I would absolutely think she would make it to 100 and beyond. You can argue everyone thinks the same about Betty White and she was put on anyway, but that is fairly recent and surely can't put on the list every old actress who looks good for her age (there is a plethora of actresses born in the 20s that still looks amazing).

And Betty White is a bigger name than Carol Channing and will get more coverage and attention when she dies than Carol has had today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No she won't. She may well get a bigger obit stateside but 99% of what she has done has been US centric, apart from Golden Girls which was shoved onto Channel 4.

I think the Golden Girls itself might be what gives her slightly more coverage in the UK as well. It was mentioned in Coronation Street the other week.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 16, 2019 The excellent point was made by one of my deadpoolers that Channing was almost certainly the last person living that Rich Little used to impersonate. I think Kissinger may have been a possibility but if not he’s probably correct. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,052 Posted November 27, 2022 I just thought of her, I always thought she was famous enough to be on the list wasn’t she ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
