The Nifty Nineties

Today Rex Holman joined the nifty nineties club. He apeared as Morgan Earp in Spectre and his last acting role was in Star Trek V.

 

Actually Memory Alpha shows that John (Kyle) Winston is 91 and that Jack (Tal) Donner just turned 90, 3 weeks ago.
That makes 16 members of the club.

I'm surprised that Winston is that old!

 

What the HELL kind of comment is that?

 

That's only 5 years of the red bird

 

The deaths of Robert Phillips and Morgan Woodward have brought the club down to 14 -- but if the great Michael Forest can hang on for 6 weeks he will join the club!!

 

The great Michael Forest joined the club on April 17. Long live Apollo!

That's 15 in the club. Patrick Horgan (Eneg -- "Patterns..") will join on May 26 god willing.

 

So a couple of updates....

Sadly we lost Donner and Hurst, but the list of the venerable elders was increased with the addition of Patrick Horgan. There won't be any new members until well into 2020 so I hope the others hang on and we can get up to 15 members again.

 

The Shat himself will join in 2021!!!

List is sadly down to 13 with the loss of Steve Marlo at age 92. And once again no one will be joining until well into 2020 so I fear we may lose more before then. But it looks like the folks on this list took good care of themselves and hopefully had great lives after retirement.

The members lost from this list since the first post on Sept. 1, 2017 are --
Steve Marlo
David Hurst
Jack Donner
Robert Phillips
Morgan Woodward
Ned Romero
Harry Landers.

 

The living members of this thread haven't been updated in over a year so in case anybody is interested...
the living original series actors aged 90 and older are

Bob Herron 96 years old
John Copage 96
Marc Grady Adams 95
David Frankham 95
Robert Brown 94
William Smithers 93
Tom Troupe 92
Rex Holman 92
William Blackburn 92
Michael Forest 92
Naomi Pollack 90
John Wheeler 90
William Sargent 90
William Shatner 90

 

Very interested. Thanks for tracking this!

 

I just remembered that this thread's title is the same as one of the rare Mickey Mouse cartoons where he was drawn with dimensional ears and not flat circles that rolled around his head.

 

An impressive list to say the least. I thought William Sargent had died years back though...?

In 7 days......

 

Couple more names added to the list.

 

It's weird to think of William Shatner as 90. In comparison, watching Kirk complaining about getting "old" in the Star Trek movies looks silly now.

 

I thought it was off, if not silly, in 1982. Shatner was against it, he felt like Kirk was still in his prime, but Meyer insisted on the Kirk midlife crisis.

 

William Blackburn added to the list!
16 on the list. I advise all these Old-Timers to watch their step. Literally. Because the number of elderly folks who die in Falls is tremendous.

 

Michael Forest is now 92, not 91.
