Super Bowl I MVP Bart Starr
I've mentioned this before but even crazier is that the two head coaches from Super Bowl VII (1974) are still alive: Bud Grant and Don Shula, 89 and 87 respectively

Bobby Vinton.
I was at a quiz the other night, we were asked a question about a singer who died last year to which the answer was Bobby Vee. Subsequently got in discussion about Bobby Vinton & Bobby Vee, friend insisted both were dead. Finally decided to look it up tonight to clarify - I also sort of thought Bobby Vinton had died years ago and assumed Blue Velvet's revival was some sort of tribute, but turns out it was in an advert for Nivea.
Anyway, aye, he's 81. And not dead.

Modestly famous I guess, but the production team of Bernie Orenstein and Saul Turteltaub. They wrote a bunch of episodes of That Girl and later produced the last three seasons of Sanford and Son.
86 and 84 respectively.

Not "famous" but that article going around about the passing of one of the co-founders at Waffle House at 99, where the other co-founder, also 99, is still alive, blew my mind. I mean that's the kind thing where if you'd asked me I'd have figured they'd have passed away in like 1983.
