Dead or Alive?

[dispenser]

Often the name of an actor or celebrity crops up in conversation, and the question might arise - what are they doing now, or even are they stilll alive? We were talking about Rod Steiger. Does anyone know what he is doing? I know I could simply Google this, but wanted to also share it on here, and ask if there is such a thing as an online directory of famous people which lists their status etc.

Thanks in advance
