Isn't Diana Ross the only main cast member alive from "The Wiz" ? You have to go pretty far down imdb.com to find anyone else still kicking.

Well, with Falk gone, IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD's living cast members are dwindling. But there's still a handful, led by Mickey Rooney and Sid Caesar.
In fact, most if not all Mickey Rooney movies made in the 1930s and '40s.
And, speaking of Falk, now that he's gone, ROBIN AND THE SEVEN HOODS (1964) may have only one living cast member--Barbara Rush.
Most Deanna Durbin movies. She was a star from 1936-1948 and is still alive--she turns 90 this year. I've seen a bunch of her movies within the past year and I'm betting she's the only one from most of them. I was gonna say THAT CERTAIN AGE (1938) for certain because her co-star in that one, Jackie Cooper, died earlier this year, but then I remembered that Peggy Stewart was in it, too, and she's still alive (87) and still working.
Peggy Stewart's co-star from STAGECOACH TO DENVER (1946), Bobby Blake (aka Robert Blake), is still with us and he's probably the only one left from TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948). One of that film's other co-stars, Bruce Bennett, died a few years ago at the age of 100.

Probably most of the 1930s and 1940s movies of sisters Olivia De Havilland and Joan Fontaine - though I note that there are at least three or four minor players left from Gone With the Wind.

Andre Gregory is the only cast member alive from My Dinner With Andre, since poor Wallace Shawn's demise many years ago.

GWTW: I believe Ann Rutherford, who played one of Scarlett's sisters, is still alive as well.
