View Full Version : Last remaining main cast member(s)
With the death of Rob Reiner, it means that Sally Struthers is the last remaining cast member (regarding the main and original cast members) of All In The Family.
Tina Louise is the last remaining cast member of Gilligan's Island.
Mickey Dolenz is the last remaining cast member of The Monkees.
I think that Todd Bridges is the last remaining cast member of Different Strokes.
I think that the last remianing cast members of Family Affair are Johnny Whittaker and Cathy Garver.
Any others?

stevea 12-18-2025, 10:59 AM From Diff'rent Strokes, Mary Jo Catlett, Shavar Ross, and Danny Cooksey are still with us, but technically they weren't cast members for all seasons of the show.
stevea 12-18-2025, 11:21 AM From Leave it to Beaver, several recurring cast members are still alive (Rusty Stevens, Steve Talbot, Tiger Fafara), but from the main cast, only Jerry Mathers is still alive.
From Bewitched, only Erin Murphy is still alive (her fraternal twin Diane might be alive also, but she may not have been credited)
BigManMike 12-18-2025, 12:08 PM From All in the Family, Danielle Brisebois is still with us, but she was only part of the case in the last season.
BigManMike 12-18-2025, 12:10 PM Max Baer Jr is the only one left from the Beverly Hillbillies.

From Bewitched, only Erin Murphy is still alive (her fraternal twin Diane might be alive also, but she may not have been credited)
Erin Murphy came on in year 3, so from the first 2 years nobody is alive.
John Astin became the last surviving cast member (https://www.google.com/search?q=last+surviving+cast+member&sca_esv=ceb0330bb46d8426&sxsrf=AE3TifMQkSoGqwi4wlr8sMCa5F1SViUKrw%3A1766110920893&ei=yLZEafeeNuuF0PEP-6-ykA8&ved=0ahUKEwj3osvwy8iRAxXrAjQIHfuXDPIQ4dUDCBE&uact=5&oq=last+surviving+cast+member&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiGmxhc3Qgc3Vydml2aW5nIGNhc3QgbWVtYmVyMgoQABiABBgUGIcCMgUQABiABDIFEC4YgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGO8FSIcEUABYpQFwAXgAkAEAmAFdoAFdqgEBMbgBA8gBAPgBAfgBApgCAqACbagCEsICBxAjGOoCGCfCAg0QIxjJAhjwBRjqAhgnwgIZEC4YgAQYigUYQxjnBhjIAxjqAhi0AtgBAZgDCLoGBggBEAEYCJIHAzEuMaAHxQ2yBwMwLjG4B2TCBwMyLTLIBwyACAE&sclient=gws-wiz-serp) of The Addams Family following Lisa Loring's death in January 2023.
Joyce DeWitt became the last surviving original main cast member of Three's Company following Suzanne Somers' death in October 2023. Richard Kline, Priscilla Barnes, and Jenilee Harrison are still with us (https://www.slashfilm.com/1539445/only-major-actors-still-alive-threes-company/) as of this writing, but they didn't become principal cast members for Three's Company until later.
Pam Dawber (https://www.slashfilm.com/1460244/only-major-actors-still-alive-mork-and-mindy/) is now the last surviving original main cast member (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/lifestyle/article-10598383/Where-Mork-Mindy-cast-Conrad-Janis-dead-happened-rest-stars-40-years-later.html) of Mork & Mindy following Robin Williams' death in 2014 and later, Conrad Janis' own death (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/arts/television/conrad-janis-dead.html) in 2022.
From All in the Family, Danielle Brisebois is still with us, but she was only part of the case in the last season.
I guess all the babies and young boys who played "Little Joey" are still alive but could be in their 40s but though they became part of the main cast, they came much later on.

Coffeecup 01-10-2026, 02:29 PM Just about all the shows I watch, every main cast member is dead. I know I am stuck in the past. A few days ago, I bumped into the Lone Ranger and have been watching that show.
Any suggestions on shows of this century to watch??

Any suggestions on shows of this century to watch??Best sitcom of the 21st century came from Canada. Live action version of Corner Gas is set in a small town (it had an animated continuation which wasn't as good).
Best US 21st century sitcom by far is The Middle, starring Emmy winner Patricia Heaton. I liked her husband played by Neil Flynn on The Middle a lot more than Ray Romano on Everybody Loves Raymond.
Drama wise you might like Blue Bloods which lasted 14 seasons. It stars Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg, mixing crime drama with a strong family element.
By main cast member do we mean at one point in the opening credits?
For One Day At A Time I can give you
Valerie
Mack
Michael Lembeck
Boyd Gaines
Glenn Scarpelli
Mary Louise Wilson
Ron Rifkin
Shelley Fabares
Hope I’m not forgetting anyone.
