Happy 92nd Eli

 

Yes the old trooper keeps going.

 

I'll be very surprised if he doesn't make 2009...

Bit wide of the mark to include Eli in the 2008 list again. All reports are that he is quite well.

An interesting nugget off wiki in honour of Eli W's birthday:

 

"Wallach is central to one of the most infamous show business legends. In 1953 he was cast as Angelo Maggio in the movie From Here to Eternity. He was abruptly replaced by Frank Sinatra before filming began. Sinatra went on to win an Oscar for the performance and revived his career. Legend has it that Sinatra used pressure from his reputed underworld connections to get the part. That story inspired a similar incident depicted in the classic 1972 film The Godfather."

 

Wallach went on to appear in Godfather Part III.

No doubt...strong genes or a pact with Satan...

As of a few days ago he safely wrapped up getting to 94. His old lady is 83.....Do we have a thread on Anne Jackson yet?

Since December 2007 I am always checking is he alive, every single day... Well, I hope he will stay alive for some time, he is a cool guy... but, it is not so real... Maybe around 2018 :angry2:

 

He will be aged 93, I say, in the year 2018...

Is it me or does this make no sense at all.

I'm pretty sure it's you. I find Wallach makes a great deal of sense.

 

 

 

 

Oh, you meant Red Roster~~I'm more concerned by his needing to check each and every day on whether Wallach is alive~~and people think I'm obseessed.
