Marita Camacho Quiros (former First Lady of Costa Rica) voted in the April 2022 presidential election at the age of 111.

Comped 412 Posted April 30 12 hours ago, Clorox Bleachman said: Gertrude Baines voted for Obama when she was 114, and attempts to explain why here: A little light on the explanation, but I guess I'll take it. Obama almost certainly has to be the last president someone born before 1900 voted for in that case. Could be not terribly long before we get a president who's the last one to get a vote from someone who was born before World War I, maybe even this November. Assuming any of them left actually vote... Two men and a handful more women. (To tie it back to good old Dick, the last American man who could have actually voted for Lincoln would have died when Dick was in his 40s or 50s depending on how accurate you believe verification to be, similar with anyone alive during Lincoln's term. So he very well could have met people who voted for Lincoln as a young man.) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comped 412 Posted May 30 According to Deadline “I can’t remember what I had for breakfast… but my long-term memory is only getting better.” Couldn't remember what it was like to work on Mary Poppins Returns (which was filmed about 7 years ago), but otherwise seems to be in really good shape. Even that memory issue seems to be somewhat inconsistent, and he is apparently otherwise interested in continuing work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joltin Joe 131 Posted Thursday at 01:13 Here is the full interview, referenced in the post above by Comped. He seems fine, still very upbeat, and is staying physically active. I think anyone is going to have at least some mild short term memory loss at 98. Not the worst DL pick though, I plan on keeping him on my shadowlists from here on simply due to actuarial odds at that age. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffconway/2024/05/29/dick-van-dyke-reflects-on-his-beloved-career-i-am-so-happy-that-i-picked-the-work-that-i-did/?sh=4f2358363528 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His whole comment about different categories of actors was fascinating! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Daredevil 1,127 Posted 13 hours ago Despite his age, a wasted pick this year and next. If Glynis Johns could make 100, why can't Dick Van Dyke, especially considering he is a year and a half away, still goes to the gym regularly, dances, and has just won an Emmy. Should be left alone until 2026, a feeling he will be a 2027 hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
