    In that case, we should ask: Is it OK to out you in this thread upon your death, or can we refer to you only by your handle? When I take the dirt nap, I'm fine with being outed.

    What happens if the real Dooley Womack passes first. It might get really confusing.

    Mickey Rooney, 89, is still with us. Apparently, he's been winning his chess match with death for a long, long time.

    Ravi Shankar, 89, better watch his sitar-playing ass too.

    (Yes I have a list of celebrities born in 1920 I'm reading from)

    Holy shit! Dr. No is still with us?

    According to Wikipedia, he's the only surviving villain from the original Connery Bond films.

    "He's" Joseph Wiseman, I should add. SPECTRE's oldest agent at 91.

    Not to threadjack but Richard Belzer, playing John Munch, holds the record I think after appearing on:

    Homicide
    Law and Order
    Law and Order SVU
    Law and Order Trial by Jury
    X-Files
    Simpsons
    The Beat
    The Wire

    There are those who conspiratorially see SPECTRE-like evil lurking around every corner. They probably think Lucas is more evil than Dr. No.

    Of course he's more evil than Dr. No. He's Sandy.

    You have to go earlier than that.

    1910: Luise Rainer and John Wooden
    1911: Mitch Miller
    1912: Art Linkletter
    1914: Jack LaLanne
    1915: Eli Wallach and Les Paul
    1916: Kirk Douglas, Walter Cronkite, and Olivia De Havilland
    1917: Sen. Robert Byrd, Phyllis Diller and Zsa Zsa Gabor
    1918: Don Pardo, Mike Wallace, Dear Abby, Nelson Mandela, Bob Feller, and Billy Graham
    1919: J.D. Salinger, Pete Seeger, and Andy Rooney

    I left out 1913 because all of the celebrities born that year have died already.

    You forgot Olivia de Havilland's younger sister Joan Fontaine (born in 1917), although that's understandable because Olivia has always wanted to forget her too. They've pretty much hated each other since childhood, from what I understand.

    You also forgot Gloria Stuart, born in 1910.
