It is a shame.
I think of the core "Carry On..." team I think it is only Barbara Windsor and Jim Dale that are still with us.
Sam. It is very sad to have lost so many of the core team at relatively young ages (under 70). Sid James, 1913 - 1976 (62) Peter Butterworth, 1919 - 1979 (59) Hattie Jacques, 1922 - 1980 (58) Kenneth Williams, 1926 - 1988 (62) Terry Scott, 1927 - 1994 (67) The Saint

Indeed, Harry H Corbett was only 57 when he died in 1982. Other Carry On stars who died young: Imogen Hassall, 1942 - 1980 (38) Roy Castle, 1932 - 1994 (62) William Hartnell, 1908 - 1975 (67) Wendy Richard, 1943 - 2009 (65) The Saint

Imogen Hassall, 1942 - 1980 (38) Yes, very sad. I think she was frustrated at the lack of progress in her career and took her own life

Yes, it's sad that they never lived till their eighties, also it's a shame that they didn't make the money they should have done from the films. When you look at some of the no marks they put on the screen to make us laugh now, it's enough to make you weep.
