Well done, Sister Suffragette!
She was born in 1923 in Pretoria, South Africa. Known for her husky voice, she is the oldest living Oscar nominee in an acting category. I like her in all the films of hers I've seen, from the 1940s to the 1990s: 49th Parallel, The Halfway House, The Court Jester, Mary Poppins and While You Were Sleeping. There are many more I haven't seen - but I plan to rectify that.
Incidentally, there can't be many films from the 1950s with two major cast members still alive in 2021?

She's immense in her Oscar-nominated performance in The Sundowners, too. One of the most inspired nominations in the category.

HBD! I haven't seen much at all but I like her bit in The Vault of Horror (1973) and she's wonderful in The Card (1952) opposite Alec Guinness.
She's good in The Court Jester (1955) too with Angela Lansbury who's also still alive! And Lansbury is in The Long Hot Summer (1958) with Joanne Woodward who's still alive and Woodward is in A Kiss Before Dying (1956) with Robert Wagner who's still kickin. That's all I got but there's def more. Anything from the 1940s? Y'know, Marsha Hunt is turning 104 next week and her first film was in 1935!

As today is Marsha Hunt's 104th birthday (!), I've checked her filmography and found out that she made a film with Margaret O'Brien in 1943 ( Lost Angel), so that's one from the 1940s. Or does including child actors count as cheating? |
