Tom Adkins, who I associate with Halloween 3, is still alive at 89. He was in a lot of stuff, even the TV show MASH.
She even mentions that he looks like her late husband!
When I see Schuck, I always think of Holmes & Yoyo, a single-season sticom from almost 50 years ago. Probably not the work he wants to be remembered for.
John Schuck did an episode of Law & Order with Linda Thorson, so I looked her up. Best known as Patrick Macnee’s partner, Tara King, on The Avengers in 1968, after Diana Rigg left the show. Still alive at 77, and has an IMDb credit from this year.
When I see Schuck, I think of McMillan and Wife, which was part of NBC’s Mystery Movies, which also featured Columbo and McCloud. Schuck played an aide to Rock Hudson’s McMillan; Susan St. James was the Wife.
This is what made me go “he’s still alive?” I enjoyed him in McMillan and Wife
Sadly. we lost Earl Holliman on November 25th at age 96. I met him many years ago at a benefit for Actors and Others For Animals, a wonderful organization where he was president for 34 years. He was an extremely gracious person and never let anyone feel that they were anything but an equal. May he RIP.
In addition to his connection with Police Woman which I mentioned, Holliman had the lead role in the first episode of The Twilight Zone.
Was he Death?
I think he was the Cook in Forbidden Planet who got Robbie to conjure up a batch of moonshine.
I always think of his turn as Herman Munster, which (a) had to have been doomed from the start, given the inevitable comparisons to Fred Gwynne; but which (b) featured sucker-punch line delivery from Schuck that still lingers on in my suggestible little brain…
Earl Holliman was in the first episode of The Twilight Zone as a man who wanders into a deserted town with know memory of who he is. He sees things like hot coffee and burning cigarettes, and he hears evidence of people; but no one is there. I won’t spoil the ending.
Since today is Thanksgiving I was looking for some channel to watch Mighty Joe Young and noticed Terry Moore is still with us at age 95.
Amy Irving’s mother, Priscilla Pointer, who was in a few movies and TV episodes, is currently half a year past the century mark.
Whereas Priscilla Presley has outlived her ex-husband, daughter Lisa Marie, and one of her grandchildren (her grandson Benjamin), but is only 79.
When Ursula Andress had her only child with her then-lover Harry Hamlin in 1980, there were remarks about the fact that she was fifteen years, seven months, and nineteen days older than him.
She’s still alive at 88.
There was a Bond marathon on one of my TV channels yesterday, which got me thinking of this thread and who might be the earliest Bond villain who’s still alive. I haven’t done an exhaustive search, but my guess would be Julian Glover (For Your Eyes Only), still alive at 89. Michale Lonsdale (Moonraker) was close; he passed away only four years ago.
Marguerite LeWars, who was one of Dr No’s henchwomen in the first Bond movie, is still alive. Dr No was her only film credit.
If you’re only counting main villains, it’s probably Woody Allen.
Interesting. I wouldn’t call her a henchwoman, though. No seems to only communicate with Dent, which would make him the henchman. He probably passes the orders along, which would make her title “underling” or “lackey”.
I was thinking only of the official Eon productions, so that leaves Woody Allen out.
I just checked using the Sean Connery-Daniel Craig movies as my guide.
Yahpet Kotto died just a couple years ago, but was in Live and Let Die. Close, but nope.
Julian Glover is indeed the furthest back Bond Villian to be alive.
The next movie, Octopussy, had Steven Berkhoff. He’s alive as well. After that, it was Christopher Walken, also still alive.
In fact, all the Bond villains after Julian Glover are still alive.
