My wife and I were having a conversation a few weeks back on “famous people you wouldn’t think are still alive, but are in fact still alive.”

Claude Levi-Strauss was tops on our list. Others included Olivia De Havilland, Gloria Stuart, John Wooden, and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Olivia's sister Joan Fontaine is also still alive. As are Mitch Miller, Rise Stevens and Art Linkletter.

I was a surprise to me too. 100 years — pretty good run. Let’s hope to do better.

I will have to tune in to Howie Carr to see if any listener correctly predicted Levi-Strauss's failure to "come down for breakfast".

Is George Burnes still alive? I can’t remember.

Not only is Olivia de Havilland still alive, but so is Joan Fonatine, her sister! Both of them are well past 90. There must be something to those de Havilland genes!
