Not a celebrity in the sense of being a performer, but certainly [Ralph Reed](http://neprimer.com/cc/articles/RalphReed.htm) fits the bill. Jon Stewart even commented on the fact that Ralph never seems to age when he was on _The Daily Show_ last.

How about **Joan Rivers**? She claims her looks are due to plastic surgery, but that may be just a dodge to distract the public from her quest for virgin blood.

Florence Henderson gets my vote. She’s always looked like she’s had her face frozen into an industrial grade plastic mask, no matter what her age.

James Gregory. He looked the same on Bonanza as the sheriff in the 1960’s as he did on Barney Miller as the police commission in the1980’s.

Jack Nicholson. Yes, he is very talented at playing Jack Nicholson.

I also think that in 10 more years we’ll be adding Eddie Murphy to this list.

[41 this December.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000093/)

He may belong to the Deluxe Gold Dong Undead in that he appears to actually be getting younger, not just unaging.

But I really think he’s got biceps - I mean talent! Talent! That’s what I meant. Twelve Monkeys and all…Se7en! He was great in…

Ahh, shiny blue eyes…

I was going to say Jack! 😃

Yeah he looks old, but you know he’s always been a vampire since the 1960s. Must be those sunglasses he wears 24/7.

Johnny Depp. I believe he’s 41 as well, but still looks like he’s 25.

Leonardo DiCapri must have joined at a very young age. He looks like he’s about 12.

::tweeet:: Foul! Johnny obviously doesn’t belong on this list - the man oozes talent. He’s fantastic.  
At least I think so.

Unfortunately he is _dead_-dead not [undead](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0339834/) . I guess it doesn’t prove that he isn’t a vampire but they did [bury him.](http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=6797096&pt=James%20Gregory)

And Keith Richards is a zombie, not a vampire.

George Hamilton.

I, like Zonker Harris, have competed in the George Hamilton, Greater Palm Springs, Tanning Open. I came in third behind a nudist from Clearwater and a surfer from suburban Sydney.

I’m suspicious of [Amy Irving](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001388/). I recently saw her on _Dinner For Five_ and she’s barely aged since _Carrie_. She may have talent, but she definately has no soul…after all, she was married to Spielberg for a while.

Not one that most people would catch, but George Wendt has got to be one of the undead. He’s looked just like “Norm” for over 20 years!

My Og, there’s a whole cadre of them from 80’s sitcoms…What about Alan Thicke? He’s not aged in decades.

No, he merely oozes.

[John Stamos](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001764/)

If it weren’t for the talentless pre-requisite, I’d have to nominate [James Marsters](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0551346/) (42?!), but he must be a zombie, instead.

I wonder about the cast of “Growing Pains”–Alan Thicke, Kirk Cameron, Leonardo DiCaprio? Was there a three for one special that week?

The first time Father Time visited Tina, she thought it was Ike, broken out of prison, and she kicked his ass. Father Time has not returned.

No, although she fits in the no-talent requirement her looks are definitely due to surgery. In fact if she has one more face lift her eyes will be on the side of her head.  
Speaking of eyes, I hear she can’t close her eyes and sleeps with her eyes open … in her coffin. 😛  
I was going to mention Johnny Depp but I agree that he does not fit in the “no-talent” requirement. And he can ooze all over me anytime.
