Murder on the Orient Express (1974) Then and Now 2026 | Only 3 Cast Members Are Still Alive 😱

Fifty-two years after the Orient Express pulled out of the station, only three members of that legendary 1974 cast are still alive in 2026 — and the fates of the rest are far more heartbreaking than anyone expected. Sidney Lumet's Murder on the Orient Express (1974) assembled one of the greatest ensembles ever put on screen, and in this Murder on the Orient Express cast then and now 2026 video we look at every famous passenger, then and now, and find out who's still alive after 52 years and who tragically passed away. Albert Finney vanished under all that wax and moustache to become Hercule Poirot, and the performance earned him an Oscar nomination he never quite escaped. Ingrid Bergman won the Academy Award for barely fifteen minutes on screen. Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, John Gielgud, Anthony Perkins, Wendy Hiller, Richard Widmark, Martin Balsam, Rachel Roberts, Colin Blakely and Denis Quilley all shared that cramped, snowbound carriage — and every one of them has since left us, some far too soon and in circumstances that still shock fans today. That leaves Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York and Jacqueline Bisset as the last three passengers still with us, and their transformations across five decades are so striking you'd never recognize the young faces from 1974. We go through the whole cast one by one, the roles that followed, the careers that soared, the tragedies nobody saw coming, and where the survivors are today.
