Carl Reiner,
Your Show of Shows
, etc.
Character actor Norman Lloyd, who performed on various anthology series in the 1950s; at 101, still a working actor, his most recent credit 2015's
Trainwreck
.
If you count announcers, there's Hugh Downs, who began as an announcer back in 1947 as well as appearing on
The Jack Paar Show
and news shows. He also has one of the longest continuous marriages on IMDb: 72 years!
Chimpanzee "actor" J. Fred Muggs, one of the first stars of the
Today
show, doesn't have a death date listed on IMDb, so it's possible he's still around somewhere.
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

72 year marriage? That's longer than the life span of the average 1960s rocker.
I might be mistaken, but I believe Carl Reiner wrote some of the sketches in "The Dinah Shore Chevy Show", of which some colour video-tapes recently got repeated.

Robert Conrad was in Hawaiian Eye also.
Not only is Jay North (Dennis The Menace) still alive, but so is Gloria Henry, who played his mother.
Lola Albright (Peter Gunn) and Dwayne Hickman (The Bob Cummings Show, Dobie Gillis). Other Dobie alumni are Warren Beatty and Tuesday Weld.
But throughout it all, my motto was "Dignity! Always dignity!". -

Nanette Fabray was, also, among the players on "Your Show of Shows."
Tim Considine and David Stollery (AKA "Spin and Marty," from the Mickey Mouse Club series), are closer to "Baby Boomer" years but they're still with us. -

The Twilight Zone premiered in October 1959, so for the three months of the 50s that the program ran, here are some still surviving members of the cast:
Earl Holliman (Ep #1)
Martin Landau (Ep #3)
Ron Howard (Ep #5)
Jean Marsh (Ep #7)
It looks like the odd-numbered stories were the luckiest for cast members.

Patty (now Patricia) McCormick, who achieved stardom, and an Oscar nomination, with The Bad Seed, had a short-lived series in the 1950s called Peck's Bad Girl.
But throughout it all, my motto was "Dignity! Always dignity!". -
