Theres fewer than I thought!
I was going to say Bob Hope, but he really wasn't a sit-com actor.

I was going to say Karl Malden (who recently passed at the age of 97) but I don't think he was ever on a sitcom.

Harry Morgan (Dragnet and M*A*S*H) - 94 and still alive with us!

Jester Hairston (That's My Mama! and Rolly Forbes on "Amen") - he was 98 when he died. Had he still been with us, he probably would've lived to be 100 yrs. of age.

Helen Martin (Pearl Shay on "227") - she was 90 when she died and died 4 months shy of her 91st birthday.



Not sitcom related but:

Frances Reid ("Days of our Lives") - she's currently 94 and is pushin towards her 95th birthday.

Not quite, Gale was 89 when he died.

Jane Wyman was also in her 90s when she passed, but whether or not you consider Falcon Crest a sitcom is up for debate. ;)

just to point out a spelling error you made: "McHale" is spelled with an H, and his first name was Quinton.
Also George Burns also had another sitcom in the early 60s called "SUSIE AND ME" or something like that. Whatever it was, I think it was on ABC and was short-lived.

God bless anyone who makes it to be that old :D
I was watching something on TV a few weeks ago, and they were saying that in 20 years, it won't be unusual for people to live to be 1000.
But, as my mother pointed out "WHY would you want to live that long"?

:eek: Is 1000 a typo? I definitely wouldn't want to live that long :lol:

I fixed the McHale spelling in my original post. :o Wow, that was a blunder! Thanx for catching that.

If not him, maybe Jim-Bob?

I wouldn't mind having a sip or 2 of the recipe myself! Josephine Hutchison who originally played Miss Mamie in The Homecoming lived to age 94 and Dorothy Stickney who played Miss Emily lived to age 101.

See?? :nod:

Also George Burns also had another sitcom in the early 60s called "SUSIE AND ME" or something like that. Whatever it was, I think it was on ABC and was short-lived.

It was called "Wendy and Me", and it also starred Connie Stevens (as Wendy), Ron Harper, and James Callahan (who later appeared in the syndicated Charles in Charge and died in his 70s). It appeared on ABC in the 1964-65 season (the same season when ABC aired The Bing Crosby Show), and Connie Stevens made a solo TV Guide cover appearance during the season, I think on the 5/1/65 issue.

If IMDb is correct, Alan turns 90 on Nov. 19th.

Helen Hayes, 92

Art Linkletter, 97 (Still with us) - Although mostly know for talk show host, was an actor in earlier years.

Kitty Carlisle, 96 (To Tell The Truth)

(I'm not limiting this to sitcom actors, now)

Robert Stack, host of Unsolved Mysteries (1987-2002), and star of The Untouchables would've been 90 years old this year had he still been alive.

Karl Malden, who was best for his work as Det. Stone on "The Streets of San Francisco" was 97 years of age when he died this year.

I got another new one here, folks:

Norman Lloyd - Dr. Auschlander of St. Elsewhere is currently 94 years old...and still with us.

Alan Young from Mr. Ed turned 90 yesterday November 19, and now can be officially added to this list!

Can't believe I forgot to include James Gregory (Inspector Lugar on Barney Miller). He lived to be almost 91 (Dec. 1911 - Sep. 2002).

Wow there are quite a few. Good topic and interesting. Keep them coming.I was watching Caine Mutiny and was wondering about Van Johnson. How is/was he?

You mentioned that one ^ :)

I know. When I mentioned him last time he was 94 and he just turned 95 this past November.

Well many people will only consider him our one of country's presidents, but Ronald Reagan was also an entertainer and actor as well.

He was 93 when he died.
