While watching "Giant" tonight on OETA I started wondering about Jane Withers who was in that movie. She was a child star contemporary of Shirley Temple (who is still around also). Jane was 30 when "Giant" was filmed and is now 87.

Here at the age of 9:

I was always aware of Jane Withers.
Yet I would never place her in The Pantheon of Celebrities.

No recent clips of her, however.

I just saw something about stars from old Christmas classics. Maureen O'Hara from Miracle on 34th Street is still alive. 93 I think.

I love 'Giant'. It's the only old timer movie I own on DVD!

She is, indeed now 93. As shown in this video from 2 years ago, she is still a strikingly beautiful woman.

Is Maureen O'Hara related to Catherine O'Hara? Just wondering because they look similar....

Here's a favorite actor still kicking at the age 98.

Wow. Zsa Zsa Gabor . . . 90-Something . . . dang. I read her autobiography many, many years ago.
(no kidding. i really did.)
Seeing her pictured here, somehow reminded me of this tune:

I guess Cher is still alive . . . Proving the restorative power of Botox, I suppose.
(the REAL babe in the Gabor family was Eva. I heard she married a successful NYC attorney and moved to the country.)

Not the country somewhere in Hungary . . . somewhere in the Midwest.

btw:
My all-time, all-around, favorite actor is still with us:

No . . . Not Jack Nicholson. James Garner.
(i wanted to write him a fan letter after he got his ass kicked by some punk on some California highway but the Internet wasn't invented back then and i didn't have his address. =)

PiePie, while most sources give her year of birth as 1917 there is some controversy about that.

It is unclear as to Zsa Zsa's birth year: sources vary from 1917 to 1919.

[QUOTE=PiePie;711636]And Betty White[/QU

Of course it's not a surprise about Betty. She is on TV everywhere you look. The others are not in that kind of spotlight.

Everybody in the world knows Mickey Rooney is alive, he was in a movie a few years ago, I forgot the name of it, some stupid Ben Stiller movie....

I never said he was retired, PiePie. My point was that he isn't constantly in the spotlight like Betty White is. I think if you took a poll more than half would think he was dead. Obviously none of the people discussed so far are completely hiding from the public.

I remember her on the Today Show in the 50's. Can't think of anything
I liked about her afterwards.

I love 'Giant'. It's the only old timer movie I own on DVD!
Same here. A very good movie. I like Rebel Without a Cause, too. Well
written and directed. Nicholas Ray did a good job of herding the cattle,
I mean directing the movie.

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to unless it was an occasional appearance. She was never a regular on the Today Show even though it was offered to her. My main memories of her in the 50's was watching "Life With Elizabeth".

Stan Freberg is still alive!

Kirk Douglas, Olivia De Havilland and Eli Wallach are still living. So is
Hugh Downs.

I could be wrong . . . Yet I think that Don Rickles is still out there.
(the reason that Don was always able to crack-up Johnny Carson is because he always said everything Johnny wanted to say, but couldn't. On account of he, Johnny, was the host. I learned that conducting a home-schooling psychology class back when I was about 10 or 11 and Don was in his prime. It was right around the time that Stan Freberg was getting started in the business and not long before I was introduced to Lenny Bruce . . . on vinyl.= )

It may be only co-incidence, yet apparently Don Rickles looks a lot like Mickey Rooney.
At least after this many orbits of the earth around the sun.
Can you imagine how funny those Judge Hardy movies would have been if Don Rickles had been the childhood star instead of Mickey Rooney?
(watch: that will show up on Youtube or the next incarnation of Mystery Science Theater (4 D Nu Millenium).

I could be wrong . . . Yet I think that Don Rickles is still out there.
I saw him on a You Tube video so he must be alive.

I saw the "Broken Cigarette Box" program. It's the one that Johnny, after
Rickles had subbed, discovered the cigarette box on his desk, the one
he'd tap on with a pencil, was broken. Rickles was taping a program and
Johnny crashed the taping. Rickles, believe it or not, was speechless.
CPO Sharkey was the program.

That's reassuring (about don rickles) . . .
Youtube and The Internets never lies.
(however, I have reservations regarding "the worldwide web(s)")

gotta run . . . my second or third favorite movie is being re-run:
"Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" Nearly every line of dialog is a classic.

Thanks for posting this ljbab728. "Don't be fooled into believing I do magical things" - I loved that.

"How Green Was My Valley" was a true classic. I'll be accused for being sappy, but she was in a TV movie in 1995 called, "The Christmas Box" (based on the book by the same name) with Richard Thomas and I just love it. She's SO good in it. Yes, it's a Hallmark Movie, but it's a heartwarmer. I just looked it up and it's free on IMDB as part of their partnership with Hulu. Bookmark this so when it gets closer to Christmas: The Christmas Box Full Movie - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi3290867481)

This entertainment legend will soon be 95. This is an interview from last year where, for one thing, she talks about being in San Francisco when the Golden Gate Bridge was being built.

A nice tribute by TCM about celebrities we have lost this year. I was surprised about Kevin Cocoran. He was a big child star in my youth and I hadn't heard he had passed.
