Brando's gone...others that we looked up to aren't all that old, so we shouldn't have a string of other celebs to go yet? Will there be a threesome this time-and how long is it considered going in 3's?

Paul Newman-70's,Redford, still young etc...

Then there is Carol Channing, Red Buttons....

Oh gee,...just looking it up and found 3 recent passings...

1. Judy Canova
2. Richard Biggs
3. Richard Webb

and for those who remember "little Johnny" who was the Phillip Morris shouter: 'Call for Philllipppp Morrrrisssss!'

RIP all :\'(

Hmmm... I just noticed that when the BBS software sees a certain nickname for the name "Richard", it instead substitutes the word "dip".  ???

And here I thought it was censored because of the board.

dip dip dip - just testing ;)


Edit:  Yep, you can't even say the word D!ck here.

For some reason I thought Charles Lane was gone?

Eddie Albert is alive too?

Those were from my days.

Not an actor but my thoughts have been with Pete Seeger for the last couple of days. I have a feeling that he won't be with us too much longer either.  :\'( He is 85 (?) now and from what I heard, not in the best of health.



Cat

Queen Elizabeth-90-something
The Pope-85 years old
Morgan Freeman-73


Well,I can't think of anymore right now but hey life has to go on,so they say! :\'(

That's nothing...the old board would change it to Jerk Van Gay ;D

Let's see how many old time singers are left these days? :(

Willie Nelson
Kris Kristofferson
Kenny Rogers
Dolly Parton


Howard

Really surprised nobody has mentioned Sean Connery yet. He'll be 79 in August. Christopher Lee is around 82 or so..

Kryllith

When I thought old, I was thinking 80+...That's the average lifespan in the news.

Kenny Rogers is the father of 2 new twins! Maybe that's  the sign of the downfall...like Anthony Quinn, Tony Randall etc..??

I'll guess the Pope and some other old singer...

@ saver:  Tony Randall died like last month right???

Is that the songwriter that did "Abiyoyo?" 
Well anyway, yall, don't forget my man Sean Connery.  He is still pretty scrumptious for an old guy, but we don't know how much time he's got left.  :\'(

Is that the songwriter that did "Abiyoyo?"   



Yup-that is dude. Met him a few times. VERY, VERY nice man.

Hey, I was just listening to one of his CDs of labor ballads from Smithsonian-Folkways today.  Yes, it'll be sad when he dies, but on the bright side, what a life, what a legacy!  He and his family (including Mike Seeger, Charles Seeger, and Peggy Seeger) have done more to preserve and advance traditional folk music than anyone else, except maybe Alan Lomax.

Queen Elizabeth-90-something




Poor old Liz - I think you've added a few too many years there Howard!  The Queen Mother died last year (or was it the year before).  She was born in 1900.  Maybe that's who you're thinking of??

We're all getting older ... every single day. :o

Now I remember.  She's a fellow Pittsburgher.  Her real name was Rita Wright.

She and Billy Preston also did With You I'm Born Again back in the 1980's.  It was a great song.

Jack LaLanne is da man.  Hands down.  8)

Back when I was a kid, Jack had his daily exercise show on TV every morning.  One day he came on the show and performed an "Iron Cross".  At the time he was probably 4 or 50 years old.  ???

Awesome dude.

I forgot what The JuiceMan's name was.He's so damn healthy now that nothing is wrong with him. :o
He could be about 75 years old.

Jack LaLanne, the Juce guy, will be 90 years old this coming September.

http://www.jacklalanne.com/fingertip2.jpg

That would have made him about 53 years old when he did that Iron Cross.  Here is his interesting biography from IMDb.com :

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0482364/

"LaLanne was addicted to sugar as a child, causing him to commit acts of violence, including setting his parents' house on fire and attacking his brother with an ax. He was so weak his family physician recommended he be removed from school to rest and regain his strength. Around this time, he and his mother attended a lecture by Paul C. Bragg, a nutritionist who told LaLanne he was a human garbage can. LaLanne turned his life around with a strict diet and exercise. By the age of 18, he was running a home bakery selling healthy breads, and a home gym where he trained policemen and firemen in exercise and weightlifting. LaLanne's reputation as a physical fitness guru eventually led to his 20-year stint as the host of TV's _"Jack LaLanne Show, The" (1963)_ . There he taught exercise aimed principally at homemakers, using items found around the home. Even as he exceeds 80 years of age, LaLanne continues to boast a fine physique and encourage fans with health and fitness tips through videos and writing."

I'd tell ya.Jack LaLanne is in fantastic shape.Same as Jay Kordich.They both probably have the same ideas. ;D



Howard

Wow... with BOTH of those guys out there selling juicers, I'm gonna have to run out and get one for myself.  :P

Don't forget Bob Seeger too.

That's Seger, not Seeger!

You got it right Howard! I just saw Don Rickles on Jay Leno a few weeks ago :) And this guy was still throwing out the zingers left and right. The man is a living legend!

Ok. I have to say something that totally cracked me up!

I have realised that the ads on the top of the threads have usually been geared towards whatever the topic of the thread might be. But I just noticed that the ads on the top of this thread are for the LaLane Juicer ;D

Unbelievable! ;D

I see there are plenty of older TV and comics(R. Dangerfield,Rickles).

I guess I am referring to MOVIE STARS-over 75,that were looked up to like a Brando...Paul Newman may be there,70's are still kicking-the average lifespan now is 80.

The juice men were tv..Andy Griffith has film status so he works, Angela Landsbury. Liz Taylor?(70's)

With the turn over of film stars today,who will give a hoot when any of them 
leave?

I think singers are now the stars of our times and will be mourned most??

Robert Loggia
Paul Newman
Jerry Lewis

Now did anybody see THAT coming...WEEZIE is gone!
