...are Jack, Wendy & Danny. All the rest of the actors are now true ghosts inside the Overlook.

How is Jack still alive?

He means Jack Nicholson is still alive 🙂

I haven't heard about the creepy twins or the young woman in the tub being dead in real life. I'm sure lots of the actors who participated are still alive. Likely most of the ones who were below 45 or 50 when the movie was made.

The creepy twins (Grady daughters) were played by Lisa and Louise Burns who are still alive and have an Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/the_shining_twins/

The young woman in the bathtub was played by Lia Beldam. According to the comments on this video she passed away last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO2izfssjPc

Thank you for saying daughters and not twins. They are twins in real life. But the characters are not twins. They are 6 and 8 in the book and 8 and 10 in the movie.
