    Gene Hackman is definitely still alive of the more prominent cast. There’s also some of the bit actors like the med school students that are still alive.

      I was thinking of the main cast, really, but I honestly thought Gene Hackman was gone. Happy to be wrong about that.

      Sadly, most of the players of the bit parts are gone too, including Danny Goldman, who played the medical student with a line. The little girl is still alive as if the shoe-shine boy and the other credited medical student. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised considering the movie is now 50 years old. Damn, I’m old. :(
