Quite a roster, Lenona; evidence of what we all know--women live longer
than men.

Appreciate your considerable toil in compiling all this.

I could have sworn that, a few years ago, the IMDb said Ladd was born in
1932...

But I suppose they have to change their info as often as Wikipedia
presumably does.

I see IMDb now says 1935 for her and has a bio lede that
could have been written by her press agent.

I messed up - again!

Forgot to erase M.T. Vasudevan Nair and Peter Marshall from the short
list, somehow.

A wonderful list as always, but any sources I've seen for Greg Mullavey
have him born in 1939 not 1933 (IMDB, Wikipedia).

The culprit (in 2023) was very likely genarians.com, but when I looked
just now under 1933, there was no longer any sign of his name.
