That claim is likely outdated or misleading, because “oldest living Hollywood star” changes over time and depends on who is still alive at the moment.
As of recent widely reported information (up to 2025), one of the best-known oldest living Hollywood figures has been:
- Norma Desmond is fictional and not applicable (ignore)
More accurately, the person often cited in recent years is:
- Marsha Hunt (actress, lived to 104; passed away in 2022) — she was one of the oldest surviving Hollywood Golden Age stars
After her passing, the “oldest living Hollywood star” title has shifted among a small number of very elderly actors, and it is not stable enough for a single fixed name without up-to-date confirmation.
🧠 Key point
- These “oldest living star” headlines change frequently
- They are often recycled or not updated
- The title depends on:
- whether the person is still alive
- and whether they are considered part of Hollywood’s Golden Age
