All stars still alive (trivia)

In discussing some classic films from the 60's and 70's with friends I realized it was hard to find a film where most of the actors playing the major characters were still alive. Even when there are only two, one or both had passed on. It doesn't seem like a long time ago, at least to me.

Bonnie and Clyde has a relatively whopping five actors, the whole Barrow gang, still alive and active. And they weren't all exactly kids when it was made.

(I hope this isn't too macabre a subject, maybe its the Halloween spirit I'm in)

Auto-Tune is not a genre, please stop treating it as such.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars - 1964

Three credited cast (if you don't count the monkey), including Adam West. All still alive.

The Sound of Music - all of the Von Trapp family actors, the baroness played by Eleanor Parker, and the actor who played Rolfe. Although this includes actors who were children at the time; considering the track record of child actors it seems like a small miracle that they are all still with us.

True, but there's 9 deceased out of 21 main cast (pretty large main cast though).
