Earl Holliman (b1928)

Robert Dix (b1935)

James Drury (b1934)

There is another member of the credited cast Jimmy Thompson who has no date of birth or death on IMDB.He is probably dead by now but don't know if there's any confirmation of it or not..

I saw that. He hasn't been in any films since the 50s. I imagine he's most certainly dead.

Jimmy Thompson's whereabouts have been questioned online before... perhaps one for the deadpool detective thread?

Watched 1998 film Meet Joe Black last night. It was pretty meh.

 

Turns out the dying Jamaican woman in the film is still alive. She’ll be 103 this year!

Lois Kelly Miller

 

A few news articles on her online. Also a WWII vet.

 

Well that was a short lived possibility for next year. 

Dead as per YW's post in Foreign Personalities.

Most notably a cast member of BOTH the original Broadway production of Gypsy and the 1962 film (which now only has child actors alive from the notable credited cast).

Probably the crappiest posting of a death of a prolific character actor ever made on this Forum.

 

I'll probably remember Dennehy best from Cocoon, but he was in seemingly everything from the 1980s.

It's an amazing film. Gripping from start to finish, up there with the best of 50s cinema imo.

Neither am I, but a screen shot copy/pasted seems to work.

 

 

James Caan seems to have deleted this tweet now, so perhaps the wheelchair is no longer as temporary as he initially thought?

Death notice for 1930s child actor Martin Spellman who has died aged 94.

Career was finished by 1941, at which point the U.S. was entering WWII and he enlisted to serve.

Later worked in finance and insurance... well everyone sells their soul eventually.
