Holy shit, just saw a FB endorsement for Bernie Sanders from DICK VAN DYKE. That dude must be at least 100.

That's the Mary Poppins old age makeup.

Van Dyke is barely 94, and still performing live.

Genuinely thought that the guy who built the steam-powered rocket to prove there was a flat earth had already killed himself in a previous launch/accident.

Elvis Telecom, Sunday, 23 February 2020 11:46 (six years ago)

That might have been another guy who built a steam-powered rocket to prove there was a flat earth.

There was a Night Court rerun on today that had John Astin guesting; not only is Astin still alive (turns 90 in March), but he really wasn't <that> old when the episode was taped (just under 60 then).

He played Harry Anderson's Dad, which also brings up the weirdness that Astin has outlived Anderson, ex-wife Patty Duke, almost every fellow TV Batman villain, and pretty much all of The Addams Family cast.
