Alas, Betty White’s passing takes _Golden Girls_ and _The Mary Tyler Moore Show_ off the list of shows with one surviving cast member. I’m sure it also eliminates several shows she was in back in the 50’s and 60’s, but I’m not going to verify the mortality of every individual cast member from _Life With Elizabeth_.

The Great Escape is on now.

Of the [top-listed cast](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057115/), David McCallum (‘Dispersal’), John Leyton (‘Willie “Tunnel King”’), and William Russell (‘Sorren’) are still alive.

To add some praise for the longevity of many of the cast…I realized that both Sally Kellerman and Gary Lockwood are also still alive.

But from the previous pilot, unfortunately Susan Oliver and Jeffrey Hunter died young.

I saw this actress (Judee Morton) in an episode of _ **That Girl** _ a couple of days ago and initially mistook her for Laurel.

Yes but she was in the second pilot not the first originally unaired one.

No one remains from the pilot.

And, from that second pilot (“Where No Man Has Gone Before”), there are still several actors still with us, including William Shatner, Gary Lockwood, George Takei, and Andrea Dromm (Yeoman Smith).

Neither did I, until I looked it up to make that post. It looks like he largely retired from acting in the late '90s, though he did apparently appear (along with a ton of other Trek alums, and Snoop Dogg) in a parody film, _[Unbelievable!!!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbelievable!!!!!)_, in 2020.

I always wonder if the guy with the glasses is still alive.

That is a very bizarre sounding movie. How did they get all of those people to be in it. It’s not like they could promise a big pay check.

I happened to be looking up something else and noticed that James Hampton died in 2021, leaving Larry Storch as the last remaining cast member of _F Troop_.

Probably had something to do with a Snoop Dogg party…

“Oh, wow. Yeah, that sounds like a great movie! Let’s do it! Can I get another blunt?”
