Not dead?
Y'know, every so often you come across an article about some old time star and are surprised momentarily by the fact they're not actually dead.

Here in the states we officially have Abe Vigoda for that.
The eponymous website for him just says whether he's still alive. www.abevigoda.com |

Was watching CBS' Sunday show episode about the 100th anniversary of Paramount Movie Studios.
They said most all of the studio's living actors and actresses attended the celebration. Did I really see Mickey Rooney, or was it an apparition ?

He played old men when he was barely middle aged, so he's appeared to have one foot in the grave for decades now. He has an honorary mention on many Death Lists, more as a kind of mascot rather than because he is having any trouble with his health.
