As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, here are 10 Golden Age stars who were still alive at that time. Please note that this information might have changed since then:
10. Mel Brooks – Born on June 28, 1926
Mel Brooks is an American filmmaker, actor, comedian, and composer who has made a significant impact on the entertainment industry. He was born on June 28, 1926, in Brooklyn, New York. Brooks is known for his satirical and comedic works, which often parody various genres, including film, theater, and literature.
Brooks began his career as a stand-up comedian and writer in the 1940s and 1950s. He gained recognition for his work as a writer on the television show “Your Show of Shows” and later collaborated with Carl Reiner on the comedy sketch series “The 2000 Year Old Man.” Brooks then ventured into film and directed his first feature, “The Producers,” in 1967. The film, a satirical take on the theater industry, was a critical and commercial success, earning Brooks an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
