I hate when legends pass away, and yesterday delivered us a toughy: Ernest Borgnine, who won the Best Actor Oscar for 1955's Marty (delivered by Miss Grace Kelly!) and charmed us on McHale's Navy, died at 95. Now the oldest living Best Actor is the noble and towering Sidney Poitier, who was born over 10 years after Borgnine. While our octagenarian Oscar winners deserve the utmost reverence, there's something downright superhuman about the nonagenarian awardees, if I do say so myself. Today, in honor of Borgnine, we're toasting five such winners who are alive, kicking, and ruling. Just start applauding now and don't stop until the end of the post.
1. Luise Rainer (aged 102)
Won: Best Actress (twice) for 1936's The Great Ziegfeld and 1937's The Good Earth

The union of two great Hollywood families
'The pretentiousness, the bogus enthusiasm, the constant drinking and drabbing, the incessant squabbling over money, the all-pervasive agent, the strutting of the big shots ... the constant fear of losing all this fairy gold and being the nothing they have never ceased to be, the snide tricks, the whole damn mess is out of this world." This is Raymond Chandler on Hollywood. And it doesn't get much more Hollywood, or much messier, than the story of the Selznicks and the Mayers.
Hollywood always likes to intermarry, for better, but usually for worse, and the marriage of David O Selznick and Irene Mayer in 1930 saw the union of two of the greatest of all the Hollywood dynasties.
Selznick was a young film producer, the son of Lewis J Selznick, who was born in Kiev, Ukraine, emigrated to America and eventually became a head of a film studio.
