Not quite the thread title, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Leslie Uggams in a key role in American Fiction. I hadn't thought about her in decades--looking at her IMDB page, she's worked steadily, but I hadn't seen her in anything since The Cosby Show. She was someone I was aware of as a kid in the late '60s; my parents must have had an album or two around the house.

I'm sure Tom Lehrer has already been in this thread, but can there be anyone else still alive who recorded their last studio album in the 1950s?

Mr. Sly Stone in fact did not die sometime in the early 80s.
It's yet to be seen if he dies in his early 80s.

Stanley's biography was great, might actually read it again. Very gossipy in places and outs at least one other actor.
