Gunga Din
1939
It was a very good year for memorable films, 1939—this war picture starring Cary Grant, Joan Fontaine and Victor McLaglen boasted a living lead until Fontaine's recent death. Now, it appears that only Fay McKenzie (b. February 19, 1918) survives. McKenzie, one of the last remaining people to have appeared in silent films, also had a career in genre pictures. In Gunga Din, she was merely an extra in a party scene—for no credit.
Bryant Fryer, Audrey Manners and Bruce Wyndham are listed with no death dates on IMDb, but all were playing adults of 20+, based on their roles' descriptions, so they'd have to be near or over 100. David Charpentier is listed as having an uncredited part and as having no death date, but IMDb also thinks he's still working to this day as a production assistant—clearly not.
