This may have been covered before.

Tina Louise hated being connected to Gilligan’s Island and she's the last cast member still living.

Also, Max Baer Jr. didn't like being associated with the Beverly Hillbillies until he thought he could make money off it. Remember his Beverly Hillbillies hotel/casino?

Can you name any one else?

Richard Moll apparently didn't get along (https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=429128) Harry Anderson when they were making Night Court and immediately scoffed (https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=307918) at the notion (when Anderson was still alive) of doing a Night Court reunion presumably because of the bad memories that he had over it. I'm kind of cheating a bit since among the main cast, John Larroquette, Marsha Warfield, Ellen Foley, and Karen Austin are still with us, but still Night Court for an '80s show, has a depressingly high mortality rate with Harry Anderson, Markie Post, Charles Robinson, Paula Kelly, Selma Diamond, and Florence Halop now deceased.

What I meant was last surviving cast member from a show.

Yet I didn't know of the problems Richard Moll had with Harry Anderson. Thanks for the link.

Gee, how could I forget that? He really was bitter.

I feel bad for Jay. He really had to grow up fast.

I’m really happy to hear that he enjoyed being around his co stars.His co stars really loved Jay.

But it says it's a parody, and the video was obviously done for laughs. So I'm not sure I get it. Was he really that angry and bitter over the show?

No kidding. Not Necessarily the News was a classic show for HBO.

Actually he was more upset with his relatives' handling of him while filming the show. I remember him saying he had to get everything on the first take or be punished.

He did get along well with the other actors. Actually had a great support system through them.

If that aunt was really as evil as Jay North says, I really feel for him. For such an unhappy, abused kid, he really was a good actor.

Susan Dey outlived David Cassidy (but not Shirley Jones) and has always dis-associated herself from The Partridge Family.

I think the only actor dead from that show are Cassidy and Dave Madden.

Yes, I think you're right. Bonaduce has somehow survived, too.

Suzanne Crough (Tracy Partridge) died (https://www.thewrap.com/partridge-family-star-suzanne-crough-died-of-rare-heart-ailment-coroner-says/) in 2015 (https://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-me-suzanne-crough-20150429-story.html).

Had I been thinking I would have titled this, " last surviving cast member of a show who also hated being associated with it"

Many replies have shows listed where there are more than one living cast member.
