Hello!
First, sorry for my bad english!
I just saw that a few actors of this movie died at a young age, and nearly at the same time (early and mid 80s).
Peter Sellers, July 1980 (4 years after this film), Age: 54
David Niven, July 1983 (7 years after this film)
Truman Capote, August 1984 (8 years after this film), Age: 59
Elsa Lanchester, December 1986 (10 years after this film)
James Coco, February 1987 (11 years after this film), Age: 56

Great movie.

Well your right and your wrong..
Some died soon afterwards but others died later..
It's not like they got something you wont get.. you'll get yours
Some died on purpose others just because
To die young sucks but well.. it sucks when you're old also
To die to sleep perchance to dream.. Oh, oh.. there's the rub.. so..
The 80's were a difficult decade for many people..
I sleep now..

You're right. I forgot Dame Maggie Smith. Go figure.

Of the 13 characters in the movie, I guess only two are left now.

Let's not forget that Estelle Winwood died when she was 101.
I am sorry to hear about Eileen Brennan's passing though; I watched this and 'The Cheap Detective' in the last few days not knowing; she was great in both as she was as Mrs Peacock in the classic 'Clue', amongst other works.

I noticed that many dies within a few years and kind of young in many too, it is a little interesting. It is ironic that many of the actors in "And Then There Were None", the oldest and best version of the film from 1945, who were young during the film lived a long time, into the 90's in a few cases.

Almost all of the actors in this movie are now dead. Considering that this movie was made about 38 years ago it's to be expected. Still it's sad because of the fine actors who have passed.

73 isn't terribly old in 2013.

Ok. Your post was misleading saying that these actors died young, kind of implying that there was something mysterious about it.
Thanks for clarifying.

Thats right, that is why I left their age out.

Elsa Lanchester was 84 when she died. David Niven was 73. That's not young.
