I first noticed her in a tiny role as Burt Reynold’s sister-in-law in the rom-com Starting Over. She had one joke in the entire movie, but her completely sincere, deadpan delivery got a bigger laugh than any other line.
Yayyy Points! At last thanks Henry.
Well Point
No point?
Why did she seem old 40 years ago?

If you think about it, mankind in general gets points for Kissinger. I’m just glad he didn’t outlive Jimmy Carter.
I guess he was, in the end.
So much for my dream of seeing Kissinger tried for war crimes at The Hague.
They say in Spanish that the Devil knows more because of how old he is than because he is the Devil. Guess the Devil thought it was time to learn a couple of new tricks. Welcome, Mr. Kissinger, here is your accordion.
Shane McGowan has died. I think I had him on last year’s list.
He spelled it MacGowan, and he left me 35 points!
My only points this year (so far).
Bah. Had him on next year’s list.
If Jimmy Carter dies, who are our 97-99 year old people we know about? Norman Lear is 101, I know about him, but who are the most famous people approaching 100?
You could check out my 2023 list, from which we’ve only lost Harry Belafonte and Tony Bennett.
Dick Van Dyke will turn 98 two weeks from today.
Mel Brooks is 97.
Eva Marie Saint is 99.
I’m sure there are more.
Oh, I have Shane MacGowan too! The second time I score points this year! (The first made me happier: Berlusconi).
Buzz Aldrin is 93.
John Astin is 93.
David Attenborough is 97.
Barbara Bain is 92.
Warren Buffett is 93.
Carol Burnett is 90.
Ellen Burstyn is 90.
Dick Button is 94.
Michael Caine is 90.

And I dropped the Pogue this year from my list to make space…
Sorry Shane, RIP…
Adding to the “just under” list:
Bonnie Bartlett, 94, and William Daniels, 96 (married 72 years)
Lee Grant, 98? (her year of birth is disputed)
June Lockhart, 98
Estelle Parsons, 96
Joyce Randolph, 99
Ouch, this is going to hurt assuming I outlive him(I’m 45). International treasure.
Bill Shatner is also over 90 now.
He’s 92. Yikes.
