What's the most recent movie you can name where all the main cast members are dead?

I just finished watching "Judgment at Nuremberg" and realized that the first 25 credited actors are all dead with the exception of William Shatner. That came out in 1961 and got me thinking of which most recent movie have all the cast members died.

The Misfits (1961)

Singin in The Rain (1952) Rita Moreno is the only member of the main cast who is still alive.

12 Angry Men (1957) All the jurors are dead

Funny that Montgomery Clift was both in The Misfits and Judgment at Nuremberg in the same year. He died 5 years later at 45.

Not characters. The actors in real life.

Lillian Gish

The real shocking thing here is that Lillian Gish was alive in the 80s.

There are still a fair number of the cast still alive.

I did think of Cocoon (1985) because I think of all the people in the home only Wilfrod Brimley is still alive.

All the central cast are dead, as joes pointed out, they were all but dead when they made it!

[–] rudeboymurray (3241) 4 years ago

I'm not sure if Cocoon counts because the younger principals - Brian Dennehy, Steve Guttenberg, Tahnee Welch, Barret Oliver etc - are all still around, as well as Brimley.
