Hoping he will be the first of many! And also hoping someone has told him about his unique distinction today.

Bruce Mars
Bruce Mars (born 23 October 1935; age 89) played Finnegan in the Star Trek: The Original Series first season episode "Shore Leave" and Charley in the second season episode "Assignment: Earth". His acting career was quite short, making a total of three movie appearances and about a dozen...

With the 60 year anniversary coming up, which of the group seem likely to make appearances? Shatner is scheduled for Vegas in August & Derrick Partridge, Julie Newmar, Joan Collins and Nancy Kovak for Hollywood Show in January so far.
May it mean that Bill has a long way to go.
John Wheeler, Actor, Singer Known for ‘Star Trek’ and an Iconic McDonald’s Commercial, Dies at 95
He also appeared in five Broadway musicals, recurred on ‘The Dukes of Hazzard’ and played William Frawley in a TV movie.

He is something else.
I haven’t seen any official confirmation, but a friend of Antoinette Bower posted on social media that she passed away last week.
In a bit of a turnabout -- of the just over 100 still living TOS actors -- the 2nd largest group (tie) played.....REDSHIRTS. 
22 actors who were Starfleet redshirts are alive.
That's tied with all other Starfleet members combined. Larger than actors who played illusions and androids and larger than those who played Federation civilians.
Long live the redshirts!

Darn it! I hate to be wrong but.....
I added them up rather carelessly.
Of the 100 "living" TOS actors (not reported to have died).
The largest group of living actors played....
Aliens 31 (living beings that are not from Earth)
Redshirts 22 (males or females in Starfleet who wore red shirts)
Starfleet 22 (non-redshirts in Starfleet -- who wore blue or gold/green)
Human civilians 18
illusions/projections/robots 7
From memory I thought more of the blue or green/gold actors had worn red shirts and I counted some aliens as human civilians.
As usual, only counting actors who had at least one line of dialogue.

I've looked around and haven't found anything. Do you know anything definite yet?
Sir Rhosis
I'm still trying to figure out how I Mandela Effected her death a decade ago.
Could be. Ann Robinson died last September, and it was only announced last week: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Robinson#Personal_life_and_death
