(Yes, I know there was pilot filmed a year before, it doesn't count.) He also shagged Jane Fonda, so some DDPers might fancy a two for one deal next year.

His voice as Sarge was strangely absent in the recent Cars: On the Road series, this could be a warning sign but then he is 94. Michael Wallis’ voice as Sheriff was also unexplainably absent from this recent show. Younger seniors like Cheech Marin and Tony Shalhoub reprised their roles however.

justonecornetto 977 Posted September 17, 2022 The last time I saw Paul Dooley was in a 2020 short film called The Gesture And The Word which was James Michael Tyler's last acting role. TBH I didn't think that Dooley looked like a man in his his nineties I would have guessed mid eighties so I'd say he has a few years left in him yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tracy 2,456 Posted September 17, 2022 Dooley is on Cameo and looks and sounds nowhere near 94. He also indicated in an AV Club interview he plans to see 100. Of course impossible to predict, but he and Hong seem like some of the strongest centenarian candidates of the living 1920s male actors, especially given that they're still regularly working. Holliman stopped signing fan mail in early 2021 due to age. That was nearly two years ago by now, a fair amount of time given what that usually implies. Agree that he could be a good punt for 2023. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He graduated from high school in 1948 and was childhood friends with Leonard Nimoy. I went source-hunting for this for his Wiki page a while ago and couldn't come up with anything, but he's more likely in his early 90s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The four main actors from the American TV series 'Police Woman', which ran from 1974 to 1978, are all still alive. Holliman, Angie Dickinson, as well as Charles Dierkop and Ed Bernard continue to be among the living. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,801 Posted September 24, 2022 Thought it was time to look at who's still around from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975): Jack Nicholson (b. 1937) R.P. McMurphy Louise Fletcher (1934–2022) Nurse Ratched Will Sampson (1933–1987) Chief William Redfield (1927–1976) Dale Harding Brad Dourif (b. 1950) Billy Bibbit Sydney Lassick (1922–2003) Charlie Cheswick Christopher Lloyd (b. 1938) Max Taber Danny DeVito (b. 1944) Martini Dean Brooks (1916–2013) Dr. John Spivey William Duell (1923–2011) Jim Sefelt Vincent Schiavelli (1948–2005) Bruce Frederickson Michael Berryman (b. 1948) Ellis Alonzo Brown (b. 19??) Attendant Miller – the only one of the credited cast I can't confirm is alive. Last credit was in 1994. Mwako Cumbuka (b. 1950) Attendant Warren Nathan George (1936–2017) Attendant Washington Marya Small (b. 1942) Candy Scatman Crothers (1910–1986) Night Guard Turkle Phil Roth (1930–2002) Woolsey Louisa Moritz (1936–2019) Rose Peter Brocco (1903–1992) Col. Matterson Delos V. Smith Jr. (1906–1997) Scanlon Josip Elic (1921–2019) Bancini Mimi Sarkisian (b. 1951) Nurse Pilbow Ted Markland (1933–2011) Hap Arlich Nicholson has long since retired and is now somewhat of a recluse so it's difficult to judge how well he is. He's been seen in a wheelchair, is very overweight and has been rumoured to have been suffering from the early onset of dementia. Dourif, Lloyd, DeVito and Berryman are all still very active. Berryman does a lot of convention appearances. He seems very mobile, sounds good, but is looking his age. Marya Small (now acting under the name of Mews Small) is somewhat active, acting in a series in 2022. Cumbuka appears to have briefly come out of retirement in 2021 to play a role in a low budget film. Sarkisian only ever had two minor roles, but still shows up in the residency records, living in California. Nicholson will likely be next to go. If not him then a long shot would be DeVito, Berryman or Lloyd, if only for their age/physical condition. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
