Default Late 1970’s CBS. How many people can you identify?

Warning—LOTS of people to identify in the video. Moves fairly quickly too

Several familiar faces here including Bonnie Franklin looking very pretty around the 1:40 mark. Hot damn honey!

I was trying to find a huge group picture of about two to three hundred people who were CBS stars or players in the late 1970's. The group was in a triangle and Mary Tyler Moore was in front (of course this hottie was in front). Jean Stapleton was off to the left, and left of her was Lassie.

The picture was in, maybe 1978 or so? Demond Wilson was in it because of "Baby, I'm Back", but there are numerous legends in that including Lucy Ball.

I have tried to find the picture online, does anyone have it and can post it? It is interesting to see how many people are still alive (not many, the photo is 45 years old).

Question

Most of them were very easy to identify, but the man and woman just after Bob Keeshan I'm not sure about. Something tells me I should know who they are.

She was even in the preview photo, which is what caught my attention in the first place. I thought you know who might also be in there. But you know who wasn’t in there.

I'm assuming that when you said "you know who", you were referring to Valerie B. Maybe she didn't appear in this CBS special from years ago.

I can't ID the lady in the video, but next to her is Danny Kaye.

Really sad that so many of these stars are no longer with us. Here's the photo being referenced, with thanks to Yong Fang & Alan Brady's Hair:

From the picture above, who is still alive? A few are unknown to me but since they are young will type (the young man?) and then you can tell me who they are and still alive..
_______________________________________________________________________

Back row left to front...

Back Row:
Dick Van Dyke (more than likely the oldest one still alive)
Rob Reiner
(The lady next to Reiner?)
John Amos
Bob Barker (who will never die)
Dan Rather (is the guy next to Rather, Richard Crenna?, if he is, he died)

Second Back Row
Michael Learned
Carol Burnett
Loretta Swit
Lee Meriwether
Demond Wilson
Lynda Carter

Third Row
Richard Smothers (since his first name would be bleeped here)
Ron Howard
(The woman right of Valarie Harper?)
(The kid left of Bill Macy?)

Fourth Row down
(The lady to the left of Bob Denver?)
(The man to the right of Carrol O'Connor?)
(The lady to the right of Will Geer?)
Bob fking Newhart (another immortal)

Fifth Row
Jamie Farr
Adrian Barbeau
Vicki Lawrence
(The young lady between Vicki and Don Knotts?)

Sixth Row
Sally Struthers
Linda Lavin (lookin' good Alice)

Seventh Row
(The two kids from The Waltons)

Eight Row
All passed away.

Below
(The lady above left of Vivian Vance?)
(The lady to the right of George Burns?)

Out of 100 of them, 19 are confirmed alive, and 9 who I do not know who were young then and are more than likely alive now.

That's Julie Kavner. In the still photo, she's next to Valerie Harper, third row from the top.

The link I provided above has an answer key to the still photo.

I’m sure the lady to the right of George Burns is Cicely Tyson.

Let’s just pray he doesn’t die during the holidays like Betty White.
