This is not meant to be a list of every actor who is still living , 90 or over who has been in a film, just the greats , those that bring back film memories for us. Although like my last list i've probably forgotten some obvious ones. I've deliberately left out some actors like 98 yr old Al Lewis who belong in a tv list.

Anymore ?

Well then, both character actor Frank M. Thomas and his actress wife Mona Bruns lived to 100. Carl Esmond lived to 102. So did Dorothy Dickson. Audrey Munson made 104. Producer Hal Roach appeared in a few films, he died at 100.

[Allen Dace]

How about LOU JACOBI (94) born 13 December 1913?



Al Lewis died on 3 February 2006 aged 95.

[philips]

After Al Lewis died, his son revealed that Al had been born in 1923, not 1910 as he had claimed. So he was only 82.
