One of them, absolutely. It is past my bed time but I hope to spend tomorrow in my library, thinking about who is still here from the Golden, magical days of Hollywood. It was wonderful to get to have Betty for such a long time. She was quite fabulous and a great sport. Just a hideous, shocking week for we who love film actors in the US.
No resting in peace - go enjoy seeing everyone again. Tell Kate hi from her namesakes.
Thank you for a much more thoughtful thread, I appreciate it, @There_Is_No_Sayid -

I would like to include Barbara Eden! Great on I Dream Of Jeanie.
No offense and I have nothing against Ms. Eden but she is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a "classic movie star".
Excuse me for talking while you're interrupting. -

Although they didn't hit the same heights as Ms. Bacall, we still have Mary Carlisle, who was a leading lady at MGM in the early to mid 1930', and the still lovely Marsha Hunt, who made her film debut in 1935.
Also: Diana Serra Cary, who was a star in silent films under the name, "Baby Peggy." And speaking of Child Stars, Jane Withers, who rivaled Shirley Temple in the 1930's.
They are few and far between, and like Ms. Bacall, will never be replaced. -

Sophia Loren
And my favourite, the eternally beautiful & animal rights activist
Brigitte Bardot
who turns 80 on September 28.
Michael Caine
, who's 81, fit, healthy & still filming.
Shirley MacLaine
Olivia de Havilland
as so many else here have listed is 98. Probably the oldest Golden Era of Hollywood legend still alive. -

Yes, we still have great actors (should i say legends) from the Golden Era who are still alive (Eva Marie Saint, Kirk Douglas, Maureen O'hara) but in terms of actual Legends, she was the last one. i think she was the only one still alive in Madonna's song Vogue, up until now
