Batman Trivia Question

The site where I saw this won't provide an answer until tomorrow, but I thought this was a good quiz for those of us with ghoulish minds.
How many villains on the old Batman TV series are still alive (and this might be jinxing one or two of them)?
I came up with six without doing any looking up.
John Astin
Joan Collins
Zsa Zsa Gabor
Barbara Rush
Malachi Throne (played False Face and was never billed in the credits)
Eli Wallach
Maybe a seventh, but I'm not sure that Dina Merrill was billed as a villain when she appeared.

Wow, I'm impressed that you remember so many! I think Lee Meriwether and Julie Newmar are also still alive. I used to love that show when I was a kid and Catwoman was my favorite villainess!

I don't know how I missed Julie Newmar the first time. Lee Meriwether played Catwoman in the Batman movie so she doesn't fit the question. Eartha Kitt also played Catwoman on the TV show.

Eli Walach took a turn as Mr Freeze and Glynis Johns was with Rudy Valley in the Londinium episodes as Lady Penelope Peasoup

Sadly, we scratch another from this list.
RIP Malachi Throne.
