Unless I missed it, there is not a thread about this remarkable character actor reaching yet another birthday.

Hope he is is in at least reasonable good health, all things considered. Lucky for him he gave up smoking at age 85 to extend his life!

Thanks for starting it. I wanted to do one, but life got complicated this week.

Happy birthday to Charlie!

I understand he is before the cameras again for the first time in a decade, albeit just for a documentary about his showbiz life. But it’s something.

Hope your grandmother is well, **Baker**. Tell her we all said “Hi.”
