the lone survivor....
of Hollywood's Golden Age.
shareThere are a few others still living but with Kirk's death, Olivia is probably the last remaining superstar of the era. It will be a sad day when she passes and that era is truly over.

What a legend. What an indelible image she leaves on the minds of all movie lovers. Try to watch one of her movies today and remember her.
shareI disagree. There are others left like Eva Marie Saint, Sidney Poitier, Rhonda Fleming, Cicely Tyson, Don Murray, Russ Tamblyn, Norman Lloyd, Dean Stockwell, and fuck me Angela Lansbury!
shareKim Novack and Betty White are still with us.
shareYeah, but most of those names are from the fifties or later.
This is a morbid little page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_living_actors_from_the_Golden_Age_of_Hollywood . I recognize some names from the thirties but I think only Marge Champion could be called a star and she appears in 1939.
Norman Lloyd is somewhat familiar to me because of his work with Hitchcock and his role on St. Elsewhere. His stage career goes back to the early 30's but even his earliest films date back to the 40's. Olivia really was something else in that regard.
shareYes, I recognized his name, also Nehemiah Persoff. But as character actors at a later date. Then again this thread doesn't specify 'surviving stars' so perhaps I'm being too picky.
Incredible. Mildred Kornman stared in The Nickel-Hopper in 1926 when she was 1 year old and she is still around. Looks like she has the record of earliest still living film star: her "career" spans 94 (!) years!
