Rest in Peace. One of those characters from the movies (seen them all) I remember very well.

Living main (+ supporting) casts of the Non-Eon Bond films, ones notable enough to have a wikipedia page:

 

 

Casino Royale (1967) parody starring David Niven (1910-1983) as James Bond:

 

Ursula Andress (b. 1937) as Vesper Lynd

Joanna Pettet (b. 1941) as The Detainer

Woody Allen (b. 1935) as Dr. Noah (Bond's nephew, "main villain")

Barbara Bouchet (b. 1943) as Miss Moneypenny

Jean-Paul Belmondo (1933-2021) as French Legionnaire

Supporting cast:

Jacqueline Bisset (b. 1944) as Miss Goodthighs

Bernard Cribbins (1928-2022) as Carlton Towers

Gabriella Licudi (b. 1941) as Buttercup

Elaine Taylor (b. 1943) as Meg

(Also, one of the directors, Joseph McGrath (b. 1928) is still alive as well as Burt Bacharch, also born 1928 whose music was used in the film.)

Gabriella Licudi has an unsourced Wiki edit indicating she died back in September. Apparently, Equity are also reporting this according to this post:

For completeness, Topol played Milos Columbo in For Your Eyes Only. Roger's co-stars are definitely getting thinned out now.

Sue Vanner, the Log Cabin girl from The Spy Who Loved Me has initiated divorce proceedings against estranged hubby Warren Todd: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12001087/Bond-girl-Sue-Vanner-files-divorce-Lisa-Vanderpumps-stepson-Warren-Todd.html

 

In passing, it should be noted she is a cancer survivor.

Alec Mills, a camera operator and later director of photography on eight James Bond films combined, running chronologically from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" to "License to Kill", has died. He was 91. Mills also worked as a cinematographer.

Not a death or illness, but Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been formally offered the opportunity to take over the role from Daniel Craig, according to reports.

And only five years after they finished filming 'No Time To Die'. Has there ever been a longer gap between completion of one Bond actor in the role and the announcement of the next? You'd think they would have spent the pandemic years preparing for casting a replacement and would have had it ready to announce long before now, but that clearly didn't happen.
