1944
The sole survivor of the film debut of Lauren Bacall (b. September 16, 1924) 70 years ago? Bacall herself. Turning 90 this year, Bacall still gets around—I sorta met her at a performance of Gore Vidal's The Best Man on Broadway, where the only thing she said to me was NO.
Uncredited players with no death dates include Audrey Armstrong, James Burross, Louise Clark, Fred Dosch, Elzie Emanuel, Janette Grae, Margaret Hathaway, Frank Johnson, Hal Kelly, Keith Lawrence, Gussie Morris, Jack Passin, Margaret Savage, Milton Shockley, Emmett Smith, Roger Valmy and Jack Winslowe. Considering the film was released 70 years ago, these people would have to have been, in all likelihood, 30 or under at the time of filming; many seem to have one or two credits and are probably impossible to trace more than they are likely to be breathing.
