It's time to write the list.
But I'm a bit short on time right now, so here are their names and birth years only.
And director Joseph H. Lewis was supposedly 100 when he died in 2000, but by now, the more reputable sources say he was 93.
1873 Adolph Zukor
1882 Estelle Winwood
1887 George Abbott
1888 Irving Berlin
1889 Athene Seyler
1892 Hal Roach
1896 George Burns
1897 Mary Ellis
1898 Irving Rapper, Margaret Booth
1900 Frederica Maas
1902 Leni Riefenstahl
1903 Bob Hope, Johannes Heesters
1905 Marie Glory
1906 Bruce Bennett, Barbara Kent
1907 Dercy Gonçalves, Run Run Shaw
1908 Jean Delannoy, Tullio Pinelli, Manoel de Oliveira
1909 Robert Boyle, Carla Laemmle
1910 Luise Rainer, Gloria Stuart
1911 Lupita Tovar, Herb Jeffries, Paulette Dubost
1912 Kaneto Shindo
1913 Douglas Slocombe, Elmo Williams
1914 Mary Carlisle, Norman Lloyd
1915 Leslie H. Martinson, Wally Cassell, Patricia Morison, Jack Rollins, Van Alexander
1916 Harry Rabinowitz, Olivia de Havilland, Jean Rouverol, Kirk Douglas
1917 Danielle Darrieux, Marsha Hunt
1918 Shinobu Hashimoto, Artur Brauner
1919 Caren Marsh (alive), Marge Champion
1920 Norma Barzman (alive)
1921 Bill Butler, Walter Mirisch
1922 Norman Lear, Micheline Presle, Janis Paige, Bert I. Gordon, Jacqueline White (all alive except Gordon)
And I'd love to add director Madeline Anderson, but in addition to 1923, there are claims she was born in...1924, 1927 and 1928. Very strange.
So in the meantime, we'll have to wait until October for the first official centenarian of the year - Glynis Johns.
