Reprising my list of entertainers over 90 years old, for the eighth time. I helped keep all but one of last year’s aged picks alive for another full year. In 2023, Bob Newhart gave me six 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 39. Eva Marie Saint is already 100, and the next two will turn 100 this year, Og willing.
They’re listed in descending age.
