Olivia de Havilland--
A resident of Paris since the 1950s, de Havilland rarely makes public appearances. According to John Lichfield in a 14 July 2009 interview published in the Independent, she is working on an autobiography and hoped to have a first draft by September 2009.

De Havilland narrated the 2009 documentary, I Remember Better When I Paint. The film is about the importance of art in the treatment of Alzheimer’s.

On September 9, 2010, at the age of 94, Olivia de Havilland received the Knight of the Legion of Honor, which is a decoration awarded by the President of the French Republic.

Ernst Borgnine

Quote:

In 1951, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he eventually received his big break in From Here to Eternity (1953), playing the cruel Sergeant "Fatso" Judson in charge of the stockade, who taunts fellow soldier Angelo Maggio (played by Frank Sinatra). Borgnine built a reputation as a dependable character actor and appeared in early film roles as villains, including movies like Johnny Guitar, Vera Cruz and Bad Day at Black Rock. But in 1955, the actor starred as a warm-hearted butcher in the film version of the television play Marty, which gained him an Academy Award for Best Actor

So again if you accept my contention what's commonly called Hollywood's golden age was the 1930s-1940s, then Mickey Rooney, and Olivia DeHavilland, and now I discover her sister, and yeah OK let's slip Lauren Bacall in there, are the last remaining stars from that era I can think of.

Ok, wait. If I'm using Wikipedia info, you guys are all right and I'm wrong. They've moved the goal posts on what I always thought of as "Golden Age".

During the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood, which lasted from the end of the silent era in American cinema in the late 1920s to the late 1950s

Kirt Douglas is still alive. He was a special presenter/guest on the academy awards last week. He is in his 90's, still holding his own, but looking rough around the edges. Frail......But then, who the heck wouldn't be at his age?
