Nehemiah Persoff published his autobiography in July this year (2021 still). I also looked at his paintings which he's selling. I wonder how "active" he is/was in those endeavours.
Incredibly versatile character actor Nehemiah Persoff is 102.
He made it to 102 years, 8 months. That's remarkable. He guested on all my favorite 1970's shows, usually as that week's refined, urbane villain. The 70's period in his imdb listing has my nights back then written all over it.

Not to mention he was all over the 60's. From One Step Beyond through Land of the Giants and almost everything in between. Irwin Allen loved him, he was in all but Lost in Space. I loved him as Jake "Greasy Thumb" Guzik in The Untouchables "The Empty Chair."
Funny how he didn't venture in the the Star Trek universe until The Next Generation. He should have been on the original series.
Actor/comedian Larry Storch turned 99 last January, and is the last surviving cast member of "F Troop".
You cannot tell in advance who is going to have a long life. To look at Larry Storch on F Troop or wherever, there is nothing about his face that says "This guy is going to outlive everybody." And I could say the same for Nehemiah Persoff. If anything, they looked like they would not hang in there. Abe Vigoda looked like he had one foot in the grave from about 1978 on. Whatever the secret ingredient for longevity is, you can't see in someone's face.
I just noticed that Barbara Bain (Mission Impossible, Space 1999) is 90 now. There must be a lot of these folks that we're not thinking of.
And she and Peter Lupus are the only surviving original cast members of "Mission: Impossible" and she even outlived her husband and costar Martin Landau.
I wonder if this implies what I THINK this implies!
I THINK I know what you THINK I was implying. But I wasn't implying THAT!
For just a fraction of a second, I read the post as if she had died.
Now, if that WAS what you THOUGHT I was implying, then I'm embarrassed that I was THINKING that you THOUGHT I was implying another thing, when I really don't have a full grasp of what that other thing could have been. I was just trying to THINK like you might have been THINKING when you read my post, and not really knowing you, I shouldn't have really THOUGHT that.
I'll just put mySELF on my ignore list and call it a night.
