Any evidence that this woman is actually alive?!

While searching for death proof of Sabine Andrée, I red a facebook post from a friend of her or someone who knew her, wishing her a happy 103rd birthday last year. I can’t find it again but I’ll try. She was supposedly alive back then but it’s been a year and I must say I have no idea right now

Nothing on MatchID too, could be alive like Micheline Gary who died at 97 back in December

[Lafaucheuse 4,043]

She could have died under radar but I would suspect she’d get an obit or be mentioned somewhere, she is one of the last (the last ?) person to have played with Fernandel, the most famous and prolific actor from the 50-60’s (with Yves Montand)

[Lafaucheuse 4,043]

Also, just find this two french centenarians while searching for the Dorenne Ardenne’s post  above mentioned : 

- Francis Rigaud (b. 1920) : screenwriter and producer

- Robert Marcy (b. 1920) : actor and screenwriter. 
Marcy is clearly still alive and quite famous. Surprised I wasn’t aware of him and he wasn’t mentioned here. Whereas Rigaud is less famous and may have died off radar but idk (and I don’t especially care to investigate).

 Miye Ota (26 Aug 1918) Judoka and ballroom dancer

 

Miye Ota is still alive, living in Santa Barbara, California!

The world's oldest (verified) living person and the world's oldest Olympic athlete are easier to measure than actors because in the case of oldest living people, there's an "official" body that monitors them plus a lot of media attention given their extreme longevity. With Olympians there's a limited number of them in the first place.

You can't really do the same for actors because 1) there are millions of them and 2) there isn't a single body for actors like the Olympic Committee or the GRG/Guinness. We can crown somebody as "the oldest living actor" on here but in reality there will likely be someone out there older who had a very minor credit (that's another problem – define what an actor is) or is an obscure stage actor in a small production theatre in a foreign country. Also, actors tend to fade into obscurity if they fall out of the industry.

For the sake of curiosity, maybe it's time we compiled a new list on here of oldest living people with acting credits who were born in 1923 or before.

Any additions welcome! But please provide evidence that they're alive ofc.

I have purposely excluded anyone for which there is zero recent evidence of them being alive (e.g. Eunice Anderson, Daphne Courtney etc.).

Others on the list I've reluctantly added because I think it's unlikely that they've died off radar but they need some attention. Are German actresses Bettina Moissi and Agathe Poschmann both still with us? Tommy Dix... his birth name is on his IMDb but it doesn't show up on MyLife strangely? Hope Foye was covered by her local press around 2008... still alive? A video on YouTube tends to suggest she was in 2022. Norman Spencer was alive in 2022 as of 192.com. Betty Brodel and Ramesh Mehta I'm not 100% on. Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied the rest are still here.

Veterinarian Michel Klein could be included. Born in 1921, was made famous for his role in the « Club Dorothée » which was a child show very very popular in the 80´s-90’s in France. Every Time someone from that show dies, it’s a breaking News and we hear about it for 6 months after.

Caren Marsh Doll (born 6th April 1919) is one I doubt would die off-radar. She was alive in 2022 as per one of your own posts.

I'm reading his French Wiki page atm (yes, I do actually speak French!). It says he was a consultant on the show and presented. That's not an acting credit. I'm not including presenting credits, otherwise I might as well add all the journalists, reporters etc. in.

[Ulitzer95 12,575]

Henry Kissinger...

I was surprised to find that he had a voice acting credit! Playing the character of "Ducky Daddles" in a kids TV cartoon based off of fairytales! He also crept into an episode of Dynasty somehow...

I searched again for Betty on Accurint, nope still living. I think they are all based on her fake Find a Grave page

 

Ramesh Mehta died in 2012, very surprised

That's a different Ramesh Mehta. This one. It looks like a bot website that has mixed the two of them up.

As Tracy said, yes Tommy is still alive

 

Bettina Moissi son posted a video on his IG account and I wished his mother a happy birthday, he liked my comment cause Bettina father, actor Aleksander Moisiu was Albanian and she was famous here. She is still alive

 

Agathe? I believe she is alive but I hope for German historians, (may find her grave one day like others)

 

Hope is still alive living in San Pedro, California, no death update until now

Rader has been discussed on here before, and it is likely he was actually born between 1937 and 1939.

[Ulitzer95 12,575]

Some prick at IMDb keeps changing his birth year back to 1921, after I sent a supporting newspaper article that basically confirmed he was a teenager in the 1950s. Truly given up on that site.

[arghton 6,693]

Liang Jixiang, ancient Chinese military and political figure, Chinese Civil War and Second Sino-Japanese War veteran (but did not participate in the Long March) former propaganda director of the Hangyong County Committee of the Communist Party of China, former member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress and honorary president of Guangdong Hakka Overseas Friendship Association, prematurely dead at 107.
