I gotta be honest with ya. I thought Karl Malden died years ago. Apparently not. He died today. Producers and directors live longer than actors. Mack Sennett and Billy Wilder both lived and worked past a hundred.
At ninety-seven, Karl was probably the oldest major league movie actor alive. Who's the oldest now?
Mickey Rooney has been around the longest but he was a child star and won't even be ninety until next year. There must be someone older than him around.
Maybe Eli Wallach. I heard he died a couple times but I think that's wrong. If he's alive he's ninety-three.
Art Linkletter was in a couple of movies. Is he really an actor? He's ninety-seven. As old as Karl Malden was.
Kirk Douglas is nominally alive. He's ninety-three.
If Kevin McCarthy is still alive he's ninety-four.
Women live longer than men. You'd think there would be a shitload of old leading ladies around. Not true. The oldest one I could find was Olivia De Havilland. She's only ninety-three.

Gloria Stuart is 99 and still acting.
Yep, Olivia De Havilland is still alive.
So is Kirk Douglas and Eli Wallach.
What i found out is that Harry Morgan (Sherman T. Potter from MASH) is alive. Born in 1915. But his last movie was in 1999.
