[Barbara Fan]

Very much the end of an era, there can't be many of his generation left.

And let's not forget Natalie Wood today, may she also rest in peace.

What an amazing age.

Olivia de Havilland is also 103. Not sure who else from that era is still with us.

Betty White is gaining!

What an amazing age.

Olivia de Havilland is also 103. Not sure who else from that era is still with us.

Angela Lansbury, Eva Maria Saint, Glynis Johns, Sidney Poitier, Gina Lollobrigida and Dick Van Dyke are all in their 90s and still very much with us.

Norman Lloyd, although not a major star, had a number of significant film roles with Alfred Hitchcock and also worked on Citizen Kane with Orson Wells, is still alive at 105.

Dunno about you guys but I just find Catherine Zeta Jones utterly nauseating.

Australian actress, Mary Ward who is best known as gentle "Mum"' Brooks in "Prisoner Cell Block H" and dastardly Dee Morrell in the early years of "Sons and Daughters" is still going strong at the age of 104 (and will be 105 next month).

And let's not forget Natalie Wood today, may she also rest in peace.

Hope the hideous story isn't true.

RIP, Issur Danielovitch Demsky aka Kirk Douglas.



(Unless the rape & abuse rumour is true. If that's the case, may he not RIP.)

Don’t forget his involvement in this, too....

 

[James from London]

There was a quiz on the radio this morning. "Name the Hollywood actor who died this week at the age of 103." "Joan Collins," someone replied.

My sympathies to his family on their loss. Still he did live a really long life. 103 is a great age.
