Reprising my list of entertainers over 90 years old. I helped keep all but three of last year’s aged picks alive for another full year. In 2021 we lost one of my over-100 picks (Norman Lloyd) and Cloris Leachman and Cicely Tyson gave me a few points, but I’m hoping for a low score again this year to avoid losing any more of these great talents.
As always, I’m playing the odds, not going for points. The maximum I could earn, if all of these wonderful actors dropped dead in early January, is 59. The first, Marsha Hunt, turned 104 on my birthday back in October, and Betty White will turn 100 on January 17. The youngest, alternate Gene Hackman, is a sprightly 90.
They’re listed in descending age.
