OT: A-Z list of celebs aged 90+ Expanded! Annotated! Over 600 names!

[That Derek]

While compiling this list, I used for a framework: A) Lenona’s List of Oldest Writers; B) Lenona’s List of Oldest Film People; C) David Carson’s List of Celebrities over 90; D) The genarians.com website which lists nonagenarians and centenarians; E) Wikipedia; and F) IMDb. Ms. Lenona and Mr. Carson have my eternal gratitude for laying down the groundwork. However, I gave up the ghost regarding the German actress who disappeared after 1943.

Please note that when it came to IMDb (and to a lesser extent, Wikipedia), I included personages with
“open-ended” birthdates. Some of the film/TV industry people might have already gone “on-list” and the news was never reported to IMDb. For example, my pal Bobby Ramsen, a comedian/comic actor of the Catskills/Borscht Belt/Friars’ Club variety, died a few years ago – but he’s still alive with an open-ended birthdate according to IMDb.

Similarly, TV composer Dean Elliott, known for his work on Chuck Jones animated specials, is still alive per IMDb, but died on an unspecified date in 1999 according to Wikipedia.

Also, I Derek-ified my litany by excluding Genarian’s cluster of Nobel Laureate physicists and economists and infusing more comic book artists and B-movie actors/actresses herein – the type of folks I would include in my “Showbituaries.”

By no means is this list absolute nor comprehensive. There are over 600 names here … Enjoy!
