The rules are simple. There’s a classic movie. You guess if any of the cast members are still alive. For purposes of the game, we’re only including cast members who had an “above the line” credit in the original cast list.

Casablanca (1942)  
Citizen Kane (1941)  
Dracula (1931)  
Gone With The Wind (1939)  
How Green Was My Valley (1941)  
The Maltese Falcon (1941)  
The Philadelphia Story (1940)  
Rebecca (1940)  
Stagecoach (1939)  
The Wizard of Oz (1939)

I know _Gone with the Wind_ is one, because Olivia de Havilland is immortal.

_The Wizard of Oz (1939)_ - all gone (there’s probably a few Munchkins around, but that’s about it…)

Yes. I saw part of this on TCM (I think) a few weeks ago and got to wondering if any of them were still alive. I looked through IMDb, and Klugman’s the only one.

It was another thread about _Gone With The Wind_ that inspired this game. De Havilland, as you said, is still alive as are several of the actors that played children in the movie.
