Classic TV Shows with Only One Living Cast Member Remaining

Classic TV Shows with Only One Living Cast Member Remaining

Actress Anne Schedeen passed away earlier this week.  She played the mom on “Alf”.  Now that she’s gone, there’s only one main cast member left alive.  That would be Andrea Elson, who played her daughter Lynn Tanner.

But “Alf” isn’t the only classic show with only one remaining cast member.  Here are some others:

1.  “All in the Family”:  Sally Struthers, a.k.a. Gloria Bunker.  Rob Reiner’s death left her the sole survivor.  Sally is 78.

2.  “Three’s Company”:  Joyce DeWitt, who played Janet. She’s 77.

3.  “Gilligan’s Island”:  Tina Louise, a.k.a. Ginger Grant, the movie star.  She’s 92.

4.  “Mork & Mindy”:  Pam Dawber, who played Mindy McConnell.  She’s 74.

5.  “Diff’rent Strokes”:  Todd Bridges.  He was Willis, as in, “What’choo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?”  He’s 61.

6.  “Laverne & Shirley”:  Michael McKean . . . a.k.a. Lenny of Lenny and Squiggy fame.  He’s 78.

7.  “The Beverly Hillbillies”:  Max Baer Jr., who played Jethro Bodine.  He’s 88.

8.  “Leave It to Beaver”:  Jerry Mathers . . . THE BEAVER!!! He’s 78.

9.  “The Addams Family”:  John Astin, a.k.a. patriarch Gomez Addams.  He’s 96.

By the way . . . the “Alf” thing is a bit of a technicality, since Paul Fusco, the guy who puppeteered and provided the voice of Alf, is still alive.  He’s 73.
