I was surprised to find that Prunella Scales (age 92) is still alive and also not yet mentioned in this topic. Connie Booth is 84, and John Cleese is 85.
Yep, she is on my Celebrity Death Pool list.
I swear I remember hearing that Michael Palin had passed away, but of course that is not the case.
Four of the six Pythons have made it to their early-to-mid 80s, which is not too bad, I guess.
Another living actor from that series is Kenneth Washington. He was a cast member in the show’s last season.
It seems kind of off to describe Eva as Anne’s step-sister when the two apparently never even met. They were a day more than one month apart in age.
The current President of Phillipines is Bongbong Marcos – his mother, Imelda-of-the-many-shoes, is very proud of him.
Yes, they did meet, and step-sister is the standard word for their relationship when Anee’s father married Eva’s mother.
I was reading today about the RFK assassination files being released. TIL Sirhan Sirhan is still alive when I realized the article was referring to him in the present tense.
Football player/actor Rosey Grier was present when Kennedy was shot and was one of the people who helped capture Sirhan. Grier is still alive at 92.
Hmm, I guess this is one good reason for this thread. I thought he had died 5-10 years ago.
Rosey Grier was in several episodes of a particular TV series, which I just looked up only to discover that I had erroneously killed Frank Converse. I mean, he is only just short of 87, but still keeping on keeping on.
Minor trivia: for years that was Frank Converse’s voice in the recruitment ads “the few, the proud, the Marines.”
Ok, I didn’t know that either! Both that Rosey Grier was there and that he’s still alive…
Pope Bergoglio just cashed it in, but this guy is still offering religious counsel. Granted, he is more than half a decade younger, but still going at it.
(ETA – oops, I see he is mentioned upthread)
I still picture Rosey Grier as an older but robust gentleman from when OJ supposedly confessed to him. 92 seems shocking until I realized that the OJ thing was 30 years ago!
Richard Benjamin (86) and his wife Paula Prentiss (87) are still with us.
I supposed they were still with us, but I am surprised that they’re still married. I thought I saw something a long time back that they had split. Married since 1961. Nice.
Along with George Plimpton and Rafer Johnson, who are no longer with is.
I think the last time Grier was in the news was in 2017, when he announced he was seeking the Republican nomination in California’s upcoming governor’s election (at the age of 84). His campaign didn’t gain any momentum and he withdrew after a few months.
And I still love Saturday the 14th to this day.
