First person that comes to mind for me is Mel Brooks. He was ancient when he made Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs and its been 30+ years on both. How is he not dead already? John Madden is another person that comes to mind because when he was hired in 1967 to coach the Raiders, he was 36. That means he's pushing 88 right now and while I miss him on TV as the color commentator, you'd think he would have kicked the bucket as well. I mean his brother in arms in Pat Summerall passed away before he did and he's not much older than Madden. Finally there's George Lucas who's now 74(yes 74) and has had Heart issues in the past. How he hasn't kicked the bucket yet I'll never know.

Three things will happen to the above people though:

1) Spaceballs parody for Mel Brooks when he kicks the bucket
2) NFL will honor Madden with something since you can argue he helped make Electronic Arts a staple in the Gaming Industry. Perhaps renaming the Coach of the Year award after him?
3) There will be a Stormtrooper Military parade when Lucas dies. Mark my words, it will happen.

I was surprised that John McCain's mother was still alive, she has survived an 81 year old son. She has also outlived our former first ladies Barbara Bush and Nancy Reagan, who passed away at ages 92 and 94 respectively. Mrs Roberta McCain is 107 years old, and looks very good for her age.

there's a guy at work who's had like multiple open-heart surgeries or something and is in his 80s who I wonder how he's still alive doing this job

like, the question isn't "when is he going to retire" but more "when am I going to find him dead at work"

But this comes to mind too. Roberta McCain is legit older than the state her son was a senator for by like a week

you know what's absolutely nuts

she is LITERALLY older than arizona
Here's another noteworthy person that I'm surprised is still living: Doc Severinsen, who led the NBC Orchestra on Johnny Carson's edition of The Tonight Show from 1967 until Carson's retirement in May 1992 (though he started on The Tonight Show when Carson began hosting in October 1962 - at that point, the band was under the direction of Skitch Henderson).

Ozzy and Keith aren't old by comparison but you'd think their lifestyles would have caught up to them.
Jimmy Carter is 94, its amazing he's pretty healthy after brain cancer.

Please @god take him out already. We can only hope.

Take him and give Betty White five more years of life. Also Kirk Douglas surprises me how is he 102 and still kicking it.

I was surprised to hear that Mary Ward (an Australian actress who appeared in Prisoner: Cell Block H from 1979 - 1981) is still alive, especially since she was an older cast member at the time and the fact that she was always around smokers.

I'm glad she's still alive, though.

Another person that I'm mildly surprised is still going is Sean Connery. Most of the old Bond actors and actresses have long since passed on but he's still going. His best role, to me, was him in "The Longest Day" with the line: "Takes an Irishman to play the pipes". lmao

Noam Chomsky. I really don’t get 20th century health sometimes, given some of the people from his generation often lived only into their 60s. George Carlin only made it to 71, and come to think of it Prince Philip and Her Majesty the Queen also come to mind as exceptional.

I hope people have more consistent life expectancies in the future, along with the general increase we’ll see.
