"Chilled actors" Well that was a slip that fits the topic. LOL
Tim D. - Marsha Hunt IS on the list, above #9, Jane Powell also at # 84. Mary Anderson passed away on 4/6/2014, same day as Mickey Rooney, 3 days after her 96th birthday. Some of the child actors are not eligible for this list (born in 1940s), need to be born 1931 or before.

Clint Walker (5/30/1927), big, brawny, burly beauty of an actor, in long-running Western TV series, "Cheyenne."

Petula Clark born 11/15/32 Finian's Rainbow(1968), Goodbye Mr Chips(1969),and 25 films in England including London Town ,I know where I'm going,and Vice Versa(directed by Peter Ustinov)
"please update this site I type in may 28, 14 oldest living comic, actors who are still living and you have people who have passed here. This site needs more attention"
r - could you clarify/translate what your paragraph means?
I'm surprised that Olivia de Havilland and Kirk Douglas are only only about five months apart in age. While both are from the classic period they seem to be from different eras within that. Olivia's main stardom was the 30's and 40's while Kirk ascended in the 50's and stayed in the star spot well into the early 80's.
I know it is stated that this is not a complete list but how about Jayne Meadows?
Claudia Barrett (11/03/1929), busty lead in "Robot Monster" (1953), many TV credits.
Roy Dotrice, from the movie Amadeus, is 91, still alive.
Oh, #5 died yesterday.

How about Clint Walker May 30, 1927.
Two more who should really be included, both of whom were in the film Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in 1957:
Earl Holliman (born September 11, 1928; Forbidden Planet, Bridges at Toki-Ri, Last Train From Gun Hill, The Sons of Katie Elder, The Rainmaker, the very first Twilight Zone, Police Woman, Nightman)
and in addition to the other reasons he deserves to be listed, the other actor I would include is likely the last one born to meet eligibility:
Martin Milner (born December 28, 1931; Adam-12, Sands of Iwo Jima, Mister Roberts, Sweet Smell of Success, Robocop The Series, Irwin Allen's Production of Flood! and Irwin's series The Swiss Family Robinson)
You really want to know something, these legends live forever
Sadly, since the list was last updated we've lost Eli Wallach, Elaine Stritch, and James Garner.
Standup comic Professor Irwin Corey is 100!!
Formerly too young for the list (original birthday was listed as 6/17/1933), but family members state it was really 6/17/1929 : the wonderful, esteemed actor James Shigeta passed yesterday at age 85.
Per http://www.briansdriveintheater.com/johngavin.html, Psycho hunk John Gavin's birthday is really 4/08/1928, not 4/08/1931, so in the next version he can be added to the list!
Pretty perky Peggy King, born Feb. 16, 1930.
