Trailblazing actors and actresses such as Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Cloris Leachman, and Leonard Nimoy left their marks on society in a big way, but unfortunately, they have all since passed away. So many of the most iconic and influential stars from yesteryear are no longer with us, but even so, their legacies remain intact.

But even though death is something that we can all expect to experience at some point in our timelines, no one wants to be the last one standing from their particular social circle. That's a lonely position to be in.

In this video, we'll be taking a look at several stars from classic television shows that are the last remaining cast members from their respective series. Instead of looking at these stars with pity, let's do our best to celebrate their enduring legacies.

We'll be covering stars from shows such as The Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, The Honeymooners, and more. So, make sure you watch this video in full because you never know when these legends are going to follow their former co-stars into the light.

Wow, “Trixie” is 97. Didn’t know that Joyce Randolph is still alive. She’s a television artifact.

Ron Howard, the Andy Griffith show, Dick Van Dyke, the Dick Van Dyke show.

With the recent passing of Betty White, I believe that John Amos is the last surviving cast member of the Mary Tyler Moore show. He played Gordie the weather man.

[tyeeggleston]

Mikey Dolenz is the last surviving member of "The Monkees".

[deborahjohnson]

Michael Cole is the last living star of The Mod Squad. Clarence Williams III passed in '21, Peggy Lipton in '19 and police captain in '08.

Barbara Feldon ("Agent 99") - Get Smart...

[stevegallo]

Well, there's Betty White who is the last living cast member from two different shows: The Mary Tyler Moore show and Golden Girls. Todd Bridges from Different Strokes is another. I believe Demond Wilson, Lamont Sanford, is the last living cast member from Sanford and Son.

Todd Bridges is the last surviving original cast member on Diff’rent Strokes.

So glad hearing of these legends. Thank you for sharing with us.

BETTY WHITE HAS OUTLIVED MANY SHOWS AND CAST MEMBERS.

How about Betty White? She was already the last living member of the Golden Girls and this year she became the last living member of The Mary Tyler Moore show.

There was even a scene in the Golden Girls when they all made a pact to take care of each other in their old age. Ironically it was Betty White that said the line "What happens when there is only one of us left?"

[pattyeverett]

As to my knowledge, there is only one main "character" left from Bewitched, -Tabitha. She was played by twins Erin and Diane Murphy-twins.

Whaaaat ? Betty White didn't make this list ? She is the last survivor of 2 tv shows. Mary Tyler Moore and Golden Girls

[taratupa]

The closest I can come is 2. John Wright (Willy) and Yoshio Yoda (Fuji) are the last two surviving members of the cast of 'McHale's Navy'.

[tonycanabal]

Phyllis Coates was a tough Lois Lane. She even got top billing with George Reeves.

[RCBSD]

How about Larry Storch?? After the 2021 passing of James "Dobbs" Hampton, he is now the last surviving cast member, and will turn 99 in January 2022.

[brianreber]

Micky Dolenz of The Monkees is now the last regular cast member. Mike Nesmith just died December 10, 2021 of heart failure just a month after his farewell tour with Micky, leaving him the last survivor. 😪

Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees and Robert Clarey of Hogans Heroes

It's hard to believe that Barbara Eden was in her mid thirties when "I Dream Of Jeannie" premiered. I mean, damn, what a body!
