Just passed away yesterday. He was 94.
Ali MacGraw is 87. She peaked in popularity in the early 1970s. She hasn’t appeared in anything except documentaries since 1997.
Actress Tuesday Weld, whose last film role was 25 year ago, is 82.
This didn’t give her age. She’s 93. She never did anything else as famous as her role as Agent 99 on Get Smart, but she’s still in good shape mentally at least.
Still “alive” in 2026 and it just released its 32nd update DLC pack.
When I was in college (early 70s) there was a showing of Goodbye, Columbus on the campus. There were posters advertising it with the phrase: “Ali Macgraw - in the raw!”
That poster was pretty dishonest. Not much of her body is seen in the movie. It was mild stuff for a movie in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
True (as I recall after 50 years) but it was a way to get students to see it.
She’s not especially famous, but today I discovered that Elaine Lelane (widow to Jack Lalane, the fitness guru of the mid 20th century) is still kicking at age 100.
Jack Lalane, incidentally, lived to age 96, and died of complications from pneumonia. If he hadn’t been so stubborn (he had been sick for a week but refused to see a doctor), he might have lived even longer.
Like Jim Henson and Kyle Busch.
My wife has always been adamant if I get any mild bronchitis or lung irritation, go the doctor immediately to fight it right away.
Pneumonia can get way out of control very quickly.
Carly Simon turns 83 today.
she “never exercised” and had lived on a diet of "chocolate doughnuts, candy, soda, frankfurters and ice cream for year…
Which leads to my favorite SNL fake commercial.
I’m seeing 'Happy 100th, Mel Brooks" messages, though wikipedia says he was born on the 28th, not the 26th, of 1926. In either case, it’s a heck of a life!
On the sadder side, “Veda” Ann Blyth made it to only 98, passing two days ago. The Golden Age of Hollywood movies really doesn’t have many representatives left. (Blyth was “Veda,” the Daughter from Hell, in Mildred Pierce, 1945.)
