Maybe I'll Live Forever:Kirk Douglas, DeHavilland and-

Post by Phillyrich » Mon May 06, 2019 11:01 am

How many major actors from the 1930's and 1940's are still alive?

Hard to believe Olivia DeHavilland (who became a star, when-- c1935 in "Captain Blood"? ) is still with us.
Norman Lloyd must be about 104. Kirk Douglas about 101.

How many others are still above ground?

Just the ones who couldn't afford the casket, but, at last report, most of them had been eaten by worms, birds, and gruesome animals, and the bones have already begun deteriorating... Curious you should ask, though...

Lloyd gets droller with age, Douglas a tad tougher - though brittle, and DeHavilland proved this year in court she's got a pointy hat that she wears sometimes to remain a true witch during many of her hours...

Not forgetting Doris Day, who played opposite Douglas in YOUNG MAN WITH A HORN...

Forgive me for bringing this up, but isn't this like the 65th thread on this topic? (More fun for the moderators, rounding them all up into one long thread . . . )

Olivia de Havilland and Marsha Hunt are the only living stars of the 1930’s since the death of Mary Carlisle.
Fay McKenzie, a popular Western actress of the 1930’s, died last month
