Gone with the Wind
1939
Olivia de Havilland (b. July 1, 1916), a bona fide movie star, is not only the sole surviving major cast member from one of the most celebrated epics of all time, she's one of the very last survivors among even the film's many extras.
Following a spate of deaths of nonagenarians connected to the movie in the past decade, only Mickey Kuhn (b. September 21, 1932), a child actor who played “Beau,” and both Greg Giese (b. 1938), who played both “Scarlett”'s and “Melanie”'s babies, and Patrick Curtis (b. 1938), who played “Melanie”'s baby (uncredited) remain with Ms. de Havilland as proven participants. Shep Houghton, one of the last people alive to have appeared in a silent movie, was an uncredited southern dandy in the film, but he does not appear to be accepted as a genuine participant by GWTW historians.
