Pennebaker (85) was nominated alongside the late Chris Hegedus for his 1993 'The War Room'.<br />Julie Harris (84) was a Best Actress nominne in 1952 for 'The Member of the Wedding'.<br /><br />And though not exactly qualifying for this list, I feel like mentioning Jake LaMotta, Benjamin Bradlee and John Bayley, who all saw other people winning Oscars for playing them and are still live at aged 89 (LaMotta and Bayley) and 85 (Bayley) respectively, as well; also let it be known I'm shocked to realize that Carl Reiner and Alain Resnais never were Oscar nominees.MrWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-46894235883087478292010-10-23T10:48:02.778-04:002010-10-23T10:48:02.778-04:00Mr W -- wow thanks.
