He’s probably already been mentioned but I was a little surprised to see a recent present-tense reference to Dick Cavett. He’s 87.
Actually, former MLB player—otherwise that would be really impressive.
Alive, and working.
Some I just found out about.
Sid Kroft, co-creator of a number of kid’s shows from my childhood (which was a long time ago) is still alive at 94. (And his brother Marty died just last year.)
The instrumental “Green Onions” was released in 1962 and two of its composers are still alive; Booker T. Jones is 79 and Steve Cropper is 82.
Sam Moore of Sam & Dave is still alive at 88.
Dabney Coleman passed away yesterday.
A two-time “Mr. Universe,” former professional wrestler and actor, Barbados-born Earl Maynard is still around at 88.
I could swear I saw Mr. Maynard on a wrestling show (“Beat the Champ”) in the early 1970s when he was asked about an upcoming match between two heels. He said: “I hope they both lose.” This phrase is more often attributed to Henry Kissinger speaking of the Iran-Iraq war in the '80s, proving he was not only a war criminal (unindicted), but also a plagiarist.
Civil rights activist and politician (mayor of Atlanta, UN ambassoador, Congress - pretty impressive CV) is 92 and still active.
“Who is Andrew Young?”
I recently read a “remember when” article about the short-lived 1967 sitcom Good Morning World. And I saw that its two leads, Joby Baker and Ronnie Schell, are still alive at 90 and 92. Goldie Hawn was also in the series.
Yes!
I messed that one up, thanks

Country music legend Willie Nelson is 91, and has just released his 75th album. He also tours regularly.
Whatever he’s doing, I’d like to do it too.
My understanding is that it’s considerable amounts of cannabis. 
On the road, again?

Dr. Ruth Westheimer will be 96 on Tuesday, June 4. I hadn’t thought of her in ages but then a clip if her interviewing Gene Simmons in 1986 popped up on my YouTube feed.
