Can we name anyone else who outlived the actor they were portrayed by? Phil Seymour Hoffman played the (still-living) Art Howe in Moneyball. And James Gandolfini was Leon Panetta in Zero Dark Thirty. Struggling to find Oscar-nominated instances though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted July 31, 2017 Plenty played Thatcher over the years. Faith Brown not die afore her? She also played the English Queen a fair bit. Oscar related, not so easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted July 31, 2017 Some others for consideration of top of head.... Simon Weisenthal only died 10-15 years ago. Must've outlived Olivier etc. Was played in a hooruva amount of stuff. DL's LaMotta has got to have a biopic 40-50 years ago surely? Mugabe was portrayed quite a lot 20-40 years ago, and I've had a pm to say the actors were eaten. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
