Having belatedly learned of the death of Bruno Latour and Jean-Luc Nancy, I checked up on big names in French Philosophy and many I figured were gone are still here - most surprisingly Luce Irigiray at 93 and Helene Cixous at 86 (I thought both had died decades ago)

Also the painter Alex Katz (who I knew was old and living, but wasn’t sure he was ~still~ living) is in fact alive at 96

"Bones" Howe... I mean I suppose he's not that famous but he is still alive.
