Turns out Kristine Miller and Douglas Dick died in 2015.

And someone claims that Mickey Manners died - but this is mentioned only in Wikipedia and not in the IMDb. Something's wrong here...

Just a little nit-pick, but he needs to be listed as Bert I. Gordon.

Makes sense. No point in confusing him with the long-dead radio personality.

For those unfamiliar with that person, this is amusing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Gordon

Also, from the IMDb, regarding the director:

"Bert I. Gordon, affectionately nicknamed "Mr. B.I.G." by Forrest J. Ackerman, produced, directed, and wrote more than twenty-five Sci/Fi and Horror features, such as The Magic Sword (1962), The Amazing Colossal Man (1957), Village of the Giants (1965), The Cyclops (1957), in addition to comedies such as How to Succeed with Sex (1970). His film, The Food of the Gods (1976), was awarded the Grand Prix du Festival International Du Paris Fantastique 1977."

15 of his 24 rated movies got fewer than 4.5 out of 10 stars from viewers. Oddly, while he hadn't directed a movie since 1989 (that one got fewer than 3 stars), his recent movie, "Secrets of a Psychopath," from 2015, is in the top four!

Also, it seems jazz singer/actor Bill Henderson died in April, 15 days after his 90th birthday - I had him down as "Bob." He was in "City Slickers."

I went through genarians.com again and in six months, I will add seven actresses (plus maybe Cicely Tyson - I thought she was born in the 1930s), ten actors, one director, one producer, and eight miscellaneous types. It's just a little too much work right now; most are people you likely never heard of anyway.

(I have my doubts about including Sheldon Harnick - does anyone really think of TV or movies, per se, when they hear his name?)
