Reprising my list of entertainers over 90 years old. I helped keep all but two of last year’s aged picks alive for another full year, including four centenarians. Carol Channing and Doris Day gave me a few points in 2019, 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 46. The first four are \*still \*over 100. (They seem to be proving George Burns right when he said, “If you make it to 100, you’ve got it made, because very few people die past 100.”) They’re listed in descending age. Norman Lloyd (best known for _St. Elsewhere_) turned 105 on Nov. 8. Betty White will turn 98 on Jan. 17. The youngest, Conrad Janis (_Mork & Mindy_), turns 92 in February.
