She's 91 now. According to co-star Bill Mumy --she was the most intelligent person he ever met.June Lockhart (6/25/1925) will soon be 90. She starred in Lassie as mom, and in Lost in Space also as mom.
She's in Lockstep with June --still living.Cara Williams (6/29/1925) will be 90 a few days after Ms. Lockhart. She starred in the TV show Pete and Gladys. She was in the mold of Lucille Ball. I remember a silent skit she did with Red Skelton. She could do drama as well as comedy.
Douglas is now 100. Olivia is 101.I thought it would be fun to remember some celebrities who are still living.
Zsa Zsa Gabor (2/2/17). Zsa, she of multiple marriage infamy is 97.
Kirk Douglas (12/9/16) Yes, father of Michael, old Spartacus himself is 97.
Olivia de Havilland (7/1/16) She's a favorite of mine. Her role as Melanie in Gone With The Wind is classic. Did you know she teaches Sunday School in a church in France? She just became 98 last month.
Irving Benson (1/31/14) was on Carson's Tonight show a lot. Benson was one of the last (if not the only) Vaudeville performeer still alive. He's 100.
And the winner is...Luise Rainer (1/12/10). I will always remember her role in the movie The Good Earth. She was very convincing as O-lan. She is 104 years of age.
Did I miss anyone?
The other three are dead.
She's 95 now.Betty White comes to mind. She's 92 and still working.
Mr. Lloyd is now 102.I had forgotten to mention Norman Nathan Lloyd. He was born on November 8,1914. So he's 100. Mr. Lloyd starred in St. Elsewhere. And he played Mr. Nolan in Dead Poet's Society.
I'm happy to report that all five are still alive.Some More
Vera Lynn. She's a British singer. She has been known for The White Cliffs Of Dover, My Son, My Son, and We'll Meet Again.
She was born on 3/20/1917. So she's coming up on 98.
Carol Channing. She was born on 1/31/1921 (a few days after my dad's birth). So she'll be 94 later this month.
Janis Paige, she was an actress. She was featured in a lot of movies. Her birthdate is 9/16/1922. She's in her 92nd year.
Gloria Henry was born on 4/2/1923; coming up on 92. She played "mom" to Dennis The Menace.
One of my favorite singers : Doris Day. She was born on April 3 of either 1922 or 1924. Let's go with the latter date. She'll be 91. I love how she sings and acts.

How could I have missed these folks?
Alan Young. Yes, he of Mr. Ed fame. Mr. Young played Wilbur Post. "Oh Wilbur!"
He's 95, having been born Novemeber 19,1919.
Janet Waldo. She is the voice of Judy Jetson (and many other voice-overs). She's also in Adventures in Odyssey which I will admit to listening a good deal to in the past. She was born 2/4/1920. She'll soon be 95 and looks real good for her age.
Jimmy J. Lydon. Who is he you may ask? None other than Henry Aldrich. His movie mom would exclaim from a distance :"Henry, Henry Aldrich!" I miss those days when I watched those episodes. Mr. Lydon was born on 5/30/1923. He'll be 92 in a few months DV.
I'm not sure. Patricia Morison was born in 1915, she's 102.Lupita Tovar, also born in 1910, now holds the title?
Mary Carlisle was born in either 1912 or 1914. So she either 103 or 105. She co-starred in three movies with Bing Crosby in the 1930s.

He died in Feb. of this year at age 102.Mentioning Steve Allen triggered my memory. Professor Irwin Corey was on Steve's Westinghouse show many times. Corey always broke me up.
The comic is 100 (7/29/1914)
She was so nice. She passed away in April of this year.In the 80's and 90's when I sometimes watched the David Letterman show his mother made periodic visits. She's a sweet woman at 93 (July/18/1921).
Well, he finally passed away at age 111. No cause was given for his death.Someone who is not associated with show business, but because of his extreme age I feel compelled to mention him.
Zhou Youguang is acknowledged as the father of Pinyin. Pinyin is a pronunciation guide for the Chinese language. Elementary students learn it before progressing to the written Chinese characters. Zhou was assigned the task by Chairman Mao in 1955. The former headed up the team and he completed the job three years later.
He is translated the entire Encylopedia Britannica into Chinese. What a workhorse. But now he sleeps a lot and works when he wants to.
How old is he? He just turned 109! (1/13/1906)
Nanette is coming up on age 97 later this month.Nanette Fabray who most remember as a panelist on Hollywood Squares, is 94 (10/27/1920). She's the aunt of Shelly F. who played the daughter on the Donna Reed Show.
