sherman hemsley. when he died i experienced deja vu. i could have sworn that he died several years earlier and even had faint memories of reading his obituaries.

Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland, currently at ages 94 and 95, respectively.
Was gonna say OdH but I didn't realize her sister was still around too! Guess they're each determined to outlive the other.

When Joan Fontaine died, there was a lot of talk about O. de H., because they had been so bitterly separated for so many years. (And I'm morbidly curious to see what TCM does when the last major Gone With the Wind star finally dies.
In the meantime, I am pleasantly surprised that Diana Serra Cary (Baby Peggy), Luise Rainer, and Kenneth Anger are still with us. But in all of these cases, it's just a matter of time.

wish i could find a clip of whatever TV show Tony Soper used to present that had really evocative birdsong played over the end credits, think it may have been a curlew call in particular

Chris Rea is alive! (also, he isn't Robert Palmer) (yeah, I know, there's nothing similar to them, but he somehow was, in my mind)

Fool if you think he's over, because he's only just begun
(this post brought to you by Predictable Dad Jokes About Dad Music Incorporated)(when I was 13 Chris Rea was dad music and every dad ever by law had "Road To Hell", "Auberge" and a Dire Straits album but he's not even that any more, right, everything I like is dad music instead, I know)
