The century club.

[Grant]

For the first time (I think), Star Trek has actors over 100 years old.

By my count 3 of them.

Olaf Pooley March 13, 1914---Voyager
Norman Lloyd November 8, 1914----TNG
Ellen Albertini Dow November 16, 1914----TNG

Oldest TOS actor I believe is Jason Wingreen at 94

Oldest DS9 actor is Booth Colman at 91

Oldest Trek movie guest is Christopher Plummer at 84

Oldest Enterprise actor Bill Cobbs at 81

Oldest ever Trek regular Doohan died at 85

Oldest living Trek regular is Grace Lee Whitney at 84 or if you don't consider her a regular Shatner at 83

long live them all

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.

okay, I have found from another thread that states Viola Kates Stimpson is the oldest EVER Trek actor, having lived to 101 years 2 and 1/2 months before passing on!

So Olaf Pooley will have to hang on for 6 more months if he wants the title!

She didn't appear in many episodes, but she's "regular" enough for me.

 

[Grant]

She was regular for me too when I was 14!

I'm confident that Sir Patrick Stewart will live to be a hundred, at least! But will he still have all his marbles, by then? I guess we'll see ...

 

[Finn]

^I'll bet when he's 100, he'd look younger than Wil Wheaton.

 

[Push The Button]

Rand was as much a regular cast member on TOS as Henry Blake was on MASH, in my opinion.

Shatner keeps working, even at 83, because he believes it is what is keeping him vital and alive, to which I say good for him, and I hope he's around and with us for Trek's 75th anniversary.

Huh, the things you learn on Trek BBS.

The ShatMeister is only 4 days older than Nimoy

I can see a "Jefferson/Addams" moment in the future:

"The SceneHog still survives"
"FanMailBoy" still survives"

Ah, The Rivalry...

Ain't that the truth.

Shatner: "Is it the 8th?"
Nimoy: "Shatner Survives"
Takei: "Oh, my"

Stewart: Make it so…

Mulgrew: Do it…


Okay, I'm terrible

Felix Locher, the prematurely aged guy at the beginning of "The Deadly Years" had been born in 1882. The 1940s serial hero Jon Hall was his son.

 

[Sir Rhosis]

And Lloyd appears in a film slated for release in 2015!

 

[The Four Doctor]

Ellen Albertini Dow has died. Olaf Pooley is now the oldest surviving actor for both Star Trek and Doctor Who.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

^ Aww that's sad She was the old lady (Rosie) in The Wedding Singer.

 

[137th Gebirg]

And now most recently Grace Lee Whitney.

 

[t_smitts]

Scouring through the "early history" page on Memory Alpha, it appears that the oldest living female performer, and third-oldest living, after Olaf Pooley and Norman Lloyd, is Marsha Hunt, born October 17, 1917, who played Anne Jameson in "Too Short a Season"

 

[The Four Doctor]

Dow was the oldest-living (as well as the longest-lived) STAR TREK actor, having appeared in the TNG episode "Sub Rosa" as Beverly Crusher's late grandmother Felisa Howard. That title now falls to Olaf Pooley, who is also the oldest-living DOCTOR WHO actor at 101; he is four months younger than Dow was.

She was also the oldest-living TWILIGHT ZONE actor, having appeared in two installments of the 1980s revival series ("The Storyteller" and "Need to Know"). Now the oldest-living TWILIGHT ZONE actor is Norman Lloyd, who turned 100 last November. (He is also now the second-oldest-living STAR TREK actor...)

It's interesting that she was about 20 years younger, at the time of filming, than Felisa Howard was supposed to be, yet she DID live about as long.

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

I think there was something in the water on each Star Trek set because almost everyone who appeared on it has lived a very long life.
