The not-yet-dead set

In response to the rather serious plague that seems to be working it's way through the available supply of famous people, today we introduce a new feature here on the Hollywood Humiliation blog: a tribute to those actors, actors, producers, moguls and whores who are not currently dead, even though you probably thought they were. 

Our first un-dead (but not Zombie) person: Herbert Lom

Lom, for those of you jackass-y enough not to be a fan of the Pink Panther series of movies, is most famous for playing the tormented and (eventually) insane Inspector Dreyfus in, uh, that Pink Panther series of movies. 

Lom was born in Austria-Hungary (back when that was still a country) with the not-too-business-card friendly name Herbert Charles Angelo Kuchacevich von Schluderbacheru. Oh, and this was in 1917, making Lom 91 freaking years old (and thus, older than Finland). 

Given that the average life expectancy of a male is about 76, this means Lom has outlived his life expectancy by nearly as long as I've been alive. 

Apparently he's smug about it, too. 

Before retiring in 2004, Lom's career was mostly characterized by his villainous roles, a career choice Lom explained by saying, "in English eyes, all foreigners are sinister." 

This is really too bad, because Lom could be suave and dignified when given the chance. 

Above: not one of those chances. 

So congratulations to you, Herbert. Statistically, someone will have to die a premature death to make up for you. 

Personally, I'm voting for this guy.
