Ulitzer95 10,952 Posted May 3, 2021 Wow. Russ Tamblyn (86) is now the last surviving brother. Pretty decent going given that he's had a string of serious health issues for decades. Four Brides left (92, 90, 87 and 85). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,201 Posted September 17, 2021 I'm very surprised that the BBC still hasn't reported the news of Jane Powells death. Standards are slipping I wouldn't be surprised if they don't report it at all sadly but happy to be proved wrong. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkF 58 Posted February 9, 2023 Found another surviving (but uncredited) cast member. Sheila Kuehl (born February 9, 1941 - happy birthday) better known as Zelda Gilroy, the wannabe girlfriend of the title character in the television series The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis and now an American politician (she's also gay) was Julie Newmar's sister. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
