Tribute To A Few Still Alive!

This past 10 years has seen us lose SO MANY Golden Age celebrities. The next 10 they will probably be all gone :( I know death is inevitable and it's just another part of life, but here are some that have HUNG ON! :)

Maureen O'Hara (1920):

Bea Wain (1917):

Barbara Kent (1906):

Zsa Zsa Gabor (1917, though barely!):

Esther Williams (1921):

Shirley Temple (1928):

Celeste Holm (1917):

Dame Vera Lynn (1917):

Mickey Rooney (1920):

Anne Jeffries (1923):

Ann Blyth (1928):

Olivia d'Havilland (1916):


And the winner is:

Frederica Sagor Maas (1900!!!!!):



I realise this isn't every single Golden Age star still alive. Time restraints prohibit me from naming them ALL! ;) Feel free to add yours to the comments.

  3. Like said above, Debbie Reynolds, there's also Angela Lansbury, but I'm not sure if most of her movies were later than the Golden Age

  7. Thanks for including Maureen! In my estimation, she is one of the most stunning creatures to have ever lived. She is the epitome of everything lovely, womanly and graceful!!! I also love Celeste Holm - great photos!

  10. RIP Barbara Kent Oct 13 2011. She along with Miriam Seegar who passed in January of 2011 both were 103 - the end of the Era
    Barbara was considered the last North American actor still alive to have achieved substantial fame during the silent film era as an adult.
