I went through his entire collection here to get this info. There may be one or two more living subjects, but some are just too obscure to track down a fate for.

When I get time, I'll also look at the earlier portraits of Allan Warren, which consist of mainly British subjects – royalty, aristocracy, actors and writers etc.

Soprano Margaret Tynes, who was portrayed by van Vechten, dead at 104.

Well only took me 2.5 years to be arsed to do this, but I've compiled a list of subjects of Allan Warren (wiki), the preferred photographer for biography subjects on Wikipedia. This list is by no means complete, but it's "mostly" there. 

Anyone who was anyone back in the day was snapped by Warren. His portraits are fantastic and they ranged from artists, authors, dancers, Hollywood royalty, British variety performers to aristocracy and even senior British and European royals. I've attached a few portraits along the way but there is a more complete collection on Wikimedia here.

A side note – Allan Warren, 76 in October, is still very much active. I have not included more recent notable subjects born after 1980 (who mainly seem to consist of young male Russian ballet dancers).
