He's 80 now, and until I looked him up I would have given 50/50 odds on whether I had heard he died.

In a similar vein, she's already been mentioned a couple times ITT, but I was surprised to see Nancy Sinatra posting on threads about the Beyoncé albums.

I was surprised when I found out that Robert Johnson's stepsister, Annye Anderson, is still alive (she put out a book about him in 2020). I would have guessed that everyone who knew him was long gone by now.

Jim Rosenthal. Not actually *that* old (76). Just thought he was dead.
In November 2019, Rosenthal became the new "Voice of JACK", replacing and following the death of actor Paul Darrow as the new on-air voice of Oxfordshire's local JACK branded radio stations and their national radio station Union JACK.[19] He is the lead presenter of matchday coverage on Manchester United's in-house channel MUTV and is one of the presenters of Amazon Prime's Premier League coverage.

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.

Mr. Sly Stone in fact did not die sometime in the early 80s.
