If you say so

She is 96

PiePie, while most sources give her year of birth as 1917 there is some controversy about that.

Zsa Zsa Gabor - Biography - IMDb

It is unclear as to Zsa Zsa's birth year: sources vary from 1917 to 1919.

I guess I might be wrong on that one

[ljbab728]

Mickey Rooney is still with us at 93.

[ljbab728]

And from two years ago.



This is a recent unfortunate problem he had with abuse from a relative.

And Betty White

Of course it's not a surprise about Betty. She is on TV everywhere you look. The others are not in that kind of spotlight.

Everybody in the world knows Mickey Rooney is alive, he was in a movie a few years ago, I forgot the name of it, some stupid Ben Stiller movie....

I never said he was retired, PiePie. My point was that he isn't constantly in the spotlight like Betty White is. I think if you took a poll more than half would think he was dead. Obviously none of the people discussed so far are completely hiding from the public.

Ohh I got it now, sorry

Grand babies sent Poppa some proof Santa is alive, kicking and interviewing elves in WY.
At their age he's the biggest celeb they know.

And Betty White

I remember her on the Today Show in the 50's. Can't think of anything
I liked about her afterwards.

[Prunepicker]

I love 'Giant'. It's the only old timer movie I own on DVD!

Same here. A very good movie. I like Rebel Without a Cause, too. Well
written and directed. Nicholas Ray did a good job of herding the cattle,
I mean directing the movie.

I'm not quite sure what you're referring to unless it was an occasional appearance. She was never a regular on the Today Show even though it was offered to her. My main memories of her in the 50's was watching "Life With Elizabeth".

Stan Freberg is still alive!

[Prunepicker]

Kirk Douglas, Olivia De Havilland and Eli Wallach are still living. So is
Hugh Downs.

I could be wrong . . . Yet I think that Don Rickles is still out there.
(the reason that Don was always able to crack-up Johnny Carson is because he always said everything Johnny wanted to say, but couldn't. On account of he, Johnny, was the host. I learned that conducting a home-schooling psychology class back when I was about 10 or 11 and Don was in his prime. It was right around the time that Stan Freberg was getting started in the business and not long before I was introduced to Lenny Bruce . . . on vinyl.= )

It may be only co-incidence, yet apparently Don Rickles looks a lot like Mickey Rooney.
At least after this many orbits of the earth around the sun.
Can you imagine how funny those Judge Hardy movies would have been if Don Rickles had been the childhood star instead of Mickey Rooney?
(watch: that will show up on Youtube or the next incarnation of Mystery Science Theater (4 D Nu Millenium).

I saw him on a You Tube video so he must be alive.

I saw the "Broken Cigarette Box" program. It's the one that Johnny, after
Rickles had subbed, discovered the cigarette box on his desk, the one
he'd tap on with a pencil, was broken. Rickles was taping a program and
Johnny crashed the taping. Rickles, believe it or not, was speechless.
CPO Sharkey was the program.

That's reassuring (about don rickles) . . .
Youtube and The Internets never lies.
(however, I have reservations regarding "the worldwide web(s)")

gotta run . . . my second or third favorite movie is being re-run:
"Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" Nearly every line of dialog is a classic.

[ljbab728]

Nanette Fabray is still around at 93.

A classic scene with Jack Benny.

[ljbab728]

This is a classic of hers with Sid Caesar.

[ljbab728]

Alan Young of "Mr. Ed" fame is still around at 94.
