    Max Von Sydow is just gone the 90, while Christopher Plummer and Vera Miles will join that club later this year. English comic actor Leslie Phillips is well in to the 90s.

    Always remembered a Very Miles documentary where it stated that she either drank or bathed in her own piss to keep her youthfull complexion. Could never watch her in Ryans Daughter the same way again lol

    That's Sarah Miles you're thinking of. Vera, as seen in The Searchers yesterday, was herself very luscious!

    Sometime producer and director Scottish-born Joe McGrath is the 9-0 this year.

    Carl Reiner passed away, aged 98 two days ago. Just shy of 3 digits but a long life all the same - and immense talent. I see he was only tweeting 2 days ago which is so surreal.

    Olivia De Havilland RIP.
    Probably the last Golden Age star gone now?

    Looks most likely. Can't think of any pre-WWII stars now still alive? Perhaps the next most venerable may be Angela Lansbury, with 1944 appearances in Gaslight and National Velvet.

    This is a useful list of 'who is still alive'.
    Not a lot of pre-WW2 film debutants left. June Lockhart but more known for TV I guess.

    As it happens I watched The Hunt For Red October last night; one of Connery's more memorable performances (and reminds John McTiernan really was a solid action director). The story he kept turning down scripts for eventual franchises (Lord of the Rings, The Matrix...) would be funny were it not for the fact the film he eventually DID say yes to supposedly prompted retirement (the awful League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)

    One of the great stars, total class.

    John Woodvine, sympathetic doctor in 'An American Werewolf in London', is the 91.

    Watching 'In The Heat Of The Night' last night. Lee Grant, who played the murdered man's widow, is 95. With a Supporting gong for Shampoo, is she the oldest living acting recipient?

    Anthony James, who played a cafe worker in the above, and ill-fated barman Skinny Dubois in Unforgiven, passed away last May.

    I was at this talk aswell. And the Julie Andrews one. Also saw her when the cinema was doing a run of "Driving Miss Daisy" with her and James Earl Jones. I never considered myself a super fan but now that I see it written down
