Cindy Williams has died.
Shit! 
I was head over heels in love with Cindy after seeing her in American Graffiti.
RIP!
Carole Ita White (who is also still alive) appeared in twelve episodes (mostly in the second and third seasons). She played Big Rosie Greenbaum, who was a rival of Laverne and Shirley.
Same with Woody Harrelson/Woody Boyd on Cheers. The character was already named before the part was cast.
As I’ve remarked before, I’ve long wondered if Michel Lonsdale got the part of Hugo Drax in the James Bond movie Moonraker because Ian Fleming described Drax as “a Lonsdale kind of character” (not referring to Michel, of course).
But I’m absolutely SURE that Richard Kiley got to be the narrator of the “ride” in the movie Jurassic Park because Michael Crichton said in his original novel that Kiley was the narrator.
Well, ya gotta admit, that he didn’t do much in the program other than something like “Message from London, Colonel” or “So what do we do?” So if that’s the reason, he probably had a point.
Similar to Robert Reed, who did not care for his “Brady Bunch” role at all and felt that his talents were being wasted, but it’s hard for an actor to turn down a steady paycheck. He still had a number of guest appearances as a cop on “Mannix.”
Spared no expense!

Updating my own post.
Ian Lavender died Friday 2nd February 2024 at 77 years old so no main cast member of Dads Army survives.
In the above post I mention the fairly regular occasional cast member Frank Williams and he died 26th June 2022.

He was not in the original cast but he was one of the main cast for years. He seems to have been the last of the main cast.
Wong was a long established character in the Dr Strange comic books before Benedict Wong was cast to play him in the movies.
I just kind of love that Dr. Strange features two actors named Benedict.
Georgiade died in 2021, so Barrie Chase is now the only surviving cast member of It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
Chase is ninety-one years old. She was cast in movies when she was young, generally alongside older actors. As a result with the passage of time she has become the last surviving cast member of:
Scaramouche (1952)
Road to Bali (1952)
The I Don’t Care Girl (1953)
Call Me Madam (1953)
Athena (1954)
Deep in My Heart (1954)
He Laughed Last (1956)
You Can’t Run Away from It (1956)
The Best Things in Life Are Free (1956)
Silk Stockings (1957)
The George Raft Story (1961)
Cape Fear (1962)
It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963)
The Flight of the Phoenix (1965)
The final surviving main cast member of Hogans Heroes has died.
Since the original Flight of the Phoenix had no speaking female parts (not even flashbacks, or shots of still photos), I assume that she was the dancing girl kinda sorta seen in a double exposure shot. That makes her a very ethereal presence in the movie
IMDB has this:
Wikipedia says
Subsequently, she played Farida in the film The Flight of the Phoenix (1965), starring James Stewart and Richard Attenborough, in a dream sequence.

Yeah, but, as I say, it’s a sort of double exposure, and IIRC, you never actually see her face. It’s about the least appearance one can actually do and still be said to be in the movie.
While not a main cast member, Nita Talbot, who had seven appearances in “Hogan’s Heroes” as a Russian spy, will be 95 next month.
She’s an “It’s that guy!”
From 1955 - 1985, there was barely a TV show she didn’t appear on. She must have worked as much as an A-list star.
One living member of The Odd Couple shares her experience:

Huh. I didn’t know ‘Blanch’ was Oscar Madison’s real wife. I only knew her from Match Game.
