What, like I wasn't going to Norman Lear: 100 Years of Music and Laughter the Top Pick? To the best of my knowledge, the all-time longest-living person in show business was "Mr." George Abbott, who was famous as a director and bookwriter during the Golden Age of Broadway (Three Men on a Horse, On the Town, The Pajama Game... Forum, etc.). He lived to age 107 1/2, dying in January 1995.
