Suddenly Single

Hal Holbrook and Cloris Leachman played husband and wife in the preceding year's feature "The People Next Door" (1970) and again in this made-for-TV film. In January 2021, Hal's passing would occur four days before Cloris's, although his death was reported after hers, ten days after he died. He was 95 and she was 94. Surviving them from those two films were co-stars who were also among the longest-lived famous actors at the time of the duo's passings, the 1970 movie also including Nehemiah Persoff who would survive them at age 101, and this film including both Barbara Rush having recently turned 94 and Michael Constantine being age 93 when their colleagues departed.
