Quick! Who are the top three oldest actors?

**Zacha341** · February-17-14, 06:45 PM

Hint: One of the three [[the oldest I believe) starred in a western opposite a character called "Blondie".

eli wallach?...The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

**Zacha341** · February-18-14, 08:00 AM

Yep! Eli Wallach will be 99 years old December 7th of this year. He was born in 1915. Who's the other two or three oldest?

**Gistok** · February-18-14, 08:50 AM

Well Zsa Zsa Gabor and Olivia di Havilland were both born in 1917. Zsa Zsa had her 97th birthday last week... and Olivia is still alive and kicking in Paris.

I bet Zsa Zsa, would be appalled that someone took this picture of her... had she still had her full faculties....

The grandsons - not great-great-great grandsons - of President John Tyler are still alive. Tyler was born in 1790. not actors, but since this is about old people...

**Zacha341** · February-18-14, 11:26 AM

Umm, actually the thread is about actors. The three or so oldest.

**Zacha341** · February-18-14, 11:31 AM

I forgot about Haviland.

Born December 9, 1916 is Issur Danellovitch Demsky aka Kirk Douglas!

**Zacha341** · February-18-14, 12:23 PM

^^^ Yeah Netflix has The Good, The Bad and The Ugly online for streaming now. Just released it there. It's fun to look at it find the goofs [[planes flying over head etc.)

**old guy** · February-18-14, 02:13 PM

Mickey Rooney is getting up there at 94.

**Pam** · February-19-14, 08:03 AM

If you are talking about people still working, what about Betty White?

**NickCharles** · February-19-14, 08:18 AM

If she is looking for the three eldest males, I believe they have been named.

Betty White, yeah. Gotta love her-- although I wish she would pull away from the "it's funny when ancient broads act all salty" shtick-- and really, I've got to admire her vitality, as she has many decades on me and is way more active than I am.

**Zacha341** · February-19-14, 09:04 AM

Sure, but I was not excluding non working, male or female [[onward beyond the three is cool). It just happens to be that the oldest male actor is Eli Wallach.

Exactly......

**NickCharles** · February-27-14, 07:41 PM

By the time whatever the alleged correct answer is revealed, will any of the people still be alive?

**Zacha341** · February-27-14, 09:33 PM

The top three have been indentified: Kirk Douglass, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Eli Wallach!

You might have to repeat that slowly so everyone gets it.

**Zacha341** · February-28-14, 05:42 AM

Hah! You've got jokes...

...

**Gistok** · March-02-14, 04:48 AM

Am I correct in assuming that this thread has no easy answer?

**Zacha341** · March-02-14, 06:15 AM

Ponderous and perplexing indeed.
