The list doesn’t include GOD
[/QUOTE]
That’s because God really did die back in 1996 at the ripe old age of 100: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0122675/

Charles Lane, of course. One of the busiest character actor in history, he recently celebrated his 102nd birthday.

I should hook him up with my grandmother, she’s only forty days older than he is!

B.B. King is coming to my town this May (tickets at about $100 a pop). He was born in 1925, but seems so much older. My favourite line by him: “I gave you seven children, and now you want to give 'em back – I’ve got the blues.”
[/QUOTE]
Ol’ B.B. has got alot of mouths to feed!!!
From Wiki: It is reported that King had sex before age 10, and went on to father seventeen children, to several different mothers.
:eek:
Besides, someone had to replace James Brown as the hardest workin’ man in show biz…
Frank Cady, best known as Sam Drucker from Green Acres and Petticoat Junction, is still with us at 91.
Keith Richards?

Nah, Keith is likely immortal. It’ll just be him and Iggy and some cockroaches left when the Sun goes red giant.

Wikipedia has an article on premature celebrity obits. Ironically, Kurt Cobain was listed as dying about a month before his actual death. And Pope John Paul II was listed as dead a record three times before he passed on.
[/QUOTE]
Also ironic is that Wikipedia itself was the source of a recent story falsely claiming that the comedian Sinbad died.

German cockroaches in particular.
Yep, as a comedian said not long ago: “Keith Richards cannot be killed by conventional weapons.”
I believe Richard Widmark is still alive at 90-something.
And Marta Beckett, best known for having performed dance and mime routines at Death Valley Junction’s Opera House for the past 30 or so years.
So, so sad that if we’d done this last week I’da stormed in here trumpeting BETTY HUTTON!
I am always experience mild surprise when I realize that both Arthur C. Clarke and Ray Bradbury are still alive.
I frequently respond to stories of celebrities deaths with ‘wait, he was still alive?’
I can’t remember any in particular off the top of my head, though. >_>

…and (thankfully) Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Damn and blast. Herman Brix, aka Bruce Bennett, just left us last month at 100. I didn’t hear a thing. 
Deanna Durbin is still alive. Her last movie was in the Forties. She’s eighty-five, I believe.
Until I saw Miss Congentiality 2, I’d thought that Eileen Brennan had been long dead. I could’ve sworn that she died years ago from cancer–I was SURE I remembered hearing about it on the news. The memory is a tricky thing, I tell ya!
The Wizard of Waukesha, Les Paul is 91 years old and still playing. In fact he recently put out a new record. Some samples on his website.

And then after that, Jerry Lee Lewis will be left floating through space laughing at them all.
Don’t know if Trixie the Neighbourhood Deer is still alive after last night.
Door, fender, grille, hood, headlights.
The neighbour’s little children are pissed off.
