Surviving Contributors

Beth's recent post prompted me to start of thread asking who's still alive.
If you know, please add to the thread. If you know what they're doing (even if it's happily retired).
I am a regular listener to Jeff Maxwell's podcast. He lives in California and the only thing I know he's doing is the podcast, but he doesn't talk much of anything outside MASH so he may be doing other stuff.
He had Eileen Saki on his latest episode. It sounds like she's still auditioning and picking up an occasional acting job on commercials.
Please add to the list!

Now you've gone and done it, Finest--I was trying to work and just couldn't help myself haha.

Below, I have tabulated everyone listed as working on MASH on IMDB's page (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068098/). I have removed duplicate lines where someone performed multiple roles (i.e. Alda did everything at some point, didn't he?). I have removed people who are dead from the list--I cannot take credit for this information, and suspect that (for minor jobs like grips or techs) the IMDB data might not be accurate. Also, I removed people credited only for up to three episodes, making a number of exceptions for actors who are widely known. You'll just have to deal with my judgment on who is famous and who isn't, because that made the difference of a couple hours. And I apologize in advance for any errors; they may or may not be my own.

I have really only indicated if someone is still "active", which is also my personal judgment. I figured if they had a real title for something released in the past few years, they can be considered active. I have noted the last decade I considered them really active as well.

P.S. the "some" and "lots" refers to just how busy they are. This was arbitrary as with a bunch of the rest of it, but "some" is basically some work in the past 3 years, and "lots" is 5+ credits in the past 3 years.

Well done

I figured at best to get a dozen or so. You blew that out of the water.

I think there's enough folks for a 50th anniversary reunion special sort of thing.
I lost track of how many kinda regulars there were and that are still around. I mean folks that were in a number of episodes, you saw them, and they may or may not have had a line - "resting comfortably, Doctor," or some such line.

Re: the crew, I'm sure a bunch of those people weren't really "creative forces" behind the show; transportation department guys, for instance, those guys had hundreds of different credits on their pages. But lots of them were too, I'm sure.

I would think that you could expect the writers to consider themselves driving forces, as well as anyone in production, editing, art/set design, casting and music.

I'm surprised that only Gene Reynolds survives of the directors (besides Alda/Farrell/Farr), and am really curious at the numbers of stunt personnel. What stunts were there?

I guess maybe that was soldiers jumping away from explosions?

Stunts

Smells like another potential thread...
I remember Frank falling in at least two trenches; one time, Hawkeye and Trapper parked a jeep on top of it to trap Frank while they watched his wedding film. Another time BJ filled it with water, asked Sidney to scream, "Air raid!!", and Frank jumped into the filled trench.
A very drunk Potter and Hawkeye jumped into a foxhole on their way back from a Korean hospital.
There's been some fightin' at Rosie's.
BJ and Hawkeye have wrecked in a jeep at least once.
Clayton Kibbee (spelling?) did a little stunt riding on BJ's motorcycle.
Don't know if all those would have had stuntmen, but it's possible.
