The person born in 1936 is benefited by all the improvements in mortality developed during his/her lifetime, and also by surviving peers that passed earlier. The best and most up to date life expectancy for any person, born at any time is available at ssa.gov. Again, I apologize for the diversion from the thread.

One of my ancestors, on my family tree, was born in 1850 and died in 1957. Also, my grandparents were born in the late 1800s and lived longer than the current average lifespan.
