Yep, I forgot about it.  More appropriate in this thread, though.

Fred Astaire's second wife - Robyn - was 45 years his junior. So, she remains alive, likely obitable (she was a noted jockey in her own right), and a mere 75 years old

I recognize her. She would crop up in quite a few shows and films. Could never remember her name though.

Actually he was quite a guy. He wanted to make sure she would inherit from him after he died. At the time of their marriage a lot of old farts were just shaking up with younger gals, who took care of them while they got sick before they died, only to be left poor and homeless when the old fart died. He took care of her in that way. They seemed to be in love, for real. He was a lucky man and she was a lucky lady as well.
