tracy 2,392 Posted May 7, 2023 21 hours ago, markb4 said: I tend to ignore this, but an interesting fact is they also mentioned he had a concussion during his recent car crash. Was that news mentioned anywhere? The TMZ article about the crash said paramedics treated him at the scene for a possible concussion. That doesn't sound like he actually DID get a concussion, imo. Probably just precautionary given his age and the nature of the accident. Amusing that Radar Online is trying to whip up some doom over his "grueling" work on Days of Our Lives. It's a guest appearance on a soap opera where they do one take at most, and there's already somebody older than DVD who still appears on it. I'm sure he's begging for mercy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. Three years is a long time when you are that age.....for him to make it to 100, when, in fact, his birthday is in December, so over three more years to go....I don't think it's going to happen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldhollywood 85 Posted May 8, 2023 As it’s premature to say he will reach 100 I think it’s equally premature to say he won’t, he’s the most active 97 year old I’ve ever seen in show business. Kirk Douglas wasn’t exactly the best looking for his age and he made it all the way to 103. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he could even qualify to be dropped from the list, given how he's clearly not ill, still working, and still seems like he could live another 5 years easily... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He turns 99 next year and has been on every list since 2018, it's safe to say he's going to be on until he dies. As far as I can tell, the only other recent recurring DL pick who was cut at such an advanced age was Herman Wouk who missed 2013 and 2014. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He should be kept on until he dies.Put him lower next year though I would suggest.If Shane dies maybe give him the coveted no 50 spot. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, he does look incredibly healthy for his age right now, but things can go downhill very fast and unpredictably at 98 years old. There are worse candidates on this years Deathlist. I still think it more likely than not he will be with us at this time next year, however. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only thing left is to argue over the arbitrary number he's given. On that note. Jimmy Carter not being #1 is a crime. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only reason why we have Biden is because he is the ONLY person who can beat trump at this moment, sanders can’t, warren can’t, rfk jr can’t, yang can’t and every other Democratic politician can not beat trump the only person who I can see to beat trump is Obama but he can’t even run.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
