Only John Gavin seems to be fully retired. William Daniels' last IMDb. credit was in 2015, Schallert's in 2014 and Nolan's in 2008.

I believe Asner's still on the SAG board, so I know he's still active.

Re: R.I.P. Patty Duke
Former SAG president Patty Duke died less than a week after sitting president Ken Howard who was succeeded by Gabrielle Carteris. A few other former SAG presidents are getting up there in age including 93-year-old William Schallert who played Duke's father on The Patty Duke Show. Others include 88-year-old William Daniels, 86-year-old Ed Asner, 84-year-old John Gavin and 82-year-old Kathy Nolan.

I remember she starred in a TV movie Call Me Anna based on her autobiography (her real name is Anna Marie Duke) where she recounted her struggle with bipolar disorder. It must have taken a great deal of courage to do that.

Re: R.I.P. Patty Duke
Alan Rickman, David Bowie, now Patty Duke. 69 is proving to be quite an unlucky number for movie stars this year.
My favorite Patty Duke performance was in Captains and the Kings, the 1976 mini-series for which she won her second Emmy. My favorite Patty Duke film, aside from The Miracle Worker of course, was 1969's Me, Natalie.

Great in The Miracle Worker. By all reputation a stand-up human being. And anyone my age can sing the theme song from her TV show without prompting ("But Patty likes to rock and roll, A hot dog makes her lose control -- What a wild duet!").
