Why Diana Ross is the last one who is alive from the 1978 the wiz movie?

How is it apart from the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz and the 1978 classic The Wiz from the cast members have all passed away from both movies but Diana Ross is the last one who is alive from it?

the stars from the movie the main cast are dead - Michael Jackson who was the youngest from the cast, nipsey Russell, Ted ross, Lena Horne, and Richard Pryor

and the 1939 wizard of Oz movie cast definitely all of them dead of course but why is that? please tell me your opinions

You ought to be able to figure this out on your own. Except for Michael Jackson who died of propofol intoxication in 2009, she was the youngest member of the cast. Except for Jackson, there was nothing unusual about the other cast members' death. She's 79 now. There's nothing unusual about her being the lone survivor.

No Diana was 33 and Michael was 19 or 20 at the time. He was the youngest

That’s what I said if you read it again.

I wouldn't question it. I’m just glad she's still with us. Quincy Jones had a small role but he's still around too
