Old Stars

[slimjim]

In my office, we're trying to compile a list of any celebrities from the 30s who are still alive today. So far we have Katherine Hepburn, Bob Hope and Micky Rooney (not absolutely certain he's still alive). We're not certain about John Mills (we think he came to fame in the 40s). Can anyone think of others we can add to the list?
