ymmv for 'famous' but British character actor Arnold Yarrow - most famous to me as Bellal in Death To The Daleks, the Pertwee-era Doctor Who story - is 104 today. He's the oldest living Who-related actor.

Also apparently in Eastenders for a while but he died in 1989.

This isn't really that surprising, because he isn't that old, and he certainly isn't famous but the boy who provided the voice on Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge is still alive. Which makes me happy. His name is Josef Protschka and he was 80 this year.

this reminded me that one of my most vivid music listening experiences was on a train out of Rome listening to Gesang der Jünglinge, so this also makes me happy. Good work, Josef.

He did become an operatic tenor as an adult, he didn't end up as a bus driver or something. That would have been cool though.

Masanori Murakami, turns 80 in a couple of weeks--first Japanese MLB player, pitched for the Giants in '64 and '65. And pitched really well: 90 innings, 65 hits, 100 strikeouts, 23 walks. He was 21 years old. I was mystified, so checked his Wikipedia page; the Japanese commissioner, Yushi Uchimura--Bowie Kuhn's brother, evidently--forced him to return to Japan after the '65 season.

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
