I dunno Strangler, Zsa Zsa is still alive (barely).

I saw that Zsa Zsa was once again rushed to the hospital because her publicity levels had dropped.

But, seriously, making a few bad films doesn't make Zsa Zsa an actress any more than it makes Paris Hilton one.

And in the spirit of my stupid list keeping, I'd like to welcome Alan Arkin to the Top 25 Oldest Living Academy Award Winning Actors List and congratulate Joel Grey, Ellen Burstyn, and Michael Caine on each moving up a spot in that last.

Who's #1?

Luise Rainer at 101.1 years old. And she's way in the lead, 2nd place goes to Olivia de Havilland (94.7) followed by Ernest Borgnine (94.1), Celeste Holm (93.9), and Olivia's sister, Joan Fontaine (93.4).

And for the record, Jennifer Hudson at 29.5 is currently the youngest living Academy Awarding winning actor (being about 90 days younger than Natalie Portman).

I would consider Taylor a "movie star" in the classic sense as I would de Havilland and Fontaine. I'm curious who else is on that list that would fall into the classic movie star category. Lauren Bacall perhaps? Who else is still alive?

As Alan Swann said in panic in "My Favorite Year" when learning he'd be doing live TV, an actor's dream, "I'm not an actor. I'm a movie star."

This is the entire top 25.

Luise Rainer - 101.106
Olivia de Havilland - 94.724
Ernest Borgnine - 94.157
Celeste Holm - 93.897
Joan Fontaine - 93.415
Cliff Robertson - 87.535
Eva Marie Saint - 86.716

George Kennedy - 86.089
Cloris Leachman - 84.895
Sidney Poitier - 84.085
Lee Grant - 83.392
Estelle Parsons - 83.337
Martin Landau - 82.754
Gene Hackman - 81.142

While I have not thought of Lee Grant in years, I am still shocked to realize she is 83.
