Most recent film with no living cast members

The Blair Witch Project? :smiley:

<golf clap>

I always liked Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker teamups (F-Troop and the original Ghost Busters). Storch is still alive, and (AFAICT) his 1951 film The Prince Who Was a Thief has only him and Piper Laurie surviving.

This is one of those things that “everyone knows” but isn’t true. First of all, it was far from “everyone.”

Cite.

Doing the math, if the whole cast and crew had been male, we would have expected 95 to have gotten cancer, and 51 of them to have died of it, no matter where it was made. If it had been an all-female group, the expected numbers would have been 84 and 42. The actual numbers fall right in the middle of those two ranges. There is therefore no reason to believe that the filming location had any connection to the incidence of cancer among members of that group.

Yet another case of confirmation bias.

Wouldn’t the couple on the picnic blanket be included? Or everyone in the then-known universe, but that’s pushing it.

Haven’t the rules for crediting changed over the years to include far more members of a movie’s cast than just the leads? This isn’t a bad thing, but it makes this challenge far more difficult as nearly every minor role these days is credited. For example, I checked Cocoon (1985)and realized that this film featuring mostly elderly stars might not lose all its credited actors for decades.

How about The Producers (the original film from 1967)? All of the major actors are gone, except for Lee Meredith, who played Ulla.
I’m surprised how many of the actors from Young Frankenstein (1975) are gone. It seems not that long ago they had a reunion show, but only Teri Garr, Gene Hackman, and Cloris Leachman temain of the major actors. (Mel Brooks is still with us, but he only had the one brief part and a lot of voiceovers. Danny Goldman, the medical student who asks all the questions, is still around, but retired from acting.)

And 2+ weeks later it qualifies.
