Not sure why people are surprised by a lot of these who are not known chainsmokers or boozehounds other then the fact they are really old it's just the law of averages. If the average life of span for a person is in their 70s then that means some people gonna live to be 90 or 100 to numerically avg out the people who get struck down by cancer,murderered,od's etc or the stressaholics who have a heartattack at 50.

I felt pretty dumb about it too because at Christmas we were talking about The Searchers being pretty much the greatest western ever and how sad I thought it was that Lana Wood was the only cast member still alive.

This will sound very silly but whenever I watch old movies from the 60s or earlier, I always feel a little sad that pretty much everyone in that movie is dead.

When I watched THAT CERTAIN AGE (1938) with Deanna Durbin and Jackie Cooper in early 2011, both stars were still alive. Cooper died a few months later, while Deanna is still with us (at 91).

Recently watched 1952's "The Big Sky". Made almost 63 years ago and both male leads- Kirk Douglas and Dewey Martin are still alive.
I can't think of any older films where the two main adult actors are still with us.

A lot of actors in this thread didn't survive until the bump.
Mickey Rooney
Peter O'Toole
Luise Rainer
Shirley Temple
Eli Wallach
Carla Laemmle
Wallace Shawn
Conrad Bain
I had no idea that Olivia de Havilland was still up and about! Zsa Zsa Garbor and Kirk Douglas. Comedian Professor Irwin Corey, the Worlds Foremost Authority, born in 1914, is still alive.

Norman Lloyd, so memorable from his falling-off-the-top-of-the-Statue-of-Liberty role in Hitchcock's SABOTEUR, is still around--and 100 years old!
