the celebrations for his 95th birthday this year.

*Rip Taylor (1935) The crazy American actor we all love.

*John Carpenter (1948) Greatest horror director ever, he made mistakes too. This is one.

*Eddie Deezem (1957) Stand-up comedian specialized in nerd-type roles.

 

Out of the list only Astin, Brooks, Storch and Taylor are old and (very) obitable. The rest of them seem safe for some other years. The main reason for writing this list was boredom.

Joe Dee Foster. Dr Hannibal "Cannibal" Pizza. "Maybe he just didn't like me fucking up his movie?" Shelley Winters bloody showing up.

 

I love that film. It's so stupid, full of bad acting (despite the cast!) and awful jokes, yet is far more enjoyable - probably due to all of that - than some of the more serious Hollywood pisstake films.

 

 

I wonder how much of the cast of Michele Lupo's Weekend Murders are still going? I know Percival is gone. It's like Agatha Christie as told by Dario Argento with shitloads of Tchaikovsky at wonderfully inappropriate moments and Italian piss taking of British culture. Once seen, never forgotten.

Poor poor poor Milos Foreman (86), the now deceased director who had two buffoons (one lazy, one misguided) post his obit in terribly inappropriate places.
So....for completeness, I will drop it here where the hell it belongs.

After Rance Howard's death I wondered how many Cool Hand Luke actors were still alive as Kennedy, Davalos, Stanton, James and Howard have all died in a year and a half. So here is the list, which is rather short:

 

*Joy Harmon (1940), played Lucille, the girl.

*Morgan Woodward (1925), Hollywood legend played Walking Boss Godfrey in an outstanding performance (he did not say a word during the film).

*Charles Tyner (1925), played Boss Higgins.

*Lou Antonio (1934), played Koko.

*Anthony Zerbe (1936), played Dog Boy.

*Joe Don Baker (1936), played Fixer.

 

It is interesting to see how many cast members have died since 2010:

 

Dennis Hopper (29 May 2010, aged 74)

Luke Askew (29 March 2012, aged 80)

Ralph Waite (13 February 2014, aged 85)

Wayne Rogers (31 December 2015, aged 82)

George Kennedy (28 February 2016, aged 91)

Richard Davalos (8 March 2016, aged 85)

Buck Kartalian (24 May 2016, aged 93)

Clifton James (15 April 2017, aged 96)

Harry Dean Stanton (15 September 2017, aged 91)

Rance Howard (25 November 2017, aged 89)

 

 

 

 

Tyner died last year, thought it's only just being reported.

Remember all the 'Simons' dying a couple years ago?  It's starting again!

Kirk Simon, a documentary filmmaker who turned luminaries in the arts into teachers and brought cameras into the classroom, memorably in an Academy Award-winning film about a multinational school in Israel, died on April 14 in Manhattan. He was 63.   Mr. Simon suffered cardiac arrest and was declared dead after he was taken to a hospital.

The thing where Sam Simon died right after some newsguy Simon in a car crash, I'm assuming? And even then, two Simons don't make a plethora.

And Lisa Simon from Sesame Street, and Bob Simon from 60 Minutes, all in 2 months time.
I wouldn't want to be Neil Simon with this new wave of Simons started.

I'm shoehorning this in here.

 

2016 will be the 40th anniversary of The Omen, so in honour of this event and the fact I haven't done a list for ages (I know, you've missed them too), I thought I'd list the survivors of the original film and the two sequels. Are the omens good for these possibilities? Who will survive? All info taken from IMDB/Wiki, usual disclaimers apply and any further information as usual appreciated.

 

The Omen

 

Richard Donner - Director (b. 1930)

David Seltzer - Writer (b. 1940)

Mace Neufeld - Executive Producer (b. 1928)

David Warner - Jennings (b. 1941)

Harvey Stephens - Damien Thorn (b. 1970)

John Stride - The Psychiatrist (b. 1936)

Holly Palance - Nanny (b. 1950)

Roy Boyd - Reporter (b. 1938)

Freda Dowie - Nun (b. 1928)

Dawn Perllman - Chambermaid (b.?)

Nancy Mannigham - Nurse (b.?)

Nicholas Campbell - Marine (b. 1952)

Burnell Tucker - Secret Service Man (b.?)

 

 

John Stride has died aged 81. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2018/04/24/john-stride-actor-obituary/
