Aunt Clara had a good run though. She was BORN in 1883! That was when Chester Arthur was our president and nobody had electricity in their homes yet. In 1883, no homes yet had telephones, radios or even flush toilets.
Yet Marion McDougall was born that year and would go on to co-star in an iconic "modern" television series as Aunt Clara.
Now that's just mind-blowing.
It's a shame about Elizabeth Montgomery however. Growing up as a boy, I fantasized about having somebody like her as a wife (without the evil mother-in-law) but she died so young.
Both Darrin's are dead (both of them Dicks)
Pretty much everybody on that cast is dead. Except for Tabitha. Who I didn't remember all that much.
All of them? Is they?
I play WWII stuff too, documentaries like Battle for Stalingrad.
People enjoy working
Hogan’s Hero’s is on every night from 10-11 on MeTV.
I play it every night.
Oh, it also has it’s own channel on Roku.
Klink, Schultz, Burkhalter and Hochstetter were Jewish, as is LeBeau. LeBeau was in a SS concentration camp.
And an actor named Kenneth Washington who was added in the final year.
The 1960s were different, for sure!
Those of us that a reason to go from our building to the Executive bldg. on the last day before Xmas shutdown were stopped by the President as we walked past his office. He would tell us to come into his office, where there was a bar with many bottles and ice buckets. He actually poured the drinks for us and would talk with us for about 20 minutes.
In the 1970s, my department (like others) sometimes had offsite conferences/meetings. Each was stocked with plenty of booze.
The liquor came from what was referred to as the “company liquor locker”. The standing rule was that if a seal had been broken on a bottle, it could not be returned to the “locker”. Many of us took several bottles home with us.
btw... The company was a major defense contractor.
Rules changed in the 1980s.
Robert Redford - he played a sort of ‘angel of death’ coming to an old woman.
I’ve never seen anyone play a role with absolutely no dialogue like that. She was great in it.
Olivia deHavilland is well over a 100 now. Ironic since of the 4 main leads in Gone With The Wind her character is the only one who dies at the end. In real life she has so far outlived her costars from that movie it’s ridiculous.
The movie Bell Book and Candle (1958) is interesting to watch as a precursor to Bewitched since a number of the elements are there in that movie. Kim Novak plays the lead as a modern day witch.
I forgot about him.
How about we switch over to Gilligan’s Island? That Mrs. Howell. She was something before electricity.

I considered it a big step of maturity in my sense of humor when I realized, many years after regularly watching GI as a child, that Mrs. Howell was very funny.
ZIG for great justice.
Dick York was not gay. He was married to the same woman for 41 years and had several children.
You live across the street from Elizabeth Warren?
Marion McDougall died in 1968.
Liz was a hottie.
That was Susan Hayward.
Yeah that happens. Every member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience is gone. And in an odd bit ELP are guaranteed do die in band name order (Keith died first, then Greg, Carl is still around, but the order is now determined).
Remember in the 80s, Cozy Powell took Carl Palmer's place, and he's gone, too.
