Dead or Alive: a macabre guessing game

Loretta Lynn has passed. She is another in an increasingly long line of celebrities I thought might have already been dead ages ago. Like if you told me she died in 1996, I would have believed you.
So the game is this: Name a celebrity you think might exist (or not!) in this gray area. RM guesses dead or alive without looking it up. Eventually someone looks it up, posts the truth, and then adds a new name.
First celebrity: Angela Lansbury

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Not really part of the guessing game, but I recently heard tbat Ron Howard is the last surviving person to have appeared on The Andy Griffith show; I'm not sure if they meant main cast or altogether, but it'd be crazy if it was all actors, not just the regulars.
