Harry Belafonte still wanna go home at 95!
On the MST3K front, we can’t forget about the Notorious B.I.G. himself, Bert I. Gordon, still going strong at 100!
Darn it Squid I was just about to mention Harry !!
I was just about to mention him, along with Roger Corman.
Give us a break! This thread started 5 hours ago and our memory isn’t what it used to be.
Norman Lear is still going at 100.
Norman Jewison. Tony Bennett. Jimmy AND Rosalyn Carter!
We lost Chapman a while ago. But, more recently Terry Jones… R.I.P.
But Cleese, Idle, Palin & Gilliam are still with us!
Can I just say that I love John Astin with the fire of a thousand suns?
He taught us how to live with passion in The Addams Family and, if that’s not enough, brought us joy in the Killer Tomatoes sequels and The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr..
Don’t forget Night Court!
Keef. No explanation necessary.
We all know he’s going to go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave, but not yet!
Gotta agree with Mel Brooks, David Attenborough, and John Astin in particular.
Christopher Lloyd got rejuvinated in 2015 which is why he’s still going at 84.
And his Taxi co-star Judd Hirsch is still going at 87.
And her Girls Town co-star and former husband, trumpeter/bandleader Ray Anthony turned 101 just last week!
Jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins is 92. One of my true musical heroes, I was lucky enough to see him in concert a few times in the early part of this century. A Sonny Rollins concert was always a remarkable experience.
Several years ago, I sent birthday cards to a lot of my jazz favorites who were getting up there in years. I was absolutely astounded when one day in the mail I received a hand written thank you note from Sonny Rollins! Truly a class act.
Although he is retired now, his music will always be important to me.
