Deneuve was born in 1943, Belmondo in 1933. Both too young for this list.

[Guilty Bastard]

what is the min age, 90?

[Dug]

Angie Dickinson will soon be on this list. Sept 30, 1931

Yes. Much easier that way.

No thanks. Aside from a very few occasions on TV shows, the only time he played a fictional character on film was in the 1966 movie "The Oscar."

The rest of the time, on film and TV, he always played himself. He's not a film composer, after all.

[Dug]

I was thinking Tony Bennett might be considered for the misc list, but its your list so your criteria will be used.

[Lenona]

If he WERE a film composer, I would have put him under Miscellaneous, yes.

[ron carmello]

[Louis Epstein]

Deneuve's mother is on the list...as "Renee Simonot",though her actual
birth name is Deneuve which her daughter used professionally with the
mother's-maiden-name derivation.

If the mother's age is properly documented she could soon be on MY list
(of age-110+ people).

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

[Lenona]

How embarrassing - somehow, I forgot to include director Jean-Luc Godard, right after Robert Carl Cohen, in 1930! (I made the same mistake in January.)

And there should have been three. I thought Rosa Rosal was born in 1931, in the Philippines, but the IMDb says 1928. One movie of hers was the 1959 "Blessings of the Land."

How is her name listed on her tombstone? She died last week.

Gerda Klein is now 97.

That Oscar-winning documentary short (really from 1995, I found out) was based on her 1957 memoir All But My Life.

To Gen Xers, she's better known as the writer of The Blue Rose, about a real girl who's maybe autistic.

And, you can see and hear that book right here!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uZxjNfbZfGQ

It's under 8 minutes. The book was published in 1974. For some reason, when you try to find the text on other websites, the pages get listed out of order and/or some get omitted - but not in the video, thankfully.

And this is about a reprint of the book, in 2008:

https://buffalonews.com/news/a-kenmore-tale-aids-charity-holocaust-authors-touching-childrens-story-being-retold/article_6f208d7e-3bd4-5881-b060-9ed975d09210.html

(Kenmore is in New York State.)

The article implies that Jenny Innerfield was born in 1962, contrary to another source that says she was born in 1961. For what it's worth, in one photo from the YouTube reading - she's wearing a long dress and it's after the 3:10 mark - there's a clue that strongly suggests the photo was taken in 1970 or later. (Hint: she's holding the clue.) You figure out how old she looks, in that one.
