The Greatest (Still Living) Celebs of Yesteryear

At 104, Connie Sullivan is the most senior person on this Papermag.com list of extreme aged celebrities who are still around. It's remarkable how many of them continued working until quite recently.
Most of these I was aware were still with us but, I must admit, I believed that Stanley Donen had been gone for years.

I saw Miss Sawyer's TCM interview with host Ben Mankiewicz last week and was impressed by how sharp she is for her age:

And she looks terrific!
I should add that I had never before heard of Miss Sawyer until that interview. God bless her.
PS: You accidentally referred to her as Connie Sullivan in your post.

Oops... Thanks for the catch!
I was not familiar with her either, I shall have to look out for the TCM interview. All I can find so far are a couple of interviews on Youtube from a few years back when she was a mere 100 years old!
