Handrejka 1,904 Posted April 12, 2018 On 16/02/2013 at 05:57, Davey Jones' Locker said: To complement the venerable British science fiction series thread, let's look at some non-Star bloody Trek American shows. Flash Gordon All of the main actors from the 1930s serials are long gone, the last being Jean Rogers (Dale Arden) back in 1991. Likewise, the actors from the 1950s television show and the much-loved 1979 Filmation animated versions all seem to be gone, which leaves us with the notorious 1980 film... Survivors are: Peter Wyngarde (Klytus) born 1928 Max von Sydow (Ming the Merciless) born 1929 Topol (Dr Zarkov) born 1935 Brian Blessed (Vultan) 1936 Timothy Dalton (Barin) 1944 Sam Jones (Flash) 1954 Melody Anderson (Dale Arden) 1955 Ornella Muti (Princess Aura) 1955 Mariangela Melato (Kara) died back on January 11th this year, it seems. Buck Rogers Likewise no survivor from the 1930s serial, the last main cast member, Constance Moore, dying in 2005. Again, there was apparently a short-lived television show in the 1950s, featuring none other than: Eva Marie Saint (Wilma Deering) born 1924 Of the well-known 1979 series, the following are still alive: Michael Ansara (Kane) born 1922 Tim O'Connor (Dr Heuer) born 1927 Henry Silva (also played Kane) 1928 Felix Silla (Tweekie [and Cousin Itt on the Addams Family!]) 1937 Thom Christopher (Hawk) 1940 Gil Gerard (Buck) 1943 Eric Server (Dr Theopolis) 1944 Erin Gray (Wilma) 1950 Pamela Hensley (Aura) 1950 Battlestar Galactica (the original, not that new-fangled stuff) Lorne Green is obviously long gone but nearly all the rest of the very extensive cast are still alive. I won't list them all here as they were a fairly young cast being nearly all born in the 1950s but the oldest survivor is: Terry Carter (Tigh) 1928 Dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_O'Connor_(actor) I can't say I'll be mourning him. He was probably the worst adult actor to appear in a M*A*S*H episode. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clorox Bleachman 2,433 Posted July 6, 2018 I came across an old show called One Step Beyond (*cue sax*) which ran from 1959-61. Each of the episodes follows someone who is in a haunted place/dealing with ghosts/aliens/creepy paranormal stuff. It was an anthology series and therefore had a total of 670 actors (including the creator and narrator, John Newland). 531 out of 670 of them are known to have died. The remaining cast members are all aged 64-100 and some are very famous. Here they are: ALIVE (88) Norman Lloyd b.1914 Jeanne Manet b.1918 Don Kennedy b.1920 Carl Duering b.1923 Patrick Jordan b.1923 Elizabeth Sellars b.1923 Wayne Mallory b.1924 Fredd Wayne b.1924 Julie Adams b.1926 Eugene Iglesias b.1926 Cloris Leachman b.1926 Robert Crewdson b.1927 Laya Raki b.1927 Eileen Ryan b.1927 Joe Turkel b.1927 Peter Walker b.1927 H.M.

Stewart Taylor Christine Thomas Maxie Thrower Reba Waters Chris Winters Don Womack Additionally, 17 of 96 episodes have an entirely dead cast. They are: Ep11 "The Devil's Laughter" Ep18 "Image of Death Ep20 "Echo" Ep22 "The Riddle" Ep25 "Brainwave" Ep28 "The Inheritance" Ep30 "Message from Clara" Ep33 "Dead Ringer" Ep34 "The Stone Cutter" Ep38 "The Justice Tree" Ep43 "The Day the World Wept - The Lincoln Story" Ep44 "The Lovers" Ep46 "The Mask" Ep62 "Anniversary of a Murder" Ep69 "The Voice" Ep72 "Where Are They?" Ep87 "The Confession" Some of the remaining episodes have only one remaining cast member who is aged 90+. I'll update this list every time someone dies (or if any more details surface about the obscure people). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,050 Posted February 24, 2019 On 05/01/2016 at 23:31, Shroud said: Below is my "Top 15" of sci-fi/horror film people well-known enough to receive obits in both the US and UK with possibly one or two exceptions. *snip* Beverly Owen (79); the original Marilyn Munster on The Munsters. *snip* I considered a few others, but these seem enough for one or two successes during the year. Hedren is still active although showing her age rather badly. McCallum is also active, but into his 80's, people - anyone recall his short-lived 1975 US TV series of The Invisible Man? Owen might get an obit in the UK due to the continuing popularity of The Munsters and its various remakes, etc., over the years.Hansen is perhaps a little iffy, but is well-known enough for his "soaps" work to possibly make the Uk obituaries. The rest should have no problem gaining considerable media attention. Report of the death of Beverley Owen: https://www.facebook.com/650170759/posts/10158280153540760/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0654087/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Munsters original cast is very reduced: 1)Pat Priest (1936): the second Marilyn Munster, diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2001, now in remission. 2)Butch Patrick (1953): Eddie Munster, convicted robber, drug user, frequently tried to commit suicide.
