Sean Connery. Hasn’t been on camera in forever, but the original Bond and Dr. Henry Jones is still here and kicking.

I warned you people!

I’m not. But like I said on the Connery thread, knew I was asking for it.

A "how are these people still alive?" thread seems...a touch inappropriate?

With a tough year losing quite a few baseball legends, both Willie Mays and Hank Aaron are still hanging tough

Dame Angela Lansbury.

She turned 95 last month, and was still working on stage right up until the outbreak earlier this year.

 Wow, I was just reading about Angela's big coup behind the scenes on Murder She Wrote before you posted this.

Considering the title is about being pleasantly surprised it seems more like a celebration of long life, rather than "why won't they die already".

I was legitimately surprised to see him in Greenleaf. 86 years young and still active.

"people you're pleasantly surprised aren't dead yet". It's the same thing. Assuming they're dead.

I remember seeing this thread before, and thought it was nice.

A couple days ago, I started a thread talking about Wings. Curious, I googled the show, and damn, they recently had a where are they now article celebrating 20 years since it ended.

I am pleasantly surprised to find the woman who played Fay and the guy who played Roy are still alive.

Also, today is Angela Lansbury’s birthday. Someone posted a video of pushing up roses and that led me down a rabbit hole of “that time on murder she wrote”

David Schram passed away in March.
