The Nifty Nineties

Derek Partridge who played Dionyd in Plato's Stepchildren has joined the club! Now 26 members.

Also I am pretty certain that no TOS Actor (with a speaking part) has ever lived to 100.
David Frankham hopefully, God willing, will be the first in 8 months.

Won’t Marc Adams hit the milestone first?

You are 100% correct. Thanks for the heads up.

Sadly, we lost one. R.I.P. to Tom Troupe age 97. His wife of 59(!) years passed age 98 in '23. So together again.

Aw. Bye, Lt. Harold.

I was just coming to share this news. So sad; he was really good (and versatile) in a lot of shows. And yes, he was married to Carole Cook for a very long time. She was a really fun performer! I saw her in a revival of 70, Girls, 70 when she was in her 80s and she was still so full of élan.

Sad to bid farewell to Mr. Troupe.
