>>Curiously, of the five main leads in that film, all but one are still alive today<<
Wow, that is a GREAT stat! Sort of like The Dick Van Dyke Show — all the major stars are alive, but we miss Millie and Jerry (a great director).
I saw Rita Moreno in a new TV show the other day. Hubba hubba, that woman has beauty that transcends time!
Actually, Millie (Ann Morgan Guilbert) is still alive. Only Morey Amsterdam of the main 5 has passed. Jerry Paris (as you cited) and Richard Deacon of the supporting cast have passed on. Carl Reiner, the creator and who played Alan Brady, is still with us.
Somewhat similar to Mary Tyler Moore’s Show. 43 years after its premiere and all are alive except for the great Ted Knight (although barring a miracle, Valerie Harper will probably pass this year).
Sadly, Morey Amsterdam passed away in 1996.
