is james whitmore still living?

Answer 1

Whitmore has continued to earn distinction across the boards -- on stage, film and TV. More recently, he showed worthy Oscar potential once again with his touching role as an aged, ill-fated prison parolee in The Shawshank Redemption (1994), and earned an Emmy for a recurring part on "The Practice" in the late 90s. One of his ultimate passions has been gardening and he became a commercial spokesman for many years for Miracle-Gro plant food. Currently Whitmore his enjoying his twilight years with his third wife, former actress-turned-author Noreen Nash, whom he married nearing age 80 in 2001.
