Predictor 1,018 Posted June 26, 2014 This guy has now outlived three of his main competitors. First Borgnine, then Rooney and now Wallach. Well done, old Kirk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted June 26, 2014 This guy has now outlived three of his main competitors. First Borgnine, then Rooney and now Wallach. Well done, old Kirk. At 97 he must be well experienced in outliving other people. regards, Hein 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,592 Posted June 26, 2014 Now that Eli has gone to The Magnificant Heaven Kirk is the competitor with most appearances on the list. If he makes it to next year he will draw level with Ronnie Biggs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Guest Posted June 26, 2014 Not a good year for actors, isn't it. Sid Cesar, Mickey Rooney, Casey Kasem and now Eli Wallach. Who will be next? Abe Vigoda? Dick Van Dyke? Ed Asner? Christopher Lee? Or Kirk Douglas? Four done, five to go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,018 Posted July 27, 2014 Kirk Douglas has written an article on Elaine Stritch. If you read between the lines, you'll note that her death has affected him so much that he's lost his will to live. Possibly even suicidal: http://www.huffingto..._b_5619022.html Reading between the lines = Literally looking at the empty white spaces between the letters and making up stuff for the sake of it.

I read the spoiler so moderated what I was going to say. Assuming he wrote most of this and it did sound very personal this is a man who is aware of his own mortality and the importance of time with loved ones. Thanks for bringing this article to our attention. I won't be holding my breath for KD in 2014. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,337 Posted August 22, 2014 I can`t help but feel sorry for Kirk -he has outlived so many of his friends now but I think he will be with us for a while yet his mind is so sharp and he is still very mobile for a 97 year old !Its very sad when someone gets to an age where they are one of the last of their generation but it is better than the alternative I suppose!

I think his ego is what has kept him alive all these years. Even after his stroke, he wanted to stay in the limelight, got speech therapy, made blog entries, etc. So I think one part of him is still satisfied with being one of the last of his generation. He has the mentality of a big movie star. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted December 3, 2014 Kirky has got to be absolutely nailed-on for next year. He looks terrible in recent pics and Eli Wallach's death this year showed us that, no, these guys can't actually go on forever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
