Survivor: Hollywood—10 Classic Films' Last Living Actors

From: Boy Culture
Miriam at the height of her hotness
 Double Indemnity 
1944

A film that made both of AFI's Top 100 Films lists (in 1998 and 2007), this noir masterpiece sizzles thanks to Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray, both dead for 20 years. But the sole survivor of the production appears to be Miriam Nelson née Franklin (b. September 21, 1922); IMDb oddly has not figured out that the Miriam Franklin who played Edgar G. Robinson's secretary is dancer and actress Miriam Nelson (she married Gene Nelson).

Nelson is spry at 91, still making public appearances, and published her memoir My Life Dancing with the Stars in 2009.
