Recently Elaine Stritch died. Her co-star in the UK series _Two’s Company_, Donald Sinden, has [just died also](http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2014/09/12/20913/donald_sinden_dies_at_90), at age 90. I wouldn’t be surprised if his co-star from _Never The Twain_, Windsor Davies, was next on the list. Stalwarts all. ---
