89:
Maggie Smith
Alan Bennett

[phantasmagoriana]

Some of them are only 89!

[Mr Larrington]

Wot, no

Philip Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (10 June 1921) Casual racist

[Chris S]

Is it wrong to run your finger down the list saying "Thought you were dead... Definitely thought you were dead... Actually I think you are dead..."?

[Hilldodger]

Could have mentioned my father 06/06/1925.

[FifeingEejit]

Chuck Yeager (1923), US test pilot

Just skim read his Wikiteaevia page, how he got beyond 1/3 of his age...

[hubner]

I only wanted to include people known for some measure of public acheivement/talent and not just for being themselves or for their age.

So no royalty or random old people.

Yes some are 89 but in a few months they'll be 90.

[geraldc]

I saw Lionel Blair in there, and thought about the decades of abuse he's had from isihac and smiled, then I remembered Tim Brooke Taylor was one of the first to die from covid in the UK and was sad.

[Pingu]

Jimmy Carter

[Legs]

Wot, no

Philip Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (10 June 1921) Casual racist

You are a Deathlist devotee AICMFP. 

[hubner]

Wot, no

Philip Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (10 June 1921) Casual racist

You are a Deathlist devotee AICMFP. 

Out of that list, I think I only really missed including Leslie Phillips (1924).

Pierre Cardin (1922) is more of a famous brand name rather than a public figure.

All the rest are too young, or are politicans.

[Zipperhead]

Pierre Cardin (1922) is more of a famous brand name rather than a public figure.

And also the owner of the Marquis de Sade's castle in provence. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

You'll smack yourself if you don't go.

[Wowbagger]

I signed a 90th birthday card to Cleo Lane when Digby Fairweather thrust it under my nose when I visited the National Jazz Centre - clearly about 3 years ago.

[Pingu]

[Snakehips]

I'm surprised that the altogether remarkable Robert Marchand is not on the list, and has not , until now, received a mention. Is he just too old to be included?

[hubner]

Who he?

Would not be included because nobody would have heard of him if it wasn't for his age.

[LittleWheelsandBig]

100+ year old cyclist, not really ‘arts and entertainment’.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Marchand_(cyclist)

Ditto for others that aren’t in the OP.

[Snakehips]

I regard cycling as a form of performance art, and all of us, the cyclists, are the artists.

[Cudzoziemiec]

Sometimes it's tragedy, sometimes it's comedy, but mostly it's melodrama.

[Pedal Castro]

Peter H rang me today to ask me to help him make sure his CTT and VTTA accounts are linked so that any age records he gets next year are in the system. He'll be 91 next season! 

[rob]

Ooh.   Are you an expert on that stuff ?   I might need to drop you a line.

[hubner]

I would class cycle sport and sports in general under entertainment.

Sidney Poitier (1927)  added to list.

[Pingu]

Peter Alliss didn't quite make it.

[hubner]

Stephen Sondheim (22 March 1930) added.
Chuck Yeagar crossed out.

[Peter]

What a gruesome business!
