"It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (last man standing)

[News]

The last man standing as a main character in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad
World" (Nov. 7, 1963).

It's Mickey Rooney ('Dingy Bell') at 93, the last living main participant in
the race for the 350 G's.

Sid Caesar died earlier today.
Jonathan Winters died in April 2013.


Not counting Marvin Kaplan ('Irwin', the garage man) at 87.
As does Carl Reiner (airport tower controller) at 91.
As does Stan Freberg at 87, as a deputy sheriff.
As does Jerry Lewis, at 87, the man who as the driver of the car runs over
Capt. Culpepper's hat in a fit of opportunity to have a little fun.

The little boy (Eddie, the miner's son) who hilariously misdirects 'Otto
Meyer' (Phil Silvers) whose car with him aboard, floats down the stream, is
on-topic. Eddie Rosson. He was only 38, dying on Sept. 19, 1994.
If I missed anyone else, post a reply.

Barrie Chase?

[That Derek]

According to IMdB, Nicholas Georgiade is still alive. He played one of the two detectives at the scene of Jimmy Durante/Smiler Grogan's death at the film's beginning (the other was played by Norman Fell).

Is Louise Glenn, who played the telephone voice of Spencer Tracy's daughter Billie Sue Culpepper, still living? IMdb doesn't seem to have anything on her beyond "... Mad World" and a couple of other contemporaneous credits.

I also show John Clarke, uncredited in IAMMMMW as a helicopter pilot, and a
sometime cast member on "Days of Our Lives" as Mickey Horton, still living....r

In early 2011 Mickey Roonet testified in Congress
about his belief he had experience elder abuse.

Don't know about her.
But I caught another living actor from that film!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Georgiade
Nicholas Georgiade, now 80, who was one of the detectives who went down
the place where 'Smiler Grogan' "sailed right out there" along with the main
characters.

Was he the one who spied on Don Knotts and Phil Silvers when 'Otto
Meyer' (Silvers) was telling Knotts some wild story?

Not sure...IMDb also doesn't list the African-American actress in the
loaded-down car with Nick "Lightnin'" Stewart when they get run off the
road...anybody?...

(If you can identify her, I'll let you try to name the adorable actress in "Duck
Soup" who comes to the stateroom looking for her Aunt Minnie)....r

The Unknown Actress!

Um, nobody!
That's because the film with the famous stateroom scene was "A
Night at the Opera" (1935), not "Duck Soup" (1933).
A rare error from the doctah!
I don't know who the adorable actress was, but I remember the
'Aunt Minnie' line!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026778/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

Do you believe it was Bess Flowers, who was 37 then? (see below
for where she later appeared!)

BTW, the ship's officer (uncredited) was Stanley Blystone, who had
seven memorable appearances in Three Stooges shorts.
(how he got in their shorts I don't know!)
["False Alarms", Half-Shot Shooters", "Spook Louder", "Back
from the Front" "Three Little Twirps" with Curly, and "Out West" with Shemp
in '47] He had a rough, gruff menacing voice, with a mustache. You can't
miss him!

I don't think so...she looks a lot younger than 37....r

So, you don't know, either!

[R H Draney]

No, I don't...that's why I'd very much like someone to solve this long-standing
mystery....r

Thanks for that...I see Google Groups is now offering people the chance to
respond to posts only nine months old instead of nineteen years....

Still nothing on the "Night at the Opera" actress looking for her aunt Minnie,
though....r

[DeadBeat]

Regarding the actress looking for her Aunt Minnie in "A Night at the Opera", maybe Lorraine Bridges?

How did Eddie Rosson die?

[YouDummy]

A post on IMDB attributes it to liver failure.

[charlie.n...@gmail.com]

Just watched Cool Hand Luke and thought that 'Opie' played Luke's nephew as his face is only visible for a second. Not RH, it was indeed the late Eddie Rosson.
