Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted June 30, 2020 Was watching this clip of a 2017 panel discussion between Reiner, Mel Brooks, Norman Lear and Dick Van Dyke recently. Thought Lear looked the most frail out of the lot but Reiner is the first to go. Worth mentioning also that out of the huge cast of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), only Barrie Chase (b. 1933) and Nicholas Georgiade (b. 1933) are still alive.
